Best compact camera - preferably a Leica

[Mr Will]

If it's bigger than an RX100 then it's shooting itself in the foot massively. It instantly moves from pocket camera to requiring a bag or strap and that puts it up against a whole different set of competition.

Bloody threads - this has made my mind up to get an RX100 MK 3.

I have a 10 (approx) year old Canon 20D with canon 10-22 and 24-70L lenses. They are all as knew in condition. - anyone know what trade in value against the Sony would be?

Wex have given me excellent p/x recently. Including my 10-22 for about 400 iirc

Thanks I'll try them. Just tried UK Digital Cameras and was offered £390 (24-70) and £221 (10-22) for the lenses and £42 () for the body.

Steve, just so I can set my level of jealousy correctly, is that straight out of the camera or processed?

I added highlight and shadow, resized and sharpened. It pretty much took itself. The hardest thing was balancing on the rock I was standing on.

ETA, oh, and stopping my dog from jumping into the water destroying the reflection.

Cheers - as a dog owner myself I can sympathise!

If that's all the processing you did, that's one impressive piece of kit.

Not bad subject matter either

I was intending getting an RX100 III tomorrow.

Is that Canon a reason to postpone that purchase for now?

The RX100 III has the pop up electronic viewfinder which I have found actually really good in use.

Also, this is Canon's first pop at this kind of camera, and I'm sure it is very good, but I have personally had great success with the RX100 range and would prefer to stick to what I know.

I guess only the reviews will tell!

[anonymous-user]

Good point about the pop up EVF - is definitely something that appeals to me.

I guess at the end if the day I just want to take some cracking shots, and the Sony definitely delivers on that ability (think I'm the limiting factor there )

Partly influenced by this thread, I also bought an RX100 mk3 about a month or so ago, and am very happy with it.

The low light performance is fantastic and I rarely use the flash.

The pop up range finder works very well - and I love how just popping it up switches the camera on. And if you move your eye away from the range finder, the screen switches on, so you're always covered!

I still need to get a proper case for it - I bought the Gariz half case which is very nice and classy, but doesn't give it any protection. I do love how I can carry it in my pocket though, so any case must not make it too bulky.

[anonymous-user]

Well I just picked up my RX100 Mark 3!

Now got to read the manual (I always do) and start getting some pics done.

Feels lovely in the hand and very well made.

Get a screen protector! As per my example above the rear LCD seems to scratch VERY EASILY.

[Janesy B]

Canon late to the game as always, I'd still go for the Sony.

Here's one I took today with my new RX100III. So far very pleased with it.

Just ordered a Larmor one on Amazon - thanks for the heads up.

Already got a case

[carreauchompeur]

The Larmor one seems very good. If like me you start using it and think you can't see the screen anymore there's a 'bright sunlight' setting in the menu options which improves matters greatly.
