I can barely find differences between WX300 and WX350. It seems like same lens/sensor, with an upgraded processor in the WX350. I can't find much about how they compare to the RX100 in practical terms.

I previously had the WX300, and upgraded it to the RX100. The RX100 does have a 1' sensor. The performance and picture quality of the RX100 is better than the WX300. I thought the WX300 was a fantastic P&S camera for the time I had it. The WX350 is essentially the WX300 with minor upgrades.

A few of things to consider: - The RX100 is still an expensive for a P&S. And the RX100 doesn't get nearly the reach of the WX300 (20x vs. 3.6x). The flash on the RX100 has better funtionality than the WX300. You can tilt the flash on the RX100 for more natural looking photos via bounce flash (that was one important criteria for which I upgraded). Good luck to you, and happy shooting.

The main difference is that the RX100 has the much larger 1" sensor compared to the 1/2.3" sensor on the other two. The RX100 because it has the larger sensor, has a more limited optical zoom to 100 mm compared to the 500 mm on the WX3xx models. Couldn't seem much difference between the WX models. The 350 seems to use higher ISO, and is a bit lighter. Must be more to it than that, as they seem like the same basic model as far as sensor and glass.

I would suggest the RX100 is going to give you a higher image quality, and lower light quality. The sensor is bigger so it will have a higher useful ISO, and the glass is faster at F1.8 compared to F3.5. And the WX of course has a much longer zoom. Basically it comes down to high quality images of scenery and close objects vs lower quality but higher zoom and higher light conditions.

The resolution is almost the same, but that is deceiving. The pixel size will be much smaller on the small sensor. Besides poorer in low light, it will also have more sensor diffraction with smaller F stops, causing softer images. But still all considered if you are wanting to take closeups of birds in bright light, the WX model is going to work much better due to the long optical zoom. Depends on what you want to do...

i think warren hit the nail on the head.....i dont own an RX100, however, i am very familiar with it. i just picked up the wx350 and am quite amazed at what it can do. even with the sony 'clear zoom' in bright light, the pics come out better than expected. not up to my sony nex6, however, not far behind.

I have and love both cameras. I wanted something to compliment the RX100 that was small, had a good zoom and took excellent video. The WX350 was the answer. There is no other camera even close to the size of the WX350, that I am aware of, that takes 1080p/60 fps video and has 20X zoom. I like the fact that I can take good pictures and excellent video without having to lug around a camcorder. The 60fps video is super smooth and a pleasure to watch. The WX350 is not in the same league with the RX100 when it comes to picture quality. I always pick the RX100 when I want to get the very best photo. However, the WX350 is no slouch and takes surprisingly good pictures. I find myself picking the WX350 over the RX100 when I go to the park or zoo with my daughter since it is so small and versatile.

I've noticed the RX100 is almost as good as the NEX 16MP series. Not as good, but close. If the WX350 is still in the "good enough" camp, that's impressive. The RX100 is pocketable but big and heavy enough you don't exactly forget it's there. The WX350 seems easier to pocket and as you said, I'd rather have it with me than the RX100 at home.
