Not really. The RX100 is selling at around £450 and the other premium compact (G15) opening price was (and still is at main shops like JohnLewis) £549. That's £100 more for the G15.

The G15 is very much out on its own limb. Sony might have to drop its price further as whilst it has the big sensor it is pretty rudimentary on the controls and accessories front which may limit its appeal in the super compact market.

I think rudimentary on controls is a pretty unfair thing to say. You just have to get used to it and read the manual.

I struggle to see how the RX100 is relevant to a G15 thread. The RX100 is in a class of 1 which is no bad thing.

It's relative because these are two premium cameras which many people were/are torn between, including myself. whatever you want to call them, class 1 or 1/1.7, they are premium compact cameras with zoom lenses.
