No mention if lens has OIS? Also, what about manual video controls?

Looks like the 16:9 mode is setup nicely for 3x3 pixel binning for 1080p, if my calculations are correct.

F1.8 at 30mm will be useful. Hope same OIS steady shot as Hx9v.

DPreview specifications are quite strange.
Are 1080p24 wrapped into 60i?

1920 x 1080 (60, 24 fps), 1440 x 1080 (30 fps), 1280 x 720 (30 fps), 640 x 480 (30 fps)
1920 x1080 60p PS: 59.97fps Progressive (appx 28Mbps), 1920 x 1080 60i FX : 59.97fps Interlaced (appx 24Mbps), 1920 x 1080 60i FH : 59.97fps Interlaced (appx 17Mbps), 1440 x 1080 30p :29.97fps Progressive (appx 12Mbps), 640 x 480 30p :29.97fps Progressive (appx 3 Mbps)

Seems to me a great little thing. A bit pricey compared to exchangeable systems like the Nikon 1. But very tiny indeed. If it has manual setting for video, that would be nice. I doubt it. Could be, though, because NEX-5N is same price range and has manual settings. Sensor is 20MP. What does this mean for video processing?

It is also very expensive compared to Panasonic small offerings. Even GX1 can be got for similar sum.

Nothing bad :-)

I wonder if the HDMI out is live

@kavadni

I suggest to look where HDMI connector is located, you'll be surprised :-)

dpreview has confirmed there is no 1080p24. Here is some more info.

"The RX100 allows P,A,S or M exposure modes to be used when video shooting. Autofocus remains available in movie shooting, regardless of the exposure mode used. Alternatively the camera's focus peaking can be used to aid manual focus (which can be assigned to the front dial). This, combined with the camera's active image stabilization during movie shooting, makes it a pretty capable and pocketable camera for grabbing footage."

Looks very tempting, once the price gets discounted (hopefully not a case of Sigma sd1 pricing)...For travel, I have been bringing along the hx-9v (for run and gun video) with my grd4. I was rather disappointed with the ooc jpegs from the GHx.
