RX100 smear. Its only on JPEG on high. Noticeable at 6400. But only on zoom when i tested it.
RAW no issue.

Havent tested low iso yet. aka 80-125.

Battery life was my main concern when buying this camera.. after i get to know that the cam is charged with mini usb port and could be charged with power bank, there's i make up my mind n went with rx100.

To make myself feel balance, i compare it in a non professional way. For a 1.5/1.6x cropped sensor DSLR, it cost rm2-3k; a full frame 1x cropped, it cost rm6-7k, the price is doubled.

Comparing rx100 (1") to LX7 (1/7"), the sensor size is doubled, but the price is rm600 higher vs rm1.5k LX7, not yet doubled the price mer, so feel it's worth it la.

1 con side of rx100 i found during my trip is, the cam is more to underexposed around 1 stop.. whereas my fren s95 is always over exposed. Somehow it's better to be under rather than over also, can level it in photoshop.


Added on November 5, 2012, 10:31 pmthe other features that makes me feel that it's worth it is the innovative value in this cam..

Sony's flash feature: what other brand camera's can use the built in flash to do ceiling bounce?

The cam has a drop sensor, it will detect when the cam has a free fall and quickly retract the lense.

The filters: toy, illustration, miniature, water colour, high contrast b&w..all these add fun of playing with this cam..

hmm... sony, u haven't pay me commission of promoting this cam! lol.. atleast some free gift pls =P
anyway i really agrees that this is the best compact for 2012 (if it's cheaper by 500 it kills all other competitors)

that's a good point to know!

During my trip, i decided i wanted to buy a small cloth pouch. Easily take out from pocket and snap pictures. The cover of the lens is a hinder to me. I am using the Sony Camera Case for RX100.

It's fine to use it when keep inside the bag. I will spent money to buy lens instead but the leather case.

Dunno back then price at 2k plus really don't bother to look at it but now it has slashed its price, I can see pass the fact it has no control. Seems like a lot of pro praise the Nikon v1.

hi guys,

Sharing some of my random pics took from my recent trip. Lucky i made a quick decision with rx100. Compact and high quality picture/video camera is allowing my activities much more comfortable. Especially climbing a slope mountain.

I found the RX100 selling for about RM1850 at a reputable chain in HK. There are shops selling it as low as RM1450 but it sounds too good to be true.

the gariz case looks nice but it doesnt look like you can remove the front cover like the LXJ-RXA
i find that the LXJ-RXA front cover is small enough to be put into my pants pocket. once i finish shooting, i can latch it back on and enclose it

In HK now checking out the price near my hotel in Nathan Road. Original set is HK4680 (RM1887) and AP is HK3900 (RM1572). Apparaently, for original set you can get international warranty by going to Sony Center in Mongkok personnally to get it stamp. Now not sure which want to get. Any advise?

I will get the AP set. You save 31% compare to malaysia RM2199. Nowadays, very seldom got manufacturer defect. Even you drop, you also cannot claim warranty. Save the money now and worry later!
