Don't do it, Peter! Go for the X2.you are not really helping me in staying away from that camera
So now I have to buy the OM-D and a SonyBoo Hiss you lot are dreadful.
Had quite decided I didn't want one, and I just popped in to my local fixer for a battery, mentioned the camera and one was quickly thrust into my sweaty mitts . . . rather nice I thought, and before I could stop myself out popped the card.
I blame you lot - it's all your fault :cussing::banghead::angry::argue:

I'm a fully paid up subscriber to the X2 - why stint yourself Peter . . . . . get both! :banghead:oke::ROTFL:Don't do it, Peter! Go for the X2.
(Just cheerleading for the other team... It's a pastime. ;-)
Your images are fantastic Uwe - innocent or not I'm not so sure!> I'm a minor danger compared to you!
You are in Britain and deserve the gold. I mostly show innocent images .
What was wrong with it?Some of my last images before I sent it in for replacement.
if it helps you Peter...and I am also interested in the x2...but...Jono & Uwe

So far, DR on the RX100 seems not that great, but otherwise really like IQ.
Did I say I was comparing it to anything? I was confirming a valid observation made by another forum member.>Yeah, if there is one thing that bothers me about the RX100, it is the DR.
What are you comparing with? Other P&S should be the benchmark.
I wouldn't call it great but I also recognize my bar may be set higher. I still have a collection of film compacts loaded with Portra in regular rotation.Just a couple of dinner party shots from last night.
shot as jpg, converted in Aperture. DR seems great to me (for any kind of point and shoot at least).
Probably Not a higher bar - maybe I'm being too positive - Great is probably not the right word.I wouldn't call it great but I also recognize my bar may be set higher. I still have a collection of film compacts loaded with Portra in regular rotation.
If you insist on comparing to small sensor compacts like the S100 or S95, then of course it is an improvement.
Regardless, it is a landmark camera and a great step forward.
Jono - I'd give it a solid "good" but again, we are only talking DR here. My original comment was that this was the ONLY qualm I have with the camera. I can live with the not so shallow DOF because of all the "advantages" as you say. And this was not a digital vs. film argument - I was simply commenting on the DR performance.Probably Not a higher bar - maybe I'm being too positive - Great is probably not the right word.
Still, the DR is okay for a small sensor camera, and I challenge you to get better IQ than that at 6400 ISO pushing your portra! I don't suppose many of your film compacts have a 28-100 f1.8 / f4.9 zoom either - or autofocus as fast and intelligent as this.
On the other hand, I don't see what it has to do with a Contax T3 - surely you should be comparing that little beauty with the Fuji X100 and the Leica X2?
These benefits in the RX100 do have some downsides, what seems to me remarkable about this little camera is that the downsides are so minimal compared to the advantages.
