Have you noticed the lack of IBIS being a difficult work around? Normally it wouldn't bother me as I have a history of shooting non stabilized DSLRs with primes but with the exception of my D810, they've all been 22 mp or so or lower. And my only experience with shooting a 42mp+ has been the ibis enabled a7rII. Normally I tend to shoot at 1/100 or faster simply because even with IBIS I have my 55 1.8 on the camera the majority of the time. But I've been following a user on getdpi who has extensive experience with the RX1 and now she has the Mark II and noted that she has to shoot at much faster shutter speeds, and seeing your shots it seems like they're all 1/100 or faster. I don't shoot at slow shutter speeds regardless of the fact since mostly taking pictures of my kids requires 1/100 or faster, but maybe 1 out of 20 shots or so I'll slow it down to 1/60 or so.
I envision myself being a 1/100 or faster (or basically 1/3x FL) but would like to know that I can take it down to 1/50 or 1/60 or so if need be. Obviously I wouldn't expect to get acceptable results at 1/15 or so like I can with the a7rII.

I have not missed IBIS with this camera yet. I think it would be more noticeable if the lens were slower or a longer focal length but at 35 f2 and lots of ISO reserve, it has not been a problem that I have noticed. I was able to handhold several sharp images down to 1/6th sec with the A7RII but I suspect that would be difficult to reproduce without IBIS on this camera.
The images look so brilliant and sharp on 27" retina display, I am beginning to think the limiting factor over the years has not been so much the quality of glass but the monitor resolution of our computers. I am re-appreciating the quality of Canon L series lenses.
I think I want one but I just bought a used RX1 which is also very nice.
