Why you pre-ordered the Sony RX1?

I don't have the money, and that's the reason why I am forced to look a bit critically at what you're saying
But all this talk of "a slippery slope", that's not it. It's just that you do have the money, and you don't have the patience. Or rather, maybe, you do have the patience, but you're not being forced to use it. Because you have the money.
An EVF is all I'd need, and I wouldn't want anything more.
If I were rich, I'd buy the camera, but even so, I'm not rich, and I'm not losing any sleep over the fact that I won't ever own this camera, that doesn't have any built in viewfinder.  But your new camera will take great pictures, I'd really guess. But it will be no fun using the LCD for framing. 
Kind regards.
