The Fujifilm X100F is $1,300, and it doesn't even have a zoom lens. I suspect that both were designed as low-unit-volume, high-margin, niche cameras. That's not for me, but there is nothing wrong with that.

I wanted the APS-C but with a fast 35-105 lens. F2 or 1.8. That was achievable. But everyone wants that 24mm wide angle.

All you need is day with an M+22 pancake (35mm eq) and you'd know what I am talking about.

50 degree horizontal fov and no distortion.

It's not the camera...

I have an RX1, so I know what you are talking about. 35mm fov is very nice and versatile.

People have been complaining the G1X series is the beginning of the end or only a one-off ever since before the first one hit the streets.
