DXC-RX100M3/B

September 01, 2014
First .. WOW .. the low light performance of this little camera is awesome! The High-ISO performance is FAR beyond anything I've used in this class of camera and out-performs some recent mid-range DSLRs. I'm getting good useable photos at ISO 4000 and no problem at all with ISO 1600 .. it has many (if not all) the controls and settings of several DSLR cameras I've recently owned that helps with getting great low light performance as well. Let's remember what we purchased this camera for .. it's tiny size and LARGE sensor .. it does not disappoint, when used as a pro camera .... OK, that said .. putting it in the 'Intelligent Auto' mode left me wishing for lower 'auto-ISO' choices or maybe a 'upper/lower ISO LIMIT' setting. But it takes great photos all the same. Not a disappointment, at all. ** I have only (2) CONs : The pop-up viewfinder eyepiece .. it pops up nice solid 'click' .. but when pulling back on the eye piece it does NOT 'snap' into place, feels a little 'wobbly' .. it does not seem to affect the operation or focusing that I can tell .. The second is the 'Diopter' adjustment .. because of it's proximity to 'eyebrows' and perhaps because the eyepiece is wobbly (the pullback part) .. it tends to need regular adjustment which can be a pain. (Otherwise I'd have given 5 or 6 stars) :-)... Read More  Hide

Incredible Small Camera - Needs More Elements

April 03, 2015
Comments about the Sony DSC-RX100M3 Camera March 29, 2015 by Great Blue Full Comments: http://goo.gl/fV7yXk I think that the Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera is an incredible small camera. The extraordinary creative and productive effort that has gone into the development of this camera is very evident. This is a camera that will fit into one hand and that can be easily carried around. This camera is more delicate than many other pocket sized cameras, and it is certainly not as physically robust as are many other point-and-shoot cameras or as are most DSLR cameras. When carrying this camera around and placing it in a pocket, a soft drawstring bag or fabric case should always be used to protect the camera. 1. As delivered, Sony did not provide elements that I think are necessary for the Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. I recommend that Sony provide these elements with this camera. a. A soft drawstring bag or a small lightweight fabric case b. The transparent protective cover for the viewing screen (Monitor) (Sony: Screen Protect Semi Hard Sheet, PCK-LM15) c. An additional separate cover for the lens assembly (Lens) d. The front mounted finger grip (Sony: Attachment Grip, AG-R2) e. Full Instruction Manual in both Kindle© and NOOK© e-reader format.

Rx100 M3 Initial impression

June 25, 2014
The images are sharp but noise is prevalent. Even at ISO 200 the images are noisy. Using Lightroom with a Luminous setting of about 50 clears that up. Not too much post processing sharpening is necessary, Perhaps a 50/50 setting of noise reductions and sharpening will do. As a small camera, use every means to keep it from falling out of your hand. Use the strap wrist band and the optional stick on grip. (not expensive) The image tone is excellent and an enlargement of 16x20 is very sharp.and attractive. Has many features as on the A77 or A7 series. This is a quality point and shoot camera but has a limited aperture range of 1.8 to f 11.This could be a negative for Landscape shooting which often requires a smaller aperture. A workaround for this issues is to use hyperfocal techniques to gain a greater depth of field. What is interesting is the the wider lens openings are very sharp but are limited in depth of field. Just began using it and these are my initial observation.... Read More  Hide

Excellent Camera - but...

July 05, 2014
Excellent little camera maybe even for professionell street photography - if there would be the possibilty to change these following small problems in the menu. I prefer to shoot at the 50mm focal range, and if i turn off the camera and turn it on again there is the 24mm focal range as a starting point. But i would prefer a camera that can remember my last focal range - as a special offer in the menu. And I found a viewfinder problem, pushing it back should not switch off the camera. Please Sony, change that ;-) Thank you.... Read More  Hide
