Personally my recommendation for a great digital carry-everywhere
camera is a Fuji X10 with the 'new' sensor. Very Leica-like, has a
viewfinder and it's sturdy, has a 28-112 lens which is f2.0 at the
wide end and 2.8 at the long end. The RX100 is 4.9 at the long end.
And I don't see a lot of difference between and 2/3" and a 1" sensor,
they're both tiny. I bought one that had the 'blooming' problem, sent
it to Fuji in Edison, NJ and they sent me a brand new camera with the
new sensor. Makes me happy. I take it with me everywhere.
