If he already has an OM-D, why would want to replace it with an X-E1?  It seems like a lateral move.  At least the RX1 represents a major move upwards in terms of IQ The main strengths of the RX1...

Timo, It never occurred to me to use the face detection feature when photographing my granddaughter.  I will have to give it a try.  Does it included tracking? I also have a K-5, which I do...

Going back to the OP in this thread, I cannot agree the Najinsky is a troll.  Rather, I think that he is ambivalent and thus is unable to commit to the RX1 or some other camera.  He seems to be...

The rear LCD on the RX1 is superb, but shooting in bright sunlight to the rear can be problematic.  That is when the EVF is most useful.  Also, it is harder to stabilize the camera while holding it...

Ooh, those photos would have looked soooo much better if they had been taken with an RX1. ; > ) Seriously, they would have been fairly easy captures with the RX1 by using the simple technique that...

There is no vignetting with my screw-on hood.  Since I don't use filters, the purported benefits of a bayonet hood are non-existent.  $7 is better than $50 and much better than $180 (Sony's...

Slow down.  You first have to understand a bit of the program's organization and flow.  On the main screen, you see the various adjustment modules and selections for presets and defaults.  All of...

Did you use a filter wrench to unscrew the filter? Rob

I have yet to take the hood off my camera, but I do not use filters.  Still, I cannot see how it would be much of a bother, as I have done it with other lenses, and much of the time, the problem is...

Since the bayonet hood will not attach to the lens in reverse position (at least the Sony hood will not), there is little advantage over a screw-on hood, which is much less expensive.  Just mount...

I'm sure that hood would work fine, but no better than this screw-on metal hood that I got for $7.  It is a permanent fixture on my RX1. Screw-on metal hood Rob

Jonas, I have no connection whatsoever to Picture Code, the makers of Photo Ninja.  I just want people to know that there is a better alternative to the major commercial raw convertors, especially...

If you plan to shoot in raw and are willing stray from the beaten path, try Photo Ninja for raw conversions and image editing.  What it can do with RX1 files is quite extraordinary. Rob

I cannot imagine anyone choosing an RX1, let alone an M9, for bird or nature photography.  That requires a different tool.  For street shooting, Ray Sachs has been quite successful with the RX1.  I...

Sean, As I said, no camera is perfect, including the RX1, but what the RX1 does, it does very well.  I, too, have missed some quick grab shots, because of slight focus lag.  But I didn't fret over...

At the risk of sounding flippant, you win some, and you lose some.  No camera is perfect, nor will any of us see a perfect camera in our lifetimes.  Street shooters learn to be prepared, which...

It's my first EVF, and I am surprised how good it is.  No, it is not the same as looking through an OVF, but the live histogram guarantees optimal exposure with every shot.  The EVF is not in any...

Najinsky, What I hear is that you fear that the RX1's autofocus will be an impediment to concentrating on other aspects of the photographic process.  I would respond that in certain situations, it...

Actually, I'm rather satisfied with the RX1's focusing, even in low light.  If the camera can detect any contrast, it can lock focus with tremendous accuracy.  When I talk about adapting, I mean...

I'm not sure what you're suggesting here, as the RX1 is one of the most highly polished cameras that you can buy from any manufacturer, including Leica.  While it may not be perfect, there is...
