Pros: Size,quality,price.

Cons: Menu,lack of crosshairs

Opinion: Simply fantastic, it's small but with a more than good quality. I love it for its size,finally a small camera that does not weigh you too much for when you are out and about on vacation. It fits perfectly inside my little shoulder bag. I always refused to go around with a kilo of material around my neck and this was the right solution without sacrificing quality. The menu is always Sony's, a bit messed up, but you get used to it. Too bad for the lack of a crosshairs,I would have given a 10. A good product, with great price quality. The advice for all those who do not want to carry a heavy camera but do not want to give up making good photos (also does them in RAW)

Pros: Very handy, I only took a few photos in iauto mode and with fine resolution and it seems to me that sensor and optics are quite good, reasonable price (300th new). That little photographic technique that I possess comes from the use of a Bronica etrs (4.5/6) in cockpit on which I loved to compose the image!!! The lcd viewfinder seems acceptable to me. I can go back to taking pictures by holding the car in a thousand different positions! And not just attached to the eye anymore!!!

Cons: Optical a bit rough as construction.

Opinion: I did not have much time to use it I could check the use with Nikon and m42 adapter rings. You can use it quite well Exposes correctly without any problems With any goal: I tried with various Nikons including a wonderful 50mm 1.4 of the 70s, various helios And also a sigma 70 200 x Nikon dx I can not understand instead the rendering of the zoom in kit I use the original SW Sony to manage the Raw But obviously I will have to learn starting fromThe ABC because I get bad results Yet with the NEFs of my Nikon D200 I can combine something decent. By the way my PC with Windows 10 is a sloth. On Ubuntu I do not find SW specific For the moment I will shoot in RAW-JPG format

Pros: Size, sensor, practicality. Quality/price.

Cons: Lack of function keys. Zoom lens 16/50.Sensor cleanup.

Opinion: I had a great approach with Sony's sensors with the compact RX 100 and the mirrorless of the Xianoyi the YI M1. The mirrorless has a great grip, although it does give you the impression that the zoom (poor 16/50) provided unbalances everything forward. Full and nice menu that seems to me a hybrid between the sony rx100 and the Panasonic Gx80 and all in all I find it very practical. They could insert the wheel that selects the shooting mode that is missing (even if it can be integrated with the trash button). I equipped myself (considered the zoom 16/50 which is not to my liking as quality in my opinion) with medium fixed canvas (35mm 2.8 Samyang exceptional) a wide angle (the 16 2.8 Sony great) a fisheye (7.5 7artisans great) and a canvas for portraits (7artisans 55mm great) and adapters to use my Nikon/Samyang /Olympus /Yashica lenses due to high optical prices. Bought from Mediaworld for 349 euros for me it was a bargain. For sensor cleaning lacks the function so I have to be careful of the lens change (fast and in non-dusty places).

Pros: Size, file quality, fully tiltable screen

Cons: Battery life, screen difficult to read in full sun

Opinion: Purchased in 2018 as a second superlight body at a particularly affordable price. Clever little toy. With the kit lens has a footprint comparable to a smartphone, but offers shots of excellent quality, unthinkable with a compact. I was able to easily adapt Canon FD Vintage optics of a great class, recovering an excellent photographic outfit that belonged to my father. JPEG's are very good quality and if you do not want to develop the raw allow you to get a finished product already satisfactory. It is not possible to install flash or external microphones, but being for me a second superlight body is not a real limit. The batteries last a little, but they are extremely compact, so taking them behind someone is not a problem. On the face of real flaws, instead, I would list the screen almost unreadable in full sun and the fact that, if used for movies, "Capti" the Zoom noise (but I think it depends on the kit lens rather than the machine). Menu a little confusing.

Pros: Lightness, size, excellent construction

Cons: Kit lens right by kit but for snaps and go okay

Opinion: Despite having Nikon SLR cameras I wanted to raise the monkey and I bought this machine, I put it on, over the kit lens pretty sad, a nice Zeiss touit 32 and the Sony 30 Macro. In The future I think I equip it with other fixed quality also vintage. Now I go to portraits and macros, I will let you know the impressions, for now General Jn are good. Greetings
