Kevin Boone –
I should point out that I bought this camera at a reduced price during a special offer. I’m not entirely convinced I’ll be keeping it, but I certainly wouldn’t be if I had paid the regular price.
Anyway…
The more I think about it, the more I think it’s a bad idea to try to squash DSLR features into a compact case.
The problem, I think, is that there simply isn’t enough space to put all the buttons you need. If you’re shooting a particular subject, or a particular event, then you can set everything up in advance, and the fiddliness of the controls is less of a problem. However, those are circumstances in which I would use a full-size DSLR. I want a camera like this to keep in my pocket, and just snap away at whatever presents itself. I have a (mirrorless) Fuji X-Pro 1, and it’s fine used in that way — just not really pocketable. But the Fuji has specific buttons for things like ISO, AE-lock, focus mode, etc. These are all things that I want to be able to tweak with a moment’s…

I’ve had the RX100 for 2 months. It’s a very proficient camera, and its low light performance is quite remarkable. It’s quite pricey and for the money I would have like a GPS for geotagging and perhaps more zoom. Partly for that reason I haven’t sold my Canon 700D with its nice zoom telephoto. But it is definitely my camera of choice most of the time, and I don’t really like it to be too far away – you find yourself wanting to grab it that often.
So what are the stand-out features?
– Ruggedness has to be one of them. On my 2nd day (!) of ownership it detached from the top of my tripod (my fault) and fell from table height onto a stone floor.The body is metal and feels nice and solid, but it was a bit flattened on one corner. However, that’s it. No problems whatsoever with any camera functions. Since then I have fallen off my bike with the camera around my neck, and despite road contact, it came up smiling (I didn’t).
– The quality of the lens. I think this is why the zoom is limited….
