Forgive me for posting to he whose name cannot be spoken, but the RX10 compares well with FS100 (no mention of lens on FS100) with more highlight room and slightly less shadows.

Just tried it out at Fotomaessan in Stockholm. First impressions:

Good build quality, but grip and handling is not as good as say the GH3.

Zooming is too slow during recording. I had to stop recording, punch in with the faster zoom setting in non recording mode and then restart recording to satisfy my need for speed. Switching lenses on my G6 would have been more efficient, but adds risks. I wish Sony would add more settings for zoom speed.

Screen feels smallish and should have been a tilt/swivel like on the G/GH-series.

EVF similar to G6, not sharp enough for critical focus. Peaking helps but autofocus worked just fine actually.

Tried it with external monitor, shotgun mic, xlr adapter and remote zoom/record handle on a tripod: works just fine, nice :-)

Zoom range is perfect, f2.8 is shallow enough compared to a camcorder and it has got all the right connections.

Is there optical IS , or only electronic in video mode? Can you have only optical IS ON , if there is one?

Claims that AVCHD breaks up with motion, especially at 50/60p. Not clear if he turned off electronic IS that could be causing micro movements, we already know it is poorly implemented.

Compared to its mirrorless and SLR rivals, the Sony RX10 is both significantly more compact and affordable, once you factor in the lenses you'd need to match that built into the RX10. And bear in mind that both body and lens are also weather-sealed, something that's not too common in affordable, compact interchangeable-lens cameras and their optics.

Compared to bridge cameras, the Sony RX10 might be a lot more expensive, but it's in a totally different league when it comes to image quality, thanks to a great lens and a much larger image sensor. Compare it to Panasonic's Lumix FZ200, for example. Both might have constant-aperture f/2.8 zooms (admittedly, the Lumix lens with a lot more telephoto reach), but the sensor in the Sony RX10 has four times the area of that in the Panasonic -- and it's a more sensitive backside illuminated chip, to boot.

@Mimirsan we are all to a certain level pixel peeper, if not we would not have been on this site. It is good that Voldermore saw the limit of the RX10. A camera that he has been hipping so much himself. For me I have stop believing in any of the Sony dslr camera. Every new model is crippled in one way or the other to protect their high-end camera line. It is so obvious that I can't even understand people who get excited by any Sony dslr camera for video use.
