Well, I'm in the market for a decent bridge camera. Im still not too keen on stepping up and getting a full dSLR as i know it will end up being a money pit with lenses etc.

I bought a Canon G11 ages ago and upgraded to a G16 at the end of 2013. Anyhoo, my G16 sadly took a swim one day when i fell in a river and never worked again. So my replacement that was also meant to be an upgrade was a Nikon Coolpix P610. I have been pretty disappointed with this so far and the superzoom part of it makes me feel thats its a one trick pony. The zoom is great but of course my poor research meant that the camera sensor size is actually smaller than the G16.
The Sony RX100 seems like a decent upgrade and is within my price range. I noticed that there is a dedicated thread for that camera on here. Is there anything else i should be looking at also?
 
Thanks for correcting me.

Actually the RX10mk3 does look like a very nice camera. It still has a decent built in zoom which i like on my current P610. Might have a look and see if there are any discounts online for one.
 
Thanks for the offer, but yeah, it will cost way to much to post securely to Oz.

So after finding that there are bugger all RX10 mk3s around i have started looking at the Panasonic FZ1000 which is significantly cheaper but has similar features (though missing the superzoom). 16x zoom is still pretty respectable. The FZ1000 is a few years old already, is there likely to be an update this camera in the next few months? I don't want to buy it to find that the new improved model comes out weeks later.
