Will I be disappointed in the IQ?

It depends whether you are happy with the muddy, devoid in detail, images that your RX100 seems to produce. The ZS100 would struggle to do that

Some of my TZ100 (ZS100) images are in my sig links. Full size copies should be visible by clicking the Flickr links. All shot as RAW with minimal processing in PS.

Something rather unusual seems to have happened to that file - at an enormous 26MB, it's a considerably larger JPG than the camera would have produced ( at least judging by output from my RX100ii and RX100iv).

Very possibly TZ100 files would have fared no better?

Peter, I did the same significant crop with one of his full size images and got the same results, see my above post. When I view the file data on my image, it states 16MB, as it should.

Best,

Of a downloaded copy of that one of yours I'm seeing dimensions of approx 16 million pixels - but a huge 25.2 M file size... thus..

Any idea quite what you did with it?

Not that this really matters re the choice of a replacement, or so I'd say!

Peter

Peter,

Very odd, as the dimensions stated in your download of 4486 X3588 only equal about 16MB.  So who knows?
