  • This camera is the best point and shoot I have ever owned
Style: DSCRX100M5/B
Superb Quality Compact I have used this product for about one month. This camera is the best point and shoot I have ever owned. I usually shoot with a DSLR camera. I came from shooting on a full frame camera. I must say that the imaging on this camera is very good. I can't really compare it to my Canon 5D Mark III head to head. However the lens and compact camera body are very high quality for a compact. Being able to shoot at apertures from 1.8 to f11 is pretty good for a camera of this size. Having a focal range of 24-70 is limiting, but the image quality is very good. ISO range is from 100-12,800. I have not tried shooting very slow shutter speed or quick shutter speeds. I do know you are able to shoot at shutter speeds of 32,000. This camera can also shoot a very fast burst rate of 24 fps up to 150 images then starts to slow down. There is now 315 points of focus using phase detection. The autofocus is very quick at 0.5 seconds. I primarily used this camera for photography. The view finder is small, but very usable. It is able to show 2.35 million dots of resolution. I did try using the video features and I was very happy with the video quality. I used 1080p at 60 frames. I used the xavcs format utilizing the 50 MB/second data speed. I refrained from using 4K because of the 5 minute cut off. Also I do not shoot to much in 4K. The HD 1080p was more than satisfactory for me. I give this camera 5 stars because I think it is one of the best cameras of 2016 in a compact body. ... show more

  • Absolutely no complaint about it
Style: DSCRX100M5/B
My wife refused to take RX1R II during her trip to Italy because it is relatively big and is not zoomable. What good is a camera if it is not getting used? So I sold that camera and bought this one, and she's so happy about it. Its almost unbelievable that Sony packed such powerful features into such a tiny body. Yes, the camera was released Oct 2016, and now (May 2018) the series is due for a new model, but it's still (almost) the best point-and-shoot camera at similar price. 1" sensor is small compared to APS-C and full frame, but is large enough considering its size. Most other point-and-shoot cameras have a larger body and even smaller sensor. The lens, when retracted, is so short that allows the camera to be fit into bags easily, but the performance is no compromise. It is equivalent to 24-70mm f/4.9-7.6 on FF, providing usable low-light performance and noticeable shallow depth-of-field effect. And can you believe that it comes with 315 phase detection AF points? That's more than many professional cameras have! AF is so fast and precise, and it's reliable for capturing fast moving objects. And 24fps shooting speed is higher than ALL APS-C and full frame cameras I'm aware of. Furthermore, they managed to put a retractable flash and viewfinder in such a small body. The viewfinder is the standard configuration for any professional camera and this camera is no exception despite of its size. In real use, this camera adds almost no weight and size to your bag. Image quality is superb. Although 20MP is not very high, every pixel is sharp. This camera is for you if any of these is true: * You want to be able to zoom through 70mm (compared to 28mm prime lens on the phone). * You want better low-light performance compared to phone. * You want some level of depth-of-field effect. * You want super fast continuous shooting speed. * You refuse to carry even smallest mirrorless camera because it's still too large for you. ... show more

  • In spite of it all ...
Style: DSCRX100M5/B
Pretty much what the reviews said. Lens sharp as a tack, but wish it went to 90mm equivalent. Viewfinder is adequate for when I really need one, which is mostly when I'm in a darkened room and I don't want my face lit up like I'm holding a candle. The controls are daunting and the vocabulary and some common functions are odd for digital cameras. For example, you have to erase images by days. To erase them all you have to format the card (at least as far as I've found.) Instructions are sometimes vague and incomplete. Seems to be more at home with Mac computers than PCs. The camera was also released before major software titles were ready. Lightroom caught up 6 weeks after I got the camera. Sony needs to collaborate better with mainstream software. The stuff they "ship" with it is a crazy idea ... like I'm going to use different software for this pocket camera than I am for my Canon images (NOT!). It is, by the way, NOT a shirt or pants pocket camera. It's too thick and heavy for that. But it's a perfect coat pocket or fanny pack camera. Oh yeah. One other irritation. It comes with a couple of string adapters to which you can attach a neck strap, which the instructions say is "sold separately." Good luck finding where it is sold separately. I had to settle for a brown polka dot thing I found on Amazon. Why did they include the string adapters and no strap -- especially when no branded matching strap is available. Irritating details, but a great little camera that takes very sharp images. ... show more
