Thanks for resuscitating this thread, mitesh. I am puzzled because this thread, despite fairly recent last posts, never came up from a site search I made using RX100 and Sony RX100 as key words for the topic line.

I notice that the 1st few shots were made at 72mm and F4.5. The MKV could have captured Ringo and his friends at 70mm, F2.8 and a lower ISO.
Otherwise you might have considered the RX10 MKIII/IV with it’s 24-600mm F4.0 Lens (600mm would has captured Ringo without his friends).
I think the 72mm in the exif is actually the real focal length, not equivalent, so those shots are probably at 200mm equivalent (it's something like 9-72mm).
I remember looking through my Lightroom catalog and wondering why 8.8mm was one of my favourite focal lengths!
Rebuild in the 6th Century on the site of a previous cathedral, it was the largest building in the world in its day and is now the oldest Christian church in existence. It was converted to a mosque in the 15th Century during the Ottoman Empire then into a museum by Ataturk Republic in the 1930s. It has now just been converted back to an active mosque at the behest of President Erdogan.
It's amazing to think of the history here. Listening to the prayers from the rulers of the Byzantine Empire through the Sultans of the Ottoman Empire, it has stood its ground. Even Richard the Lionheart prayed here in the 12th Century while on his Crusade.
Recently NPR aired a story about recreating the sound of what a 13th Century choir would have sounded like. It's a fascinating 4-min pod cast:
