At RRP of about RM 2K it will have to be very good to beat canon, pana and oly
especially with xz2, s105 or lx6 about to be launched in a couple of months

An in depth review here.

actually, i'm one of those who will be putting down my dslr ( maybe for a period of time...) and going to a high end compact. so i'll be replacing my dslr with either the successor to xz1/s100 or the rx100. i'm still waiting for the others to show up first.

Between now and sept(photokina) we will get to see a new generation of
high end compacts. Fast lens and I inch sensor will be expected or else
don't bother tongue.gif

For those of you who are trying to decide Sony RX100 or EOS M the fact that Canon
considers the EOS M as a video camera first and still camera second shud be
interesting. This means they will probably not do anything about the EOS M
slow AF ( 1.2 to 1.7 sec it seems)

"When we met with Canon, reps were careful to note what the EOS M is, and what it isn't. In the US, the company is positioning the EOS M as a video-first camera, designed to be something of a companion tool for videographers and cinematographers much the same way the G1 X is designed for pro shooters who want something smaller than their DSLR. Since it lacks a viewfinder, reps said, it doesn't provide the same still photography experience as a camera like the T4i. Without the controls and ergonomics of a DSLR, it's also not as fast to operate. Canon's not even calling the EOS M a "mirrorless camera," lest buyers be confused into thinking it's a NEX or Micro Four Thirds competitor. Though the camera's clearly capable of the same functionality as a NEX-F3 or an Olympus OM-D E-M5, Canon imagines a different user, one much more focused on video. If you want to step up from a point-and-shoot, reps said, buy a T4i."

if you not in hurry you might as well wait for the s105 announcement which would be in this 2 months times based on the pass s90 - s100 trend.

Hope the Canon S105 does not disappoint like the the new Pana LX7.
Hoping it has tilt touch screen, and larger sensor but same body size LOL

more like a compliment, I do own D90. Looking for a more pocketable camera which can also take descend videos with certain bokeh effect and manual focus control... smile.gif

The search is still on... these few months's gonna be exciting
*
For pocketable premium point and shoot I think there will only be RX100
and Canon S series. Planning to buy the RX100 when the price drop below
2K biggrin.gif that is assuming the Canon S105 which is due does not create a stir.
Despite all the praise and publicity the RX100 is not flying off the shelf like
when Fuji X100 and X10 were launched. It is available on display almost
at all camera shops I visited recently with ready stock.

Just wondering what is the best price you have seen for this RX100?
*
The ones I visited all quoted rm2499 but I hear it can be bought for rm200 less
at some places. Sony malaysia is price gouging because they have a winner and
no competition for now sad.gif Prefer to wait for price to drop and also see what
photokina has to offer next month biggrin.gif

2119. Best price so far.

Really tempted now but i keep thinking about the lack of external flash hotshoe. ._.

Thats a very good price. Looking at his price list I was surprised Nikon J1 can be
bought for only RM1,3xx.00 only. the black one with 10mm lens look like a mini LEICA biggrin.gif

Hey no problem. I was just bored and randomly lurking the Trade Zone.  biggrin.gif

Quite sure even with the hotshoe it will still be small. Though putting even the smallest external flash will make it look weird. Argh should i ditch my X10? rclxub.gif

I just noticed that. Very cheap. ohmy.gif

Less than 1 yr already bored with your X10? RX100 really tempting though.
In addition to the confirmed X200 , Fuji might surprise us with a X20 next
month biggrin.gif

I think you forget the Samsung EX2F which also had the F1.4 optics as well as same 1/1.7 inch sensor (with apps + wifi function) but no detail review yet to justify its optic and image quality.

However looking over LX7 and RX100 it seems to aim different audience in my personal opinion, RX100 seems much pocket-able and clean looking desig if you don't care about add on flash or EVF where else LX7 is more feature packed.

Did someone mention samsung EX2F ? Have a look at these.

i think the time that XZ1 launch back then and the time that Sony launch its rx100 have something to do also. Back at the XZ1 it was unique for its really fast lens. But when RX100 launch now the market already too crowded with pocketable size premium P&S.

So if XZ1 will launch today it wont get the same rating as it get back then.
*
If you are refering to pocketable size premium P&S then there is only the S100 and RX100
plus maybe the Fuji XF1 which will be launched on the 5th Sept. 2 or 3 is hardly a crowd tongue.gif
