thx for sharing this, gives us a good insight on what the rx100 can do!

Anyone else here?

There is longer RX100 thread in the Small Sensor Forum

I know, but since this camera isn't really a "small sensor" camera doesn't it belong here?

More importantly I've been dying to start a "fun with" thread but someone always beats me to it!!

I did not say this maybe a wrong place. The sensor is neither tiny nor at least m43 :-). Also it is a P&S camera.

True. But the line between p&s and dslr and mirrorless is getting increasingly blurred. The fact that we can have a debate about where this camera belongs is a good illustration of that shift. Exciting times.

maybe we can call it a medium sensor, so maybe we need a medium sensor forum for the likes of nikon v1 and rx100

The 808 pureview is getting close to medium sensor status too hehe

I'm wondering how the RX100 will fare up against the Sigma DP2 Merrill when it is available.

In the meantime, I find my RX100 fun and useful. In fact I'd argue it is more useful day to day than the Nex-7, simply because of its size and near Nex-7 image quality:

Two recent ones





These were both RAW shots, decoded using the kludgy Sony decoder - look forward to ACR support

Quintin,

Thanks for posting your two beautiful photos.

This is a RX100 shot of SONY NEX-7 with Metabones Smart Adapter II mounted with a Canon EF 50/1.2L, it was set to ISO 200, manual exposure, f/10, 0.4s and flash set to slow sync automatic, focal length at 36mm.
By the way, the Smart Adapter is working with all the EF lenses I tried so far, except making a little noise each time pressing ths shutter for composition and focusing (using focus peaking) - the AF does not function yet - which might possible thru a firmware upgrade later, per Metabones.
The RX100 is fun to do many things.

Trying around some processing.

Some more. Really liking this camera.

Ran around some bridges today.

Took it for a jog in a padded Sony case and just held it in my fist. Worked very well.

I may pick up a TG-1 or something just because I'm not sure if constant jogging is great for the camera. A rugged camera might fare better.
