Thanks, I'm trying out overcooking images for this month and I'm not sure how I feel about it but will try it for a month. I really need RAW support.

They're very good. I forgot to ask before, how did the month of no cliches go?
It certainly is, handles very much like a DSLR and nearly all the focal lengths are covered by it. Great camera, although much like a baby elephant is certainly smaller than a full grown elephant, its still going to take up a lot of room compared to smaller animals.
Again though, very nice camera, but its still like carrying a DSLR, just smaller/lighter but certainly not pocketable in the slightest.
Traveling with a EM-5 kit means a lighter bag and its like "hey, this is nice, my shoulder isn't as sore after walking with it for 6 hours" but going on a trip with the RX100 in your pocket is more of total revelation along the lines of "wow, I don't even know I'm carrying a camera with me, I've got both hands free, no shoulder bag or backpack getting in the way etc"
Its not that the RX100 is going to give better photos, make you a better photographer etc than using a m4/3 kit etc but it does give a different perspective on shooting, how you shoot, where you shoot etc and that can lead to better photos.
I used my EM-5 just like I was shooting a DSLR, only difference really was the size/weight, which can be rather priceless for sure, and got typically DSLR results. All well and good, but with the RX100 I'm taking a camera places I'd leave any DSLR at home, getting access to places that wouldn't allow me with a camera bag etc.
Its just opened up a bunch of new shooting possibilities and really given me hardly any tradeoffs for the way I shoot.
Don't need to sell your NEX, EM-5 etc like I did for the RX100, but I'd highly suggest checking one out as a supplement at the very least. bobbytan wrote:
You should check out the OM-D ... it's a baby DSLR.
Surely you've seen wedding photos using manual focus cameras and big flash brackets before haven't you ? Been done this way for decades
Heck, how do you think people used to document sporting events and other action photography using the likes of a B&J 4x5 press camera ??
Its not Nikon D3s and I wouldn't want to cover a football game working that way but it was/is still able to achieve some great images with a different approach to shooting

Forget about frame rate. How do you catch your subject in focus if it's not stationary?
