Sum : € 3820

At least to me this is a price level that has seriously to be considered. No intention to judge or classify such an investment but you better have some very good reasons to buy this cam.

The EVF is not required in sunlight

"Required" is a strong word. The LCD will completely wash out with bright sun hitting it White "Magic" or not. I have an RX100. Same screen. That's is the RX100s biggest liabilty as far as I'm concerned.

The lens hood is not required in sunlight

If one is shooting this level of cam and they don't use a hood in bright sun then they don't know what they are doing.

The battery is available for far far less then that.

Ok

Further it is less then buying a FF DSLR. So I fail to see your point.

No; it is similarly priced when viewed in a "big picture" context.

RX1 will not even remotely touch the full capabities of a FF SLR with a kit lens. (and yes, I "get" that its diminutive size has a value all its own).

You can buy a Mercedes wagon and a well equiped Boxster for 70K. Not hard to make the arguement that the Boxster is more of a luxury and therefore more expensive.
