I already have.
I took it to "Delfsail", which is a festival in The Netherlands featuring tall sailing ships (e.g. the Russian Mir and Kruzenshtern), and had a blast with it. Sometimes I did wish the lens would be slightly wider, but then I wouldn't want to give up the long end. For this kind of camera, I think 26-105mm is right on. (the same range as my 17-70
)
Seriously, I also have the Pentax Q10, but now I'm starting to think, why bother? The sensor is so much smaller, and I can just take the RX100 in my coat pocket. I could do the same with the Q and the 02 zoom, but it's more cumbersome since it doesn't retract.
