The sensor may be bigger on the M9, but the price without lens is 10x as much. Plus you can't put it in your pocket or do videos with it.:deadhorse:I know everybody's all excited about this "big" sensor compact camera, but just a reminder...
Actually I owned a number of high-end P&S cameras, starting from Contax models back in the film days till several Dlux's, G10, XZ1, etc., in the digital world.The sensor may be bigger on the M9, but the price without lens is 10x as much.

Thanks for the response. I am fine if it uses slow shutter speeds in situations where it has no other choice. However my S95 will happily choose ISO 80 1/20s every time instead of say doing 1/50s at ISO 200. I would like it to use such low shutter speeds only when it has reached the end of usable ISO (lets say ISO 400 on that camera). So I am trying to understand which behavior does RX100 have, does it try to stick to the base ISO or very low ISOs even if it means using a very low shutter speed, or is it willing to choose slightly higher ISOs (within AutoISO limits) to ensure that shutter speed doesn't go too low.curious80, for auto ISO, you can set the range you will allow, but it doesn't have a min/max setting for shutter speed. As far as I can tell, while in A mode and in a dark scene, the camera will use whatever shutter speed it needs to have proper exposure. However, I leave my S-mode on 1/60 to get around this. When I see the shutter speed is to slow, I just switch to S-mode and adjust it since that's my primary concern at that point.

Hi there, I have the same concern and I will also be loaning it to my mother for her cruise trip coming up. I'm leaning to tell her to just use the "Superior Auto mode", which is suppose to evaluate the scene and choose the best settings to reduce motion blur and etc. One thing that I have tried with the NEX-5n camera was the twilight anti-motion blur mode, which will take up to 6 quick shots and stack them to improve exposure, and it worked quite well if the subject wasn't moving much.Switching to S mode certainly helps. However I am more concerned about making the camera wife-proof, as she is likely going to use it much more than I do.
Not sure anymore ....I'm beginning to think the RX100 is more of a "game changer" than the NEX series.
Excuse my ignorance, but during the carousel shots it appears as though when you pan slightly the zoom is going forward and backward in little spurts. What is the cause? ( 1:20-1:30 mark)Filmed with Sony HX9V (daylight) and Sony RX100 (night) at 1080p60
