I don't know what your background is.

But I have quite a lot of experience with DSLRs and yet you continually refer to this magical group of professional DSLR users out there and make sweeping comments that they would all agree with your point of view. Sorry, but that is rather weak on your part.

Yes, a SLR IS more capable. Never said it wasn't. But it is only really more capable in that it has PD-AF and the ability to use multiple lenses. Pretty much everything else you want is there. Oh, and the pro models have slots for 2 cards.

Fact is the view finders are optional. Add them in if you want but I don't find that comparison to be apples to apples. The D600 comparison is the closest you can get and I still have reservations on the lens IQ matching the Zeiss 35f2.

Let's say it is close enough, the only good camera is the camera you have with you. that is part of what makes the value of the RX1 to me. I work a normal job that is not that of professional photographer. You know what feature the D600 can't match that the RX1 can? The ability to be with me all the time. I can't carry around a big camera bag, and laptop, and ipad, and everyting else all day. But I can bring the RX1 without without any trouble, match all the IQ plus some of a D600 + 35 prime, spend much much less money doing so, and my only drawback is not having PD-AF as I have already decided 35mm is all I need in my primary camera.
