All taken with my new Sony RX100. Spent time with it on purpose to see how I missed the DSLR (which I used in Rome). I do miss the ultra wide angles with the 10-22 on the DSLR but was pleasantly surprised with the results for this tiny camera and was wonderful not having to walk around with a bag and lenses with my at all times. Also meant I could just drop a small joby tripod in my wife's bag (even thought some of the good night shots above were handheld!).

Not sure to be honest. I found the mk3 on offer (£50 off) and it was a replacement for my wife's DSLR that she wasn't using so I could justify it. I think the main differences are:

Better light at the zoom end, f/2.8 vs f/4.9 in the MK1 (but the MK3 sacrificed a bit of range, 70mm vs. 100mm in the MK1).
It's a different sensor and processor.
Electronic viewfinder in the MK3 which is good in bright conditions, although I never found that I couldn't see the LCD is bright light either. I just like to shoot more with the EVF.
Same for in inbuild ND filter, good for using wider apertures (more bokeh) in bright light but I can't say I ever selected it, it's on auto.
LCD folds up 180 degrees so you can shoot selfies, handy for video blogging too.

Bear in mind much of the 'magic' in these photos happened in Lightroom in post :)
