This whole thing is a really silly take. I can absolutely afford the RX1R Mark III and I can also say it's too expensive and there's no way I'd buy it at that price. And being mentioned in the same sentence as the Q is not a win when the sentence is "this damn thing is nearly as expensive as the Q, but isn't even a Leica." Otherwise, Fuji could just kick up the price on the X Half to $6,500 and enjoy that sweet victory. Obviously some people are going to buy the RX1R III. That was never in doubt. There are always some people who will pay any price for something they want. That's not to say that it's priceworthy.

Same as VW pricing a Golf the same as a Porsche and calling that a win. Err no, you have simply over-priced something massively that is not at the same level. This is not a pissing contest and I only used the Q3 as context, but IMO the Sony only beats the Leica in 3 areas which are; it is smaller and lighter, it has a higher res LCD and it’s AF will be better. Having said that, the Leica is over-priced IMO, but then you expect that with Leicas. It’s more a case of when you compare the RX1Riii against the A7CR and the A7RV it really shows how nuts the price is. Sony have a ton of small lenses and IMO the A7CR at half the price is a MUCH better option. The only thing about the A7CR that really bothered me wss they cheaped out on the LCD and tipped me towards the A7RV. And yes, the A7RV and anything with an interchangeable lens is a slightly different prospect, but still very realistic competitive options. I hope Lumix bring out something similar, - a rangefinderesque type body, either fixed lens or interchangeable because within L Mount we ‘only’ have manual focus M’s or e:shutter only FP/L’s and the massively expensive Q’s. S1Rii spec in an FP/Q3 body for around 3k? As long as they don’t do anything stupid like drop IBIS and preferably has the fully articulated LCD, done deal and dream camera for me.

Lok Cheung's input (the other part by another usual suspect is here) on 360º acquisiton for traditional use -- my bet, actually: That London ride is exactly where I think the sensor size factor (the same for Osmo Pocket 3) makes all the difference (coupled to 10-bit realm, obviously, just not exactly all the way long like in that example but counts more than the usual reviewers tell)... No less. My shot too :- )
