nah take a look at real world samples - http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/reviewsa...r-shot-rx100-ii

I'm a raw shooter so more interested in how the files looks like.

RX100MII

Woot, Sony released a step up model =D

$749, would it be more expensive over here in Malaysia?

Was discussing this with a geeky collegue....

Looks like the MKII really gains makes nice gains in high ISO performance... on paper at least... it looks like ISO3200 on the MKII will be as useful as ISO800 on the MK1



But with most backlit sensor... there's a price to pay also. Almost 2 stop lost in low ISO dynamic range.

^ i dun un. mind explain in human languange on MKII vs MK I (what this btw)? haha.

it's Mark 1 and Mark 2, same meaning as ver.1 and ver.2, or 1st gen and 2nd gen...

oh. i thought its smth technical on the chart

So difficult ker?

OK...in human language means RX100MKII gooding if you play snap snap a lot at low light but if wanna seriously take nice photo, RX100 works better

You see the blue line at ISO1600 is even higher than RX100 purple line at ISO800. Means RX100MKII is at least one stop better than MK1.

And that blue line between ISO1600 and ISO3200 is relatively flat. At ISO3200, its about the same level at MK1 at ISO800 (in this case 2 stops better)

I explained dynamic range here:
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=61372048

At base ISO (the lowest), RX100MKII's backlit sensor not gooding liao.. as its almost 2 stops below MK1.

So why this is important you ask? It's important because when you shoot landscape/cityscape whatever and on tripod or stabilized, you would wanna use the lowest ISO for the cleanest crispiest photo.

But at this setting, dynamic range is low...

This is not a scientific example but pictar 1 is shot with RX100 with 12EV+ DR at close to base ISO.


DSC00111 by vmwt, on Flickr

And this is shot with my handphone which is nowhere close 12EV. The dark part of the image got no detail and the brightest part of the image also blown out.. no details = suxballs

i think most people will be very happy with the compromise when you weight in the availability of hotshoe and articulated display.

OTOH their RX1R seems to be a compromise as well, earlier tests revealed that the resolution didn't increase much, but moire is expected tone more pronounced than original RX1.

Articulated display is handy but I dunno about hotshoe... EVF could be useful (didn't like em myself) but as for flash.. wanna carry around speedlites larger than the camera itself ker?

sniper on the roof roger that n loud & clear now. n no butthurt for Rx100MKII in the market

Wanna share my pictures here when I was in Paris ... some shot had cropped into cinemascope format

Ah.. I miss Paris so much.

No touch screen on the new RX100 MKII?

Was hopefully a touch screen features with it instead of any other features from the predecessor.

Seems like a lot ppl going to Europe recently

Eilean Donan Castle, Highland, Scotland


Highland, Scotland


SkyBridge, Scotland


Glenfinnan, Scotland


Rialto Bridge, Venice

Nice. Wish I had a good camera when I was there. That time only had a 2.1mega pixel Minolta DiMage X . That time digital camera not mature yet




Wow nice nice....

The amount of dynamic range loss in the iso 100 to 200 is it worth the little gain in SNR?

And now without the the AA, they is a chance u get the moire with purple color like what happen to pentax k5-iis

em i think you're referring to RX1-R not RX100 II, sorry for my post for confusing people...
