kit sold...i did have 2 bodies but have now sold the entire nikon outfit i put together...i think i enjoy putting together kits and then selling them...and i never make a profit...lucky to break even most times.
i really liked the lx3 when i had one and if it had fit into a pocket better i might still have it.
i loved the x100 too but i am wanting a true pocket camera this time round.
the rd1s are settled as permanent kit and back up to each other so it's an af mostly auto experience i want and while the d200 was a nice camera it did not fit any of my current pockets.

according to sony canada the rx100 is shipping out in 2 days...so i'll wait and play with it in person.
i sometimes have a quick reaction to gear after handling it so when buying new i like to handle it first if i can.

I handled one for the first time today at the Sony store in Palo Alto. Overall impression was very favorable. Nice build and EVF. Menus would take a little getting used to (for me). Image IQ looked quite nice.
If I had a gripe it would be the lack of a nice little mini grip or ridge on the front. It felt a little slick in the hand to me.
Overall, very nice!

Same here.. That video record button is the only thing that always gets me on the Sony cameras. I wish they either implemented a disable for that button or a two stage setup where u have to hold it down for more than a couple of seconds to start t but the second press immediately stops it or put video as a quick menu option and let us reprogram the button for something else.
Have fun with it
Gary

i (very briefly) got to play with the camera today and my initial impressions are very mixed. it seems like a great camera, but i hate the ergonomics and even compared to my GRD it felt kind of... fragile? like a toy. probably didn't help that I handled a 5lb Mamiya 645AFD (*drools*) a minute before.
i'm undecided about the camera now, though. i never before thought that ergonomics would be such a deal-breaker. at the very least the camera would need the grip mentioned above. on the other hand, i could get a new GRDIV for $450. sigh.

fragile?
i would never think to call it that...seems very sturdy to me and hefty for it's size...i think the grip will make a big difference.
i bought a longer lanyard and hang the camera around my neck like a large pendant...just till the grip arrives...
