The Sony RX100 Mark 1 Review

My thoughts on using the budget friendly Sony RX100 Mark 1 from 2012 in 2023 for your photography. If you're looking for the short answer: leave your phone at home and pick up this camera for your photography instead.

    i bought the rx100 vii as a pocket camera last year and it constantly surprises me with how good it is. it was funny seeing this video title, because i've referred to it several times to friends as a modern digital contax type camera. when i was looking for a pocket camera, all of the fuji options were tempting, but the rx100 was the only series to offer everything i wanted: viewfinder, flash, pocket sized and a zoom lens. it takes so much of the guesswork out of casual photography for me, and i frequently take some of my favorite images ever on it. i have multiple blown up poster sized images from this camera hanging around my house. such a gem! great video

    I'm deep into the Nikon cameras going back to 1969, but I was lucky enough to get the Sony RX100 Mark 1 back in 2012, and the Mark 6 in 2018. What gems. I've been dreaming of a Mark 8, but it looks like the rumors have fizzled out. I use the Mark 6 for backpacking and travel and everyday walk-around. Still I learned a few new tricks from your video. Thanks very much. Well done. I'm a subscriber and instagram follower now. :) Oh, you forgot to mention that the Mark 7, Mark 6, Mark 5A are all still available new at B&H and other places. Even the Mark 3 is listed there as "available but temporarily out of stock." Great commitment Sony!

    I also love my original RX100. It is very capable for the age and size of the camera, and I also find that since it can be charged via USB it is a great no-nonsense travel companion. Mine got a little ‘dust bunny’ on the sensor. I very carefully took it apart, cleaned the sensor, and viola! It is as good as new! I love it. I do wish that it had wifi connectivity to transfer photos wireless to my iPhone. But hey, you can’t have everything! Thanks for the great video.

Sadly i need to let it go for funds, but i replaced it with a Pentax K200D this March. It's not top of the line like the RX100, but i am loving it because of the CCD sensor.

    Bought mine new around the time the MKII came out and the price of the original went down to a more reasonable level. It is a great little camera and the thing I like the most besides the image quality is that it is possible to disable all status icons in the "viewfinder" display, leaving only important shooting information at the bottom. The result is very reminiscent to how a DSLR viewfinder works and it's great for framing the shot as the viewfinder is unobstructed.

    I just got the M3 a few days ago and I still haven't got the chance to go out and do like a full on walk with it, but so far it's just super fun to use! comfortable on the hand and also compact to carry in your pockets. It's overall a perfect camera because the image quality and ease of use is good enough to start in photography but also it's robust enough for a more experience user to really make some awesome shots. I personally would recommend the M3 over the previous ones because of the tilt screen and the pop up flash that you can bounce up, but the M1 and M2 still deliver awesome quality from what I've seen. one thing: that tiny battery takes like 2 hours to fully charge and it will allow about 320 pictures, so keep that in mind because you might want to get extras. Also a note: the new ones I THINK improve mostly on quality of life and functionality options, like using USB-C instead of micro, and from the M4 and onwards you can plug it on your computer and use it as a webcam, no capture card needed.

    Nowadays mid to high range cellphones take good pictures but there's too much algorithm and not enough straight from the camera/lens, image. Pictures looks nice but they lack character, they're kinda too perfect, almost as if it's just a rendition of what you saw at that moment rather than a rendition of what you wanted to show of that moment. Of course you can always post process and use filters, but imo it takes off the charm of taking a pictures with some settings and seeing the end result on your screen.

Since then I bought for almost nothing the more or less identical Mark I version as well. It is even smaller than the RX100 series, my definition of a small camera actually: If fits together with a medium sized smartphone into your pants front pocket. It’s also a great companion if used together with a Canon DSLR as bit bigger a travel kit.

I picked up an NEX 5n, Slapped a 35mm Zeiss on it, and WOW! Unfortunatly i live with in less than 5 min away from 3 major thrift stores and it's a gold mine for cameras.

I did find the perfect small street camera that I bought for a good price. You should do a review of the A5000 with the kit lens. It has wifi and some more other features and can be found for a good price now. You can also use the Sony camera Apps with the A5000 that give you a lot of extra options.

I was able to pick up a cosmetically beaten up but fully functional copy for £50 ($61) and it has lived in my jacket pocket ever since. Edit, what's even better, my camera has its original screen protector, so replacement on the way. Thanks for the info/link.

    My wife & I lived in Montevideo for a while & traveled all over by bus. At the time I was shooting Canon but because of our pending travel I sold it all & switched to the Olympus OMD EM5. I never regretted it. We had many amazing adventures without lugging large amounts of camera gear.

    Brandon Li made an early video with an original RX100, and Tim Kellner's early videos were made with a RX100 III or IV. They are surprisingly capable cameras. My choice is the Panasonic LX10, which has an even wider aperture and very decent 4k video.

    I've never heard of the first version being called the Mark 1, but I suppose that is what it is. I used this camera the other day to take pictures of a play, indoors of course. The images looked decent, but I fixed the noise with free trial software of DxO pure raw 2. Images came out great after that, and it was nice not having to carry a big camera with a long telephot.

    Picked up a RX100 Mk3 instead of a DSLR of a similar price before a big trip 2 years ago - just to be sure I would take it everywhere. The crowded menus didn't help me learn any basics of photography, but I got some AMAZING shots with it. The SOOC colors are not very good in my experience, the greens and browns especially seem to almost mush together. They just need some careful tweaking. I'm always bringing it as a compact backup cam to whatever limited mid-00's kit I brought out that day :) I'm surprised you survived without the grip! It's a necessity in my eyes

    I have always been ambivalent about the RX100. I think the sweet spot, if there was one, was the Mk III, with the faster lens at the 70mm end and an EVF. Call me old-fashioned, but I live in a country with very bright sunshine much of the time and some form of viewfinder is really useful. For a Canon P&S, the S95/S100/S110 are fantastic little cameras.

    The faster lens on the later versions is definitely a benefit. The main advantage of the MK1 besides the price is IMHO that it's the smallest of the bunch with later versions getting bigger as features were added.

    I had the mark IV. It was a great camera and it took great pics. Video was good too! They still hold up to my A7RIII and film shots. I took it to South America and even shipped it to a couple of friends to use on their trips they didn’t want to take full frame cameras! Sold it when I stopped using it as much, before I got in to the digicams. Maybe I I should’ve hung on to it, lol. I did find the shooting experience clunky and a little awkward.

    I have a question, and I'm only half way through this glorious video, my apologies if you do answer it... I used own the mark 5 version, and I loved how the zoom toggle would give you an lcd read out of your equivalent focal length. Does the mark 1 also do that? As someone who typically hauls around big cameras with a bag full of primes, this function was an ideal director's viewfinder that saved me so much time swapping out lenses unnecessarily. I gave that mark 5 to my dad when I moved, but maybe another rx100 is in my cards. So excited to keep watching!

    I got a iii recently and am loving it. I've been a manual or Av shooter forever but with toys one I'm finding I trust its auto more and more. The depth of field is almost always pretty deep so I just accept that as a limitation and then there's not a whole lot of reason not to use auto. There only thing I don't like is the nose reduction feels overly strong and can produce weird results so I just turn it off and do that in post off I need to
