[Leica] Review of Fuji's new X-E1 with zoom lens.

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

Leica has always been about getting that last 5%. OTOH, for certain
subjects or certain people's way of working, they can't get that 95% anyway
with Leica, hence the "best camera" won't do squat.

So... looking at pure "bigger is better" viewpoint, the Sony RX is very
appealing, since it has a 35mm full frame sensor. However, the sensor
manufacturers have demonstrated that today's sensors can vastly outperform
even sensors from a generation. i.e. did you think the D700 images were
great?! Well, now you can get similar quality from an APS sensor and so on
and so forth.

So I'm afraid the time for a full frame "compact" has passed. If it was
released 3 years ago, people would have flocked to it. Now? When you can
get APS cameras with almost similar quality and other convenience, what
would be the point?
