Case for Sony RX100 Mk3 ?

[sgrimshaw]

Finally making the leap and buying the RX100 Mk3.

Any recommendations for a case?

I do like the retro look of the Ever Ready Cases on Amazon eg:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E1TTXSQ?psc=1

but there seems conflicting reports as to whether they are a good fit for the Mk3.

Well, it's quite good and Sony are on their third iteration. Should be OK for a year or two. Short term there may be some issues with software support from non-Sony sources.



Does this help?

Park Cameras were giving the Sony one away with the camera. Fits well as you'd expect

I'm happy with the official Sony lcj-rxf In beige from an eBay seller in Hong Kong

I have the official Sony case from the Mk1 on the Mk3.

Have heard very impressive things about this camera. Would have one if I was after something like it.

I road tested it against my Nikon D7000 with a 50mm f1.8 Prime. To say its good is an understatement. I wish I could post some pictures but the detail would be lost in posting.

Heard that. Alot of landscape togs are taking it as a spare setup - and not disappointed at all that it is the fall back system.

One Nikon, One Sony, Both JPG straight from camera, no processing just a bit of cropping to get below 2M. Taken at the same time.

Thanks for the link, I purchased one of these cases for my Canon S100 which was a little smaller than the RX100 Mk1 and wasn't aware that a slightly larger version was available.

I bought the RX100 Mk1 with the genuine Sony leather case, worth £40 and a 8Gb card for £259 from CameraWorld, saved a shed load on the Mk3.

As GC stated the Mk1 case will fit the Mk3.

This from the Mk1: The butterfly was straight from the camera just cropped to square and the landscape was a late afternoon/evening hand held

Sony do a genuine leather case? I thought you had to go 3rd party to get leather. Heads to Google...

Yes - think it's £69 full price

Do you have a part number? All the Sony cases I found, including the one I bought ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Sony-LCJ-RXF-Premium...) are polyurethane, albeit with a convincing leather effect

Have a look

edit - the ebay one looks right but from HK, the amazon one is black. Personal choice I guess

They are "leatherette", ie polyurethane

My mistake - If Merc can use fake leather in some of the their cars I guess Sony can. They still feel pretty substantial and well made

[mikef]

Agree that they are solid, it's the same case I have
