Hi,

nice pics showing the nice colours for which I also liked my A2 quite a lot.

Recently I've re-processed several of my A2 files and it's bright 28-200 lens helds its own over quite some time.

But then the Sony RX10 came - under several aspects a real successor with it's equally bright constant f/2,8 lens and with even more range at the wide end. And the best thing: it's similar compact, has a bigger sensor and much lower noise and better high ISO performance.

How do the Sony RX10 and Minolta A2 compare in size , side to side ?

The pictures I've seen if the RX10 make it look quite big , like the Sony R1 from 15 or so years back .

I still use the Minolta A2 & a200 because if their size when I'm out with my large format gear and don't want to take a DSLR .

If the RX10 was small enough I might be tempted .
