I bought this as a replacement compact camera (I also have full DSLR gear) for the Canon G7X Mk II. The Canon is an excellent camera but the Sony has additional capabilities that I wanted:• Longer reach on the Sony – 200mm vs 100mm• Sony has 4K video vs HD on the Canon• Sony has a pop-up electronic viewfinder vs. none on the Canon• The Sony supports the use of a wireless remote shutter controller; Canon does notThe Sony is also slightly smaller and lighter than the Canon. One advantage area for the Canon is better low-light (high ISO) performance but the Sony is still quite good. Battery performance may also be better with the Canon but I always have spare batteries on hand. Images on both of these cameras are good enough that I can feel comfortable taking these on a trip in lieu of the heavy DSLR gear.

I can't begin to describe how nice this little camera is. I've been serious about photography for more than 50 years and have owned many, many cameras starting with sheet film B&W, through 35mm and on to digital. My camera bag increased in size for years until I rediscovered how much enjoyment I get from having my camera with me most of the time. The zoom only goes to 200mm equivalent but the focus is so sharp I put it about equal to a 400mm with tiny sensor. This may be the best camera I have ever owned.

I have a Nikon D850 but I wanted something small to bring to events being that DSLR's aren't allowed without media passes in some cases. This camera does it. The quality is quite amazing for a small digital camera. The zoom is great considering it's size (which is what I was after). It's quick and it still acts as a DSLR with RAW capabilities and complete manual adjustments.The video quality is also super impressive.Well worth the money. Camera arrived quick and in perfect condition. Thank you !

Otima!!!!

This little camera from Sony is an awesome imaging device. Though it is sold as a point-and-shoot camera, it has full manual controls over settings. Some interesting facts about this camera are -1. It can shoot even in RAW-only mode.2. Impressive colour reproduction and dynamic range, particularly if one considers its small sensor size.3. Auto-focus system is very quick and accurate .4. Very high burst mode suitable for BIF or sports photography.5. Very handy zoom range for shooting any kind of photography, except wildlife.There are some cons as well. They are1. High ISO performance is not so good.2. Menu navigation for changing settings sometimes can become cumbersome.3. Buttons are too small to find out quickly, though its not a deal breaker.4. Price is a little high. Anything around 60K would have been appropriate.Overall, this pocket camera is good for someone who is starting photography and who travels a lot.

Once you can get your mind around the limitless possibilities in the settings you can take advantage of the fantastic lens sharpness that areLegendary for Zeiss lenses!A fantastic small compact camera with quality that can out perform many of the larger format rival brands.Although the camera Is expensive l do feel that is worth the money in my opinion!

La compre para un viaje. Toma fotos increibles

I won't mention anything that you can possibly find from reading the description and I'm certainly not a professional photographer, more of an amateur but in order to preserve all my memories, I need my photos to look great.I currently own the Sony A7R III, with a preorder in place for the A7R IV, but since I travel pretty often, I wanted something that was a bit smaller. Small enough to fit in my pocket and not attract too much attention. The Sony A7R just looks expensive, and combined with the 24-70mm 2.8f it can get heavy after walking around a city for a couple of hours.This is my very first Sony compact camera so I can't compare it to any other, but what I can say is that it takes really great photos (at least outdoors in natural light). I'm attaching two that I took earlier of my cat and backyard. I've been playing around with the settings and from what I've gathered, even in manual mode, there was no way for me to make my fstop constant, although I could change my shutter speed, ISO etc. If there's a way I'm sure I'll find it, or I'd like to know how to do so.While the photos look amazing in the natural afternoon light, I also love the option of having a built-in dedicated flash although I personally don't ever use a flash. The photos look sharp in the camera and also once downloaded. So why did I give it 4 stars. Because of what it didn't have.Cons.1. Camera because of it's size can get real slippery after using for a while so I had to end up buying the attachment grip. While not overly expensive, it would have been great to have it, especially when you're paying over $1k for the camera itself.2. Sony didn't include a real battery charger, but instead one that connects to a USB so you technically have to plug it into your computer to charge. Since I have a new MacBook Pro that wasn't possible for me, so once again I had to spend money on a real charger.BTW, there is also no written manual. Besides those two major things above which were my biggest pet peeve, this is an amazing camera. I also purchased the shooting grip so I can take it with me and take my own pics without having to ask someone to do so, and also purchased the camera case.If you're looking for something REALLY compact, and you're tired of walking around with your mirrorless or DSLR, then I say get this. I'll update this if I run into any other issue along the way, but so far I'm loving it.Update: Took it on a trip to Portugal for a week and it performed as I expected, amazingly well. Battery life was good for a couple of hours after taking a few hundred photos, but I purchased another just to be on the safe side. I prefer shooting in Aperture Priority mode, so set the aperture and had everything else on auto and my photos all turned out great. I attached the camera grip and was able to take selfies without having to ask anyone to take my photo.Camera because of its size is the perfect travel camera and now I may just end up canceling my preorder for the M4. I was able to zoom in and out and camera all the details that I wanted to. I've attached a few more pics that I took, one of a statue at 24mm and another up close to get more details.I still, however, won't adjust my rating to a 5. Someone mentioned that they received a wall plug in their camera kit, but mine was missing thus the reason I had to purchase the battery charger. And once again after walking around for a while in the heat and holding this "tiny" camera, it does get slippery, so I recommend the attachment grip. I bought the cheap sony camera case for under $15 and it fit in there perfectly with the attached grip, extra battery with no issues.

I’ve bought each of the previous RX100 series cameras up to the V and thought I’d stop there, with V being my favorite, especially with the ND filter and fast lens, F1.8 (both of which this new VII does not have:(. And I’ve sold each and everyone except the V. The great thing about the V as well as the previous models, in my opinion, is that they still maintain their relevance today. So why did I buy this model while still keeping my V?I like the new advanced Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF. I like the almost blackout free shooting. And I like the 200mm zoom capabilities in a much more powerful camera body that I can still carry in my pocket. All of which I’ve tried during the limited time I’ve now had this camera. As well as the ‘steady shot’ which I used while filming myself walking. I think it works great as I didn’t appear to be bobbing up and down in the video. I tried the video in F2.8 as a blogger might up close and personal and I saw a slightly pleasing bokeh behind me. I did notice that on a tripod and the further I moved away from the camera, the bokeh became noticeable sharper.The Sony AG-R2 grip still fits this model as it has in previous models. I plugged in the Saramonic SR-xm1 mic and that delivers great sound for me and a more compact package for video of my grandkids.This camera, for me, is all about a more powerful camera that can fit in my pocket for extreme portability when I travel, frequently, for 3, 4 and 5 day weekends and I just don’t feel like bringing my heavier cameras. I believe the step up from the V to the VII is worth it to me. If you’re a vlogger or someone that just wants to travel light and wants the best that money can buy in a point and shoot then I don’t think you can go wrong with this camera.
