Re: SP-100ee another selection of samples ( 9 images)
Yes you may be right about the bigger MP . I've too have seen much better landscape detail on other small sensor cameras.
My point really is that the SP-100EE ability to render fine detail in landscape situations is a bit naff.

The 12mp 1/2.3" sensors are much better as can be seen with the Canon SX280 when you look at Cameralabs comparisons with cameras like the TZ40. There is definitely a problem with the cameras in that they have far too many pixels for the sensor size. Greater than 12mp more pixels means less resolution and it is all a bit of a marketing con really.
A 16mp 1/2.3" sensor is definitely not as good as it gets for the sensor size. 12mp or probably lower would be.
Do you know for a fact that the 200mm maximum equivalent for an RX10 would crop down to the detail available with the 1200mm equivalent SP100 lens given that with the RX10 we are only talking about a 1" intermediate sized sensor? My 55-210mm lens on a Sony A3000 can probably better my 26x Pentax X5 but the former is aps-c so I doubt the RX10 can outresolve the SP100 at full zoom. Notwithstanding the RX10 costs shed loads of money.

The same complaint arises with the SH-50 -
Yes that does not look to good either. This is not a camera I would want to use for a day out general shooting, I would use my X-S1
Just one afterthought - you do have the compression set to FINE, on the first MENU page? The default was NORMAL on my SH-50.
Thanks for the thought but I have tried both fine and normal the smearing effect is the same.

There is not a problem with the cameras; it is with your expectations. There has never been any camera with a 1/2.3" sensor that could render very fine detail, especially in superzooms. Until or unless you are willing to buy a camera with a much larger sensor and lens, this is as good as it gets for now. The Sony RX-10 is good as it gets right now if you want to render much more fine detail. The E-M10 with a 14-140mm would also be a great choice and be a very versitile choise being able to put other lenses one it when needed. But, having the much larger sensors and lenses will cost you much more money, weight, and size. It's all about compromises and what your priorities are, and budget of course.
