I logged on tonight expecting to order a Sony DSC RX100 .... initially put off as housing were almost twice price of camera, now that there are much more price friendly housing available. (less than 50% of camera price)
I was surprised to see that Sony have released a new version of the camera
DSC RX100 II
Tilting LCD, Hot shoe and new menus - may not be of much use to divers, but the backlit sensor is quoted as giving a full stop gain, and also a 40% increase in Low Light sensitivity, and greatly increased focus speed in Low Light .... now that is of interest.
Already rated very highly as the market leader in compact with it's 1" sensor ...
Was enough to make me hold off for a couple of weeks for prices to settle.
Initial review at the ever useful DP review site
