Tom Dempsey recently changed his advice about primary cameras for "light travel".

I saw the images in this website, as well as those in Ken Rockwell's review, and I agree 100% that this is perhaps the best choice for getting eye-popping images in a reasonably light and portable package. IMHO, those images are good enough for 90% of enthusiast photographers, unless their primary interests are night photography, action sports, or extreme long distance wildlife. I also feel that it could be an option for less demanding professional applications such as local real estate publications, cruise ship photos, or low budget outdoor weddings. The only fly in the ointment is that it's build quality and potential durability is not worthy of its $1600.00 asking price. Were this model to be used as a primary camera for a serious hobbyist or professional, in all likelihood, Sony would be swamped by warranty claims.

I'll be taking another workshop from him, this fall, when he gets back from his summer excursions. I'll be interested to see how the camera holds up for "light travel".

Hope you are delighted with your results. Just remember to bring along a backup camera in case it craps out

Now realize I wrote that incorrectly. I don't own an RX10_, but have had several conversations with Tom about his past and current choices for "light travel" ~ (my own current Sony's are an a6000 + a new RX100III for the pocket). I intend to attend another local workshop, taught by Dempsey, when he returns from his August trip to Switzerland. I'll be asking him about the durability of his RX10 III, at that time.
His wife (and travel companion) is now carrying a Panny ZS100, and he probably has an old first generation RX100 in his pocket, when not packing one of the larger cameras. I'm guessing he'll leave his new a6300 + lenses at home, dunno. (one camera with one permanently attached zoom lens does seem like a good concept for his type of "light travel")
