And you can use it as a backup for your other Canon gear. My only Canon Gear is a G11. Then I already own the X-E2, and so far two lenses. I am considering at least two others in the near future. In the area DSLR arena I will wait to see what develops in Nikonland. I still have and use my D300S along with useful DX and FX lenses, which seems to work quite satisfactorily with my refurbished eyeballs and non-pro needs. -- Regards, Savageduck |

My first digicam was an Ixus50 and then one of the batteries failed I could by a used 70 for less money than a new battery. The CHDK addon firmware makes make DNGs. I still use the 70 at times.

Only plus side is the faster lens, but I still prefer a full frame 35mm to a full frame 28mm as a fixed lens, it's just more versatile. I sold my RX1 and got myself a A7 instead, but I do miss that 35mm/f2 with a macro ring sometimes, it took some really beautiful shots: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jonaseklundh/14231923721/ -- Sandman |

Can't see a failure here. The camera is not yet available and Sony have left a void in the market segment. Red dot phobic?

The Sony RX1 was, like many other contemporary Sony products "bjonky"! -- teleportation kills |

Nah, and your a cheepoo that hasn't upgraded to the D810. People like you are killing Nikanon dead! Actually I am thingkin about the 750. It has an articulating EFV, and reportability good low light capability. Realistically though i want to see a mirrorless Nikon. -- PeterN |

If you want mirrorless then there are Nikkor adapters for Fuji, Sony and EOS-M. And 4/3 if you can accept such a small censor. EF and chipped third party lenses works as expected with the wired adapter on the EOS-M. A caveat is that the chips that I use have to be programmed with an EF camera. You should convince the Duck to try out one of those focal reducers and report to the group! -- teleportation kills |

If you want mirrorless then there are Nikkor adapters for Fuji, Sony and EOS-M. And 4/3 if you can accept such a small censor. The sensors are too small to satisfy my liking for WA. EF and chipped third party lenses works as expected with the wired adapter on the EOS-M. A caveat is that the chips that I use have to be programmed with an EF camera. From what I hear, auto focusing is way too slow with converters. You should convince the Duck to try out one of those focal reducers and report to the group! Why?
