sony rx100...my impressions

[back alley]

You certainly have an eye for composition, Joe. And it helps to have a camera that you feel comfortable with. I'll have to look into this one as an alternative/bridge to what I would like to get.

thanks...it's a great spare camera.

Joe, this is my favorite of the ones you've posted. It really is an amazing image in that the alternating sunlight & shadow didn't just blow that little cpu's mind trying to get the focus & exposure right. It is a marvel when I look at that image & think about it's complexity of exposure balance & focus point for auto focus... not to mention white balance. Now the red, RED berry image is a whole-nother story.

thanks mike.
when i first saw this image i thought it was fuzzy and i thought the little rx had met it's match...but except for choosing the aperture the camera did it all.

This is another one that could have been a disaster but it nailed the exposure & focus here too. It did a nice job on the composition also, dang, Sony is something else.

I'm glad this camera is a winner. I just bought two! (Matching his and hers). Will be selling my Panasonic G1, GF1, and Sony 5N. It will be just the RX100 and my film cameras now.

Aaarrrgh! I've been trying to resist buying this camera but I'm not sure I can anymore. This post is making it really hard!

I can just about taste those.

Really have been enjoying mine. Wondering why I bother with other digitals...maybe I'll just use this and a couple of film cameras....

 

[back alley]

nice colours eh?

i feel the same way...though it feels silly to walk around with this tiny thing when my buds are shooting these long lenses on behemoths next to me.

 

[mynikonf2]

WOW! I will have to get one of these & and some tomatoes too.

Really this what I'm doing now. The RX100 is in the same small bag as my M6 with 28/35 lenses. I sold my DLux 5 and X100 is in a local ads on sale now. The OMD + the fine M43 primes will be used for fast moving events and some serious shoots. It's in my dry cabinet and has not seen action for some time. Cheers!

Btw, I still have the GRD4 mainly used for in-camera B&W.

Oh dear Joe, yoo've done it again. Having seen yours and others shots here, I went an ordered the Sony. Ive got the Fuji X10 and its given me some very good shots but I don't like it as much as my X100 or GRD IV so I'm gonna sell it. Also ordered the Franiec grip. Had one on my Canon G7 and it made a vast difference. Hopefully the camera will be here in the next few days and I'll get chance to shoot it at the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday.

it's a fun camera paul and now that you will be having one the bar will be raised considerably...

I'm still in testing stages but so far the camera is doing well. I won't do anything serious until Adobe releases the update.

I find the interface interesting and very adaptable. I do prefer the simplicity of the GRD4 but I got this to be a sidekick to the Ricoh, not replace it....

The landscape for compact cameras has changed.
