Only problem with Sony's modular approach is the viewfinder for nex-5n doesn't fit to the rx series. On the Olympus side, you can even use the viewfinder on Leica's.
LL just put out their first impressions, more on moire:
Sony Rx1R-A First Impressions Review
That's a Moire
The answer to the first question is – yes. There is a difference. The Rx1N is sharper. But as with the Nikon 800e vs the 800, the difference is very small. In fact, my experience is that only in direct on-screen side-by-side comparisons at 100% magnification is that difference really noticeable. Also, once an image has been properly sharpened with an experienced eye, that difference become de minimus. I should mention though that when sharpening, the amount of sharpening required is noticeably less with the Rx1N, so this is both a subjective and an objective observation.
Now to the second question – is moire an issue? Again, just as with the 800e vs the 800, this is solely a question of the subject matter. In the "natural" world, moire is extremely difficult to see. I've been working for years with medium format cameras and backs which don't have AA filters, and never once doing landscape and nature photography have I ever seen moire. Similarly with the Nikon D800e.
But in the man-made world there is the possibility. If you look for it, you can find it in fine mesh window screens and in certain woven fabrics. But, move an inch or two forward or backward and it disappears.
