Some comparisons with XE1, which I have with me on this Thanksgiving trip along with a Nikon to X Speed Booster.
Ergonomically, the XE1 feels much better in my hands than the A7 -- particularly the location of the shutter button. On the A7, the location is not natural for me. Combined with the mushy shutter button, I feel like I am inducing camera shake every time I push down on the shutter button.
The feel of the shutter button on the XE1 feels much more precise.
Indoor lighting high ISO JPG from 3200 to 6400 is better on the XE1. That is strange because my recollection is that the RX1 was better than the XE1.
AF speed edge in good light goes to A7 with both cameras using their respective kit zoom lenses. In lower light, they are about the same.
Other than better DOF control and higher resolution, I'm not convinced that the A7 is a "better" camera for me than the XE1. Of course "better" is totally subjective to one's needs and wants.
So far, the A7 feels like a high tech gadget. While the XE1 feels more like a photographic tool. That's also how I feel about the EM5 vs XE1.
