ZX1 images I've been able to find look very good so far. Very excellent Otus level corrections, perhaps the slightest bit of uncorrected spherical aberration in the near unfocused zone. Very well polished Aspheres. The Color Filter Array has a very nice palette, the sensor resolution is plenty for 135 format. Shutter button response is a question. Weather sealing as well.
As to the other stuff about this particular camera? Nearly every camera I own from Sony to Canon to Nikon to has tons of useless ( to me ) features like jpeg mode, or video, or wireless, or program mode or autofocus or film simulation or bracketing or a million other things I try to shut off, turn off, de-activate, ignore, never use, forget about, don't need etc. etc. etc.
Is built in lightroom useless to me? Probably. Can I bypass it and shoot raw DNG in manual mode? Yes, apparently.
Does the Lens / Sensor / Color Filter Array of the ZX1 produce unique images? Almost certainly.
OK, good to go for me.
( When shot on what just forwards to apple store I'll pay attention to phone images. )
I think the lens looks fantastic. It looks to me like it's been designed for rendering rather than clinical sharpness. Now, if Zeiss put that lens in a more classic, interesting body...hahaha.
I wonder if the ZX1 would have caused less consternation if they had released two versions: the ZX1 with LR for $6K and a ZX1 Classic without a touchscreen interface and without LR for $5500. The ZX1 Classic would compete more directly with the Leica Q2.
