Maybe \"point and shoot\" needs a better definition, because one could argue that any camera employing autofocus and some form of auto exposure is a point and shoot camera, or has at the very least, point and shoot modes.
I was not sarcastic. Maybe I chose the wrong word, after all I\'m not a native English speaker, but according to my lexicon indistinguishable means \"not able to be identified as different or distinct\".
Which is exactly what I meant. No one can see that the RX1 is a $3k camera, you\'ll look as any other tourist with a $350 P&S camera (especially when using the LCD for framing). Which is a very nice thing in my book. Carrying a huge DSLR, which any FF DSLR qualifies as, is in many places unwise or even dangerous. You\'ll stand out in negative sense, and you will keep looking over your shoulders - which attracts wrong people even more.
But even in safer places it\'s nice to \"blend in\", carrying a huge camera scares away people. Leica owners usually claims this is as an advantage, but frankly, I think a lot of people recognize the red dot and the camera is really not that small.
