If it really is an A6600 style body is be keeping your rx1r3 even if you decide on the new guy as your primary body.
The A6600 is significantly bigger than the RX, and the body weighs about as much as the RX with lens!
And good though some compact interchangeable lenses would be, I can’t see a decent interchangeable 2/35 bring as small as the RX - if it’s any good it’s hard to see it being smaller than the 1.8/35. The RX sonnar has the benefit of elements right against the sensor...
This is true but many complain the RX1 series is way too small and not ergo friendly. Most RX1 shooters end up adding a grip to it, which increases the size and weight. We already have the FE 35/2.8 ZA and it could be a good match for the new A7C.
Rumors say we will get more compact lenses as well.
Agree if you are someone that adds stuff or your RX the you will be more tempted by the new guy. Me, I have a very thin leather half case which makes my RX1R2 less slippery but almost no size or weight.
I hope we get more quality compact primes, like a reboot of the ZA series early primes, but my fear is very slow compact zooms ending in f6.3. Which aren’t of course useless, especially for landscape, if the quality is very high, but aren’t my cup of tea...
Which leather half case are you using? I have a grip as Fred says, but that adds quite some weight.
I‘m not against small, I have a Fuji X100T with a thumb grip, which I like so much more. It has a tiny bit more size at the right places, and you see the complete photo settings at one glance, no need to fiddle around with screens.
