The premium point and shoot camera category isn’t about expensive cameras, but also about specifications and features that set them apart from the competition.

Did you think only professional DSLRs offered full-frame sensors? Sony's bold experiment, the RX1 series now offers the RX1R II, which offers a whopping 42-megapixel resolution thanks to a full-frame sensor packed into the form-factor of a point and shoot camera. The only downside to this camera (besides the price) is the fact that it comes with a fixed 35mm f/2.0 Zeiss lens. A fixed lens may be very restrictive for some, but it is a great tool for the street photographer.
