Review on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II camera, black by Somsak Pornthip ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

In general, I really like the device! You fall in love, as they say, from the first frame))) Very acceptable photo quality and excellent video quality. Everything is quite convenient, adjusted for compactness, quickly, reliably, efficiently. Very nice to use! But. It's not some minor flaws that are inherent in any technique that are frustrating, but diametrically opposed inconsistencies in the same place, so to speak. For example: A beautiful lens that is fast at the beginning darkens incredibly quickly towards the end. The minimum focusing distance at a wide angle of 28-30mm is only 5cm and from 30-100mm immediately 50cm, which makes macro photography impossible. A wide aperture cannot be used in most situations in above-average light conditions due to the slowest shutter speed being too slow. A beautiful, bright, juicy, dense display with anti-reflective coating is scratched even with a fingernail. Sticking a film solves the problem of scratching and at the same time deprives the screen of anti-glare. If WiFi is available, remote control of photography is not possible. In general, for all of the above shortcomings, incompatibilities minus a point! And so - a great option like "I always take a photo-video camera with me"))) for those who are interested in quality too. PS - Yes, I almost forgot, there is a prototype of the "masterpiece" button, disguised as a shutter button! It is enough to turn on the camera, the brain, choose a good composition and the right settings, press this button and . voila - the masterpiece is ready! )))

Pros
  • Stylish. Compact. Quick. Zeiss lens. Large and modern matrix (compared to a soap dish). The ability to shoot in low light conditions without a flash with quite reasonable quality. An oblique flash that can be directed at the ceiling is a fairy tale. Hot shoe with multi-connector with the ability to install a viewfinder, microphone, flash. Tilting high quality display with anti-reflective coating. The abundance of automatic and manual modes. The presence of all modern chips and ruffles such as WiFi, NFC and more. And in general - okay tailored, tightly sewn.
Cons
  • The range of focal lengths is short, only 28-100. An excellent aperture ratio of 1.8 at the short end quickly drops to a telephoto position right up to 4.9. Indistinct work of auto focus in conjunction with the work of autofocus backlight in poor lighting. Uncomfortable grip. Very scratchy display. The minimum shutter speed of only 1/2022 is catastrophically high. Cannot control over WiFi with SonyPlayMemories. Close-ups are unrealistic due to the huge minimum focusing distance of 50cm at any position other than wide-angle. There is no standard thread for filters and a hood, an adapter is required. Lack of ated firmware from the manufacturer. Incredibly expensive accessories. (Viewfinder 15000r, mount for filters 1200r, pen-pad 600r).
