Sony RX100 initial thoughts

My wife and I are just coming to the end of our holiday and we both only brought mirrorless compacts of sorts. I just brought my Fuji X100T and she brought her new RX100M3.

We got the Sony a couple of weeks ago for her birthday as an alternative to DSLRs for travel. I went for the M3 rather than M4 as it has the viewfinder and represented good features vs cost. I think the M4 was £200 more expensive.

So far she is thrilled with it. The pictures are tack sharp from the Zeiss lens and it exposes perfectly. Coupled with all of the manual control when you want it, this camera is a real powerhouse.

It's not been pushed to its limits yet, but my wife is extremely pleased with it and I'm a little jealous.

I also just brought my X100 this time. It's forced me to learn to use it and appreciate what a fantastic tool it is.

Whilst these cameras will never replace a DSLR for absolute IQ or specialist requirements, they are excellent for this type if use.

So how's the weather down in Mallorca... I'm so very jealeous you can't even imagine.

Ahh Marcel we are actually in Cyprus. We went to Mallorca a month or so ago and we thought it was a wonderful place and would like to go back. Cyprus has been good weather wise but I think we are more likely to return to Mallorca. It's a lot closer to the UK and we really liked the feel of the place, not that I have anything against Cyprus.

I do see where the confusion came from as I was trying to decide if I should take my DSLR to Mallorca and posted a question here.

We don't normally go away this often, it's due to a family bereavement earlier in the year when we had to return on the first day of a two week trip.

Well, we still want to see pics from the Sony and I'd still love to go back to Mallorca. But I guess I'm less jealous now that you're not in Mallorca. :)
