The one I have taken a fancy to is the Olympus OMD, I think it is the retro look and feel but it will have to stay in the shop as I have other things to buy first.

Ed, How do you find the NEX7 interface controls ? The NEX6 is meant to be much better with the MASP dial on the top. I guess that the whole EVIL market is still developing. The Fuji XPro1 has rough edges that have been smoothed out with the newer but junior XE1.

Hi JK In a word ... lousy. I agree with all of the reviews that criticise the menu system. It takes a long time to work through the non-intuitive menus to set up the way that you want. But it is worth persevering. The main problem is that the default settings are essentially P&S. The attached is for Rich, ISO 1600, f 8, 1/16 handheld. Downsized hugely for the web. The noise on the original is fine. Attachment: DSC00474.jpg (Downloaded 28 times)

Oh dear. But you seem to have very nice output. The blacks are very black and seem relatively noise free. You say you are using PhotoNinja for the NR. I have that as well but I'm not sure how or if it works with other software. Like with Bibble5 of old.

The combined kit price is £1089 but the camera alone price is £689 and the lens £599. But do I really want the XE1 camera body as I already have the XPro1 with 18mm f2.0, 35mm f1.4, 60mm f2.4 lenses. These are very good lenses but the new zoom has much less CA than the 18mm and is a great walk-about lens as it covers the full range of all the primes. However the new Sony NEX6 with 16-50 would do the same for £800 and with the 55-200 for a total of £1000 which is less than the Fuji XE1 kit. But I dont want to have another camera make and lenses! Also there are the problems of the support of the new Fuji XTrans sensors whilst the Sony stuff is bog standard sensor technology. I suppose I should wait to the end of January which is the traditional price drop time for camera kit. Choices, choices!!

Ok I visited the Sony store. The NEX6 & 7 were very nice indeed), the sales man was working hard trying to push me towards the 7. However the difference between them and a D7000 is not compelling enough to push me in that direction...... yet. I feel in the future this may be where I end up. What was stunning was the RX100. It's tiny, a fraction of the size of the Fuji X100, about the size of a pack of cards, with the same size sensor roughly as the Nikon V1/2. A quick play in the store at ISO 3200 and zooming in on the back of the camera showed a bit of noise but usable. I kept holding it up to my eye though - it would take a while to get used to no view finder. I think one of these might find it's way into my Christmas bag, it's the perfect camera to take out when you don't want to take a camera. Wouldn't replace my DSLRs but very nice to have, maybe more so than the Fuji.
