This is a decent camera, but for a bit more you can have the RX100 III, which is a great camera... primarily as it has an viewfinder (EVF) built in. Anyone who actively takes a lot of pictures will tell you that you might as well use your phone if you're trying to compose via a screen. Look for:
  • Solid image and video quality
  • Built-in Auto ND filter
  • Built-in EVF
  • Bright, sharp lens
  • Ergonomics significantly improved

bbissetWhere did you see the RX100 III for a little more than this? I can only find it for like 700-750

AfroJoshI apologise, AJ... I did mean $725ish. I recently paid $1500 for a Mark V, so I guess I was thinking in terms relative to that. That said, having a viewfinder is paramount for the type of photography I do... so a non-starter for me.

bbissetOh I see, no worries- I was thinking this could be a good compact camera for my mother who just wants nice point and shoot shots... the viewfinder was a good note though!

AfroJoshFor your mom? Get the 90... https://www.massdrop.com/buy/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-hx90v-digital-camera Has a viewfinder with a diopter adjustment so she can set it to her eye. Takes great photos and less than the RX100ii
