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.

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: 1) Tiny 2) photos always come well (never goes wrong) 3) materials and build quality 4) video compartment with numerous combinations of sizes and quality 5) battery with good autonomy 6) HDR and filter ND excellent 7) Fn key very practical

Cons: 1) makes photos from compact 2) full instruction booklet not immediately available (found after unspeakable searches) 3) few adjustments to customize the b&n 4) depth of field 5) definition, 6) editing software supplied, 7) price

Opinion: The premise: I am passionate non-professional but I still consider myself an artist in many fields. I express a personal opinion both here and in the list of pros and cons. I come from a Fujifilm XF1 (and I have a fully functioning Pentax K50). Unfortunately, I don't like this Sony: the project philosophy behind it is the opposite of what I was looking for. In my opinion the machine never goes wrong because it gives few possibilities for adjustment, so it gives "always perfect" but "impersonal" shots, in the sense that the machine, despite having many "empty boxes" available for personal styles, does not allow the user create your own "stylistic signature"; every "perfect photo" is only thanks to Sony and to me so also the desire to go out. I prefer to miss 70 shots out of 100 but go home with 30 good photos of which 3 memorable and all absolutely "mine", rather than going home with 100 "perfect" shots out of 100, of which not one I feel like "mine". PHOTOS: Pregi has some, although I take them for granted: it is built well and with good materials, although the almost smooth black painted aluminum design does not like it. The adjustable screen helps in certain shots and is built very well (I use it however with very cautious delicacy). The menu, as everyone says, is complicated but if you learn to set the menu in the 12-pane grid of the Fn key, life simplifies a lot. The aspect of the menu that has puzzled me the most are the apps: there are several as a gift, however, if you use an app, you exit completely from the "machine system" and, if you want to go back to using normal functions, you have to exit the app. There are 3 types of black and white: normal (adjustable), high contrast, rich shades. On the first you can only adjust contrast and sharpness, on the second nothing, on the third you can adjust something but since it only works with automatic multi-timer (type HDR) at the end it is as if you do not decide anything. It's not for me. The color is better because, although you can only adjust contrast, sharpness and saturation, in the end you give yourself many preset customizations. Excellent HDR and ND filter. It seems to me that the definition is significantly reduced by moving away from the wide-angle and increasing the iso, especially after 1600 - 2000, and that it is really difficult to get depth of field and bokeh effect. Editing software supplied (very few jpeg features) not comparable - for completeness and simplicity of use - to the Silkypix that I had supplied with Pentax and Fujifilm. The starting price indicated by Sony would have been unattainable for me; today this machine is located at half price in various sites (being out of production for several years) but in my opinion the price is still excessive, as only camera, bearable taking into account the video sector. VIDEO: The video sector is very good. The XAVCS 50p 50 modes with LCPM audio (unsampled linear - very good) and AVCHD 50p 28M give videos of a remarkable image compactness and quality and in general the video is operated by almost all positions of the dial (with the pre-set quality starting from the video location, it allows you to film in PSAM. Not all cameras and cameras allow these freedoms. Ultimately, In my opinion, he makes compact photos and video from cinema. It's a good car but I don't like it because it's hard for me to take art photos, not being able to adjust and customize the machine the way I want. I see with confidence that others have managed to get much nicer photos than mine ... we hope they can be obtained without pp software because I almost never use them. These are my personal impressions. Update: I finally sold it.

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.
