All that you have stated is true; I might even be inclined to suggest that it is self-evident.

That said, I think the OP made an accurate (not particularly novel, but accurate) statement regarding the camera relative to its cost.

At its price one better be sure that it is what you really want because more broadly capable cameras are available for similar money.

Whether or not all those other features are needed/valued would logically be part of that assesment as would a comparison of size/weight/bulk.

My guess is that for most people it is a mute point as this will be a secondary camera with some brand of ILC also in the bag (or the front hall closet).

Again, I looking forward to your pictures.

Best-

The term is moot. not mute.

I disagree that there are cameras that are similarly priced with more capabilities. At the very least it must be compared to a FF DSLR. Sounds to me like you are comparing it to body only prices. Though it comes with a lens worth over a grand. Pair any of the FF bodies you may be referring to with a comparable lens (glass is after all the most important component) and you wont find a more capable camera in the same price range. Not close.

I also disagree with the OPs point relative to the cost and what this camera brings to the table. Since you want to play the on topic card. If this camera was being discussed in the Nikon or Canon DSLR forums it wouldnt even come up as a large amount of money. It is only because we are talking about it here in the Cybershot forum that it looks that way IMHO. In the world of FF people pay this amount for individual lenses. Often.
