How does "effects" make the camera more fun to use? "Using" to me is when you shoot, not when you view the images.

ok, fair enough, different interpretations of the word I guess...using the camera to me means the experience from start to finish, from the time I press the shutter until the results make me smile or frown..

"fun" with a camera can mean lots of different things to different people.
Some people think taking a "selfie" with their iPhone is photographic fun. Others might think the very deliberate and technical aspects of working with a 4x5 view camera with full movements is photographic fun.
To a teenage girl who likes taking self portrait (aka selfie's) photos on her phone to post on Facebook, standing under a dark cloth and composing on an upside down and reversed ground glass with a loupe probably would not be very fun.
Likewise, I could not imagine the likes of Weston or Adams standing in front of a mirror in the bathroom making a a "duck face" and consider it a good time (though who knows lol)
Photographic fun is different for everyone.
Manually operating the controls of a precision instrument and shooting brick walls might be one person's idea of fun, while another person is taking photos of people from across the street with their new 24-1000mm equiv superzoom bridge camera and calling it "street shooting" and having a blast.

Well … that was a funny discussion about the fun of a camera. I never really thought about what makes a camera fun to me till this afternoon. Now I realize it has more to do with the feeling I have about using it. I.e. Do I look forward to grabbing it and looking for something, or is it more of a tool. Most of my cameras are in the "tool" category, but a few have been, or are, in the fun category. The RX100 is one of those in the fun category for me.
Edit: Adding some pics to get back on track… a couple shots I took to show my kids how lighting works for various portraits (using a nearby lamp, nothing set up)

Spent some late afternoon time at Disney California Adventure with my daughter's new RX100. I left it in one of the auto modes as this is how she expects to use it at least initially. I spent a little time with these entertainers at different times. I believe facial recognition was off but it would track the lady singer and wouldn't track Goofy. Any problems I had with it were likely due to unfamiliarity (and vagueness in the "manual") although I'm afraid I'm used to more responsive zoom actions, etc.

Just got one as a walkaround camera when I don't want to bring out my OMD. Really quite worth it!

I like the fun this camera provides. I can grab it and shoot stuff without much planning and still manage to pull off pseudo street pics, around my breakfast table.

The camera isn't perfect, but I still love it. I never thought I'd like shooting with an LCD, but the fast AF makes it more than bearable, if not fun even.
Here's one I took of our flower girl on my wedding day.

Thanks David! Here's another from a stop on our honeymoon at a train station in Bruges, Belgium. I regret choosing such an extreme composition, with the guy placed so far to the left, but ya know...
