Toughts on this camera?
Found one for around 400$. Not sure if i should spend more to get Vi or Vii for the better zoom.
Also what differences are between V and VA models?
I would buy one to carry around everyday , videos in vacantion. How is the video quality?
Also what other cameras should i look for? Any Canon's worthy with same specs ...etc?

This is the last rx100. The vi and vii are shitty boomerzoom cameras with slower lenses so anyone that isn’t retarded should ignore them. I still don’t understand what manner of bathtub sake the Sony engineers were pickling their brains with when they decided to ruin the lineup, when the super zoom rx10 already exists.

It's for retards who see people praising the rx100 and would get it but are having second thoughts because, being retarded, they think more zoom = more better and 3x just ain't gonna cut it. You may have noticed that the VA is still being sold new.

I'm looking to get one of these but VA+ is way too expensive, and I keep getting outbid on the V

Is the IV or even III worth it for say around the 300-400$ mark? Or are they just dust collector pieces that arn't practical anymore?

I own a Iv, I love the little thing and the images are nice. But if I had to be honest, if you’re just posting to Instagram or whatever the quality won’t be too different looking than any modern phone. But some of the video modes are cool, and it is better in low light than phones still I would say.

Damn, I'm intending to use it for close ups of product photos for my job and then while I have it, use it for cosplay photography.

The RX100 seemed like a great way to keep things light when I travel, but I suppose I should start looking at the mirror less cams then

nta, but it seems like a minor iteration. They are basically the same camera, I would just get whichever is cheapest. None of the changes are going to have a gigantic impact on the function. The files are going to look the same.

Typically Sony will release "A" versions of their cameras with minor tweaks some time after the initial release. I would assume that's what this is.

Hmm. We visited friends across the ocean and had the opportunity to travel through cities. I had an RX100VA with me, a friend had a current iPhone. In low light, my photos were only better overall when I could take my time to take pictures, i.e. with a tripod or a series of pictures for averaging. Especially with quick shots, shooting freehand or in rain, the ease of use of cell phones make compact cameras appear less than ideal.

The big upgrade with the V over the IV is the phase detect AF, other than that you get 24fps instead of 16fps If you're going to be shooting quickly moving subjects then it could be worth it. That said I have the IV and even with just 25 contrast detect points it's still decently quick and will track objects.

>>4297213
Go for the RX100. It's one of the few decent cameras that are actually literally pocketable without wearing a trenchcoat. To get the same versatility on a mirrorless body you're going to be looking at about double the weight just for the lens, probably the same for the body, and like 4 or 5 times the thickness. You may even need to go with multiple lenses, or extension tubes with a standard zoom. I think this photo may have been taken using an old Canon close up filter (magfilter attachment) but it doesn't make a huge difference, the RX100 will focus pretty close on its own.

Depends on whether you like phone stacking smears more than ISO noise. It's a matter of taste.

Normies view everything as wallet sized photos now so the smears are invisible but ISO noise is not. Yes, things do look waxy and cartoonish, but all zoomers have body image issues so they actually want that especially on skin.

Can you get a shallow depth of field? Sure. Not a shallow as a larger sensored camera of course but shallower than with a phone, unless you want to fake it.

Try turning the big dial on top until the green "AUTO" lines up with the white line next to the dial.

That example doesn't say much, even phones can get a decently shallow dof at that distance.

But not as shallow, arguably not "decently shallow". That's just physics, phones don't have sensors as large and lenses as fast. Would this same photo taken on a phone also have the paw and background out of focus? Probably, but not to the same extent. Just like how an even larger sensored camera would have an even shallower depth of field.

I don't think shallow DoF is something you should be seriously considering with any of these, at 1.8 or 70mm at f2.8 there's not much, some but not much
