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! For those interested I put the link to the online manual because the one provided is a https://helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1210/v1/it/index.html

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.
