Toni, with a RX100 or the others you can't do 50mm f1.2. Nor 85mm f1.2. Nor even 35mm f1.8. So, that is your answer. Cameras with lens mounts and separate lenses are not meant as a single lens camera. You can make it be a 24-240mm camera when you want that one day, and a 85mm f1.2 portrait special the next day.

And with 240mm f6.3 on FF, you do get shallow DOF (240 / 6.3 = 38mm aperture after all).

It is just that, "a convenient super zoom lens". I have never been a superzoom lens customer (never looked at any of the 18-200mm APS-C lenses or any FF equivalent), but I realize that other people might have a want for one.

Looks not bad for a superzoom, to be frank.

Comparing it to the Nikkor 28-300mm:
