Many of us felt this coming instead of any firmware updates to the RX10:

It's already very overshadowed by its 4k brother the ax10, but if you compare it to the RX10, 200 bucks more gets you more video goodness. I'd think that by launch the RX10 would see at least some price drop
It certainly ticks a lot of missing checkboxes from the RX10. higher bitrate, more NDs, movable viewfinder, better zooming. the only downside MAY be the variable f stop. If it holds the 2.8 for more than half the range, i'd call it an improvement, but many times these zooms drop from max aperture very quickly.
