Has anyone got one of these?

I've been thinking about one for a while due to the AF system and compact size, but I'm not sure how it performs indoors. Can anyone who has one share some thoughts on it and if it's worth the price?
 
I guess it's not worth it :D
 
It's one of a kind in many ways and the AF is great. It's worth the price tag IMO if you really need/use the AF performance it provides.

But I really disliked RX100 bodies in general. Find them fiddly at best and I didn't get along with them. It's very rare I can't get along with a body so for me it's not great ergonomically. Though I know many people on this forum love their RX100s.
 
Thanks for the replies, I've been mulling various options and the small size appealed as the bulk of a DLSR with lens just makes it too easy to leave on the shelf. But I'm interested in video again (been a long time but used to have a Canon XL3) so now looking at all sorts of cameras I've never previously considered!
 
I have the RX100 VI and find the AF superb, it will track everything i point it at with the 24-200 mm range useful outdoors.
Indoors it's ok, but due to the slower apertures of F4 at 100mm and F4.5 at 100+ mm and a 1 inch sensor it tends to use higher iso's above 3200 so can be noiser than I would like.
For indoors use a larger sensor camera would give better image quality as expected. Like most things in life it's a compromise between small sensor/ small body /slow aperture and larger body / sensor
