Of course, if he would have printed all the camera body, mechanism, etc. but would have complemented it with a glass lens, the sample photos would have looked indistinguishable from any other...

Well, if you would be a taxi or Uber driver, you would use those cars as your daily work tools, and you will account for their cost in your tax forms.

By this logic you would go with no zoom for any camera, as for any sensor size you choose, a 50 equivalent prime would be better than a 10x zoom.

Well, here is the ZS40 image, sharpened. It does seem to me that it is worse than the Casio. Lotzi

Well, pretty much all the images look very, very good at a 27inch 4K monitor full screen. So I assume they would be just as good printed in a comparable print size as well.

I would just use the FZ1000 studio scene comparisons and be done with it.

But it also does not have a limit on the 4K recording time. Having virtually the equivalent of the FZ1000 functionality in the RX100 size is a very nice package.
