Originally posted by itshimitis I have the RX10, and it is a great walkabout camera. I shoot mainly landscapes so I don't shoot wide open very often. Very sharp, good dynamic range and you can get shallow DOF. Ok with this shot I was at minimum focus distance at 200mm equivalent, this was at f/4
Beautiful image!!!

Thank you all for your comments and information. I learned on film cameras. Digital is still throwing me a curve ball at times!
I want the best bang for my buck quality wise, as small as possible...easy right?
We are going to be staying at a house a few blocks from the beach in the Caribbean. A colleague is letting us stay for free as a return favor for issues we took care of when he was out of town. We went on a cruise 15 years ago that stopped at this port. The beach front looked great, 2-3 blocks in, not so much. He said it is a "resort town" now. Google Maps' street view shows me that is pretty much looks the same. I want something that will give me great image quality almost as if I had my "big camera" kit with me that will fit in a slash proof sling. (The sling is small but still big enough that I can carry my 60-250mm f4.0 and a Sigma 50mm 1.4 in it together...These plus my K5-iis with a Sigma Contemporary 17-70mm 2.8-4.0 is my typical "walk-around kit"). The older Sony bridge I already have fits inside with plenty of room. I saw reviews on the on the RX-10, but I'm not sure I justify $1,300 when I could get another K5-iis for half of that if it was lost/stolen.
Here is a link to my Instagram feed. I am participating in a photo-a-day challenge so it will give you a pretty good random sampling of the type of photos I take. Tags indicate which camera/lens.

The images I capture on this trip will probably be used in a slide show on a TV screen patients can watch at the office while waiting and wall art if the image quality is there. Nothing that is going to be published in Nat. Geographic...
So now...since smaller is better, I don't mind changing lenses if necessary, I want plenty of zoom, and I like macro and bokeh too, what would you suggest? LOL I was looking at mirrorless too, but was intrigued by the constant f2.8 on the bridge cameras. Do the Pentax Q lenses work with the Sony NEX-3N without an adapter?

Originally posted by jogiba I agree, the Sony NEX-3N sells for $299.99 at B&H with the 16-50mm (24-75mm FF eqiv) PZ OSS power zoom lens and the APS-C sensor has a much better rating than the top rated bridge cameras.
Where did you find this chart. Can you customize it to show the comparison of the NEX-3N and Q7?
