Hmm... For landscape shots, I've always loved using a panorama mode which I think the RX100 has as well. I'm guessing most mirrorless have it too. I find this mode it kills the battery though. Night shots on the NEX 5N using auto settings are phenomenal. I occasionally point it at darkness and take a snapshot and see what it picks up. Surprises me a lot. I'm sure the later NEX models are even better.
I'm not sure about landscapes, but I always found the pancake lens was great for people pics and event photos. But getting other people to take photos... their mind is blown about a lens which doesn't zoom. Confuses them that they can move themselves to get a better angle/not cut someone off in a group pic. I mainly use the 18-55mm lens which came with the camera. IIRC, most people are pretty happy with the outcomes using this lens.
I prefer Sony because I find they're the easiest to hand to a stranger to take a photo of you and/or a significant other/group pic and get a decent picture(pretty user friendly) and you still have manual options too when the time comes. They just feel good to me weight/balance wise and grip wise too.
I believe I price matched at London Drugs and they even matched a promotion from futureshop + gave a discount on accessories like filters and stuff. Not sure if you would be able to do that. Most of the camera guys at London Drugs know their stuff too and are happy to tell you their personal experience with the cameras. Futureshop... they read you the spec sheet and say Nikon/Canon is better because Dad has one.
