Just got my RX100 Mark III from J One, comes with extra battery and case.

2.3K, free battery, case and a Sony 16GB SDHC UHS-I card.

Soft skin effect?

Testing closeup, details are surprising decent.

Go for 8GB card. If you shoot raw, each raw is around 25MB. 7000MB / 25MB = 280 photos.
To make use of the full video potential, you need a SDXC card. So 8GB and 16GB doesn't really matter.

SDHC supports up to maximum 32GB, while SDXC supports up 2TB.
Usually 64GB or larger cards are based on SDXC, while smaller are SDHC.

I bought Extreme Pro 32GB earlier then only found out the high bitrate video isn't supported due to SDHC

To make use full use of the video feature, you need that.

Do some post-processing and the magic will happen

Photoshop

If you are comparing to typical compact camera which deploys 1/2.33" sensor, the quality will be similar. For 1/1.7" or even 1" (RX100), phone still has no match to them. This is the physics limitation.

ISO-800 but the image is still extremely clean. Phone camera? Already a mess.
The RX100 does beat entry level DSLR with kit lens thanks to the big aperture lens keeping the ISO low.

I got a crappy screen in my laptop with low saturation. Easy to go overboard with it.

Sharp even at biggest aperture.

The mark III and IV have 24mm wide, which is just tad narrower than Xperia Z series. Other phones have 26mm or 28mm.

Added ~3 stops of exposure and the shadow still show extremely little noise. At base ISO though.

Yes, you can. With focus peaking.

Focus peaking will highlight the in focus area in the viewfinder so you will know what object is in focus currently.
Yes, you can. But you need to get use of it as the the zoom ring sensitivity is quite high, so you need to turn quite a lot to focus from infinity to macro.

Yes.

Not really due to the pricing and performance. No sign of a6000 replacement coming soon too. It is already a capable camera for most purposes.

Sexy RX100, shoot by 1100D + 50mm f/1.8

4 months+

The camera is quite conservative in shutter speed. It defaults to ~1/(1.5x focal length), so in some daylight scene you will get up to ISO 1000 with telephoto length.

As far as I tried, 1/10 is still able to get sharp pictures at that length, but the ISO is way lower (lower noise & better dynamic range!). I would use A mode for broad daylight (let the camera control the shutter speed as it is at base ISO anyway) and M mode for indoor & lowlight so I can control the shutter speed.

Delivers image quality as good as DSLR/Mirrorless Kit in a compact package, it is still a killer. Especially with the mad 24 FPS.
