I looked at those yesterday, and had the ISO 6400 sample open on my
desktop for a while; it looks amazing as far as noise goes.
I can't tell if you're being ironic in your exclamations. My thoughts
on price: It's priced right about where it should be. Consider that if
you buy a Nikon D600 you pay $600 (or so) dollars less, but don't get
a nice 35mm f/2 lens with it. Furthermore, you're buying A MUCH
SMALLER CAMERA; it costs more to make a machine more compact. Lastly,
far fewer RX1's are going to be built/sold than D600's, so R&D and
production costs have to be shared across a much smaller number of
cameras. Given all this, I'm thinking Sony might not even be making
money with this camera.
That said, I acknowledge that my arguments would hold more weight if
the damn thing had a viewfinder (for the same price). The accessory
EVF and OVF they announced are stupidly overpriced.
As far as nobody needing one... I can imagine somebody who LOVES 35mm
might convince him/herself that they need one. I know that if it had a
50mm lens I'd have trouble convincing myself I *don't* need one :-)
