They have to, if they're going to keep the resolution at 20MP and price it at $6,499 ...
CHG: You've just nudged a question this rookie has had since first reading about the Canon 1D X Mk III.
It befuddles me as to why a 20 meg sensor is perfectly adequate for a $6500 flagship "full frame" DSLR, while the likes of Sony, and its competitors seem to need 30MP, 50MP, and even more to satisfy the professional/enthusiast market.
I believe there's a reasonable and rational answer, it's just not clearly understandable to this neophyte (me).

I, too, am fascinated by these old English villages. And thank you for your reply to Eleanor ~ very informative and adds so much to the picture.

Thank for doing this research, Greg.

That's a good-looking belt pouch, Bill. Where did you find it?

Well, I agree, a shirt pocket can be a risky place to carry a camera. I have a couple shirts with “relaxed” pockets with buttoned pocket flaps, so at least that works. Otherwise I carried the camera in my jacket pocket. Then I read that despite having the two-bladed lens cover that closes when the camera shuts off, that dust and lint can still get into the lens and in between the lens barrel and the housing. So I got a belt carried pouch for the camera. At least that was my solution.
Ya know, I've had a few thoughts about the potential of pocket lint inside the camera. Maybe I'd better learn to carry it on my belt. That's the one (or, maybe one of?) Achilles' heel on this camera style.
THANK YOU

The RX100xx series will snugly fit into a shirt pocket. Otherwise, I have a nice leather belt carrying pouch for it.
Hi Greg,
I've had a camera depart from my shirt pocket into a creek (it survived), so I'm a bit reluctant to carry one there unless it's buttoned in securely. However, I do like to be able to stuff a camera into the front pocket of my trousers, including jeans...especially in warmer weather. The RX100III will fit a fairly "relaxed jeans" pocket, but getting it out of that pocket in a hurry is not quite as easy as the 'goesinta'.
Once a camera choice is too large for a pant pocket, it opens all sorts of options (depending upon the size of the pocket, of course) ~ even to the possibility of a Sony a6xxx with a small lens mounted, an old Canon G10, the LX100, etc.

While Sony's RX100 is a great camera (though some complain about the menu system), Panasonic's DMC-ZS100 is much less expensive. For greater zoom range and still less expensive is the DC-ZS200. For low light but less zoom there is the DMC-LX10.
Yabut, how am I to stuff one of those lovely Lumix cameras in the front pocket of m'Levi's?

It's about definition here! If you don't consider the Sony RX100 or the Pana ZS100 as bridge cameras then how do you define bridge cameras? And how do you define Point and Shoot?
Maybe the best question asked, so far. "...how do you define Point and Shoot?"
But this time, at least, the OP actually gave us an example of what (s)he considers a "point & shoot". That seldom happens in these threads.

Yeah, I did a lot of reading and research. The RX100M7 was brand new, so there wasn’t a lot of information out there at the time, so a lot of my decision was based on the RX100M6, as they are basically the same camera. I have absolutely no regrets buying the RX100M7. My (almost ancient) A6300 now sits mostly unused, along with its three lenses.
Yes, I would suppose that would be true of most photographers. The only functional digital camera I have sitting mostly unused is a Canon G10. Situation in point: Last Sunday I was in another town with no plan to photograph anything. My EDC was in my "murse", as usual. Received an unexpected invitation to a niece's basketball game in a high school gym. I missed many shots with the RX100III, that the a6000 would have captured (with the right lens). Had I known of the change of plans, the a6000, or even the X-E2 would have been with me.

Most of the time, my (now ancient) a6000 has a prime lens mounted. I've never purchased a 24-70mm (equiv) lens for it, as I can just use the RX100III for that purpose. I use that little camera more than any of my others.
I'm so very glad to hear you like your new camera, Greg; as I know you really did your homework before purchasing it.

Even a DSLR in full auto mode can be used as a point & shoot.
Yup!

I like to refer to cameras such as the Panasonic Lumix ZSxxx series or the Sony RX100xx series as compact cameras rather than point and shoot cameras because these cameras are small, but packed with many of the features of bigger cameras. They are more sophisticated than a classic “point and shoot” camera.
I very much agree, Greg. "Point and shoot" has become a rather meaningless term. After all, even a cell phone camera can be used as a "point and shoot".

What would you say is Fuji's closest equivalent to the Sony a6000?
Thanks!
Thanks!
My two primary cameras for "the street", and for recording gatherings, are the Sony a6000 and the Fujifilm X-E2 ~ and, I'd say they could be considered as competitive "equivalents".
