Re: Allow me to chime in with a slightly different view...

My very quick thoughts on the mini.

first, you are correct that you get Samsung colors with the mini. To me that is the number one reason to own this camera along with the excellent dynamic range.

The mini has a bit of an identity crisis though. What is it good at other than the above? For the most part the RX100 series is better in every way. The 9-27 is just an ok lens. It’s slow and kind of futsy to use. Plus it makes the mini not so mini. The 9mm is slow but the most practical to keep things pocketable and very light weight. Certainly gives beautiful results outdoors in good light. The real gem is the 17mm. It’s a 45mm equivalent at f1.8 AND has OIS! It makes gorgeous photos and is the most compelling reason to own this camera. But it is hard to find at a decent price.
