I've posted a Jpeg of the left edge of the RX1 and M9/Zeiss 2.8
Biogon, both at 2.8 and both with no sharpening.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/RX1-v-ZM-at.28.jpg

Also posted is a comparison of the red channel noise at 1600 iso.  See
http://www.paulroark.com/1600iso-red-channel.JPG

Note that the battery showed 3/4 full when I received the camera.  I
could not charge the battery and the third party battery did not fit.
When I returned the camera it was still running, but the battery
indicator showed essentially empty.  I had taken all of 16 shots.
True, I had the camera on a fair amount of time while I went through
the  menu and learned some of the operations, but still, this battery
life issue is not trivial.

As I said initially, it gives an interesting glimpse of the future,
and it has its strong points, but I was obviously disappointed.
