So my camera is still in the hospital after a month because of dust issues

Sony warranty? That is too long, unacceptable.

I'm considering a mk2 or a mk3. Wondering if the low light capability @ wide open any difference or not.

Impressive for a compact. Quite noticeable noise.

Just got my RX100m3. First impressions.. easy to make good pictures with it.. despite the size it is somewhat dense/heavy - guess that's how they pack so much punch in it. For my hand I need to add a grip...

Thanks for your comments.

Below are the picture of the M3 jacket case ...

I got the exact same case. Love it. I use it with the bottom piece only. Saved my camera from some bumps. Very user-friendly as well.

The RX100m3 is my 3rd serious camera. I use it for travel, for making memories not photo gallery. iAuto mode... the shots are way better than anything I can manage with a mirrorless. I am super satisfied with this camera!

Only thing I noticed, shot wide open there's distortion, but that's a given. Shooting RAW and doing correction can fix it, yes?

The camera would've already corrected barrel distortion etc in jpeg. What you see is distortion related to the angle of view in wide. Can't do anything about it except don't shoot wide biggrin.gif

Flip screen around, selfie! Not cool if Eiffel is distorted.

still floating around 2.3k like that. Not cheap still.
Though, I have doubt when it comes to using Smartphone or RX100 sometimes.

Anybody want a pre-loved mk3? I am considering this new mk6. icon_idea.gif

I never felt mk4 or mk5 was a worthwhile upgrade. but now it seems the time is right. i guess the next iteration to upgrade is the mk9
