Something you could afford vs. something you can just dream about.
$1,200 vs. $8000
1.5x vs. 1x
Lighter and smaller vs. heavier and bigger.

I'm not sure why its not being compared against the X1 I wasn't
understanding the reason Erwin gave. The X1 fell short somehow but I don't
get it.  I think its going to be compared against and X1 consumer priced
camera whose lens does not come off.
To me its not a feature to feature  thing or which has the highest
resolution thing. Its an is there anyway in hell I'm going to get one thing.
I don't know how many people I know who love photography and Leica who's
going to come up with eight grand for anything expect a used Volvo.
I know I'm not going to be able to go there.

To me we're comparing a consumer item against an item which can be realized
by the very few.
