The RX10 seems comparable to the Olympus Stylus 1. Has anyone compared the two?

Hello Jack, I have not done that comparison I'm afraid. But I had the LUMIX FZ200, which does compare to the RX10, and I can say that i like the SONY better.

Check out DPReview's First Impressions Review of the Olympus Stylus 1. While the review is not a direct comparison, the RX10 is mentioned and compared numerous times. The main and most important differences between the two cameras is the size of the sensor, and the price. The DPRevew evaluation of the Stylus 1 is quite comprehensive and will help you make an informed choice.

While both of these are so called "bridge" cameras the Olympus SP-100 has one huge advantage over *all* other cameras in the class including the Fuji FinePix S1. The Dot Sight. At high zooms it is very difficult to frame the subject with any other camera. This can be very very frustrating. The Dot Sight eliminates that frustration. Once you are familiar with it you just put the illuminated reticle on the subject while keeping both eyes open. This makes tracking moving subjects very easy and intuitive. I just works better than any other camera. Otherwise the photos and everything else are pretty equal across the entire class.

Instead of the RX10, at $400 less with 400mm zoom verses 200mm with the RX10, and 4k video in which you can play back and get 8mp photos from, I would consider the Panasonic FZ1000 camera instead. It is coming out at the end of July and can be pre-ordered now.

Can't give specific response about this camera. Can only offer my own reaction vs. built-in flash on RX-100-2...camera flash worked better than HVLF20M, so returned the external unit. Of course, your experience may vary...

-Olympus E-PL5 has a much larger imaging sensor than the Stylus 1. Better low-light performance, able to make larger prints, and it resolves far-away details in landscape photos better (however this is only really noticeable when viewing photos at large sizes). However if you aren't blowing up your photos to huge sizes or do critical low-light work, you may not notice much of difference between the two. -The Stylus 1 can only close down to F8 when shooting manually (although it does have a Neutral Density filter to cut the light by an extra three stops). While the E-PL5's aperture can close down much farther than that. -The Stylus one has a bigger screen, built in EVF, and built in flash...which the E-PL5 does not. E-PL5 comes with a clip on flash for the hot shoe and you can buy an add on EVF at extra cost. -The lens of course on the Stylus 1 is much more versatile. You cannot get a constant aperture 28-300mm lens for the E-PL5 and if you were able to...it would substantially increase the size of the camera. While the E-PL5 is the technically superior of the two, most people I think would probably enjoy shooting with the Stylus 1 more due to the reasons I just mentioned above.

Well, that's kind of my point. Why get the SX1? It's going to be too big to have the p&s; convenience, and the quality won't even be close to even the Rebel (especially if they release a new one in the next 6 months.The SX200IS should be small enough to carry everywhere, and have close to the quality of the SX1.As much as the SX1 interest me, I'm having trouble figuring its place in my, or others, camera needs.

The one I received had Olympus branding. Don't buy it, though. It's garbage.

Sorry, there is no comparisons here. The SONY is a "pocket" camera" and the Olympus is (overall) much bigger and will not fit in a pocket. There are several main differences. First, the Olympus is 40X optical vs the Sony 20X optical. With that much zoom power, you need a camera you can hold on to. The Sony offers little in this area. On the flip size, the xtra wide angle of the Olympus can't be beat. Second, (and this is my preference) I like using standard (rechargeable-Nimh) double AA batteries for the Olympus, vs. a custom battery for the Sony. While I have taken over 20,000 pictures with my SP-820, I have mastered only 30% of the features; and try to learn new ones when I can. My Son likes Sony Camera's for their size, but he mostly shoots on auto modes and rarely uses any of its features.. While there is a "significant" difference in megapixels (Sony 18 megapixels vs Olympus 14 megapixels) this could make a difference in prints larger than 11" x 17" (and you would need a really large printer.) I have such a large printer, and I am always impressed with the quality of the prints from my Olympus. You maybe wondering, what photo programs I use. Generally Picasa, Photo shop (for digital manipulation), Corel Photo (quick and easy) are my three favorites. The decision you must make - do you want a POCKET point and shoot camera or one that will really take pictures you want. My only failure to date is I have been unable to "shoot" the International space station as it zips by. I must tell you that until you become accustom to the 40X zoom, a good light weigh quality tripod (or mono-pod) may be required.

D10 all the way. Its stats are similar to the Olympus with it taking better pictures. I have heard good things about the Lumix, but it is only Wp to 10 feet.

Well, I see Orson has given a very complete answer. Not having shot the Rx100 I can't offer an opinion but I can tell you I am VERY pleased with the quality of the pictures taken with the LX7. I think the bigger sensor may be more of a factor if you are shooting videos than with stills. For me, the LX7 is great. Get an electronic view finder if you can. Oh, and study up! All these cameras have a ton of features. I'm still learning!

Optically this Olympus is a little better than the Lumix. I have observed that Lumix lenses make a faint fluttering noise when mounted on Olympus bodies. My understanding is that this has to do with the way Olynpus and Panasonic have implemented 'live view.' By the way, I also think that the Olympis looks more retro and is more in alignment with the styling of your E-M10. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Hi there, i think that is almost the same if you watch it from the outside. You can check this page to see the difference: http://snapsort.com/compare/Sony-Cyber-shot-RX100-II-vs-Sony-Cybershot-DSC-RX100Or google it to lear more

The biggest difference is the new X-Trans sensor which removes the optical low pass filter (OLPF)... making pics much sharper than they were in the x10. Here's more from dpreview's review (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujifilm-x20/): At first glance, the X20 looks just like its predecessor (the X10), although it's now available in a very pretty silver-and-black finish, alongside the conventional all-black. But inside it offers a couple of very significant differences. The first is a brand-new sensor, a 2/3" type 'X-Trans CMOS' design that uses the same novel color filter array as Fujifilm's recent APS-C cameras. This sensor also has phase detect autofocus built right into it - not new to Fuji cameras, but a change from the X10. The second big change is an updated 'Advanced Optical Viewfinder' that includes a detailed information overlay, showing key exposure data and focus confirmation. This isn't the same as the hybrid viewfinder found in the company's X100/X100S and X-Pro1 models - there's no electronic viewfinder - but it's never been done before on a compact camera. The X20 is available in silver/black and all-black bodies Aside from this, the X20 retains most of the same features that made the X10 so appealing. It uses the same fast zoom lens, with a 28-112mm equivalent angle of view and F2.0-2.8 maximum aperture, which is operated by a mechanically-coupled zoom ring that also retracts the lens and turns the camera on and off. It has plenty of external controls, including an exposure compensation dial and two rear dials, and a hot shoe for external flash. One feature notable by its absence is a direct movie record button - the X20 is clearly designed for still photography first, and video second.

if you plan on shooting only or mostly outdoors, then the superzoom might be better for you BUT... those superzoom cameras have very slooooooooooowwwwwww lenses which are terrible in low light situations. the advantage the RX10 has over all of the other superzooms is that it's got a super fast lens made by Zeiss. Also, as you zoom with other superzooms, the aperture changes so that it will become progressively darker as you reach into the tele range--the RX10 stays the same as you zoom. If you are buying the camera to shoot surfing, the superzoom would be better, but if you want an all around competent camera, it's tough to beat the RX10! pmrphoto.com if you plan on shooting only or mostly outdoors, then the superzoom might be better for you BUT... those superzoom cameras have very slooooooooooowwwwwww lenses which are terrible in low light situations. the advantage the RX10 has over all of the other superzooms is that it's got a super fast lens made by Zeiss.

I have the rx100 2 so I'm not exactly sure if it fits the original one, but from what I've read they have the same body size so I would assume it does. It fits the camera great and is a perfect alternative to paying over $70 for the Sony one!
