I do not expect the RX1 to part the ocean or produce Pulitzer Price worthy photos on its own.

I would just like to see examples (aside from the official ones) of one or two really sharp images, like I have seen numerous times produced by the D600 and a 50mm prime. I have a hard time believing the photojournalists (or whatever you call them) who went to Sony's California release event aren't significantly better than the average Joe at producing a sharp image when they want to.

I feel the same, but perhaps the targeted audiences are hard-core enthusiasts, and so those of us who comb the web for every review and forum post on the RX1, have higher expectations on the early photos.

Given the photojournalists had limited time to learn and play with the early pre-production camera and beta firmware (my speculation), and not all of them (except Steve Huff perhaps) are at ease with range finder cameras, I'm fine with what have been presented so far, and look forward to the detailed reviews when Sony finally ships the camera.
