Guy Translator: I'll be $2,500 poorer soon, and hopefully live to tell the tale.Not bad
Reward the bold.Sony is on a market share warpath and you got love the aggressiveness as a end user. This is one big reason I switched over. Everyone else is stuck in the mud at least for now. Who knows what Photokinia will bring but some of us can't wait and need to eat today if you know what I mean. I can't wait for what's next I need now.
This hits the streets just about when I need it so I will rent it first and see how it flys.
Just out of curiosity, how does one easily attach a small external flash to the RM 100m3 without a hot shoe (besides the obvious, a bracket)? I wonder if they could have been creative and put a hot shoe on the top plate of the pop of flash (and of course one wouldn't pop up the "pop up flash" with a external flash attached on top of it).Not that its on my radar but even the RM100m3 looks like fun. Love the pop up EVF and for a pocket cam that is very nice.
fwiw I've been using the A7 and RX100ii and they are a great pair. I've only had two complaints with the RX100ii - no EVF (unless you want to use the external) and the lens slows quickly as you zoom. The new version fixes both of those. The 1" sensor punches above its weight, you've got a ring around the lens that you can use for MF, and it is small and silent. I wanted to like the a6000 but it didn't click with me. The RX100iii probably will.Not that its on my radar but even the RM100m3 looks like fun.

The RX100 III has an in-built ND filter. No need to muck about with external filters!A7S - Reasonable MSRP price, I will need to see how it compares against A7R with wider legacy lenses, if issues are gone I am getting it.
RX100 MK3 - Fast lens with no ND filter / filter mount? I am in SoCal! Lost flash shoe so we can keep that puny flash? No go for me.
I stand corrected, yes, it does have ND filter, that's what I get for reading DPR's comparison chart when too tired, they ordered columns from newest to oldest model and my brain subconsciously interpreted them in I, II, III order.The RX100 III has an in-built ND filter. No need to muck about with external filters!
That's why in my post "above", I ask why they couldn't be innovative and mounted a hot shoe on top of the built in flash so when it's not popped up, a small external flash can be attached.RX100 MK3 - Fast lens with no ND filter / filter mount?

I feel they should have just lost that pop up flash and put shoe there, it is unlikely that flash will be very usable so I don't feel anybody would miss it.That's why in my post "above", I ask why they couldn't be innovative and mounted a hot shoe on top of the built in flash so when it's not popped up, a small external flash can be attached.
