Nice that it has a large sensor. I wouldn't really want to limit myself to a single focal length lens on any camera. It's very limiting and the flexibility offered by a zoom or interchangeable lenses is too great to be ignored. Too many missed shots and opportunities. This is no doubt aimed at street shooting. A built-in viewfinder would be far better. I love my Sony RX-100, but the one thing I really really wish it had is a viewfinder. I wouldn't consider an accessory viewfinder. One more thing to carry, attach, detach, and it would interfere too much with utility of the camera. I suspect the RX-100 is the last camera I'll ever buy that does not have some kind of viewfinder.
