David, thank you for dilligently continuing to avoid my question whether such performing camera is doing it's job based on criteria you yourself provided. You didn't answer that question here to me but maybe you will to yourself one day. Depending on how special the shot will be.ZoranC, thank you for being diligent on running all sorts of tests and finding all the faults of the camera, and I hope you will report your findings to Sony so RX200 will be that much better. I'm a lost cause, I'm afraid, because I have not even noticed any problems before you reported them, and I don't think I will tomorrow because I'm simply not that critical of it.
To me, the camera has a combination of traits that I like:
- small, pocketable, take anywhere
- acceptable zoom range to cover basic wide and tele
- fast enough to create some bokeh when I want it
- fast enough auto-focus
You'll see none of them require the RX100 to be the best in that category, and I'm willing to accept some faults if it means that all my requests are served. I will not be looking at these pictures in 100% pixels, I will not be printing them big for a gallery, I'll probably continue to accept JPGs instead of RAWs, I'll play with silly effects/modes, and you know what, I'll be happy, too.
Cameras are fun. Except when they get in your way.I thought cameras are fun?
my apologies... with an image of a wet dandelion, about 1:2 crop:Jeez, you guys, this thread is really getting boring!!
HI ThereJono,
In the great scheme of things aint it just a drop in the ocean.
I've been trying close ups from afar with lens on full zoom, tho' this is heavy cropping.

HI ThorkilHuman nature is and will always be contradictory.
But ability to step back and be humble and letting it go is always valuable.

:ROTFL: Speaking of which, did they get Zoran first? he seems to have evaporated.Biggles on the final sortie of the day, this time on the search for the elusive spherical aberrations of doom.
:ROTFL: he seems to have evaporated.
Happily I think he managed to limp back to base; let's hope he'll be back soon and we can all be friends again.
