I still use my KM 7D but like a lot of people the smartphone camera gets more use as it's always there.

It seems that if the smartphone is getting more use then another DSLR / bridge camera would not get more use.

It seems to me I have a couple of choices.

Option 1> sell my existing DSLR stuff, and get something like the RX10?

Why are you selling? Is it to make room and/ or to help fund Rx10? Whatever you do never sell the M7D. You'll never get it's value + it's an amazing camera.

Option 2> stick with the A mount? I like the A77ii but I am not convinced I would get any better results over the A68?

Back to original point

I like to shoot pets/kids, holiday snaps and I also like the occasional airshow. I am not sure my skills would produce any better shots than a bridge camera like the RX10?

If your comfortable with Sony body design and don't mind carrying it then the RX10ii or iii will suit needs but then you may need anther camera to cover low light or maximum discretion. Good luck with your search.

Pictures below were taken recently.I would welcome all comments/suggestions.
