Pros: Dimensions considering transportability. Adequate focal lengths covered and maximum aperture. Image quality and focus. A big help the viewfinder for those who can not do without it. If you do not get lost with the electric zoom (setting the function manually) and avoid the excessive recall of the photo vision, it has a decent autonomy, easy to increase with pocket spare batteries.

Cons: Dimensions when the object is used by coats measuring from 8 and up. The viewfinder itself easily goes out of focus by bringing the eye closer.

Opinion: Image quality and portability make it a frequent companion for all occasions: normal outings, excursions and trips, especially by motorcycle. The weight and space it takes up with two additional batteries is negligible compared to what it offers. Of course if I program images that will surely be printed enlarged, I will leave it in the drawer, and I will opt for FF with higher resolution. The small size leads you to shoot more, because stopping and shooting is simple and does not require "pulling out the bag, removing the cap, checking that you have not left any increase in exposure etc." It is a spirit of particular photography that is unpretentious but that satisfies, despite the not exaggerated size of the sensor. For these occasions it has no rival, SLR or mirrorless.

Pros: Size (ça va sans dire), design, general construction, many functions that do not regret those of a mid-level SLR.

Cons: Delicate flash pop-up mechanism, although very useful and efficient. For the rest, a compact with all the characteristics of a minimal machine with great potential. It is a good challenge for those who are used to more complex systems (nb. not complicated ...). It can be very irritating or very "restful", depending on the user.

Opinion: I took this machine to have a little demanding and even less bulky contraption, for better quality fotine than those of my mobile phone. I was not wrong, very funny and if necessary I screw the Manfrotto tripod and go self-timer. The flash defends itself well, even in "rear" mode for moderate macros; it's just a little delicate (a bit much). Care must be taken when pushing it into its housing after use. The machine fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, a glove. Having a mobile phone not very performing and now antiquo I installed an old version of the application necessary for transferring photos via Wi-Fi. A bit cumbersome (to be honest not even so much, there is worse ..), but it works. With newer mobile phones and apps, the user experience will certainly be better. The removable viewfinder is very small, but it could not be otherwise. I also like to use it in manual, with some care and with a little patience. The risk of blur is perpetually lurking. The automatisms work properly. Someone says that this machine is slow ... mah, it may be, but it is not that one buys it to freeze the take-off of a duck at the first light of dawn or the peach of the Martin ....

Pros: You know... It is very small and the optics are good. Then the viewfinder, however small, is a gift in certain contexts.

Cons: It often overexposes... Often but not always, which is worse. Quite inefficient white balance.

Opinion: It is small and allows you to take beautiful photos. The batteries are tiny, you can have 3 or 4 behind them without problems. The sensor is good up to maximum 1600 iso. Valid optics, the wide aperture as well as being a boon for the iso allows you to have a little blur. The problems of this machine are the inefficiency in exhibiting, it often burns the lights to have excessively clear shadows, only it does not always do it. In addition, the WB is wrong in case of artificial light.

Pros: Compact, wifi, mobile screen, good Raw performance (compared to other 1" devices)

Cons: Feeling fragility viewfinder, to be well used requires the addition of a rubber "cheek" that favors the grip, slow AF in the street

Opinion: Bought second-hand, it replaced the RX100 Mk1 in my motorcycle bag mainly for four reasons: portability, viewfinder (awkward but functional), mobile screen and wifi. Sometimes I regret the greater focal length of the mark1, but in most cases the equivalent 24-70 is enough for me. The AF is a little slow, especially when used in moving street, but it does its job. The results are more than good for a 1" sensor and the Raw are well workable. The aperture of the lens allows you to photograph in low light without having to force the ISO too much (over 1600 the quality of the images drops ... as it is logical). The built-in Nd filter is convenient as well as the small flash. Autonomy is sufficient. The RX100 M3 is a good compromise between cost and results, of course, the latest releases have many more features, but they cost a bang! I found it with charger and rubber cheek under 400E.

Pros: Size, intuitive and complete menu, light opening, 24-70,great jpeg quality, 20mgpx

Cons: viewfinder too small

Opinion: I took this used machine because I needed practicality, small size and jpg shots to transfer on the fly on the phone in wifi and then on pc. I am very very satisfied with the purchase. I generally use canon 6d and 7dmk2 in raw for more busy photos, but this manages to replace a reflex as a travel chamber. Jpeg files are great (even at 20mgpx)turning off the noise filter are very similar to raw, the grain from 800 iso is excellent and fine even in jpeg. Excellent also the management of automatic iso with 1/3 of switches so you do not automatically switch from 800 1600 3200 etc as in previous versions. The menu is easy and professional and you have total control of the machine, just the viewfinder is a little too small to have a clear view. Excellent light optics, at night 1.8 and 2.8 makes the difference by setting 1/15 with the excellent stabilizer. The 24-70 is equivalent to a all-rounder lens of a reflex ff. Congratulations to Sony

Pros: Compactness, image quality, brightness

Cons: Focal excursion, crosshairs mechanism, 4K lack.

Opinion: I come from an RX100 Mk 1 that I used for 5 years and held the Mk 3 only a year to switch to the Mk 6. It satisfied me but not fully. The image quality is good but the focal hike is too limited for my taste. I appreciated the brightness of the lens, especially at 24mm, while the viewfinder mechanism is uncomfortable and you end up not using it. Autofocus is on mk 1 levels, good but much lower than subsequent series. Very small improvement in ISO noise.

Pros: Very small, image quality above expectations, consistency of materials, video

Cons: Poor ergonomics, little "pleasantness" of use.

Opinion: That is, guys is a machine that you buy for its extreme compactness. This results in extreme ergonomics and very little enjoyment of use. In short, if one is passionate about photography he does not find much satisfaction in using it. There is everything but just everything, even at hand, but every time it's all a search for keyches and levettines... I started from the "ugly" things but the "beautiful" are many. Taken for the trek and there is none for anyone... with a few grams I have in my pocket a 24-70 of HIGH quality. REALLY ABOVE, with very workable RAW, great colors. I use it as a priority of diaphragms (A) if I need to use exposure compensation but it almost never serves; with the display that makes me exactly the image of the sensor I adjust with the focus/exposure and press the button in half, so much of a field professor there is as much as you want. Then there are many devils to set up, the zummetti very bright a lot of customizations, but in short the things you need to set are three... If I were to shoot in JPG I think I would use the preset scenes. Recap and concluding: machine recommended for those who need to move light; who needs to "bring home" the shot, the memory. If you are looking for beauty, passion, contact with the equipment better the 5DII (canon I have)... For over-recommended trek!

Pros: Compact, bright, optical quality, silent, stabilized well

Cons: Slow, little sense, little battery, in M mode too difficult

Opinion: Taken to replace the reflex (only in quiet and improvised turns) of pro has few things due to technology (obviously that in 2015 could not hurt it) so the quality is great, the lenses amche and the filter nd is really a genius... But I regret having taken it as it is very slow compared to a reflex, the optical quality does not even seem zeiss the battery lasts really little (I have an a99 and it seems to last twice) but the cge thing I do not like at all and that I think will force me to sell it is the M mode , where to adjust iso, f and speed, it really takes too long and often gets messed up... It is made to be used a lot in automatic but already several times I have taken photos of landscapes identical to the mobile phone. Let's just say I didn't get the spark with this camera.

Pros: Beautiful, sharp and bright optics, AF (precise), pocket, EVF, workable RAW (in good light), stabilization (tested up to 0.4" freehand), integrated ND filter

Cons: Ergonomics, General Slowness, AF-C not for extreme situations, slow burst, ISO 3200 usability limit

Opinion: A beautiful machine aesthetically, the best in my opinion as Q/P among many of the RX100 series. Ergonomically it's not the best, but it's forgiven when you put it in your jacket pocket. However, with a few euro hand grip, the situation definitely improves. In good light conditions, the results are like an APS-C (the difference is there but it is not so abysmal). In the evening with the rise of the ISO things change but the stabilization is exceptional (I managed to shoot at 0.4" freehand with breath and all the precautions of the case). The AF is accurate even if in AF-C suffers if there are errant subjects from one side of the frame to the other. However I was surprised because it is still usable. At this point I connect to the gust question that is decidedly slow. The EVF will not be very large.... But there's... and I find it useful when I want to concentrate or in unfavorable sun. Another thing, it's a "slow" machine. I don't know how to explain.... you don't have to go in a hurry and it's definitely not very suitable for "action" photos (doing the proportion with my GR2 you can say GR2:Ferrari-RX100mk3:Panda). What to say, if you get the chance take it because it has its :). Ps. I find myself great with the menu in spite of so many negative opinions on the sony menu.

Pros: Size and weight, good image quality for a compact, fun to use.

Cons: Delicate, not really cheap.

Opinion: Tried for reasons of clutter/portability and I must say that you are comfortable, it seems to use a miniature reflex. It has it all: retractable electronic sight, flash, tilting monitor, raw snaps and has the ability to customize some buttons. Few problems with the Sony menu, it stores quite quickly and anyway you have the Fn button (quick menu) that brings back to the main functions of shooting, af, iso, type exposure, filter nd etc... . Very nice Scene Mode (if you don't feel like shooting in A, S or M) and in general the colors are not bad. It is a compact, not aps-c or FF, useless image quality comparisons. The body looks sturdy but the attached accessories not much: monitors, sights and flashes when extracted if they take shots are at risk of breaking, useful at least rigid case and screen protection film. Among all the versions, better in my opinion choose the iii for the brightest lens and value for "good" price (400 and broken euros are not few but can go, more than 1000 euros for the mark vii is impossible!). Just for the price Sony could include in the package some extra that would be comfortable (example the grip).

Pros: Small, portability, lens zeiss, diaphragm opening, everything!

Cons: nothing relevant!

Opinion: It is a compact and must be evaluated as such! as compact it is exceptional, fast, responsive never misses a photo, then with the zeiss 24-70 f1.8-f2.8 the light never lacks... For me living in a forest where light is a rare commodity this rx100m3 is a godsend! I read everything on the menu of this sony , I do not find it so complex in 15 minutes you juggle nice, of course to get to know it well it takes a time because it is very complete but around you can move with a certain sufficiency , it's still a premium compact! The quality of the materials is high although it is the idea of being very fragile. The retractable scope is a cool design and behaves very well in practice, the software provided is not bad then if one wants to download Capture one express for Sony and solves everything. It costs but it's a premium compact and given the eta is located at reasonable prices, worth every penny. I'm in love with this little gem.

Pros: Small and transportable at the top, yummy photo quality, top menu. Sight with very adjustable diotrie, good flash,

Cons: first impact too small (then you think again) menu that serves experience in photos otherwise it is too complicated to entry level. Lacks touch.

Opinion: Taken so impulse to try one with this type of sensor, So far I had only Canon aps-c (60d-80d-e last m6) with which I feel great, I was curious to try a compact and reading reviews I soono thrown inthis sony (I followed the canon g7x). Immediately at first impact just opened the package I was almost repentant, the menu and the size of the machine put me a little anxious to have the wrong the aquisto, but I started to try a few things to the point of opening the files in the pc ...... from there I started to fall in love and learn to move this tiny contraption that works wonders. He bakes beautiful photos by day and also at night freehand, now I'm making friends (it's a few days that I use) but every time I learn a little thing he can do, If these are the first satisfactions I will probably take as well the m6 or m7 so complete zoom. This to a super brightness and it is practically pocketable, useless to put between the cons that you struggle to hold it in your hand because you know what you buy (but it does not defisco a slaughterhouse because it is small indeed it is its boast), Its strong is little clutter and good photos , videos I don't know why I almost never use them. I'll update later if I have any other impressions. First update: Travel to Innsbruck and Bressanone with zero footprint and very but very nice files, both with preset settings and manual, there you do things that are exceptional when you have made friends with the keys el and various settings that I now find also easily editable during the shot. A VERAFIGATE have something like this in your pocket. In practice, shots are very few wrong. I'm really in love right now.

Pros: Manageability, spectacular photos, even in the dark or almost, precious electronic viewfinder

Cons: At the moment nothing alarming, menu a bit ' complicated, but then you find

Opinion: Taken after another Sony, the hx60 that apart from a long enough zoom, I would not allow shooting in dark environments, and without viewfinder, taken the Nikon A900, with really exceptional zooms, and nothing more, now with this I photographed in dark environments, or almost, the 24/70 x me is more than Enough, I preferred the almost wide-angle at the expense of excessive zooms that then if you have no tripod you see the blur, on the RX100M3, this does not happen even in the dark. It churn out photos with an excellent color, and really useful the electronic viewfinder, that when the sun beats on the display, this viewfinder is really useful, and me, even if I have glasses, does not give absolutely disturbance, rather perfect. I wanted to say in this regard that some claim that enters the shirt pocket/jeans... be given the weight and thickness I seem exaggerated claims, and not possible. I bring it to the neck inside a case that I had taken x the first compact, it is perfect and the 230 grams of weight do not feel. One thing, removing the SDHC card, and putting it inside the D7500, this does not allow me to edit the photo, it will be because the 7500 the photos the DSC nomination, while the RX100 the nomination in other way?... mah if someone knows how to remedy, write it to me Thank you

Pros: Compactness, detail richness, dynamic range, fast in MAF and good ISO resistance, retractable flash, electronic viewfinder.

Cons: Low battery, no battery charge.

Opinion: I wanted a camera to always carry with me and I found it, put it in my pocket and away. The baked files are great, well-defined and rich in information. They are not those of the FF reflexes but there is no abysmal distance. Technology of all respect, Sony does not joke. Up to 3000 big noise more than acceptable. Excellent optical brightness, all-in-one construction. It's a shame the lack of touch-screen even if I do not miss it. Low battery, easily overcome problem with one spare. Price not quite compact, taking into account what it offers. Great shopping I highly recommend.

Pros: Compactness, colors, RAW shooting, adjustable flash power.

Cons: Battery life; Touch-screen absence with its touch to focus; I do not use the reflex !!!

Opinion: I've bought this compact to have a camera at your fingertips that can shoot in RAW out of pretty decent photos. What do you mean? In my humble opinion, it was a great buy. A car that fits safely into the jacket pocket and when you want to capture something, you pull it out and take home shots with no regrets for the reflex. Obviously, the reflex is always the reflex, but the sony RX100 is more than good. What else counts in photography is the picture in itself, not the detail to be noticed by croaking 100%. Then it depends on what you are pretending; It's normal that I do not use it to go photographic hunting! RnOther colors and good range of ISO usage: Up to 1600 the noise is still contained, at 3200 is quite obvious but enjoyable. You can use it to make a street photo even on a free hand evening. RnI like the flash, which you can give it up, checking its power. RnDue, however, only things I do not like: 1) Absence dTouch screen with its touch to focus; 2) battery life (200/230 shots), but it is a problem solvable or buying an extra battery (which is up to fifteen euro) or carrying a power bank if charging with a USB cable For the rest I can not talk about it well. I read negative reviews where it is said that the latest generation cell phones are superior to this compact; I think people who have written such reviews have no knowledge of cameras and it is better to continue selfie with "tablets." For those who want a good compact that gives you great shots, I would definitely recommend the Sony RX100 mark 3.

Pros: compact quality, richness of detail and incredible dynamic range

Cons: too small and slippery lack charger.

Opinion: Sony surprises us more and more and a concentration of technology to all and more in a body so small, the lack of a grip feels but is as an option as well as the battery charger is not supplied as well as extras, for the rest nothing to say files beautiful strong body well made, a council try it before you buy it.

Pros: Image quality, speed and high resistance ISO.

Cons: I can not find!

Opinion: I wanted a camera to take with me since the Refex sometimes cluttered, and with Sony Rx 100 III I HAVE THE QUALITY? ALWAYS WITH ME! RNLA fully recommend to those who are looking for a compact optical quality! truly a gem! Toto is truly exceptional by definition as a Refex! The musuriro Optical is a great thing in situations of intense light and poor!

Pros: Definition and color reproduction at high iso amazing, easy to use and comfortable in all situations

Cons: Maybe that will stop the shutter to 1/2000 compared with the next model 1/32000 ... big difference but in fact I think there is nothing against

Opinion: I bought this camera just when and exited the quarter model and waited to come down to prezzo.non I can talk about the last model which as I understand, is sensational for the video even if this is not to meno.per As for the photos quality and more or less the same and this is why I chose this model that I can assure churns file incredible contrastati.io very beautiful and I have a D800 and being accustomed to its huge files have become demanding and this I can say that Sony has not lived up to my expectations ... his lens is a little short, but remember that the real professionals give up so much to get more brightness and then you have to remember that it is a compact but with muscles. Good light tt

Pros: Pocket ideal for photo quality even in full auto and printed 60x50. It 'amazing in difficult lighting conditions, very difficult.

Cons: The tilt display increases the thickness and gives the idea, perhaps just an impression, that the car would be more robust if there was that thing from Selfie. But there is someone who spends 700 euro to put the camera on top of a stick?

Opinion: I'm not a photographer. Most of the technical care what the documentary, and maybe the beauty of a shot happened by chance. So I need a little something that you can always carry around and use very mode + car, always ready, providing images without obvious defects and, at most, you can touch up in post. Often shooting in Romanesque churches, very dark, and here the sony gives the best of himself. I never use the flash. The photo is always clearer vision with the naked eye and the details are sharp. Can emerge some mistake in focus using the zoom, but rarely, far less than the mod.I. It happens when you switch to manual.
