I'm laughing because I think of a thread that was here some months ago, can't remember the title or who created it. It was funny. Someone?
i remember it was a joke inspired by all the m-monochrome hand wringing. apparently some people found it rather offensive.
An early and quite strong entrant in 2013's least informative thread contest.
Tom, I suggest you post RX1 information, links etc. in the 115 page RX1 thread, located permanently on Page 1. Other kinds of people, including those interested in photography, might benefit from it being there...we can leave it at that perhaps.
there are lots of personal anecdotes on "the site that must not be mentioned" and not as hostile as usual, except for a few barackers.
I recommend Sean Reid's review on "reidreviews" if you are a subscriber as the best one I have read.
in summary the RX1 needs to be handled as a professional (which I am not BTW). Particulary the colours are devastatingly neutral, so good workflow in Lightroom or other is required
Due to the closeness of the back lens element to the sensor, there is some distortion and also softness at the extreme corners when wide open.
The DR and detail is astonishing.
The controls and switches, surprisingly, are the best I have used, including Leica. The aperture ring is a dream.
