I'm not terribly concerned about trading in the glass, as the only lens that is actually worth anything is that 18-200, and it was purchased used for ~$350 in December, so I could probably get that out of it somehow. The 50mm might be worth $85, and the other two combined could get $50 total if I tried really hard. Like I said, I really only use the 18-200 anyway; I should really sell the two kit lenses whether I switch or not as I never use them for anything ever.

My wife is selling one of her lenses.

Buy it, it's basically brand new and it's cheap.

Enjoying my Sony RX100 mkII
Sony polarizer adapter kit with a 49mm Tiffen circular polarizer. It's a grower not a shower.
Pretty happy with what this little camera is capable of

I played with an RX100 a year or so ago and I was very impressed with its, well, everything. Takes great pictures, has all the controls you need set up way more conveniently than I would have expected possible on such a small body, and was very handy to carry around. I do like my changable lenses and super convenient controls too much to give up my DSLR right now, but the RX100 is say more convenient for sure.

I was looking at the RX100, but im thinking about an a6000 for a casual/travel camera.
Basically a D3300/D5500/D7200 in the palm of my hand.
I just wish the a6000 was in-body stabilization.
my current camera is as big as my cat:

I would recommend the RX-100 as well. I bought a mirrorless for the same reason as you, I ended up taking pictures with my 20mp phone camera as the mirrorless was still bulky for the casual trip here and there.

I'm done with dslr's, and I'm confident I won't be going back. I enjoy taking and editing photos more than worrying about changing / carry lenses for a day of shooting. Vacationing, hiking, or just being out and about, I can always have the camera on me ready to go which has made photography more enjoyable, so that's always a good thing. I'm just a hobbyist, your mileage may vary.
Anyways, the "power" pocket cameras keep improving, and I'm thinking my next camera might be something like the Panasonic LX100. A bit more muscle, with just a bit more bulk.
