I bought this in the year 2014. This camera takes very good landscape but the portrait focusing is rather slow. Another issue was the flash breakdown twice. Replacement each time for the flash cost USD 100. Build quality is good and still a beautiful camera.
Love this tiny wonder. Little eastern egg on this camera. If you push the power botón at the same time you hiding the EVF the camera will remain on. Found this by causality
Hi M-Galaxy! Thanks for the review. I use a cheap Smartphone but iam still impressed by the dynamic range when u use the hdr mode. Anyway, iam not happy with the image quality. Iam hiking alot and iam shooting many "right moment" pictures, so i need a small camera. The Sony RX is not as comfortable as a smartphone but still small. At 02:38 you compare the JPED with the RAW and het a good dynamic range with the raw. But when you compare the Iphone 12 at 03:56 you did not edit anything in RAW right? Its just out of the Camera?! My question is now: Is it possible to get a good result, like from the IPhone 12 at 03:56 concerning the dynamic range, if you edit the RAW from the RX100 III? I would be happy if you answer. Thank u
Hi is it natural that I flip the screen into where I can see my face, and took a photo, the photo results are Inverted? Is there any chances to change it on camera settings?
I bought my RX100M3 in December 2016 and still love it. I shoot RAW and convert with DxO with its great noise reduction, so I use as high an ISO as I need to get the shot with no worries about noise. I keep it in the center console of my car so It's easily available when I want a better camera than my phone. My Canon DSLR kit stays home unless it's for a specific photo shoot.
Hi. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for the RX100 7, can we send you one to you to play with?
Hey! Would you happen to know why my mark iii won't connect to internet or to my phone? It just say "no internet connection" in an orange text in the wifi settings on my phone.
Thanks for this honest review, also for the considerations made with respect to the iphone: these are questions that I asked myself too, but it almost seems that if you ask yourself them you don't understand anything about photography... :)
Ya, same. I'm looking at the mark iii in 2023... they still go for around 300 dollars. The iphone's dynamic range is pretty crazy. And I asked myself after this review: "so I'm buying the ability to optically zoom?" haha. But ya, when it comes down to it there's SO much more to a good shot than dynamic range. Still, this would just be my "keep in my car" camera. I'm still debating if my phone is worthy of that job. I think not... but $300 dollars is a decent chunk of change for me.
Its a nice camera! I’ve got mine and the downside of it is the lens is not that wide and i have to find a microphone (for my vlogs) to to attach it to the camera.
To be fair, 24mm equivalent is ultra-wide angle - but if you need something insanely wide-angle, it is actually a pretty easy and cheap ($50) fix for the rx100. Get a filter adapter (a stick on one if you are feeling cheap, or a magfilter if you are willing to pay a bit more to avoid semi-permanent thickness to the lens) and find a vintage threaded screw in wide angle ("tube") adapter. There are new tube adapters but they are from weird generic "offbrands" and the quality is pretty poor compared to vintage ones from more reputable manufacturers. Olympus made quite a few wide angle (as well as telephoto adapter) tube adapters for the 52mm thread size - and there are a lot of threaded filter adapters for the rx100 at 52mm.
Can you transfer VDO files to iPhone or iOS via Lightning OTG? I tested with both Mass Storage and MTP modes, neither worked. Thumbdrives worked fine with this OTG. My Android phones and Windows 10 tablet also had no problem transferring the VDO files using USB type C and Mini USB OTG.
@@kerryman9589 The mk3 has been very handy to me, the size is perfect for someone who uses it specifically for cycling photograph. However I do find the battery does not hold up well
You tested the microphone next to a loud highway with car noise. That's not really a clever thing to do. Apart from that you did a nice test. Thanks for that :)
Using of camera instead of phone was never only about picture quality, today phones have better pictures than compacts with 1/2.3" sensors, but controls and all other things are just much better on real camera, also, it's much faster to start taking pictures with camera than with phone where app have to start and you have to unlock it (you can run camera from lock screen on some phones, but that's still to slow and complicated). Also, phone failed me many times when I needed take picture of something, app can crash or camera is not responding and you have to restart phone then and that takes like one minutes. This can happen even with camera (it happened to me with times with my Panasonic G7), but restart camera takes max 2 seconds and you are ready to shoot again. So for me, camera always wins, even with worse picture quality, it never fails you and you are not slave of battery in your phone, we are forced to use phones for many other things, you have public transportation passes or train tickets in phones now, so you need to save your battery for more important things than taking pictures. Also, I am used to using finder, I don't even have feeling that I am taking pictures when I use only display, it's just weird for me. But I am very disapointed from evolution of profi-cameras, there is no evolution at all, all today models are like 4 years old and if you get get it somewhere (it's mostly sold out), it's for terrible prices, why is that? Why??? Nobody wants small camera with bigger sensor? It doesn't make any sense, cameras with 1/2.3" were supposed to die, but it's still in shops and what you need is not there. BTW, phones have good pictures mostly only in commercials, look on facebook on real picture from people, most of them look like from some 2003 compact camera, but pictures in sunny day are ofcourse good. And optical stabilisation which really works is really not standard, people mostly don't have iPhone 12, they have mostly some android for around 200 eur.
Thanks for the review, now I can skip buying this (though I have always loved it’s look) for I have a iPhone that shoots better, and spend my money on a older fujifilm camera.
Phones use AI. It's all fake. The Sony will piss all over the iPhone. Smartphone sensors are tiny and that is the issue with them. Phone produce muddy images and have no use for printing.
