No way, Ric (imho)

Or rather they are 2 different beasts;completely different tech and ethos and raison d'etre generally.

They are so different that most people who buy one of them could easily want the other one to compliment the other. Now, there's a thought...

Don't get me wrong, I think the QX's are great little devices, just not good enough IMHO for people to make the effort to use them over cam phones. If you're going to bother with such a device, then it has to be MUCH better than the cam phone, offer RAW output. The QX100 was the bare minimum design, but too expensive and no RAW output. And the wrong interface; needed a much more advanced system than the Play memories app. On phone RAW support and LR style editing would have transformed a non seller into a genuine niche product for gadgety photo enthusiasts.

Ive said it in a previous thread but i would love to see a modular design, clip on lenses, backs (to allow Android/IOS interface or more conventional, with downloadable OS's depending on your combo) and sensors, all the way up to FF. Would be a monster project, clip on flashes, and EVF's , OVF's etc. I guess Im expecting too much, and integrating multiple mounts for different lens sizes and sensors is probably impossible. I can dream...

If we're dipping back into our RX1 catalogs a bit, rather than just showing new stuff, here are a couple from Roanoke, VA, last September.

Some photos from this past week that perhaps illustrate the versatility of the RX1.

Thanks for the info, Ray. I moved to Blacksburg in '88 to study Architecture and remained here. I just recently moved outside of Radford.

Indeed the Taubman was designed by a Gehry acolyte, Randall Stout, who had worked 7 1/2 years at the Gehry firm. Needless to say, it caused quite a stir in the sleepy Roanoke Valley when the design was revealed. I think most folks have grown accustomed to it by now.

Getting back on topic with the thread here's a few of my RX1r images:

I think this snapshop shows something very close to what I saw - very strange light just before some heavy showers. And this is a 50% crop... May not need it often, but a great for special occations.

Cars seem to show the RX1 off to great advantage - especially older ones, with lovely chrome and blending colours.

Thanks. David. The RX1/RX1r really is a versatile camera. More so than most folks give it credit for I think. I tried to post a variety of pics to show that. Two things I forgot to post are portrait and high ISO, so here they are. Portraits are my mom who turns 90 in October and the Grissom pic was handheld at 3200 ISO, f3.2 @ 1/30th sec.

BTW sorry that the exif data is missing from all my images. I didn't realize the preference was off for exif when I exported them from Lightroom. Will fix that in future posts.

Take care and enjoy your RX1 when you get it!

Here are a few portraits, including two at high ISO. All but the dog originated as in-camera jpegs (I shoot raw plus b&w jpeg). Even the jpegs, it seems to me, are very malleable. While many people may not consider a 35mm lens to be much of a portrait lens, the beauty of the RX1 is that it is relatively portable and discrete, which allows you to more easily photograph people and things in what one might call their native environments.
