A fixed lens camera, basically the functional equivalent of a 1960's 1970's rangefinder, (some of those had extremely good lenses even though they were fixed), for about $3000, doesn't sound like a great option. I think if you're getting less you should pay less. On 9/23/2012 3:33 PM, Tim

Reviewers of the RX100 rave over the image quality but say there are obvious user-interface control botches. I’m thinking that when the V2 comes out, I will have been on the Canon S90/100 pocket-cam bus for several years, will be seriously tempted. The RX1 looks ultra-cool, but yeah, like P.J.

I enjoy taking photos of brambles and woods, and these combine a low magnification level with lots of detail. The differences in resolution between sensors, and between MF film and sensors, is quite apparent even in small prints. The lower the resolution, the more the details merge together.
