[QUOTE="NVSteve, post: 146415, member: 13248"] I had the NEX-5n for about 7 months before I sold it. I actually really liked the size and handling, and it was still small enough to stuff into a pocket. My problem was with the lenses, which simply bite the big one. I'm not talking about the primes, but the zooms, which really make a travel camera work IMO. I never took it with me backpacking because I prefer bringing along a DSLR. A lot of the places I visit have potential $$ involved if I get a good shot, which means I want the best equipment along. I haven't been backpacking with the D600 yet, but I have had many long hikes with it and it is essentially perfect for me, although I would really like a lot more weather sealed capability. I picked up one of these about a month ago to replace an 8 year old Canon P&S and it does seem pretty good. I haven't used it yet, but the pictures that she's taken with it have all looked pretty good so far. Better than any other P&S I have ever seen, but no match for a D600 obviously. I'd say the Sony NEX with the 16mp sensor has a bit more noticeable & malleable DR, but the RX100 seems to be far sharper (better lens than the NEX). [/QUOTE]
