Re: T6s / T6i vs Compact Panasonic LX 100

Two good options. LX100 can certainly bang out a lot of frames of a modest size, has a nice fast lens and convenient overall package. Some questions I'd ask might be: might you ever want a longer or wider lens? (eg for outdoor sports, or maybe a dedicated portrait lens?). Which has faster overall operation? (how much viewfinder lag on the LX100. No touchscreen on X100 means AF point selection a trickier proposition). Both will give good enough image quality but the larger sensor will be a tiny bit better. Size. Is the size difference enough to mean you're more likely to have the LX100 with you? Addictive personality? Do you have any addicitve personality tendencies? If so go for the premium compact, otherwise if you buy a DSLR you'll be doomed to years of buying more lenses and accessories, them deciding another system is better, selling all of it, starting all over buying Sony (or whatever) lenses.. then deciding they're no longer the best.... and so on and so on...
