If you are interested in the new Sony RX1 (I know RichW was) then here is an early review. http://photorumors.com/2012/12/13/sony-rx1-review-first-impressions/#more-36132 Lightroom 4.3 provides support for it as well so its well supported already.

Interesting camera - the x100 of the FF crop? I was slow to get on the FF bandwagon in the SLR arena and probably will be in the mirrorless as well

Camera is not for me. If I was going to get another camera in the near future then it would be one of the following: 1. Money no object - Leica M9 with 18mm, 35mm, 90mm lenses. 2. Middle range most likely - Fuji XE1 or Sony NEX6 with 16-50 and 55-210 lenses. 3. Cheap - dont do cheap as it is always a disappointment. So in essence there are three choices. Leica M9, Sony NEX6, Fuji XE1. Now I dont need any of them so its a no brainer. Look for a nice Mac Pro with twin CPUs to blow away my Mac Mini Mini i7 2GHz (quad core) and Macbook Air 1.7MHz units.

My crit of the Mac Mini is the lack of serious genuine fast I/O for large amounts of data. i.e. another firewire socket or eSATA. Thunderbolt is too expensive and too little choice at the moment.

Actually I finished making my assessment of the situation this evening. Unless I go to a 12 core 3GHz machine then it seems pointless to get a Mac Pro in preference to my Mac Mini 2GHz quad core unit. Money stays in the bank for my expedition in February 2013.

The only thing you really gain is the ability to have at least six internal drives on SATA and two more separate FW busses. Probably a little more grunt but at the expense of space and running costs. Oh, and a LOT more expensive to buy. I have heard Apple may be dropping the Mac Pro range but it may only be hearsay. The reasoning is that the volume isn't there and the Mm and iMac can do 99% of what most people need. However this has very little to do with the Sony RX1...

I was teaching a client how to use his new RX100 yesterday, really nice interface - I'm smitten (same sensor size as the Nikon 1 but they kept all the features that Nikon threw out of their compact models)

Actually it was the RX100 that caught my eye, mainly because it's so small, but it is a good P&S rather than a potential DSLR replacement which some of the others are trying to be.
