hi guys,

How much longer to wait for a sony camera like RX100 to drop price like minus RM500 or more?

Is it possible to be happened in next 6 months?!

I not sure whether Sony Camera will only drop price when it is replace by its own new generation or another stronger competitors out there?!

I am thinking of in replacing my old bro, panasonic LX3. Just over Rm2k for a camera is kind of turning me off at the moment. The moment i saw it in sony shop with its price tag i stop explored bout it. Truly i was in love with its pocket-able size.

Didn't know this little wonder is surprisingly outstanding after watching a few youtube videos reviews since yesterday.

Decision need to make within this two weeks.

maybe.... another 6 months or 12 months.....

yes.. very "Different market segment"..
firstly, the weight and size.
of course the dslr has lots more functionality to them but its a really obtrusive instrument...
going to a social dinner party (jackets required) with a big bag and cam can be taxing on one's social standing...
or even a nightclub where u need to constantly keep an eye out for the cam/bag..
even the nex is considered big with its 18-55 lens.
but the new 16-50 is interesting with the nex6...
just sold off my nex5 with the 18-55 but keeping the pancake and the uwa and fisheye adapters and waiting for the nex6 to come on over..

i now just use the oly xz1 and am quite happy with the size cept the low light/ no flash capabilities...

having said that, the dslr will always have its place that can never be dethroned simply by its capabilities.
its just having the correct tool for the job...

these are my thoughts/opinion and mine alone.

The market this day big differences.... those cheap below 1k P&S all cannot sell becoz ppl used smartphone.....
The serious P&S market also seriously affected. The only one now that still showing growth are the mirrorless and DSLR.
As for this Rangefinder want to be..... it is more like a niche but high price market. Lots of ppl want Leica but cant afford, can still afford camera at half the price or one-third the price of a M9, ppl still willing to fork out one.

hi noobiba+others with rx100,

enjoying your new toy?


did you try modifying the creative> std style settings?

i find that, pics have better IQ if you set the creative>STD style to -3 contrast, -3 saturation and -3 sharpness. this is in preparation for PP in PS.


anymore pics? smile.gif

I do concede that the Sony rx100 is expensive.
Must wait till the 1 inch sensor become more main stream for the price to drop.
But it's a great step in the right direction For better image N low light quality in a compact.
Let's not compare it to a leica La.... That is beyond reach of an average Joe...
Not an excuse, but last I heard, these companies are in it to make a profit, as much of it as possible... At our expense of course la.. Heh..

Just bought mine.

After i look at the LX7 'increment' size in real. It's turned me off instantly even though it got this awesome F1.4 good for low-lighting.
Couldn't careless for whatever convincing debate about LX7 pawns RX100 in any aspect anymore.

One thing is majority reviews stressing about 'pocketable' for RX100. I thought Rx100 could fit my jeans's pocket perfectly.
Yes it can fit but uncomfortable to walk....haha. So, it is cool to fit for others pants material. Just not for 'slim-fit' or even 'skinny-fit' jeans.

So much things to explore in this little wonder. Many settings and features i didn't see in LX3. I am so left behind by camera fancy features~...

I met two promoters very generous in explaining and demo about this Rx100 in Fotokem and Sony Style, LYP.

The best deal i could found is inside Sg wang, Ground Floor. The camera shop got two chinese uncles, selling 2155(if no mistaken). For installement is RM2257.

Well, he selling LX7 at Rm1450!

FYI, only Sony Style will *Free* leather casing which cost Rm199.

Idoblue...woo!.. nice to hear you get a good price with this awesome little wonder with installment charges still.

Yeah, my friend bought a fujifilm camera over Rm3k one.. He said he negotiated until no need to pay any charges. 3 shops i went yesterday need to pay charges.

From my past experience, most shops in Sg wang or LYP will charging for any installment plan, right?!

I paid for the warranty since it is not too much.. Rm110 for extra 2 years. Total is 3 years. Included the Oversea Warranty for 1 year.
We can get extra 3 months warranty if register within 7 days.

I always bought warranty for my electronic stuff. If Sony Rx100 is not made in Japan, I might reconsider seriously especially with this price tag. The two Panasonic camera i used was Made in Japan. Never failed on my expectation for years. This is my personal opinion.

In fact, I not sure i will going to use the leather casing after a while. Haha.. It is looking so lovely to snug into a pocket. Even greater feeling than the LX3 which was a compact 'high-end' camera that impressed me last time. But it couldn't keep inside my pocket comfortable.

I just viewed some of my edited photos at my Flickr. Surprisingly, RX100 is comparable to my A200+1750 which is bit expensive and much much bulkier, and my Nex5 + 16mm no fight at all only better than my iPhone 4.

Very happy with this tiny great camera, best camera ever made IMO !

I bought mine from digitalfm14 (PJ), at RM2149 with the case. Should have bought earlier when it was RM2119.

Took it to my son's kindergarden concert together with my old LX3.
RX100 totally blew the LX3 away with the picture quality.
Video also great.

The sound quality from the video was a bit lacking though.

The low light quality of this camera is really awesome.

I tested some random music inside my room.. It's far more better than my old LX3 which is mono and weak voice. Always have to pump up volume in video editing program.
LX3 sometimes sound will be 'exploded' if too strong volume.

256kbps, 48Hz for AVCHD.
128kbps, 48Hz for Mp4.
Both file format in Stereo.

I need to find a way to edit video and retain the 60fps. FCPX couldn't import the MTS. If convert into QT, it will auto-convert into 25fps with ClipWrap.

So far, i am thinking have to switch back to Windows in Sony Vegas to get the job done.

p/s: I love the low light too...

During IA mode, why we have to apply 'Color Effects' mode with 'Down arrow' from small ring button?
FN button could shows the 'Color Effects' mode but unable to apply it from there.
