What exactly do you mean by “this sort of camera?” If you mean a compact jewel with a spectacular lens and amazing IQ, then the RX1 is worth what Sony charges for it, and they seem to have quite a few buyers, including many who shoot with top of the line Leicas, Nikons and Canons. Some of those same folks are dumping their other gear and using the RX1 almost exclusively. Whether removing the already weak AA filter is worthwhile is for each individual buyer to decide. Personally, I find my RX1 to be about as sharp as I would want it to be.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
