Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros:__________ - Taking a picture, it understands the depth of where your main point (or person) is, which makes taking a picture quicker than most of its competitors. - 24 fps with AF and AE makes taking any picture enough to be a short 5.k resolution movie clip. - Videos come out as Ultra HD ( 5028 X 2929 pixel) - Phase detection is a great asset as its autofocus makes sure that the target on screen doesn’t get missed out when taking 4k videos. - The screen becomes very effective with its 180-degree flip and its 45-degree downward tilt option. - Almost identical to its last two or three versions in size and built. - Noise reduction and sharpening are still best in the market. - I was able to immediately playback 24 fps round without waiting for time to load (kickass processor). There will be no waiting time when you want to view your photos. - Can run off USB power if your battery is low (good for those who want to use this as a time-lapse). - There are so many options regarding different forms of autofocus as the sensors are programmed to automatically target those about to be shot. The whole point of this camera is for it to do all the work and for you to just snap the photo. - Flash and Popup viewfinder are always a benefit to have. - You will be able to fit this in your pocket. - One of the smallest devices out there regarding shooting in 4k. - There is no loading phase when turning it on or off. The moment you turn it on its ready to go. - Its mobile app allows you to use your phone as a remote control as well as transfer your photos and videos freely to your smartphone (The time of transfer depends on a number of images and how long your videos are, especially in 4k). - The Face Detection option is able to adjust focus, distinguish between children and adults, and overall one of many options this camera has regarding auto focusing. - HDMI Outlet - Overall great advance options for professionals. Cons and Oks:__________ - No Touchscreen - Lock on auto focus is not 100% accurate. - Lack of touchscreen makes autofocus such a pain in the ass because you need to start pressing more buttons to find the autofocus program you want, causing your camera to shake. - Lack of customization of the buttons and dials, what you buy, basically, you can’t change. - Compare to its competitors (Canon and Panasonic) the battery life is poor for those who want to use this in your professional work. I took 1600 raw / jpegs and a couple of 4k 60 sec videos and I needed to replace it. - Want to save battery life, you need to physically remove the battery from the camera, (it will drain even when it’s off). - No grip, very smooth and slippery like the iPhone 7. You always feel like you’re about to drop it. - The LCD panel is the same as the first RX100 version. - No control ring as, like many others, there is a click and unclick when switching lenses. - Lack of customization you most likely always have to dig into the menu to find what you need. - When the buffer is clearing on your card you can’t go back and review your picture. - Still, the RX100 doesn’t have an in-camera raw processing before you want to transfer them over. - Five minutes on 4k will lead to the camera to overheat or gets close to it. - Lens reach is not that great, enough to put it up on this list. - Comes with a cable and wall adapter but no external charger. Just makes it more difficult in finding a place to charge the camera. - Some, not all, autofocus programs are almost identical to one another. - Getting a case for this will not fit in my pocket, sucks knowing you have to put a $1000 in your pocket without protection. - Only shoot videos you’ll probably get around 20 minutes of battery life (maybe 30 if their short videos). - 4k is limited to 5 minutes. - No microphone jack. - No interchangeable lens, you stick what you get. Bottom Line:__________ This is not going to be your everyday camera. It’s going to be a birthday, wedding, family moment camera. The RX100 is one of the smallest cameras to produce 4k video and that’s something even its competitors can’t do. It’s obvious, with the price, you're getting top of the line quality but the price also needs to take into account the experience of using it. The design is relatively the same size in dimension from its predecessors and the big red marks on this is the low battery life and no touchscreen. You will need to buy extra batteries if you want film clips and take pictures in 4k as the battery will die quickly. A touchscreen, from my experience, makes autofocuing so much easier as all you need to do is touch where you want it to be. The Autofocusing programs on this device have a setting for everyone, it will indeed take some time to get used to the button layout. Overall, from my testing, I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars. You’re getting one of the best in image quality and 4k filming that you can fit in your pocket but this is definitely not for everyone. For me cameras like the Canon’s G7 X Mark 2 (And some Panasonic cameras) have touchscreens and have great battery life. The lens is not great for those in sports or looking for longer distant shots. Yes, nothing on the market right now can shoot 24fps nor 4k but you got to take the good and the bad. Verdict: special events will work perfectly but other than that, bring extra batteries. Hopefully, I was helpful to you all Love, Honest Reviewer.
