At this price, a reflex, my dear, do not even hesitate one second!
I pass over the numerous automated and manual modes that will satisfy the "Experts" and "Mister everyone" who just wants to have beautiful pictures by pressing a button, without "taking the lead".
You want excellence? buy an SLR-type 7D or 5D mark III, for example, but Beware of purse !!!
You want a "very good": buy this Sony RX100
Personally, I chose to have the 2 and I do not regret my purchase.
Frankly, at this price, for a device that fits in your pocket, weighs a few hundred grams and also makes pretty pictures: all good, really!
