I find this photo to be cheap and disrespectful. If this was you, would you want the picture posted online for people to gawk? Anyone can take pictures of homeless or troubled people on the street. It takes neither skill, effort, or imagination. -
<p>Thanks Rob for the link to the images. Pretty much answers my question--you can crop a lot and the images still look good. This is a big plus in favor of the camera. I will probably wait until the fall to see if Sony releases a replacement at photokina. But it's on my short list.</p>

<p>Are the files from the Sony RX1 good enough that you could crop down to the equivalent of a 75mm focal length and still have a high-quality image suitable for printing at 8x10 or 11x14?</p> <p>If that’s the case, I’m wondering if you can think of the RX1 as a traditional 35/75 prime lens combo (except that you crop instead of changing lenses).</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the insight and thoughts. Since my original post, I spent some time in a Leica store comparing an MP to an M7. I also spoke with the sales guy for quite a length of time, as it turned out he was more at home with the film M bodies than the 240, etc.</p> <p>I've summed up an answer to my question with the following two points: 1) It doesn't really matter as you'll get the hang of it regardless of which camera you choose; and 2) Going for whichever design is "faster" kind of misses the point of shooting a film rangefinder in this day and age. Sure, you want to be handy with your camera so you can get a picture without fiddling. But if speed is what's most important, other camera styles are probably more appropriate.</p>
