Originally posted by ogl There are no cameras with 1" sensor except Sony and Nikon 1.
Nikon 1 has Aptina sensors and interchangeable lenses.
RX100 has not too fast lens at long side, a bit shorter lens and no tilting LCD.
And it seems to me Sony doesn't sell this sensor to another companies.
To make camera with such specs and 1" sensor = higher prices and bigger size.
Yea, I had the RX100 for a few months (before i stupidly lost it :'( ). My biggest gripe by far was how quickly the aperture dropped off. The IQ was as good as advertised, but it is far from a flawless camera.
This MX1 may not be a homerun, but i think it is a stand-up double, lol.
A con: I would gladly sacrifice some length on the long end to get to equiv. 24mm on the wide end as opposed to 28mm.
Pro: The tilting LCD is a definite +1 in my opinion. I love holding the camera at chest or waist level to get candids, and doing that with a flat LCD is just awkward and not fun.
A 1" sensor is sexy, but the $650 price tag is not. I am not looking for ultimate IQ with these types of cameras. I want something better than my camera phone, but not as good as my K-5.
Sometimes changing lenses is a drag. It's nice to have a fixed lens that will cover 90% of the focal lengths that you actually use.
