Great thread and am also considering returning to a decent point and shot camera besides using my Blackberry Q10 for taking photos.

Previously had a Motorola Droid Pro and also carried a Canon Powershot in the backpack but after getting the Blackberry Q10 ditched the extra camera.

Now thinking about returning to having a second camera available - appreciate all the helpful responses in this thread.

Rx100m4 is higher priced than when the predecessors launched?

Value proposition relative to EVIL is getting dubious, unless a prospective buyer is willing to pay for small form factor.

My Rx100m1 is still going strong and not sure it is worth the money to upgrade.

afaik, sony hasn't discontinued any of the previous models yet and will still be selling the m1/m2/m3/m4....

so you get to pick what category you want to be in (m1=cheap, m2=hotshoe, m3=evf+wide-less reach, m4=m3+pro video)

Just saying, $969 for a compact is pretty steep. You can get pretty new EVIL setups for about the same money or even less.

that's the idea

You can go cheaper but bigger: bridge/mirrorless/dSLR, cheaper/same price, equal/better quality

You can go cheaper but less quality/feature: Canon S100 (and the older RX100 versions)

This camera is the highest-end premium P&S. You only get this because you want the best quality/features in a compact package. No doubt, Sony wants to be king of this corner of the market (G7x seems to be the other competitor)
