I guess Sony is trying to save money (well I don't blame them) - the RX100 does not come with a printed manual.
you get a link to this:

well yes, but those are generally lower-priced and not-as-serious things.... right? It's just surprising that for such a complicated device as this there is no manual in the box

Besides, one can argue that it's "greener " going paperless.

yea, alot of devices are starting to not come with them.
with smart phones and tablets and PCs you can just download the PDF of the manual and look at it there.
less crap to carry, saves companies on shipping and packaging material and saves trees and fuel.

with all the advancements being made in photo industry, I'm annoyed that nobody is making a 15-135 or something around there, that works with FF. It can be f/4.0 on the wide end. 
basically a UWA zoom. it could even be 15-70 or 15-50. it doesn't have to be that big a range.
the 17-40 is close but that 40mm is just not enough many times. and 17 is not wide enough many times.

I'm not convinced - I think technology can overcome optical physics.

what's so funny? Olympus does make a 12-50 lens, for 4/3. the companies are being lazy, they need to make lenses like that that will work with APS-C and FF.

Nikkor 1200-1700mm: The Mother of All Super Telephoto Nikon Lenses. Weighing in at 36 pounds and measuring nearly 3 feet in length, the manual focus lens was introduced in 1993 and had a hefty price tag of $60,000.

Though that is a drawback, this is very nice. You always have a lens on the camera, that if you need to take a picture, you just move the lever.

I was thinking something about patents - you know how Apple sued Samsung for that stuff - I wonder how Canon feels about companies blatantly ripping off their S-series focus ring? 
That seems like a much more tangible and arguable design function, I mean compared with the kind of things Apple is suing for. Apple = blood thirsty monopolistic carnivores

oh you're saying Sony may have got the rights to use the ring from Canon? for some reason I highly doubt that.
