LX7 on comparometer

I'm all for the RX100 (ordered one myself because its form factor is preferable to the LX7) but you're right. Comparing 1600 v 1600 the RX is clearly better. But a fairer comparison is ISO800 vs 1600 in which case its quite close and I think the LX7 edges it. Although the larger file of the Sony camera will downsample nicely.
