Sony RX100VA (NEWEST VERSION) 20.1MP Digital Camera: RX100 V Cyber-shot Camera with Hybrid 0.05 AF, 24fps Shooting Speed & Wide 315 Phase Detection - 3” OLED Viewfinder & 24-70mm Zoom Lens - Wi-Fi

perfect

The title needs to be updated since this model is several versions old and not the latest model.

El sensor es muy bueno, y los colores son bastante vivos por sí mismos. Viniendo de un modelo más viejo, se nota bastante la mejora.

Much has been written about the Sony RX100 series on the internet, so I won't re-invent the wheel here. My background is about 30 years of professional and semi-professional photography. When I evaluate a camera after a few months of using it, I always ask myself the following question: Would you take this as your only camera on a year-long trip around the world? With the latest generation Sony RX100V, the answer is: Absolutely, yes! The image quality is excellent and can hold its own even compared to cameras with bigger sensors. The sensor has a remarkable dynamic range and the high ISO noise levels are comparable to full frame cameras a few years back the likes of a Nikon D700. And that's not bad! Overall I would not be afraid to publish photos out of the RX100V in any high-gloss magazine in any size. The image quality is good enough for any professional work. The camera has an overwhelming amount of functions for both still and video imagery. Fortunately, the camera can be customized to your taste and skill level. The menu system is cumbersome, but once you set the camera up to your liking, menus hardly have to be accessed. New in this version of the camera - and the main reason I bought it - is the ability to customize your own menu, which allows me to only see the functions I really need. The pop-up viewfinder is fantastic and unique for a camera is compact. The camera is really hard on the battery, so plan to buy 2-3 extras to get you through a full day of shooting. The other two items to get for this camera are: a) the additional hand grip, which Sony should include in the first place. b) a third party filter adapter which allows you to add filters like a polarizer. The Sony filter adapter does NOT work for this camera (it vignettes). Buy the Lensmate or Magfilter adapters. Now, before you shell out the cash for this rather expensive camera, you should keep in mind that the camera does not take the photos. You do. If you go to many image forums, you will find many bad and average photos taken with the Sony RX100 series. The reason for that is that people believe the sheer amount of functions in those little cameras can compensate for a lack of talent. They can't. If you are a novice or beginner, you should also set aside some money to take a camera course.

comes with a pro camera price tag to match but delivers on quality and functionality. if you're not familiar with the sony menu it may take you some time to familiarize yourself with it but for me, a long time sony shooter, it wasn't a problem. it's a great little b-cam that fits almost anywhere and gives you far more creative control than say an action cam.

Great camera

Update 7/30/19: So I went to Costco and bought a new memory card. The card is rated at the same speed as the one I bought from Amazon. Same slow write speed so I know that the camera is defective, not the memory card. This Sony disappointment is being returned to Amazon. Original Review: I did a lot of research before buying this camera and had high hopes. I am buying a small pocketable camera to replace my big, cumbersome Canon 30D. My main requirement was that it would take better pictures than my iPhone XS Max. If it doesn't, then there would be no point in having the camera since I always have my phone with me. The Good: Build quality seems solid. Form factor is amazing. This thing is tiny and can slip into most pockets. Great specifications compared to other point and shoot cameras. The Bad: The buttons are tiny. I have no problem with it but if you have large fingers, this could be a problem. No touchscreen so navigating the extensive menu is not that convenient. The Ugly: I don't know if I have a lemon or what, but this camera is not anything like what's been described in all the reviews. I will be returning it for a refund or a replacement. Autofocus is slow and not accurate. A bunch of my pics are blurry. My iPhone has better autofocus! Write speed is the slowest I've ever seen of any digital camera that I've owned dating back over 20 years. It is slow despite that fact that I'm using a SanDisk card that is rated for 170 MB/s. It takes about two or three seconds to write each image. This is simply not acceptable. The slowness made me lose some potentially great shots. will troubleshoot to see if the card is defective but for now, given the other troubles I'm having with the camera, I'm presuming it's the camera. Auto setting is simply disappointing. I haven't dug into the manual settings yet, but I am judging the camera based on auto function since the camera will be used by multiple members of my family, some of whom wouldn't know how to use manual functions. On auto, the camera is not very smart. I was taking a pic of my daughter with a relative bright background. My iPhone did a wonderful job allowing the pic to display my daughter's face clearly (although a bit dark) and the background clearly. With the Sony, my daughter's face was seen as clearly as with the iPhone but the background was completely white so I could not make out any details in the background. Hope this review helps. I'm hoping that I just got a lemon and that a replacement would fix all of the above described problems.
