Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 review: The definitive bridge camera?

The RX10 adopts the same principle but implements a smaller 1-inch type 20-Mpix BSI CMOS sensor with a stabilized 8.8-73.3mm zoom, equivalent to 24-200mm f2.8 constant aperture Zeiss branded zoom.The lens features a direct–drive sonic type AF motor and has an optional 1/3rd click stopped or de-clicked aperture collar, while the body is a melding of the firm’s Alpha models with shooting mode and

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 looks at first glance a bit like a high-end superzoom with its 24-200mm equivalent F2.8 lens. That's a fairly modest range by modern standards, but then the camera's 1" sensor is very large compared to conventional superzooms. Sony has put a lot of effort into the camera's video capabilities and tools, making it more than just a stills shooter, but are the sum of these parts enough to make the whole worth $1300?
