Martin,
Great shots as usual. I see you settled on the RX100 as your "compromise" camera. I agree with your take on it, as good as it gets at this size but the corners could use some work. I often compose and then crop to 4:5 aspect ratio which helps the corners a bit.
Vern,
Dang, I'm a desert rat by nature but your shots make me think I should take up cross-country skiing!

Thanks Ken - ironically the desert and the icefields have a lot of similar characteristics...

Thanks Kwalsh; I'm surprisingly happy with the RX100. Probably because I know it was never intented to be perfect, so I can live with a few flaws when it's this small. I carry it all the time, everywhere I go.
Corners are indeed weak at times, but mostly at the long end of the zoom range (I think). I've also shot a bunch of images with severe decentering, but it's not consistent and thus nothing wrong. Just the effect of an extending and wobbly lens, and I don't care too much at this price point. No, I'm not rich, but I hope you see what I mean.
The 3:2 aspect ratio is really disturbing. When someone at last decides to increase the sensor area in a "P&S" camera, they do it in the wrong direction.
---------------
Oh well. This time I got roughly what I expected, which is a nice, truly pocketable camera.

I must say that I like the colors of the RX100 much more than the OM-D (which made me sell it). Funny how a smaller sensor can be better.
I agree. This is what I also said in the OM-D thread recently. The RX100 sensor feels more modern than the one in the OM-D. Nicer colors and overal tonality IMHO. Sharpness/detail isn't great, but you can't have it all. I still think the RX100 is fantastic for the size.

I must say, I really like the RX100 as well. I've been using it a bit more lately and the files are really good for a P&S. I find them actually at least as malleable in post as the OM-D, maybe even more so.
Here are a few snaps from a recent m/c trip, which unfortunately ended with my riding buddy breaking his leg at the end of this day on a freak low-speed tip over, a few minutes after the cliff-side shots.

Downsize the rx100 files to 16megs and they will appear a bit sharper in a direct comparison

Millsart; no they won't if you use a good lens on the OM-D. The MFT system is really stellar when it comes to small and sharp primes, and even the humble Olympus 12-50 kit zoom destroys the RX100 lens, in my opinion.
Non the less, the RX100 is great considering what it is. Pocketable.
