Engadget is telling us to expect an announcement for a Sony RX1 camera shortly. They are saying that this compact camera will contain a full frame sensor, along with a Carl Zeiss 35mm F2.0 apparently-not-interchangeable lens. Is this the first mirrorless camera packing a full-frame sensor inside?
Here’s another image:
(from here) Word has it that this will sell for more than the Fuji X100 (US$1,200) and possibly even more than the Leica X2 (US$2,000). I suppose they’re thinking that people pay $7,000 for a Leica M9 so that this would be a relative bargain.

Its a relative bargain to a M9 and a 35 summicron.! There is a lot of enthusiasm for this on the rangefinder forum, I can see why.
There is a whole slew of cameras on the horizon that Im finding really interesting. Im 90% 28 to 50mm prime shooting and this, the fujis and even the sigma Merril are looking really interesting.
I love my M9 but its has its faults, to be honest I much prefer the m6 its smaller has a better viewfinder and the shutter is softer. If the M10 is only on a par with these others then its not a great upgrade path.
