good for you not buying in to the need to upgrade with all the new cameras over the years haha

If you need a more recent Sony RX100 camera, I would suggest a -5a(35mm-equiv 24-70mm) or a -7(35mm-equiv 24-200mm). I have worn out a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 and a Canon Powershot S100. I would also get the rubber grip for the rigth side for $15US.

Thanks for the advice :)

I mainly need a camera for travel to take photos of my toddler. Mainly at Disney 🎉 I prefer this form factor but what do you recommend? I think photo stabilization and auto-focus is most important feature. No real price cap.

I actually love this camera too for getting it in to parks and sporting events, people don't question it! Any newer cameras are going to have better AF than this so just do your research but if price isn't any issue I like the idea of the fuji x100 V if they drop in price

I love this line of cameras so much I have 2, first bought for my motorcycle trip, they just work great, only downside is battery not great must have 3 or 4 for full day ✌

haha yessss the battery life is so bad! I want them to update this line ASAP lol

I've had an RX100iii and gave it to a friend. It missed some close-up shots, as a travel photographer, so I got an RX100vii and am finally fully satisfied. I keep it in my bag with a few extra batteries, because it does such a better job than my phone. My best shots get printed up 20x30 on average, so it matters what I'm getting, file-focus-resolution wise. I also have Leica and the Sony a1 for business (real-estate and art insurance) but they're huge and heavy in comparison.

sounds like you have some unreal tools for photography! I'd love the Vii but this does the trick for now :)

I have the M6 and you crop with the zoom lens. As this is my third RX I agree with the fragility point. The newer ones are phase detect AF. My main beef with Fuji is only one (23mm?) lens so that was out for traveling (& the inflated cost). Enjoyed your review.

Thanks for the comment man, jealous you have the m6 haha - yeah I like the zoom on this camera for sure

I just bought the M3 as my secondary camera. I'm using a full frame equipment normally on my foto trips but have started cycling and wanted to have a lightweight all-in-one solution. I find the 24 to 70 mm range is sufficient for many situations and the image quality is fine. The camera has a decent evf, and is easy to use. It does of course not provide the "mechanical" haptic feel of my Nikon D750 with its huge optical viewfinder, but it does allow you to manual focus quite well and it offers just enough haptic manual control.

Congrats on your purchase :) It's a fun one!

You can manually hold the flash upwards and use it as a bounce flash, I did this several times with mine :) There is a mod where you can remove the 4k video time limit and also you can use a powerbank connected to the usb port of the camera and it will work while charging :) I use mine to shoot several hours timelapses. It's a really great little camera!

Save your money and just get the older versions of the x100 line. I owned the x100 original when it first came out. I stopped upgrading after the x100T. It was great enough for the travel photography I do and still happy with it. The latest version adds superfluous features that I don’t use.

@MattyDCCollins

3 ай бұрын

Yeah that's a good call, unfortunately they are still selling for $800 USD for the x100T

As someone who has a Fuji and a Sony RX100, the Sony is good but not if you're using it above 800 ISO when file quality falls below what I would call acceptable. It also barely has any bokeh. In a well lit scene, the Sony is good and it has the advantage that I don't feel that I'm likely to be robbed for it. I wouldn't use it for landscapes as it doesn't have the subtlety of a Fuji. The colours are much better on the Fuji. The crop factor on a one inch sensor is x2.7 so f/1.8 is actually f/4.86 at the widest. On balance, a modern iPhone in RAW is as good as the Sony as long as you're not cropping..

zoomed in to 200 and get close background more out of focus than at 23 f2, also autofocus is way better in RX and truly a pocketable camera, with todays noise reduction software noise not so much an issue

Can I ask do any of your Fuji cameras include a similar lens and fit into your jeans pocket? Genuine respectful question. Thanks

I got one of these small Sony cams, regrettably just to move the focus point requires several menu engagements to complete what should be a simple task. How can it be this hard? What am I missing?
