£139.98 cheap as chips. I dont think new QX1 is any better. I described this deal here.

It is a refurb but still very good price. Thanks. The only problem is a security of such transaction. It would feel very uncomfortable to send such amount to someone I don't know and virtually without any guarantees.

Not sure if I understood you correctly but you won't get RX1 for 1700GBP. For this price I would be all over it :D. On the other hand every time I get close to the purchase I manage to convince myself that NEX7 with Zeiss 24/1.8 or Fuji X100 must produce similar results.

Unfortunately there is no quick way to switch on/off auto iso. The quickest probably is to hold Fn key and left arrow few times. BTW I ordered XF1 and it's going straight back. Raw quality is simply below any criticism. Looks like Fuji has managed to solve their auto focus issues though. It...

Since X100S announcement X100 is a real bargain. I don't think it is going to be such a huge improvement to justify twice the price.

This thread seems to be dead, looks like most Nex owners post on dpreview forum. NEX thread is one of the busiest there. I suppose we could change it... NEX7 owner :D

I have both converters and they are both brilliant, well worth the money. UW converter gives you 16mm rather than 24mm equivalent. Fisheye is simply great fun to use. I don't think these affect image quality much, probably because 16mm is not brilliant on it own.

I bought 2 lenses from them without any problems. They seem to have some gear at their UK based warehouse, but it still takes 4-5 working days to arrive. You need to pay attention where particular item is located as not everything ships from the UK.

I would find hard to resist such price.

I still love my X100 even though I don't use it too often since I bought NEX7. I take it occasionally for a walk :D.

It's called similar on NEX7. I have been lurking here (and on RX100 forum) trying to convince myself that I don't need another camera :D.

Thanks for the reply. I know Fuji isn't completely silent, but on the street I doubt one could hear the shutter.

Hi guys I have been lurking here for a while. RX100 seems to be excellent street photography camera. I already own NEX7 and since its arrival my Nikon D3S kit gathers dust. Does anyone have experience with both NEX and RX100? How does image quality compare. I understand RX100 is quite a bit...

I find myself using Sony Next more often than my Nikon. My favourite lenses Sony 10-18mm F4 & Zeiss 24mm F1.8.

It has nothing to do with security really. They simply decided not to sell to certain customers for no obvious reasons, which they are unable to explain. Instead they want the customer to use a bank transfer which leaves him completely defenceless in case of any problem. If it was real security...
