Thanks for the detailed reply.

Yeah, EPM2 + 20mm is great for indoor party shots.

I loose 33% zoom, but the Rx10 lens is faster than the 14-140mm I have.

I do not know how to read low-light-ISO on the dxomark. rx10 is 474 and EPM2 is 932.

I checked the following link (http://www.dxomark.com/About/Sensor-scores/Use-Case-Scores). It appears that EPM2 sensor has 1 stop advantage over rx10 for low light. Am I correct?

Maybe I could trade by 14-150mm for 100-300 mm, but I would loose versatility.

I wonder if the RX10 really is faster if the 14/140 is kept within the focal length range of the RX10?

What you need to compare is their 'relative' aperture through only the relative focal length covered by the RX10.

Small sensor cameras often have impressive aperture f-stop but are not so impressive when compared relatively with larger sensor cameras.

I can't do the math but maybe someone else can help?
