First time with the Sony RX100 Vi⁣
I recently went on vacation to Puerto Vallarta and left my Ricoh GR3 at home giving this Sony a try. Is this my new travel camera?? I think so. ⁣
⁣
Here’s are my thoughts on the camera:⁣
⁣
⭐️Beginner friendly. Easier to learn and pretty straight forward than most. ⁣
⁣
⭐️Multiple version available (get the V1 to save the money, V2 is practically the same but slightly better video recording ability)⁣
⁣
⭐️Extra Zoom - 24mm-200mm F2.8-F4.5 helped closed the gaps on subjects. The zoom gave you another solid 25 meters of really useable distance that was a balance in quality. ⁣
⁣
⭐️Speed at 24 frames per second and fast auto focus. Also the cameras will put your burst shots in “groups” so every time you press the shutter button it “groups” the shots together. So three groups of 30 shots instead of going through 90 total frames it will only show you 3. Very nice feature. ⁣
⁣
⭐️Built in flash - Pops up and a decent fill flash if you like on camera flash. No hot shoe mount for other flash options. ⁣
⁣
⭐️Flip out screen - Helps with those unique angles and even selfies too!⁣
⁣
What’s not so great…⁣
❌Low light quality is awful, anytime you’re going over 800iso and over F2.8 it’s pretty tough. Some would say just bumping it back up in post editing by the grain is heavy. If you like that or don’t mind, skip over this point. ⁣
⁣
❌It’s VERY slippery in the hand, it feels like holding onto a bar of soap. Bring a wrist strap, or some kind of case of it to reduce this. ⁣
⁣
❌No built internal memory. Some point & shoot cameras have built in storage, this does not. So make sure you bring that memory card. ⁣
⁣
❌ Battery life I wouldn’t say is poor or great, at the end of the day you are looking to get ~200 shots out of this. Luckily batteries are cheap to get just pack a few extras if you are going out for the day. ⁣
⁣
Overall I’m very happy with this purchase, and will be the new travel camera moving forward. ⁣
