angie I saw the comparisions and that thread...but its just purely illogical to say that you need costly mirrorless against RX100 ....tell me a simple thing ..RX100 have just 28-115mm range , if you need to do birding what will you do ...RX100 will simply become useless . even a cheap EPL3 can take zooms made for mirrorless cams and do birding. RX100 can definitely do maco but its not pro macro but just a P&S level macro. A simple sony Nex3 can take macro lens and produce much sharper image.
I dont think its fair to compare both. RX100 is just best P&S , thats all.

Again A5000+kit ....if you are ok with investing in photography for macro, zoom lens then that combo is better. but with default kit you will be able to do just family shots..and landscapes...it wont produce much blurring nor macro magnification nor birding
