Thanks folks - that\'s really helpful information. There are times I like to switch to fully manual shooting and I appreciate how easy it is to do on the Q (and the DF and the Coolpix A), but I much prefer using Aperture priority mode with a great auto-ISO setup including minimum shutter speeds (the total lack of which is the biggest downside of the RX1 IMHO). Shutter speeds change a lot in good light as you move in and out of shadows and I like a minimum where the camera can take it higher when needed - no downside for me and it can react to changing light a lot faster than I can, so I can put all of my energy into nailing the moment.
I really can\'t afford this camera and have no business even thinking about it, but I always wanted the RX1 to be more like this one, with 28mm, shutter speed control in auto-ISO, good zone focus tools (the Sony was workable, but not nearly as elegant as the Q), etc. And I have a Coolpix A, which I love and which does all of the same things but only about 85-90% as well, and a DF, which I love and does all of the same things at least as well, but at a size and weight penalty. So it was inevitable that I was gonna check this one out pretty closely.
The lack of this particular feature wouldn\'t be a deal breaker unless I\'m looking for a deal breaker, which I am! Because the price is already the real deal breaker, but it\'s nice to give it some help...
