"Fixed LCD" is an issue for high/low positions, but "not touch-sensitive" seems a less issue as industrial study shows that there is less demanding for "touch-sensitive".

That's (may be) why...

So they are asking more VC money?

The problem for this $1200 body only is the $800 Panasonic GX85 with lens.

The selling point of Olympus is IBIS, but Pana has been catching up as:

- Pana GX7's IBIS is better than nothing
- Pana...

+1 for "And if the original bad lens can be had on ebay for $20, then someone will come along and create a new version of it for $300.".

Poor usability.

Panasonic was not bad for making P&S in the past. Not anymore.

@achim k;
I'm with you that the worst place to put the power switch is on the left side camera as my EM5.M2.

@noirdesir;
I wish SONY can released 1" UWA like NIKON DL18-50, or even wider, but I...

"the lens was awarded one of the top three worst lenses of 2015 !" by other popular site.

It is, take a look, this thing is not only noticeably worse than Panasonic TZ100 which has the same spec...

Tilt LCD is very useful for high, low angle, and selfie. I do not know why Panasonic DMC-ZS100/TZ100 has NO Tilt LCD.

Poor usability. Oh this thing has no NFC too.

Robert Schroeder;

"F-Number is completely different for different sensor sizes", what are you talking about?

I thought that you know something right early, but now I do not think so.

So, Panasonic will glue a zoom (possibly from LX100) to make a LX200.

It is not a bad ideal for making a better P&S with near ZERO R&D cost.

"equivalent" is being used by most, if not all, users for:

- Equivalent FL to 35mm FL
- Equivalent DOF to 35mm aperture

Above are shown by DPR which is good, but the DPR's "equivalent" article...

"How can they make a 1" sensor produce such poor quality images?"

It is made by Canon itself. Most, if not all, Canon sensor are sub-par.

It is true, this Canon looks like an real thing. That's about it.

IMHO, TheCameraStore has far better real world experiences than DPR.

On other hands, DPR's Lab test is good, actually it is the only one which is useful.

+1 for "TheCameraStoreTV gave it the award as worst video camera of 2015 and the lens was awarded one of the top three worst lenses of 2015 !"

Very well said. Especially "the lens was awarded one...

"There is no OIS".

It seems SONY is very happy with RX100s' sales, and has no plan to make:

- 1" longer zoom/travel zoom like Panasonic TZ100, and
- 1" UWA like NIKON DL18-50

We will see.

Canon is on the game of...

Panasonic does not hold the price very well recent years, and the price will go down, just wait and see if buyers do not need this cam right way.

Panasonic is not SONY as SONY can hold on the...

"but $799 with a simple lens looks competitive with Fujifilm's $699 X-E2S camera body or Nikon's $899 list price for the D5500 with 18-55mm VR II zoom, not least as none of its immediate peers is...

TZ100's Lens is not as good as LX7 as seen in the studio scene such as lower corners.

Also, I do not see TZ100 has advantage in the low-light as LX7 is two stop faster than TZ100, but 1" sensor...
