Ok I visited the Sony store. The NEX6 & 7 were very nice indeed), the sales man was working hard trying to push me towards the 7. However the difference between them and a D7000 is not compelling enough to push me in that direction...... yet. I feel in the future this may be where I end up.

What was stunning was the RX100.

It's tiny, a fraction of the size of the Fuji X100, about the size of a pack of cards, with the same size sensor roughly as the Nikon V1/2. A quick play in the store at ISO 3200 and zooming in on the back of the camera showed a bit of noise but usable.

I kept holding it up to my eye though - it would take a while to get used to no view finder.

I think one of these might find it's way into my Christmas bag, it's the perfect camera to take out when you don't want to take a camera.

Wouldn't replace my DSLRs but very nice to have, maybe more so than the Fuji.
