I use it for holidays, but also occasionally for events where I'm not invited as a photographer. Celebrations, balls etc. has already been through the camera.
Pro:
- The quality of the lens is in the WW area very well, at the telephoto end well, at close range poorly, if one can call from close range. The edge drop is 30% quite visible, but rarely relevant in practice.
- The operation is like DSLR, just stop with fewer controls. But when it does not have to be hectic to cope.
- The quality is up to the game with the depth of field that quite what I would reach from a standard APS-C DSLR. Sure you can find with Pixelpeeping differences, for Full HD video projector, photo books, internet, posters to 30 * 40 but irrelevant.
- Daylight brightening with central lock at all times is very pleasant, the tiltable mounting lightning for events quite useful for a balanced lighting.
- Overall very stable housing, however wobbling lens. Light filters can give up with an adapter.
- External viewfinder available in high quality (although quite expensive and unwieldy)
Cons:
- The internal flash can not control external flashes. Substituting a 20 on it, it indirectly usually only in landscape mode. For vertical one then needs a cable. Lightning Technically the competition is there on. - The local area is poor quality and you also can not get really close to Ran. Under Bl. 4 / 5.6 goes nothing.
- With built-in flash, the ISO will unnecessarily far turned up in the Aufsteckblitz Kam at low ISO remains. This can irritate. Manual ISO choice helps.
- The telephoto Aperture moderately strong decrease lens for Daduchus like to very high ISO and / or camera shake. If you want to flash, the ratio continuously changes with the focal length space light to flash, which causes inconsistent photos at events. Counteracting is possible, but with difficulty.
- Control by smartphone / tablet is just a disaster. Just enough for Selfies, but can a smartphone also good enough. Setting the parameters is not possible, so one has to do on the camera and rely on the relatively expensive cable release.
Overall, the camera is still unbeatable and replaced for private pictures DSLR equipment. The RX-100III has now installed the viewfinder and a stronger light at the telephoto end of the lens, but no hot shoe and ext. Lightning can not also control. Therefore, for my applications, the RX-100II with 20 lightning still the better choice.
