r/RX100

Anyone who has used both the Mark V and VII, do you prefer the faster lens and ND filter of the V over the longer reach and autofocus of the VII?

I recently purchased the VII and I'm happy with everything except the limiting performance in non-bright conditions.

Hi all!

Looking to purchase a camera for outings.
So fair I’ve own the canon sx280hs and Sony Zv-1f.
I love the warmth and color on the canon but do not like the blurryness, this is where Sony comes in for me but the pictures come out so pale and dull.
Please advise or share your opinions on which one is worth the money, thank you!

Hi, I have shot on old canons up until now and I would like to buy a mark 3, it seems like all online retailers are very overpriced though. Should I wait for prices to fall or maybe look somewhere else?

My rx100 refuses to hold a charge
Lasts maybe an hour?

Things I have tried:
- firmware update not needed. Firmware is updated (v2.0)
- turning off in shooting mode (still drains)
- Shooting with brand new batteries
- batteries will no longer re charge with USB charger. Just order another charger to try that
- resetting to factory settings
- hard reset on camera

I’m just over it. Have never had a camera battery die this fast. Sony and local camera repair shops quoted me $400+. Insane.

Which camera should I get instead? G7x? I won’t be buying Sony again lol but going to be buying used. I shoot just for fun and friends events. Would love under $600 ideally.

Thank you for your advice!

J’aime bien verrouiller une prise, puis modifier un peu le cadrage, mais mon mark 7 me suit et modifie l’exposition.

Alors que je voudrais que tout soit bloqué au "bip" de la mise au point.

Ça fait 3 heures que je traficote les paramètres, AEL av déclencht, touche perso App/Rela AEL, mode de mise au point, zone détection...je deviens chèvre !

Un conseil ?

Merci !

EDIT : it works, but only in Auto mode !

Hey everyone, hoping someone has experienced this before.

My RX100 IV flash suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. It was working fine, then the next time I tried to use it, nothing — just the orange dot indicator staying solid (not blinking, so the capacitor seems to be charging fine).

Things I’ve already tried:
• Factory reset (Initialize) → no change
• Tested in full Auto and P mode in a dark room with Flash Mode set to “Flash On”

Here’s the weird part: the flash fires randomly when I gently press the flash unit inward. This made me suspect a contact/connection issue rather than a capacitor or flash tube problem.

I cleaned the flash contacts with a 70% isopropyl alcohol swab and noticed something — the left side of the flash unit has 2 contact pins, but the right side only has 1. Is this normal by design, or is one pin missing/broken?

Has anyone dealt with this before? Is this a known issue on the RX100 IV? Would love to know if this is fixable without going to a service center.
Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m planning a family trip to Malaysia and Singapore, including KL, Penang, Ipoh/Melaka, Singapore and a few nights on an island resort.

I’m trying to decide whether the Sony ZV-1 II makes sense as a proper pocket camera alongside a phone and an action camera.

This would mainly be for:

Family memories on the go

Better low-light photos/videos than a phone

Food, street scenes and markets

Beach/island evening shots

Some basic star/night sky attempts with a mini tripod

General family video without needing a big camera setup

I’ve looked at the Sony RX100 VII, but it is quite a bit more expensive. I understand the RX100 VII has the better zoom and is probably the better all-round compact camera, but I’m wondering whether the ZV-1 II is the more sensible choice for casual family travel, especially when a modern phone already covers a lot of daytime photos.

I’m not expecting it to be great for moon shots because of the limited zoom. My main question is whether the ZV-1 II is good enough to justify taking as a dedicated pocket camera for family travel, low light and casual video.

Would you choose the ZV-1 II, stretch to the RX100 VII, or just rely on a phone plus action camera?

Thanks.

When I lock focus on my Sony RX100 VII and then crop the photo before taking the shot, the camera adjusts its exposure settings based on the cropping instead of retaining all the initial focus parameters. How can I fix this?
