Sony rx1 or Canon 6d with sigma 35mm 1.4

[roblewisphotoco]

Have to update my kit . I can only afford one camera I am a street photographer , and like to get in close so would love the size of the rx1 but when you have one camera and have a few canon lenses the flexibility of the Canon makes more sense . Head over heart ? Any opinion's

Yeah...I'd probably go with the 6D myself...just for the versatility of the Canon lens line, as well as the Canon's ability to use so many "other" mount lenses via adapter....Nikon, Olympus OM, m42, and so on...

Sony, if auto focus can be turned off and focus can be set to 10 feet,F8-11 if not Canon, i use my M4 for street @ 10 feet, F8 and shutter speed to suit light conditions

At this moment, I'd probably go with the Sony RX1. But it would actually be more expensive as I would require the EVF attachment for it to be usable.

The RX1 is not the camera you are looking for...

Leica Monochrom would be my choice if i had the money

If I had that kind of money... Instead of buying a Leica... I would probably flush a 3rd of it down a toilet in America. Then use a 3rd of it to get to Australia. After that I would flush the other 3rd down an Australian toilet to see if it went in the other direction. Then I would be out of money and in a foreign country.

Shiiiiiiite...

Just think about all the toilets he could have flushed in all the different locations on the planet with that amount of money. He could flush a few toilets at the equator to see if there's no swirl at all.

Hmm,
Leica M + 35mm f2.0 = $10,000.00
Sony RX1 (35mm f2.0) = $2800.00

Have you considered one of the other mirrorless cameras (Sony NEX, Olympus E ...) ?

The difference between the Leica and the Sony is the interchangeable lenses, and not being stuck with a tiny little 35/2 for the duration of the life of that FULL FRAME SENSOR in the Sony. Seems silly.

Yes ... and no.
gsgary's friend would have the Sony as a cheap pocket camera ... I think that is the target audience for the RX1 (though I would like one also).

Cheap pocket camera??? At $2,800?

It's about as much of a pocket camera as the X1 IMO.
