Do you feel that you are getting the image quality you want from your travel kit?

Sort of.... but RX1 gives a beautiful bokeh I only see with my a900.

Is your travel kit too bulky?

My a900 is. My NEX7 is not, but the images are not quite as impressive as my a900 (and presumably RX1)

Do you have disposable income adequate for the RX-1?

Yeah, given the cost of everything else here in Singapore, the cost of cameras is not a problem...

Do you enjoy shooting high ISO images?

Yes, but not critical - certainly not a strong point of the a900 or NEX7.

Is 35mm a focal length you have shot with successfully?

Yes, but I usually use a mix of focal lengths...

The answers to these questions will help guide you.

Thanks ... very reasonable. Gives me a slight nudge towards it....

For pure IQ, the RX-1 will beat any of your current gear but that does not mean you will get better images with it.

Or, even if slightly better, your RX-1 images may not be enough better to justify the expense. It's not like you have crap gear now, far from it.

Or, you may struggle to find a role for the RX-1, with it's fixed focal length and non-interchangeable lens you may find that your images are not as compelling as those you take with a "lessor" but more versitile camera.

Yes, this last bit is exactly what I'm struggling with...

It is a tough call.

It is also worth remembering this, the RX-1 has the current state of the art sensor coupled to a world class lens and is capable of phenomenal results in capable hands.

Damn you, Bill ... that pushes me more. But seriously, your response is much appreciated....
