The major difference is in width... LX100 won't fit in a jeans pocket (Coat pocket should be fine). RX100 probably will fit in jeans.

Possibly but to be honest my DSLR is collecting dust because I can't be bothered to take it out due to the size. I'd have to see a LX100 in person, but if its not pocketable I can't justify it. The RX100 an G7x images I've seen are more than okay for the shots I'll be doing.da_guy2 wrote: ↑LX100 isn't that big. It's smaller than most mirrorless cameras cameras even and it's only slighty larger than the G7x and RX100. If you're use to the image quality of a DSLR, and this is going to be your only camera I think you'd be disappointed with the results from the G7x and RX100.

I like the way Panasonic did the LX100, it looks like a nice photographer friendly camera packing a lot of punch in a small size, but the Canon is a clear copy of the Sonys (while trying to one up them on the lens and price, but not even offering a hotshot or evf). I think these cameras will put pressure on Sony to lower their price which was pretty lofty. If a Mk3 was priced at say, $50-100 more than the Canon (due to EVF), it may keep the momentum on the RX100 as the market leader.ShadowVlican wrote: ↑ the LX100 is looking quite good too.... competition is finally catching up and may beat sony at their own game

I'll disagree there, the hotshoe and evf really make the camera stand out for me in terms of versatility. It's what made me upgrade from the 1 to 2i because I do use the Sony auxiliary bounce flash for indoor shots. I'm less of a big fan of the EVF, but quite a lot of my photo friends would not consider a camera without some kind of EVF option.

It will probably sell just because it says Canon. It should be quite easy for Sony to have a "new lower price" if they choose to. Sony has the advantage they make the sensor for Canon so they do have the cost advantage.

RX100M2 Japan price: Yen 64760 https://www.mapcamera.com/item/4905524947939hdom wrote: ↑^Well, we will see what Sony's reaction is and what they bring with a RX100 IV, if there is one. One could easily say that Sony has taken advantage of their 1" compact stronghold with small steps between 3 generations RX100 that are just progressively more expensive than the last. Personally think that is just business, and they all do it.

they probably started development of their camera before Sony showed off the M3, so it makes sense that they were probably trying to hit the M2 price and spec target with slightly better specs on the lens. The EVF turns the M3 into a different class of camera price and demographic wise.

It can be argued that Canon was already using slightly larger sensors in their S and G series for a few years until Sony finally "copied" and leap frogged in 2012 with the RX100. Not that the S and G series sensor was that much bigger than the competition, but it did give them an edge in image quality: http://www.techlifestyle.org/2012/11/go ... 00_22.htmlwarpdrive wrote: ↑I don't want to argue about who's copying but basically I was saying that Sony is helping lead the way to show how to rejuvenate the dying P&S market. There is really no more market for P&S cameras, but this new category of 1"+ sensors is actually causing people to take notice of these cameras. Canon isn't really bringing anything new to the table unfortunately except playing catch up (still playing it safe).
I think Sony, Panasonic and gang are just more hungry (because they are coming from behind) and it shows. Fuji is also doing well in their own niche

I bought the S because it was the best at the time, but I rarely ever used it. Just because it's the best doesn't mean it is good enough for me. I don't consider myself an average user. Hence I like things like hotshoes and don't care for crappy on-board flashes. There are people that buy stuff because people say its good, but I buy stuff and only keep it because it meets my needs.
