SLR quality from his shirt pocket

The little Sony has in relation to its size a downright huge sensor. Add to that a very fast lens. Hard to understand how Sony has housed in such a compact housing.
The camera goes, what the actual resolution in terms closer to DSLR cameras. I have compared it directly with my Nikon D300 and the 16-85 mm lens stock. Only the noise is a little disadvantage. There a lot of pixels are just yet accommodated on a smaller in comparing two for SLR sensor.
With the system cameras (compact cameras with interchangeable lenses without mirror) they can easily keep up, is sometimes even significantly better.
The operation is very easy for someone who can take pictures to understand and for such a small camera damn close to an SLR. There's even a "program shift" like my D300. The big adjustment at the lens allow one-handed operation of speed and aperture in P mode to (Program Shift). And without menus, finger contortions on several simultaneously or sequentially to press buttons or switches - simply great. One gets the impression, this camera was made by photographers for photographers. Man can quickly respond to unforeseen situations or adjust all parameters carefully manually. She's really the best thing I ever seen in this size habe.Auch the menus are designed incredibly clear. Actually, I'm sworn to Nikon cameras for years. Still, I can only advise all camera manufacturers, this groundbreaking camera once exactly to look. So and not otherwise to build a "shirt pocket camera", which can be used also for professional work, in my case Tauchreiseführer without later visible loss of quality in addition to the SLR equipment.
This RX-100 is for me the "Rollei 35 modern times", as one. With this camera, just like the legendary, analog Rollei, the images can not consider that they were made with a really small compact camera
Nevertheless, I would still improve something: It would be great if the built-in flash could also drive a separate, large flash system, as with the SLT cameras by Sony DSLR cameras or the competitors. One would not even be able to fasten the flash on the camera, take it easy in the hand or stand somewhere would already be quite sufficient ...
So dear Sony engineers - please carry out the next model!
