I had the G7X and RX100M3 at the same time and ended up selling the G7X, in large part because the image quality was very poor in the 24-28mm range compared to the RX100M3. But the lens on the ...

An RX100 isn't your only option for a 1" sensor pocket camera. Have you considered the Canon G7X or G9X?

The RX100M4 allows you to set a minimum shutter speed with AutoISO in the PASM modes. Although it comes at a cost too - literally (expensive!).

What you describe is 'normal' behaviour for the RX100's. You really have to take control to get the best out of them - not the best cameras to get the wife for Christmas to leave on Auto. I've ...

RX100M2 does have Center AF: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSCRX100M2_guide/en/contents/05/02/13/13.html The default 1/30 sec the RX100's default to is too slow for moving subjects, so I've ...

The RX100's charge via USB, so take a power bank with you. A fully charged 10000mah power bank will be able to charge the RX100 battery 8 times.

I wouldn't call it 'impressive'. Half the sensor is not utilized and you lose the wide angle - but it does work to your advantage if you want longer focal lengths.

This shows how ridiculous Sony's SUPER FINE JPG setting they have in some of their cameras, which are DOUBLE the size of normal JPG with no improvement in image quality.

200mm is a bit ambitious for steady hand-held video - you really need a tripod. There are various software/video editing packages that can stabilize video in post - you may want to investigate ...

The FZ1000 is a very good option if you are looking for longer focal lengths for video. It's 4K video uses a sensor crop, giving it an equivalent focal length of 37-592mm.

4K is 8MP, 1080p (Full HD) is 2MP. So shooting 4K on the RX10 II and cropping to 1080p in post will give you 400mm.

That's not true at all. This perspective distortion will occur with any gear and is not related to the barrel/pincushion distortion you get with some lenses. The effect here with the beer shot - ...

Just your typical RAW vs JPEG thread :-) Don't waste your time with Extra Fine JPEG. I've compared it to normal JPEG and can't see any benefits. I recommend you just shoot RAW + JPEG. This gives ...

If you want to get the best results without any effort in post-processing, I recommend CaptureOne Express for Sony . It's free and its Auto settings do a better job than Lightroom or DXO Optics Pro ...

My point is they still allow JPEGs to be edited, and it takes no longer to edit RAW than JPEG. And it does nothing to 'simplify life for publishers' as they just receive a JPEG in the...

Weird decision. My experience has been that it takes no more time to edit a RAW file than it does a JPEG.

In general I agree with you that the RX100M3 has the better lens. That's why I returned my G7X and kept my RX100M3. But I do maintain your example is not a fair comparison. The DOF difference ...

The G7X is f/2 so DOF will be shallower than the RX100M3 which is f/3.5 - that would explain the focus. The G7X lens does have a tendency to softness when both wide open and close to your subject - ...

I would be surprised if there is sample variation. I think the more likely explanation in the different videos you are looking at is in the amount of ambient noise. Not that you necessarily hear a ...

Well the recording level in these cameras is all automatic In quiet surroundings they will increase gain and it then you will be more likely to pickup internal camera noises. Here's a couple of ...
