Hi,
I just finished a short article: RX1 vs X-1E. In short I think that the X-1E plus the upcoming 1.4/23mm will be the better option. What do you think?
The longer version plus samples is here:

Hope you like it.
Thanks for sharing, nice read.
Sony though is a smart company. They know how to market products. The RX1 doesn't come with a viewfinder so they can sell you one for about $600 US. People buying a $2800 point and shoot are probably not going to hesitate plucking down another $600 for the viewfinder. The more expensive products get, the more expensive the extra's get. It is just like the grips for the 5D3 and D800. Very expensive add ons, there is no physical cost reason they should cost so much more than the outgoing grips.

I don't think it was a smart move. Lot of people hate add on viewfinders ( I think so but I know I do ). It's just makes no sense to make the camera as small as possible ( maybe even too small ) and than make it even more bulky by adding a viewfinder. I also think that such a device is prone to all kind of problems: contact problems, mechanical problems. A camera will never be as tough as with an integrated viewfinder.
