Review on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II camera, black by Aneta Urbaska ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is the most common, it could be worse.

I bought this camera to replace Canon G15 (and before that I also had G7, G11, G12), and perhaps because I got used to the style of controlling Canon G cameras, but after several days of use, there was a rejection of the ill-conceived control of the RX-100, to too confusing menu, the video mode selection menu looks especially strange . Also: it is uncomfortable in the hand, it’s simply slippery, I had to buy a special rubber pad for it (I found it in one single place in Hong Kong for 1300) . well in general, I sold it after 2 weeks, then because of all this . Bottom line: all the pluses of the camera relate to the quality of the photography itself with this camera (it’s just gorgeous for a compact!), And the minuses - to the convenience of controlling it and the convenience of holding it in hands, which lubricates the whole impression of working with her .

Pros
  • - really great (unsurpassed) image quality for a class of pocket size cameras - unrivaled low noise for a pocket zoom camera - good sharpness across the field of the frame as a whole - great working (and not just marketing!) and delivering real results in-camera HDR mode - almost no delay descent
Cons
  • - an uncomfortable camera in general, both in terms of sensations in the hand and in control (in particular: - a slippery uncomfortable case, to which you can buy a special branded rubber pad, but in Hong Kong in June 2022 it cannot be found cheaper than for 1300 ) - a complex, illogically made menu that repels the desire to use the camera (for me personally) - brake mode for viewing already taken pictures - in HDR mode, for some reason, the self-timer is blocked, which makes it impossible to fully shoot night scenes in this mode . - no built-in ND filter - the white balance does not work well when shooting on the streets at dusk (almost 100 percent of the frames)
