I am assuming that you have at least seen pictures of the  RX1? While its 
body may be a little smaller than the X100 (which has both optical and 
electronic viewfinders built in) its lens is huge, the bare RX1 lens sticks 
out further and far wider than the X100 with hood. I would not expect it to 
fit in my jeans pocket, possibly into lower pockets on cargo pants......

This shot also shows that the Sony has no shutter speed dial
