Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II

Pros: Superb (really superb) image and video quality (not tried raw yet, but claimed to be better), fully customisable menus, short learning curve, white balance setting can be easily optimised for taste, wifi connection to iphone lets you transfer the photos fast.
Cons: The viewfinder a little tiny and is not robustly built (may be mine has a problem), it is moving a little in its cradle, after a dslr experience, camera lacks the feel of connection,

if you are tired to carry your heavy dslr to everywhere, and your wife is complaining that you are not taking much photos of the kids as before, go for it.
please keep in mind that that you are purchasing a COMPACT camera (with a near dslr image quality) so you need to refresh your mind if you are an ex dlsr owner. No problem for first timers and compact users
also please do not take into account the battery life, as they all tend to compare with dslrs, which is unfair.

I've always heard about the Sony RX 100 M3 being THE best point-and-shoot camera so that my decision to buy it for my best friend. The main factor I wanted to get it for her was because she will be able to take selfies with her new baby girl and also so that she will be able to take more pictures since her iPhone storage is full.
So when she let me know the Sony RX100 M3 did not autorotate when taking a selfie rendered it pointless to me. It's quite difficult to take a selfie, upside down. We tried looking for answers googling it but no one has yet to have this problem. It just may have been the first RX100 M3 that did that. So I took my question to amazon where I received a response immediately from SONY (Thank you!). We tried the suggestion however, it didn't work after factory resetting the camera. The next option would be to send it back to get it fix, but instead decided to have it replaced. I requested a replacement to amazon.com yesterday (Sept. 8th), and to my amazement my friend received it today (Sept. 9th)!!!! I am VERY happy to report, that the second SONY RX 100 M3 works beautifully and auto rotates so quick for selfies!!!

I have used this camera and it captures beautiful pictures fast.

Thank you again amazon.com for an excellent experience and service without any hassle!!!!

So far everything from this seller looks great. Not knowing what to expect on the aftermarket items, my expectations were low. The batteries are all dated currently (2014). The camera case, while a tight fit, seems to hold everything - the camera, power cord/adapter, extra battery, memory cards. The car charger and tripod, obviously, will have to be packed elsewhere. The camera was in new packaging. I wasn't expecting, but received in this package, cut-to-fit LCD screen protectors. The only thing that was missing was that the 64GB memory card does not have it's own little plastic case, but a memory card wallet was provided. I just like the case for better protection. Shipping was prompt and email followup was as well. I'm still learning to use the camera, but it will hopefully make my safari memorable.

I'm only going to talk about the quality issues in my review, but the camera does take amazing pictures and is convenient because of its small size.

I've purchased three of these cameras (first from Sony Store online, second from Sony Store in NYC, and third from Amazon). I can say that the construction varied from one to the next. The first one had a solid EVF that would pop up smoothly and lock into place. However, it had some manufacturing defect on the lens that looked like the glass was scratched on some interior lens element. I returned this one and purchased another. The second one also had this same defect on the same spot of the lens (bottom left as you face the front of the camera). Its EVF didn't lock into place when you popped it up, instead you had to pull it the rest of the way up before you could slide it forward. I returned this camera too because of the lens issue again. The third camera didn't have the issue with the lens, but like the second the EVF wasn't as springy and needed a little help to get all the way up to where you could slide out the eye piece. Otherwise it's fine, and I'm happy with it. I just wish there was more quality control for such an expensive camera.

So, i had the MkII, which is all around an amazing camera, no question..
that being said.. i'm a photographer.. so i like looking through a viewfinder.. so the second I realized this new model had an electronic viewfinder I knew I had to have it. I then soon found out that it shoots video using the the new XAVC S codec which is a 50mb/ps "less compressed" Codec that's been around for a while, but gives canon and nikon a run for their money with their standard super compressed PhotoJpg-compressed-as-fuck video ... that looks amazing under perfect circumstances.. This new model also has a 180 degree LCD which means my wife can FINALLY take those selfies and get them perfect ALMOST every time because she can finally see her own face without shining her cellphone flash into the mirror. Furthermore, this camera has a 24-70mm Lens (compared to the previous.. (im guessing here) 20-110mm lens at f1.8-4.9.. (not guessing about the f-stop on the lens) so on the lens alone, this is a humongous upgrade - in Canon standards this is the difference between a $799 and a $1600 lens.
Anyways, these are the major differences between the 2 cameras. I think the new model is most definitely worth the additional $200, but it's obviously a question of circumstance.

Like most camera manufactures Sony tells you not to use this camera in high humidity or not to get it wet... well, they mean it! I was shooting in a very light drizzle and the next day the camera would not turn on. Apparently, there is zero weather sealing, and moisture has no problem getting in. When I connected the battery charger to the camera the morning after, the camera charger light would not even light up, so i took it back to the a camera shop where I bought it. They couldn't get the camera to work either, so now, it is on it's way back to Sony, to see if they can work some magic on it. Hopefully I didn't fry the circuitry, and they can fix it. Other than this bit of stupidity on my part, the RX100M2 packs a lot in a very small package, and is an excellent choice for a pro or advanced amateur needing a truly pocketable walk-around camera.

...in fact, despite the fact the RX100M3 actually fits comfortably in a pants pocket, jacket pocket, or shirt pocket, its one of the best cameras anyone has made at any size. I'm a landscape photographer, and the superb pop-up eyepiece viewfinder puts this pocket camera in a class by itself. It virtually eliminates the difficulties associated with shooting outdoors in bright light while relying on a flat display screen. Combined with Sony's new processor, which is virtually identical to that on Sony's excellent RX10 and A6000 cameras, and coupled with a new highly efficient (f1.8-2.8) lens, this little widget's relatively large sensor produces shockingly sharp images with unsurpassed color realism. The image stabilization is so good I find I can get finely focused hand-held shots even at shutter speeds as low as 1/15. The smooth motorized zoom on the 24-70mm lens is great for stills and ideal for movies. I often shoot in manual mode, and using the large, easy to handle ring on the lens to adjust aperture (while the viewfinder displays the precise results in real time) is simply a joy: the experience is so intuitive. I bought the first generation RX100 when it was released and though image quality was impressive I found myself wishing it had an electronic eyepiece viewfinder (like the A77 and A99's I was using at the time.) That wish has been fulfilled with the third-generation RX100M3. My highly valued iPhone 5s (a capable camera to be sure) is getting increasingly nervous the longer I write, so I'll quit now.

This is my second camera. The first one was model DSC-RX100, I really like the camera, but it was a rebuilt camera and some of the features where not to my satisfaction and consequently I was forced to return it. I decided to buy this new model because of the added special effect features and the WI-FI capability, unfortunately I haven't been successful to make it work and its one of the reasons that I removed one star. The other reason is the owner's manual. Sony didn't put a big effort when they created the operational manual, it's just NOT COMPLE it seems, and what limited info it has is a bit confusing. But all and all its a good travel high quality camera that I take everywhere I go. I got a handle with the settings (I'm a manual setting geek) but still learning. Another problem is the gripping of the camera itself. I know that its size limits added features, but Sony Engineering need to work hard in finding a way and come up with a rubber grip into the right body of the camera.
I hope this information helps.

Great image quality in both low light and outdoors. Both construction and design are both tops The new DSP and sensor are amazing togeather and allow for all the new formats for video as well as real burst shooting of photos in both RAW and JPEG. Virtually no shutter lag (.8 seconds) as in most pocket sized point & shoot models. Everything that displays on the rear LCD screen is also displayed in the EVF and the 3" LCD shuts off automatically when your face touches the screen when using the EVF as well. I highly recommend getting the MAGfilter circular polarizing filter to eliminate reflected harsh light and the protective case only adds a few MM to the overall size so it's still a pocketable camera.only slightly thicker than an Iphone and still protected from dings, dents and scratches.. One drawback is the thin wriststrap but if you get the case, you can install a really fine wrist strap from Joby that will secure both the camera to the case and also securely to your wrist. Sony supplies small loops for the securing of the case to the camera and the metal stays on the case can support a good JOBY wrist strap (almost a "must have" if you have large hands and fingers).
This model comes in second to the $7000 Leica for quality and performance in the point & shoot category at 1/10th the price. I got this camera to replace the old Nikon S-8300 for my wife and she's thrilled with the performance and features.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II compact camera offers a few worthwhile upgrades when compared with the original RX100.

PROS
Excellent high ISO performance. 1-inch image sensor. Wide aperture lens. Customizable controls. Large, tilting LCD. Minimal shutter lag. Raw image capture. Wi-Fi. Hot shoe with EVF support.

CONS
Limited zoom range. In-camera battery charging only. Could be sharper at the edges of the frame at 28mm.

A good camera offering sharp raw images, but still worth comparing to this Fujifilm Camera here: http://amzn.to/1GMlwPO

The Sony RX100-Miii is truly the most amazing camera I have ever owned. I have only had it a few days, but am blown away by its low-light ability and the quality of the images it produces. Yes, it is expensive, but no other small camera has same combination of features, so, yes, it is certainly worth the money. But there is a steep learning curve to truly master the camera and take advantage of its many creative capabilities. I recommend the book "Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100iii" by Alexander White, available on Kindle at the moment for $7.99. If you only need a little camera to keep in Auto mode all the time, save your money and get something cheaper.

I bought this camera with really big expectations over the image quality and i wasn't dissapointed, this camera really takes good pictures in any condition day/night. Its really useful to be able to tilt up the flash and bounce it against the ceiling to achieve difuse flash light. Also it records good video at 1080p and had no problem editing it.

The problems appear with the build quality. I always keep the camera in the case and i have never let it fall, but after 3 months of casual use the camera shows on every picture a black spot on the top right side. The bigger the F value the more clear spot its visible after
F5.3 its becomes more visible. I read only on how to fix this online and there are several cases reported of a faulty error called dust/oil spots, so mine was on of them so its annoying to remove the spot on every picture I take and on a camera this size its kind of impossible to repair.

Another big inconvinient its the battery indicator its pointless to have one if only show two states full/empty, being empty the shortest state signal you can get on screen and it costs me a 64Gb card cause i was filming video, the Rx100 damage the FAT structure of my SD and made it completly useless, and lost some money on the process.

This camera has everything I've ever wanted in a compact.

Legitimate viewfinder, full manual controls, fast lens, fast frame rate (10fps+!) and it's very small and light weight.

It's the camera I've been waiting for since digital cameras came out. (no joke - there isn't another digital camera on the market that comes even CLOSE to offering what the RX100 III does.)

It has officially replaced my Canon 5d3 setup for travel.

Excellent as an underwater camera as well (with use of Nauticam underwater housing, of course).

Jury is out...lens cover doesn't open fully...
I received this camera for Christmas. After doing a lot of research, I decided this was the camera I wanted. It worked fine the first day, then I took photos and couldn't understand why there was black shading at the upper right and lower left hand corners of the photo. I discovered that the lens cover was no longer fully opening. I returned the camera to Amazon and received a replacement. I didn't even have 1 good day with the second one! Again, the lens cover does not fully open. I don't want to be putting my fingers on the moving cover to force them open. So, I'm hoping this is not an $800 mistake, as I haven't had the pleasure of seeing what this camera is capable of.

Had the original 100, and this is a step up in all ways except zoom length. As with my first one... Extraordinarily sharp, clear, detailed and saturated photos, faster shot to shot and better low light performance. Little heavier, little thicker, very well made. I would easily have given up the EVF for a touchscreen... I suspect Sony knows that by now, and i have no doubt it sill be on the next model. Cons: The flash is now a manually actuated pop up, even when forced "on" in the menu, which seems dumb... and not well thought out, especially since the menu hasn't changed. Why have a forced flash menu option when you have to manually pop it up? Form factor still REQUIRES the addition of the rubber grip, or you WILL drop it. How Sony got that one wrong is a true mystery. That being said, yes... I ditched my Nikon D7000 and lenses and could not be more happy, not to be lugging it all around. Under almost every circumstance, you cannot tell the difference between the DSLR shots and the Sony. I have been a photographer for 40 years, and this is the first real game changer that made me ditch all the gear... Its just not necessary any more. I fully understand that this is a subjective review, not technical. If you need that, there are many technical online reviews that come to the same conclusion. You will not be disappointed.

This camera is simply fantastic! My wife and I are point and shoot photographers, but we wanted something that took better photos than our cell phones. This camera takes better pictures than her giant Sony DSLR. And we're more likely to take the picture, because she just carries it around in her purse! It's a little awkward with the flash where I am accumstomed to put fingers from my left hand, but i'm adapting. I think the RX100 III corrected this. WiFi connectivity works, but we find it to be slow. If you just find your USB cable in the desk drawer where you left it, you can transfer via cable really fast.

It's an expensive camera, but it takes truly wonderful photos.

I don't really recommend the package deals from Focus, though. Most of the extras are worthless and there is a real question about exactly what Focus is going to send you. The only thing of value to me in the package was the high capacity battery.

Looks nice, good fit. Poppers could be a little more firm in their snap (or the cover could do with a retainer as- when one popper is unpopped, the oter one ususally follows suit without assistance from me and the front over then falls to the floor.

I also doubt that the case is actually leather. And it does smell a bit wierd. And the case is too close on the right to allow the USB to plug into the camera with it still in the case - I might shave a millimetre off of the case because that's all it'd take. But...

I'm hoping the smell will fade, the strap's a good length, it protects the camera, it was nicely packaged in a felt type bag with a cleaning cloth and it looks good.

Although I purchased this really as a camera for taking still photos which by the way are just stunning, it works very well as a camcorder. In fact it works better than my dedicated Full HD Panasonic camcorder. I've filmed videos simultaneously with both and side by side comparison shows that the Sony camera does a better job. Only advantage the panasonic camcorder has is the superior zoom. As a camcorder it is much superior to some DSLRs I've used such as Canon Rebel T5i which have a hard time auto focusing but not the Sony - its auto focus is quick and accurate.

Now as for the photos, this is by far the best compact camera I've ever used. I still use a DSLR for special occasions especially where higher zoom is needed but for all other photo taking I use this. Much more convenient than lugging around a bulky DSLR and still have the confidence that you will get great shots and on par with more expensive DSLRs.

I also purchased a relatively cheap Neewer flash TT560 and this works great with the Sony. Only drawback is that it still tries to use the built-in flash which the external flash blocks from fully popping up. However, this does affect the firing of the external flash. Good for situations where you need a stronger flash. I also have the Neewer 160 LED CN-160 light for video filming indoors and also greatly compliments this sony camera.

I waited patiently for 2 months to receive what is now the third version of the RX100. I read everything about it that I could ahead of time and recognize that this is a camera enthusiasts dream. All of the other reviews focus on the positives of the camera so no need to repeat that except to say that the build quality is excellent, the software nearly perfect and the image quality just stellar for its size. It's a technological marvel.

But, after using the camera for just a brief time, I realized that I just cannot live with the immensely small (2.9x) zoom. It's even less than the last version. As good as this camera is and as spectacular as the image quality ends up being, the camera is just not practical for me without more optical zoom. It barely zooms which essentially means you have to be right up on your subject which, for me, means missing out on many shots.

I get that Sony made tradeoffs to get such stellar picture quality in such a form factor and my hats off to them for their remarkable advances. But, for me, I realized after using the camera briefly that I'd happily trade slightly less quality for much longer range. Most compact cameras nowadays have outstanding picture quality at longer distances.

I'm sure many will be extremely happy with this camera, and there's a lot to like about it, but it's just not for me.

Recently I went on a week-long college tour with my daughter. The RX100M3 was the perfect camera to bring along.

I didn't even consider taking my D800. Even without its grip and with a 50mm prime, it was too big, too heavy, and too 'there' all the time. I adore the D800, but this was an on-your-feet, strolling in and out of buildings, across quads, and past athletic fields for hours at a time kind of day.

So I bought the RX100M3. Fits right in my pants pocket. Not jeans, but khakis. I'd forget it was there, until I wanted a shot. Then I'd pull it out, get the shot, and tuck it away again.

Plenty of battery life, so I had enough juice for multiple college visits in one day. Including the 'scene setter' shots of the towns they were located in.

At the end of the day, the image quality was excellent. Just plain excellent. It handled a variety of mixed-lighting shots, landscapes, lecture halls, dorm rooms, architecture, and interiors.

My D800 would probably have done better. But for a level playing field I would have had to bring the 24-70mm...which would have excelled. But then? The trips would have been more about the camera than the schools....and that was not what I wanted.

Very happy with this little travel companion.

Been using this camera for a few months and still loving this little monster. Everyone says wow after seeing the photos. The built in wifi makes it very useful for sharing photos but I find myself use more for controlling the camera from my phone. No need Bluetooth dongle when you can use your phone as a shutter or focus point to take a selfie or group photo.

Start up time is also quick. I find myself use this more often than my iPhone 6 plus. (Though I transfer the photos instantly to my phone then doing some photo editing on my phone before sharing them on social networks.

Totally recommend the RX100 Mark 3 to people who want quality photos but concern about portability with DSLR. Combine this with Adobe Lightroom and I'm sure you'll be pleased.

This camera is really good at everything. For someone whom is really good at taking photos it makes you really great; for someone who is bad at taking photos it can make you good. It is expensive, but it is worth the price.

Pros-
Easy of use, low light capabilities, WIFI and NFC, resolution, viewfinder, display, flash, and almost everything!

Cons-
The camera is a little heavy (but just for a point and shoot), price (but worth it), it is a little big for a point and shoot (but again it takes pictures like a high end camera)

For me this camera is the best of both worlds. It takes high end pictures in a point and shoot size. The greatest thing about this camera is that I do not have to ever connect it to anything. I have a spare battery and a cradle charger, so no plugging it in to charge. I have the NFC and WIFI setup so that I can wirelessly send pictures to any of my computers or phones, so no connecting to transfer photos. That in itself makes the premium price very worthwhile for me.

PS - I bought the Amazon package deal with a memory card and some other extras. As far as I know this product is fixed price point. It is hard to find it for less than retail price.

This case for the Sony RX100 II fits the camera perfectly and provides all the protection one could want from a glove type case. The top half is completely removable if desired (held on by two sturdy snaps), or it can be left on while taking photos without a problem (I personally remove it while actively taking shots) though it might slow you down a bit keeping it out of the way of the lens as it swings freely. Also, taking the top half off when not transporting contributes to the overall handling and diminutive appearance of this wonderful little camera. If you're familiar with the old leather camera cases from earlier decades, especially the 40's and 50's, this will certainly seem reminiscent. The overall design and implementation of features is very well executed and should satisfy just about anyone interested in protecting their valuable camera with a retro style case that will add a touch of sophistication to their Sony RX100 II. It has elicited several positive comments from those who have seen it attached to my camera. This case will not fit over the optional grip (from Sony and other third party vendors) that can be attached to the RX100 II, but I've found that once this case is placed on the camera it provides a very positive grip that allows for secure one-hand operation. One note regarding materials used however. The case is described as "Dark Brown Leather Camera Case." The case is not true leather but a synthetic material which, in my view, is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing and may actually prove more durable in the long run. I would enthusiastically recommend this case both for its stylish appearance and excellent protective value.

I will confine most of my remarks to the viefinder in this camera There are a lot of small cameras that have high quality features (for example the first two versions of this camera). Bust most of them do not have an eye-level viewfinder. The few that have eye-level finders do not have ones of the high quality and accuracy of this electronis finder. Not only is this finder accurate, but it collapses into the body for storage and "pops up" for use. It has diopter adjustment and has a sensor that swiches from the screen on the back to the eye-level finder when the camera is brought next to the face. In addition the screen on the back tilts to allow shooting at very high or very low angles. The lens is designed by Zeiss and is of very high quality, equivalent to 24-70mm. The "one inch" sensor is much larger that usually found in cameras this size. In short it is my favorite small camera and I have had a lot of them!
