Pros: Size, Coupled sensor lens excellent, excellent video even if I use it purely for photos, raw file workable considering the size of the sensor.

Cons: The battery that does not last long and the lack of the viewfinder but they are characteristics of the camera

Opinion: For me a really successful camera and even if it was born purely dedicated to video I find it perfect for photos as well. The size is its strong point together with a quality of sensor / lens and processor that allows you to obtain excellent results. Very good autofocus. Before this one I had a rx100 II that compared to this one had a better build quality and a focal range that reached up to 100 (against the 75 of the zv). I take it everywhere and it allows me to do many more things than my smartphone... fits in the pocket of his jeans. It only lacks the viewfinder (which would sometimes be useful) but for that there is the rx100 IV or an Rx100 VII (to get to 200mm)

Pros: Speed in every sense of the word! AF! Compactness! Very versatile! Built-in ND filter.

Cons: Battery life... But on the market you can find a few coins...

Opinion: I've had them for about a year. Always with me in my pocket! Less expensive than its big sister of the RX series with the same technology incorporated. Then take advantage of LOG in video. Who wants to try to get into the video department is great opportunity at a low price. I miss the focal length of the lens a bit. 200mm would be great. But you can't have everything with this price. AF Algorithms Very useful! With a button then change type/on eye/foreground/portrait with blurred background. I have fun

Pros: Small, pocket-sized, fast, practical. Bright, great file quality (except HFR video). Battery always the same as other Sony. Flash sled, tiltable screen to taste.

Cons: Small battery. Un practiced grip. The flash's missing. Bad High Frame Rate videos. Awkward menu like all sony. Price.

Opinion: Great car, really. I chosen it after I had an RX100-2, because I can use it for videos. Both are in the pocket of the jacket but also of trousers, ideal to always have with you. Very very good file quality, although I don't see any big changes in these years between the two. This, however, with a bright lens, works better even with little light. Great 4K 25p or 100p (100Mbps) regular frame rate videos. It can resume in HD up to 1000fps although for a few seconds (about 3 then the buffer is filled), but the quality is poor, seriously insufficient. Posable monitor, finally. The tilting ones were useless for vertical shots. I don't find them flawed. Built-in ND filter, to blur in videos. The battery is the same as all the other little Sony, so cheap and easily located, I used the previous ones. It needs fast cards. It doesn't have flash, but you can add exteriors. It doesn't have a ring around the lens like the RX100, which was still very uncomfortable and very long. The zoom comes out every time it turns on and off, not suitable for Bressons who want to seize the moment. The only flaws may be the somewhat sacrificed ergonomics of grip and keys that are too small, but the size makes up for it. The quality of HFR videos, the terrible menu like all Sony, has abbreviations that look like MS-DOS; really bad UX, ten years of iphone didn't teach anything? High price, in 2021 it is located on 700 euros or a little less, however better than the 1200 of the latest similar RX100.
