Subject: [Leica] Fuji X 100 versus Leica M9

The DXO lab rates the sensor of the X100 higher than the M9. While many will 
claim that it's the user experience that counts, in terms of value for 
money, one cannot dispute that given that the Fuij comes with a lens too at 
a price less than a used 50mm Summicron pre-ASPH, the Fuji wins hands down.

And why should a full sensor like the RX1 be any better than a smaller 
sensor, example the X100 if the final outcome of the shots are great? Maybe 
the DOF may be a factor..
Again the user factor differs between these two cameras.

Personally I have used all 3 makes. As usual each has its merits and 
idiosyncrasies. Enjoy them for what they are. 

However should I have to make a call, I'd use my Fuji X Pro 1 with the 
superb 35mm for the "rangefinder" experience and my Nikon D800E for faster 
action and professional work.

Best wishes from the East,
