This isn’t really a surprise…The RX100 is the Compact Camera of the Year 2012 at Photographyblog. And I guess quite many here on SAR bought that little jewel. One more thing: In these days I also got a weird rumors from an unknown source saying that Sony would launch a new RX100 model. Let me know if you got something about it.
That said the cheapest price I found in US is at [shoplink 16489 ebay]BigValue (Click here)[/shoplink] and as super kit for $648 at Amazon (Click here). And to noble your RX100 you may look at the Italian Leather Gariz case.

The Display of my rx1 is defect today:-( less one month of use. The evf still works. have to bring the camera back. Hope to get a new one soon.
maybe you meant RX10 with APS-C sensor ?
Ouch! And hope they make an RX 100 VF model, that would interest me!
Yes, that is what I would like to see too. A VF, and an integrated, sharp zoom 18-50 or 18-70. I would plunk down $1000. for that (and I already own and love an NEX-7)
Sony is doing a great job, I think. My only quibble with my NEX-7 is the menu system. The peaking level really should be programmable to one of the buttons, and the menu button should be at the bottom, not the top. Otherwise, very good.
Screw the zoom, give me a super-fast, ultra-wicked prime.
Although the RX100VF would make the most sense from the not-having-to-design-a-new-lens and not-having-to-design-a-new-sensor and not-overlapping-and-potentially-cannibalizing-the-NEX point of views, the problem as I see it is cost. Integrating an EVF (assuming the same XGA OLED) into the RX100 would necessarily add $200-300 on top of the current price, just exceeding the Nikon V2 w/kit lens, and making it a much harder proposition for the general consumer (not us photogeeks) to swallow.
The latest fad in the business is filterless, AA-filterless more exactly. IF a new RX100 is in the making, it would most likely be without AA filter. And I would expect Sony to present new NEX models soon without AA filter as well. Just me taking a guess. 🙂
My guess is that the RX100 replacement will have PDAF on sensor. Not enough for me to upgrade.
I am very happy with mine so far. So any future model it will have to have:
1) shutter cable release option,
2) integrated filter thread,
3) EVF port
Very very happy with mine as well. Hardly used my NEX since I got the RX100. My wishlist for the next one:
1) Filter thread
2) Tiltable screen
3) Bit more wide and tele (although I guess that would be very hard to do)
I love my RX100, a pocket full of features and amazing IQ. It is a dream to use and a wonderful walkabout camera. So much power in such a small format. Sony thank you for the compact to beat all compacts and well done on the award.
Si
ND filter too.
Awesome camera, I love the RX1. Now when riding my motorcycle or my bicycle I always carry the RX1. Also I am about to receive the RX1 I ordered last month from B&H. Great IQ, size, lens and handling it’s fantastic.
Samsung is coming out a mirrorless fullframe soon. Sony rumor is fast action abit slow. Hope sony could be faster in releasing the fullframe nex.
I need a 24mm Zoom.
Tele is not important, but wide angle is.
i would pay considerably more for a slightly bigger body, weather sealing, and 24mm wide equiv. EVF optional.
what i would love for the new RX100, maybe something like 24-70 F1;8-F2.8, with something to put a flash.
I don’t care about the VF, cause it will make this lovely camera too big !!
they should bring t2 camera one with 24-70, and one other with 70-200
then, i sell my 5D mk iii for those tiny sexy camera 🙂
let’s see what the RX10 will bring, for sure, some thing good.
Would be nice to have, RX1, RX10, and RX100 with us 🙂
