Actually looks real this time! :-O I'm hoping for at least 5x zoom + MIS/mic in.

If I get an HX50 size camera I'll get/make a very thin slip case.  I think cameras should actually include that - form fitted for pocket use.  But since when do manufacturers actually think about...

It's been mentioned once, but the hot shoe on the HX50 is a big plus for me.  The new Sony external mic (XYST1M) is apparently high-quality and so the superb video can have more suitable audio...

I agree.  I stated in another thread that clearly they have the body designs of the new HX50 & the RX100 reversed.  :)  It makes no sense that the serious enthusiast camera has the ridiculous...

Not directed at anyone in particular here, but apparently ppl have a lot of free time on their hands.  Who the hell cares what anyone calls sharp, unsharp or ultrasharp.  Just go out and take...

Which ones in this category are better for your money?  This site suggests the sx280 you mention is only slightly...

Meaningless. It costs 2x as much as 7700. And less than half the zoom. Those are the 2 problems with rx100 I see, otherwise I'd have one by now too. Also massively inferior ergonomics, but...

They still have a useful purpose I think. So cropping nullifies any zoom advantage just like that? Why have zoom at all then? No, the 7700 has a very nice zoom range, while still remaining...

I don't understand why video gets basically no coverage in these reviews. Quick sample clips with no mention of camera settings. No zooming or testing of AF or AE. No comparison or treatment of...

Some fine images!  At under $300, I'm calling the WX300 the poor man's RX100.  :D

Good comparison shots of the cameras.  The designs really show that Sony has the RX100 & HX50 reversed.  The HX has the more enthusiast body with more controls, grip & hotshoe whereas the Rx100 has...

Well there is a lot to say about video, namely analyzing the quality, performance of AE/AF, audio quality, mechanical noise from camera, better test video clips, etc., etc.  But as I suggested,...

I like how there's no coverage of video at all.  :-x But then video is pretty much ignored in general, including on this site (dpreview).  Which is complete incompetence, if you ask me...

I would like to know this also.  I think there's little chance of that though :(  I don't know why everything always gets disabled during video.  Perhaps because the processor gets too busy?

Yes the TX30, a nice unit to be sure.  I guess after the TX7 I decided I wanted a more standard control layout, so decided on HX30 type line.  So now looking at the HX50, but those get a bit bulky...

To each his own - there's no right answer here.  I find the most important pictures to me are the ones taken in the moment, capturing things unexpectedly - equally video as stills.  Things that...

Well keep in mind you need a lot more than 2MP (HD monitor resolution) to make an 8x10 print look good!  :)  Anyway your point is correct.  Who cares what things look like at 100%?  For 99% of...
