Sony RX100 20.2 MP Premium Compact Digital Camera w/ 1-inch sensor, 28-100mm ZEISS zoom lens, 3” LCD

I won't overcook the review, because of the many comprehensive and excellent reviews already posted. Just a couple of hints to use this incredible little camera. 1. Get a grip! This little puppy has a small gripping surface on the right, and may suddenly squirt out of your hand. Richard Franiec has a grip for sale on Amazon. It's metal and looks very well designed. Costly, though at about $40.00. I got a silicone grip on eBay for $21.00 it works great. It uses 3M stickon like the stuff that holds your auto badges on. I think a grip is a must. Amazon also sells a "flipbac grip" for about $10.00, and this appears almost identical to the one I ordered, but less costly. Should work fine. For those of you like me, who shoot mostly at aperture priority, here's a couple of things to save you time when setting up your camera especially for low light work without flash. 2. With the aperture priority setting, the rings, front and back, work the same and control aperture (when set to aperature). As you adjust the aperture, the speed follows to maintain the EV (exposure value). You can use either ring to adjust aperture; I prefer the rear one. At the bottom right of the LCD, aperture and speed are displayed. After you set your aperture for desired depth of field and/or light conditions, note the speed. If it is less than 1/8th sec, you'll need to up the iso. The camera's anti vibration system will give you a couple of stops, but, of course, won't stop artifacts from subject motion. Now how to set the function button to complete the scenario; Here's how mine is set. In the setup menu, under number 2 of the gear icon find the function setting. You have 7 functions to program optionally. I used 3. Set number 1 for iso, number 2 for white balance and number 3 for HDR to control shadows. When you press function the choices are displayed at the bottom of the LCD and selected by the rocker. Changes within each function are controlled by front or rear rings. Ready to take a picture: Set your aperture for desired depth of field using ring or wheel. a. Check aperture and speed at bottom right of LCD, If the speed is too low for a clear shot, press function and select ISO at the bottom of the LCD with the rocker. Increase ISO with the ring or rocker wheel till you get adequate speed for your aperture setting. With a large sensor at work, there is very little degradation below iso 1600. Once you press the function button, the front or rear wheels now control function button settings that are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. So rock to the desired function and ring to adjust within that function. b. Then select the white balance icon. If the screen does not look realistic, you can set it to one of the many temperature options. If none work out, use "custom". Then press the lower rocker to get the custom white balance grid and adjust accordingly with the rocker button. It's nice that the screen changes to reflect how adjustments will effect the shot. c. Last, if you want to exaggerate (or minimize) either contrast or shadows, select HDR and you'll get the HDR screen to allow more or less averaging of subject/background illumination. Very helpful for brightly lit subjects with dark backgrounds or vise verse. The camera will take 3 rapid shots, so be steady. Works well without a tripod, though if you set your ISO up enough. There are lots of other functions to select for your 7 slots such as picture effects, size, orientation, aspect ratio, exposure and flash compensation. If you use a function regularly, set it up and it'll be available at the bottom of the LCD when you press the function button. That's it. I found I could take pretty good low light shots with just these settings on aperture priority, getting depth of field and low light control within the understandable limitations of a camera having the RX100's focal length. It also has shutter priority, 3 memory programmable scenarios, and a fun to use panorama function as well. If depth of field is not an issue for outside shots, just use one of the auto settings. They work great, and the pictures have excellent depth and vibrancy in natural light.

This is the first time (and last time) I relied solely upon reviews in Amazon to make a decision to buy a camera. I was in a hurry with a vacation coming up and saw all of the rave reviews, making claims such as how the camera took better photos than their Nikon D7000. I decided to buy it. My first comment is that I took it on a trip and kept it in my jeans pocket just like I have always done with pocket cameras. In the past pocket cameras have spent countless hours in my jeans pocket with no adverse consequence. Within 4 days with the RX100 I looked at the viewing screen on the camera and there was a scratch across the screen. My next complaint is the video. I have for comparison a much less expensive Nikon pocket camera that I bought about 3 years ago. From experience taking videos I know that you have to pan slowly if you want the audience to comfortably view a video. I found that with the RX100 if you panned, even at a slow pace, horizontal streaks would appear in the recorded video upon playback, which greatly detracted from the video. I also noticed that the camera was slow processing shots and would take much longer than my older Nikon pocket camera, causing me to miss shots. As far as the size of the camera, I think Sony overdid it making it too small. It felt uncomfortably small in my hands, and I just didn't like the feel of the camera. The camera has a feature which somehow transforms a shot that you intended to be in landscape mode into a portrait shot of one person in the photo. It would then produce for the final photo not the shot that you intended but instead a portrait shot of the one person. I even put it on Landscape mode to force the camera to take landscape photos and it still extracted portrait shots of the person in the photo, leaving out the rest of the shot. Another thing was that it was promoted how the screen had some special qualities which made it easy to view what you are photographing when out in sunlight. That proved not to be the case. I found it nearly impossible to see anything on the screen when I was outside in bright sunlight. Lastly, regarding the quality of the photos, it does not even approach the quality of a Nikon D7000, which I happen to own. From what I could see it was no better than the aforementioned Nikon pocket camera that cost half as much years ago. I tried to return the camera and first, since it was fulfilled through Amazon but used a third party seller, I was informed that there was a 15% restocking fee and that is payable even if the camera and all paperwork and packing materials are in perfect condition. Since my screen had a scratch I was told that there would be a 30% restocking fee. Then another person in customer service told me that it was damaged, all the way through to the LCD, and that they couldn't take it back. I looked this up and found that the seller was exaggerating the situation in that the actual LCD screen is protected by a plastic cover that can be replaced if you buy a new back for the camera. Also, some brief searching online revealed that the plastic cover for the screen for the RX100 is extremely easy to scratch, and that you should buy a protective film at the same time you buy the camera. At any rate, I ended up giving the camera to my daughter because I couldn't return it. It would be an understatement to say that I was very disappointed with this camera. To sum up, I received poor value for my money. Sony should cease production of this camera because it will hurt their reputation.

La cámara llegó en perfecto estado. En cuantoa la cámaraestoy muy satisfecho. Tiene pracyicamente todos los controles de una reflex en modo manual. En semiautomatico hace una exposición muy buena, para cuando uno necesita fotos rápidas o no quiere uno estar moviendo los controles. El flash es muy bueno y esta excelente que se pueda doblar para luz de rebote. La calidad de las fotos es excelente, el desenfoque que se logra gracias a su apertura 1.8 me fascinó para ina camara de este tipo. La uso con mi Samsung galaxy para transferirle las fotos via cable mini usb en el cel. y compartirlas en tiempo real (con o sin edicion). La verdad es que salen tan bien, que solo en ocasiones las mejoro, casi nunca para corregir exposición. Muy satisfecho por su tamaño portable. En definitiva una cámara muy potente y prácticapara llevar y hacer fotos y conpartirlas vía cel. Inmediatamente o para hacer trabajos mas serios de edición en la computadora.

A pesar de que los celulares tienen ya muy buena tecnología, esta belleza sigue sacando unas fotos de noche espectaculares.

Seems to be legit - best price I could find in Canada. I was debating going between this and the RX-100II but this model is a) cheaper b) less clunky (as the RX-100II has attachments and I don't plan on bringing anything else with me) c) Weighs less. You should note that the RX-100II DOES has a better sensor for low light conditions but this really is an amazing camera for it's size. The manual focus is pretty damn good and coming from a guy that loves his DSLR... This is now my new travel camera. If you're looking for a camera case that isn't 99.99 or wondering what will fit well the Case Logic DCB-302Black Compact Camera Case is a nice snug fit (plus you can store an SD card, wire and USB stick in there too).

En su oferta comercial, la fotografía corresponde a una cámara Sony con 4K, y la cámara que entregan no es de estas especificación. La versión recibida es un producto de calidad, pero sí deben tener cuidado en lo que están comprando.

takes great pics
