Product Description
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III maintains the compact size of its predecessor, the DSC-RX100 II, and adds the new f/1.8-2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens with 24-70mm zoom. Along with a large 20.1MP Exmor R CMOS censor, this point-and-shoot is equipped with the BIONZ X processor typically found in Sony’s mirrorless cameras for speedier performance Read More
I'd jump on this, if it wasn't the international spec.
The RX100 line is a very well respected line of Sony Compact cameras. With a 1" sensor, it has better low light performance compared to many other compact cameras. There are currently 6 in production models of the RX100 line, from the MK 1 all the way to MK 6. Note the MK 5 was recently re-released as the MK 5A with some minor updates and the original MK 5 is no longer for sale.
Yes, the MK 3 is a bit old. Doesn't have all the fancy features of the newer generation, but still it is a solid camera, especially at this price point.
Is this drop for the II or the III. It says III in several places but under Endless Capabilities it says II. Also several of the 2018 discussions reference the II.
I'm new to photography and need a good EASY TO USE camera that I can take pictures of my fountain pens with, so highquality detailed/zoomable pix are a must, is this a good option? If not what is?
PenChick87Always hard to gauge how "easy to use" a camera will be for people. Some people can pick things up super quickly with little to no direction. Other's will still be lost with the simplest of menus.
I assume when you mean Zommable pix you mean that you can digitally zoom in and whatnot on a photo editing software. This camera takes 20MP images, which gives some flexibility in terms of post photo cropping. However, you also would need to consider the Macro Capabilities of the camera as well. Are you looking to take full body images of the pens or only specific parts?
