Sony RX100 VII

Hi

Sorry if it's been asked before but I cant find it in the search engine on the forum.

Does anyone use this and what do you think of it. I have the A9 but was thinking of it as a carry around back up.

I know there are reviews on the web but I am wondering what forum members think

 

Thanks in advance.

I got one as a replacement for my original RX100 which finally stopped working after 6 or 7 years.

It's a brilliant camera, particularly the Tracking autofocus. I took it on holiday to Cyprus as my only camera and was very pleased with the results. I shot RAW + jpeg and edited the raw in Lightroom on an iPad as an experiment. This worked great, but the jpegs are really nice so I might just use it as a jpeg camera for most purposes.

I  usually shoot A7RIII and A7III and I really like how the menus and capabilities are so similar across the cameras, makes it easy to switch between them.

Hi

Thanks for answering the question, does it focus closely?

I'm waiting for the RX100 mark 8, in hopes, that Sony offers an upgrade path to people who prefer a shorter and brighter lens, like the mark 5 had.

But with the chip shortages and many other economic issues, who knows when that might become available.

Fans of this powerful portable camera thought the RX100 mark 8 was overdue since 2019...
