Re: Guess I'll finally stick with m43

I kept dreaming of an RX1 and just went for it. I am still agonizing (after over a year) whether to keep it or not. There is a slight image quality edge, 24 vs 16 MP, better detail, nothing earth shattering.

If you want a second body especially for landscapes and night shots it may work well for you. However, a few drawbacks...

  • No IBIS
  • Fixed FL
  • Spotty/slow AF (improved in II)
  • Image review / zoom in camera mind-numbingly slow 
  • Less flexibility / options / features compared to MFT cameras

I am in the process of acquiring some good primes to hopefully make up my mind one day. It seems to me that the pluses and minuses cancel each other out and perhaps the best thing is to try out the different systems - like the OP has done.
