I'm guessing the sensor is the same and the only upgrade will be the digic 6 processor which will be of no help because you'll shot in raw.Yeah but it will have WiFi and facebook and GPS and other gizmos that people crave - who cares about the lens? I mean seriously?

I returned my SX50 because my hands were too big, I'm curious about the replacement. I'd like to see touch screen, wifi and GPS. Touch screen and GPS might even convince me to try again once the initial price drops. I think I can operate a touch screen with my big fingers better than the tiny controls.
The RX200 will have an improved 28-140mm f/1.4-2.2 lens (compared to the current 29-105mm f/1.8-4.9)
Quote from: Sony RumorsThe RX200 will have an improved 28-140mm f/1.4-2.2 lens (compared to the current 29-105mm f/1.8-4.9)If true, 140mm f/2.2 means a substantially bigger lens assembly, meaning the RX-200 would lose the current form factor - one big reason for its popularity. I'm very tempted by the RX-100, but if the successor won't fit in a jeans pocket like the current model, no interest from me.
