Yes, keeping the exposure at the low end helps, but you can make that adjustment in DXO as well.

I agree with the poster who said that he thought that the better handling outweighs the better sensor in the RX100.  I have never used an RX100 of any model, but they just don't have the control points, as well as having a very small viewfinder and being fiddly.

What's the point in having a camera if you don't like using it?

I would go for an updated model in a flash, so long as they kept the size, aperture and zoom range the same. Increasing to 1 inch sensor would destroy the perfectly balance compromise of size/pocketabiity and performance.

But, a newer generation of 1/1.7 sensor and AF engine (PFAF?) would make it a magic camera. The lens is a bit iffy at 2.8 except in am emergency, but by 3.2 it is much better.  Could that be fixed without making it bigger...don't know.  What about a refinement of the already super effective lens cap so that the petals made a decent lens hood?

Actually, given sufficiently good performance there would be no problem (for me) in a much higher price.  I would dump a lot of bigger gear!

Seems like a very promising development allowed to rust!
