Sony’s newly announced DSC-RX100 is a unique compact camera in design and performance. While it takes on the demeanor of a small, simple-to-use camera, it also provides a great deal of appeal for even the professional photographer.
This camera’s control range includes modes that will provide auto exposure and scene-recognition tactics, or you can be left entirely on your own when working in its full manual mode.
Beneath the sleek design is an impressive 1.0-inch 20.2MP sensor for outstanding image quality, and an incredibly fast Zeiss f/1.8 lens for low-light shooting and greater control over selective-focus applications.
Here are the product highlights:
...Canon MUST respond or they will lose their S90/S95/S100 base. Simply put: people who reads these boards will pay big dollars for the truly pocketable digicam that shoots RAW, lets in a lot of light, and has the biggest sensor possible.

This new Sony DSC-RX100 has impressive potential for a P&S cam.
However, all the above with great sensor and focus speed & accuracy doesn't mean a thing to me without a stellar short shutter delay!!!!
The absurd shutter delay in all P&S cams in my experience has been the biggest 'turn-off' and deal breaker in that genre for me!!
I cannot find any spec for this metric in this camera in all the verbiage I've seen.

I am mystified why the public has put up with this for so long. I can only imagine that for the vast majority a P&S (read POS) camera was their first camera and they don't know better.
