I have all the DSLR gubbins, which I take out once a week (ish), but I have a Sony a6300 with a prime lens in my jacket pocket every time I'm out. Most of my photos now taken with the smaller Sony. It's better image quality than the RX100, (DX sensor), but still needs a decent size jacket pocket!
(When I don't have a jacket, the RX100 sits in my jeans pocket - and lives in my car)
Is the 6300 PQ the same as the DSLR?(When I don't have a jacket, the RX100 sits in my jeans pocket - and lives in my car)
And how does the smaller Sony with it's fixed lens compare ?

What do you want to "change", Ed?
would the grass be greener in a different sensor?
Pretty much what I'm hoping to work out. Ideally I'd get a full frame & enjoy the benefits of that.. but size & £ go against that. So wondering what other sensors achieve. Do like the idea of a smaller 'does the lot in your pocket' camera. The smaller Sony allows the little flash to bounce - something I'm amazed they dont all do. I refuse to arm flashes that cant be directed, as the results are just nasty & everyone's blinded.would the grass be greener in a different sensor?

Cheers. What's your view on bigger DSLR vs the Sony?rich888 said:
The major differences I have noticed between the 700D and the RX100 M3 are in the level of blurred background (Bokeh) that can be easily achieved with the 700D when fitted with the relatively inexpensive Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. I recently attended a wedding and managed to take some photos with the 700D which I was mighty pleased with. The RX100M3 also excelled itself at the do afterwards in lower light conditions when I didn't want to be lugging the DSLR around in, but the level of blurred out backgrounds was very poor.
I've got that same F1.8 lens & love a good bokeh shot. From your excellent posting I'm now thinking the small Sony isnt for me in that case.Seems to boil down to the old car line 'there's no replacement for displacement' and a small camera wont satisfy after my 100D.

I do but it's purely a hobby camera.. the earlier one may well but a good first step into FF without breaking the bank?

If the OP doesn't want to spend on the A7 body, you can pick up the A6000 for about £340 on eBay which is a bargain, and a bit smaller again than the A7.
I've bookmarked a couple of MkI A7 with kit lenses on the Bay.. if they dont go up too high I'll save a punt. Think whatever I end up with, if it's not got a large sensor giving good bokeh I'll end up dissatisfied . Looks like a small camera wont be as good as my 100D so what's the point.
