The initial LX7 leaks are out - see below. The Sony met my needs and still does but now you have competition.

What competition?

^I don't believe a camera necessarily has to have a sensor of the same size to be competitive. The faster lens should make it pretty competitive, even though it's larger. The price difference will also make potential customers doubt between these cameras, and the EX2F, so yes, they are competitors.
Thanks - I think I get all of that. But when you're in manual focus, is there any sort of distance scale that shows you the distance you're focussed at? Most fixed lens cameras with manual focus seem to have some version of that, some with a depth of field indicator on it as well. Something so that I could just turn the manual focus control to set the focal distance at, say 2 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet, infinity, or something like that (maybe in meters rather than feet)???

I think those comparisons are inevitable and sort of a big reason this forum exists. A bunch of people who like shooting with these good little cameras trying to figure out which is better for THEM. There is no one right or wrong answer, but there probably is for me and there clearly is for you... These two cameras are getting a lot of attention right now because they're the two newest releases in this very popular (at least around these parts) category. So a lot of us are trying to get a handle on the plusses and minuses of each. When the new Olympus and Samsung and Ricoh entries show up, they'll get a ton of discussion to I'd bet. As the G1X has in recent months.Seems to be a lot of focus on competition with the LX7 but I'm not sure why. I simply want to get the most out of this camera and am not too fussed whether some think the LX7 might have certain better features. There will always be other cameras and always be people who prefer other brands. I know enough people who can't go past Canon and wouldn't take kindly to my referring them to an ophthalmologist for tunnel vision.
The RX100 is a great camera. Full stop
Love the shot of your best friend.
Really shows off the vibrancy of the colours achieved with this little camera.

. . . . I know its not for me for a couple of reasons, but I'm kind of sorry about that because its an awfully compelling little package. -Ray
I'm curious to know what those "couple of reasons" are, Ray, given your extensive street experience. It looks like a good pocket camera to me. The stuff I have been seeing on the RX100 Flickr group looks good.
