The Sony is obviously larger, thicker, and weighs more. However I've been very pleased with the performance and size. I've carried it in a fitted case (see below) with a wrist strap. But also carried it in a Lowepro case with a belt loop (see below). I've used neck straps as well. I spend time in the Sony forum and haven't heard of anyone having dust problems to my knowledge.

Sony has several series in the RX100. The 7 is the newest. However there are other compacts to consider. Not as many as in the past with cell phones taking over the compact market to a great degree. I'm not very knowledgeable about mirrorless yet

Hope this helps some,

Thanks very much, Mina.

If I continue with compacts, I'll definitely be looking at keeping them out of my pocket, so I appreciate the case and belt loop suggestions.
