Lang:
Here is a small rant about the RX100 was planned actually. Luckily, I have to be ordered to do so by wrestled a second. With this the problems marked with * no longer occurred, which has something reconciled me with this camera.
For the operation I remember only one word: awkward. The camera has a few buttons, that would not be so tragic if there was an elaborate speed dial menu. So one must not lying for all functions on one button in the menu Keller rise but if you're already there, you might as well set the time correctly.
But biggest annoyance for me is the processing of the first camera: With an introductory price of over 600, I expect quality. The reality was, however different: Laid to his thumb on the rubberized holding surface, was a creaking sound and the camera was visible after. The rotating ring was much too tough and you had a lot to turn eg manually change focus. War is a turn around, the ring receipted scraping with a noise.
The zoom was very questionable scraping and crackling noises which could be heard cracking less but very reliable as a vibration in the hand feel.
In the Second RX100 these problems no longer existed except for the stiff, sluggish ring. The zoom sound much better.
Bitched enough: a death must die and I am for the decision of complicated operation and only partially reliable AF. The quality was at the second camera okay, so I kept it.
