r/RX100

Bought a used one and it had this issue. It would turn on / extend lens by itself when i didnt even touch it at random times. Googled online and it's a common issue w/ these.
How about yall? Does this happen to you?

​Hi everyone,

​I’m currently going through a bit of a camera crisis and would love to hear your thoughts or similar experiences.

​My Gear Journey So Far:

​I started with a Sony a6000, which I loved, but eventually sold it to get the Fuji X-M5 for its built-in film simulations.

​Half a year later, I traded the X-M5 (via MPB, losing a bit of money, of course 😅) for a Lumix S9. I wanted to fulfill my long-time dream of owning a Full-Frame camera with custom LUT capabilities.

​The Current Dilemma:

While the Lumix S9 is amazing, I find myself leaving it at home more often than I’d like because of its size and weight. Just recently, I was out walking my dog, spotted a deer, and was super annoyed that I didn’t have a camera on me.

​Now I’ve been looking into the Sony RX100 VII on social media, and I’m seriously thinking about selling the S9 to get the RX100 VII purely for the portability factor.

​Before making another trade (and losing more money), I have a few specific questions for RX100 VII owners or anyone who has made a similar switch:

​Has anyone gone through a similar journey (scaling down from Full-Frame to a 1-inch compact sensor) and enjoyed the change, or did you regret it?

​Noise performance: How bad is low light / high ISO noise on the 1-inch sensor in real-world use?

​Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) JPEGs: How are the colors straight out of the box?

​Veres Deni Alex Film Simulations: Has anyone used these picture profiles on the RX100 VII? How well do they emulate film, especially compared to Fuji or Lumix LUTs?

​Ergonomics & Handling: Is the body too small, or is it manageable for daily use?

​Context: I mainly shoot my family, street/cityscapes, and nature.

​Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Just got an RX100 VII used in excellent condition and was wondering what settings everyone has been using on their camera? im not talking ISO, shutter or aperture, more so these:

file format - do you save both raw and jpeg for photos? or choose one or the other?

what aspect ratio do you use?

do you shoot videos in 4k or HD?

record setting / frame rate / quality (fine vs extra fine)

for insight, i will be using this camera mostly for travel, concerts, and taking video snippets which i will then turn into a longer form video for posting on youtube. and would love to make sure i get the most out of the camera for what it offers. i have two 128gb sd cards and as of right now only one battery but i do plan on purchasing back ups. any advice helps!

Budget: Ideally less than $600 all-in with accessories-- but I'm willing to spend a little more if there's a really compelling reason. See notes below.

Country: US

Condition: Either new or used, although my first trip leaves September 7, so I don't have a ton of time to buy resale from eBay and worry about it being shipped to the US on time.

Type of Camera: Point and shoot

Intended use: Just photography

End use: Social media / small prints

Photography style: Street, landscape, travel

What features do you absolutely need: I'm a total beginner, so I'm not really sure! I’d love advice on what features actually matter for what I'm trying to do. Portability and good image quality are probably the biggest things.

What features would be nice to have: Again, I'm open to recommendations here. I really love the look of the photos I've seen from the Sony RX100 VII and would like something that can produce that kind of image quality/look without necessarily spending that much.

Portability: Very portable. Ideally pocketable or small enough that I won't think twice about bringing it hiking/backpacking. I don't want to buy a camera that ends up staying in my hotel because it's too bulky.

Cameras you're considering:

• Sony RX100 VII: This is the camera I'm most interested in based on my initial research. I really love the look of the photos I've seen from it, and it seems like a great travel camera, but it's more expensive than I was hoping to spend.
• Canon ELPH 360: I'm wondering if I can "get away" with a cheaper/more portable option like this. Maybe I'll actually prefer how small it is. That said, I don't take many selfies, don't love the Y2K/digicam look, and am more interested in getting genuinely good travel photos than getting a trendier aesthetic.

Cameras you already have: None

Notes:

I have a bunch of once-in-a-lifetime travel coming up - hiking trips, vacations, etc. - and want to invest in a camera, but I'm a total beginner. I've basically only used my phone, so I don't want something that's unnecessarily complicated, but I'm also willing to learn.

My biggest dilemma is whether the RX100 VII is actually worth the extra money for a beginner, or whether I'd be perfectly happy with something cheaper. I feel a little guilty about cheaping out ahead of these trips and then regretting it, but I also don't want to spend $1000+ on a camera when there might be a $400–600 option that would accomplish basically everything I need.

For hiking/backpacking in particular, I'm wondering whether I should prioritize something even smaller/lighter. At the same time, I really don't want to sacrifice too much image quality just for portability.

I'm also very open to a camera I haven't considered! If there's something else in the ~$600 range (or even a little above) that would be a better fit for what I'm describing, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks!!

Sold out everywhere or nearly 2000 on amazon😭 nothing on Facebook marketplace in southern Ontario. has anyone had any luck??

Okay so the thing is, i am complete beginner and this is probably going to be first camera ever, at first i wanted to get something like the ixus series from canon, then I came across the sony rx series, and a found a really good deal in my city for around 20k pre negotiation, was wondering if that is worth the price, because i am looking for a compact point and shoot

I want to mount a permanent Black Mist filter on my Sony RX100 VII while still being able to use the pop-up flash from time to time.

Everything on AliExpress seems to be either

52mm stick-on adapter: Too bulky, ends up blocking the flash.

Magnetic setup: Knocks right off whenever the camera goes into a pocket or bag.

Is there really no adhesive 39mm or 40.5mm threaded adapter for the front lens ring so I can just screw on a compact, permanent filter? Seems so obvious, but I can't find one anywhere.
