4K....I thought going to announce Honami already...in the end kena trolled

It's coming!!

I think the speaker did quite a good job just now. Very smooth presentation covering a wide range of devices (I don't know how he does it lol) with hardly any pauses.

Even so, it was a very fluid presentation, much better than many others that I have seen

What sort of expectation? It's still a puny 1/2.3 inch sensor

I'm just wondering whether the Image Quality would really be as good as the RX100 or not since the sensor and lens (and I believe Image processor) are quite similar

Both camera pictures have heavy Noise reduction processing, applies to 99% cameras in the world if you shoot with JPEG with reasonable NR. The higher the noise reduction applied, the lesser details you get.

Looking at the two pictures: Z1 shoots at ISO400 while HX50V shoots at ISO800

Also, I feel that there's some camera shake when you were taking the shot with your HX50V, at a long zoom shooting at only 1/25 is definitely going to significantly increase the effects of handshake, UNLESS you're on a steady tripod.

Also bear in mind that different focal lengths will affect image quality output, for example shooting a scene at your widest focal length would yield different sharpness levels as compared to zooming in 10x <---- Dependent on the quality of lens already. Higher grade lenses show much lesser image quality degradation compared to one that's more inferior.

What's NF?

High Noise Reduction is almost always applied to especially smaller sensor cameras, if not, you will vomit blood if you see any picture higher than ISO100 [in lower light situations] with your tiny 1/2.3" sensor. Even on the top enthusiast compacts with 1/1.63" sensors like the Lumix LX7, Canon G series or the Olympus XZ series, there is still significant NR on the JPEGs to make it usable at higher ISO

And if not mistaken, you can't turn off NR when shooting JPEGs. Even on my DSLR the only access I have to is the Long Exposure Noise reduction and NR on high ISO

Actually most compact cameras do have OIS.

Most DSLR lenses with IS comes with 3 to 4 stops. 1/60 is quite comfy, with 3 stops IS, it is like shooting at 1/500

I'm surprised your Oly M4/3 has that function

Like I said, most camera phones (and a lot of the conventional compact cameras) have heavy Noise Reduction applied on the JPEGs so that it is more usable in higher ISOs. But of course, what you get is blotchy details all over
