• I don't think raw image quality for photos shot in ideal conditions has changed that much in the past few years for how most people display their photos. I half suspect that any camera that's >10Mp will do for showing on a monitor/ the internets.

    I bought an ageing Lumix LX5 a few days ago (released seven years ago), and I don't have any issues with image quality compared to a two year old iPhone 6S+

    What you want to buy a dedicated camera for is manual control over the camera (over and above what VSCO etc can do for smartphones), differing focal lengths and better low light performance.

  • differing focal lengths

    RX100 wins

    and better low light performance

    But does it?

  • If done purely on sensor size, then the RX100 should be better than a smartphone. The RX100 is 1" ? The iPhone 7 1/3" ?

    The RX100 also has f1.8 at the widest compared to the iPhone's f2.2
