I'm not sure exactly which niche the Sony RX1R fills. I suppose it would be 
for the person who:
wants one camera
uses one lens
needs a full size sensor
doesn't mind an electronic viewfinder
has $3,500 to spend on it

That full size sensor had better be really, really good given the 
limitations in flexibility.

HCB and Robert Capa fit into half of that niche, and I think that former LUG 
member GeeBee could live with it.
