Good thing about the m4/3 maths is that it's actually half of full frame when it comes to focal lengths, so 25mm is the nifty fifty
That's why I like the 30mm pancake lens on my Samsung Nx1100 so much

I don't know, researching the lens mount was next on my list.

Before I bought my X20 I also looked at an X100s, it is a lovely camera, surprisingly chunky, I wasn't convinced in the end that a fixed 35mm would suit and also I'm not sure my photography capabilities could justify a £900 camera.
Reminds me of the old 43mm pancake lenses that were offered with some 35mm cameras back in the day.That's why I like the 30mm pancake lens on my Samsung Nx1100 so much
I was going to buy the rx100 but I knew I would start hankering after the m2 so I bought that instead. But like you say, excellent camera and I always shoot wide open because ethen lens quickly drops off the aperture when zooming in.
I also bought a couple of Nikon's, a d5300 which is OK and a d7100 which is fantastic. Along with a few lenses, a 50mm 1.8, a 18-35 1.8 to join my 35mm 1.I and 18-200.
I also had a more or less camera but I didn't get on well with it. Focus too slow, battery not good, still too big to put in pocket, low light images are rubbish, no optical viewfinder. That's why I bought the Sony rx 100 m2, its everything I want that a more or less should have been.
I didn't know but expected sooner or later a new model would be out. Its my backup camera so I don't want or need the very latest (unless I am purchase point).You do know the rx100 m3 is out with better glass, processor and an awesome pop up view finder. I picked one up last week for the wife's birthday, she wanted something that she could adjust manually on the fly, take pictures almost as good as her D4 and connect wirelessly to her ipad/iphone. Reviews seem to tag the rx100 m3 as one of the best point and shoot available and from she's said this week it sounds like it is.

That d4 must be awesome.
The camera is only as good as the user...
