I generally skip over point and shoot cameras unless they REALLY grab my attention. There’s just too many of them and I have no use for 99% of them.  Sony have today unveiled the RX100 though which will sit at the top of their P&S lineup and go head to head with the Canon G1X.  [...] Support the site If you enjoyed reading this post and found it helpful, please consider supporting the site by making your next photography purchase by clicking through one of the links below.
