RX1 is fixed lens FF, FF NEX is interchangeable camera. I dun think it makes sense to compare either of them together either. Sony if want to create a cult following, they better start making Sony FF lenses as good as Zeiss (only one that could upstage Leica) or just use Zeiss to make all their FF lenses (with AF of coz, but it will be super huge). Then it's the FF body, the sensor, the way the micro lens design to avoid any purple fringing. Better AF speed (Phase Detection sensor) etc.
Then it makes sense to price it above USD4K. Looking at the time it is taking them to make such a FF body, I guess, alot of work is underway now. Be patient and wait for the poison...
RX1 yeah was a fixed lens FF cam but they can use it as gauge or maybe even the NEX7 or NEX6 sales could be their true gauge just to feel the market. Yeah R&D is one of the reason for the product price... but for now its premature for Sony to command very high price. To me and maybe folks like me if they price their NEX FF at 4k USD wont get it knowing 6 months down the line they will release a new one and the price of my NEX will drop from the sky... and also they need to make sure the workmanship would be stellar... I heard a lot of feedback that NEX7 rubber grip came off just a mere 3 months of usage and even the neck strap lugs came off or the V-Ring had eaten it through the lugs.... these quality issue needs to be sorted out before they could really go try to chip away Leica user base

You know what I mean bro when it comes to workmanship you've own XE-1 and NEX7 how does Leica M compares to both bodies?
