You should read reviews before criticizing them. It will give at least minimal cred.

The tilting lcd changes the equation - by using it as a waist level finder and tensioning the strap around your neck, you have a stable framing/shooting base. The RX1 doesn't have that.

The new sigma 35mm f1,4 is very sharp edge to edge/corner to corner.

I've been using fat cow. It seems to have all the bells and whistles and has been trouble free.

When your files are corrupted and start vanishing I think you'll find the real world knocking at your door.  Leave minimally 10% free or you will have definite problems.

$2800 and no way to stably frame a shot? How is that delightful?

Also look at HP.  Tend to be more technically advanced.

Darken screen - use search for many threads on subject.

I will keep the 35 f2 - Its only weak spot is the corners, otherwise it's sharp and more importantly small and light.  It's a lovely lens but for critical sharpness at the corners it's a tough...

You could get the 50mm compact macro -- sharp as a razor - and if you upgrade to a full frame (and with 5d2 selling near a grand US why not) you still have a lens.

I'd suggest getting Vuescan and using multisampling.  I'd also suggest a Betterscanning holder.  http://www.betterscanning.com These are inexpensive items that will increase your scan quality.

Silverfast is tied to one scanner, Vuescan works with a multitude.  It also enable multi sampling (for increased Dmax) and hardware file reduction (same).  Silverfast may be good but it's expensive...

I use the "free Memory" app to help with this.  When memory reaches a level you set it frees the inactive memory.  There is a pause in the action but a small price to pay.

Just got it and testing it.  My main concern is corner sharpness - it is very very good.  Heavy and big though - but if you're used to L lenses that shouldn't be a concern.  For street use I'd...

Either of these lenses are very good, light and unintimidating.  They are also quite inexpensive.

Think about it - think about what you see.

It's nice that blind people contribute to the comment page - heartwarming.

According to blackmagic a 64gb card holds 50 minutes of raw footage - using my math skills I think you're off by a factor of 4.

You might want to consider an epson 4990 and with the money you save invest in the following things: vue scan software (http://www.hamrick.com) and a custom film holder...

Apple is well known for this both for software and hardware(see final cut pro etc.).  Appleworks was discontinued many many years ago, as was pages - the openoffice suggestion is good - you could...
