>>3278681 here.>>3278726>>3278738Just to clarify, most of the kind of shots I have in mind would probably be called snapshots by photography snobs. I don't mind a mediocre composition, but sometimes I just need to capture the moment quickly, hence why I want to have a camera out, on my person and "at the ready."
There are a lot of landscape shots that I'd like to capture on my way, but don't want to bother taking off my pack to unload a DSLR and/or tripod because if I did that for every photo, I wouldn't get to my intended destination on time. Perhaps I will look at the snapshots from some trip afterwards and decide to make a dedicated photography trip in the future to return to that site with a DSLR, tripod and patience to get a specific shot. That's not my intention at present, though.
As for wildlife, if I see a black bear, moose or other large animal, I'd like to have an opportunity to take a photo before the animal runs off. If I have to unload my backpack to retrieve a DSLR and 200mm lens, I'll miss those kinds of shots. For example, pic related isn't something that I'd necessarily want to print and put on my wall. The photo isn't particularly good either. But it IS something I am glad I got a snapshot of.
I do want to get better image quality than a cell phone or a point-and-shoot. I have a Canon S95, which I've taken on certain trips, but in spite of the PASM mode dial, the camera offers very little creative control and image quality doesn't look very good even at base ISO. I have a feeling that the Sony RX100 isn't going to be enough for what I want. I do have a DSLR which I would probably be taking alongside the MFT camera....like I said, I'm looking at a second body here, although many trips would probably involve just taking the MFT.
