Sony RX100 VII Premium Compact Camera with 1.0-Type Stacked CMOS Sensor (DSCRX100M7) with Vlogger Accessory Kit

I bought this to replace the older version V that I had owned for years....I dropped that one and the repair from Sony would cost almost as much as a new one. I decided to buy up to the version VII for its longer lens. I like Sony cameras so didn't consider competitors....I think Sony is still the only one with an eye viewfinder in this small a camera, since I use a lot on bright daylight. I knew this version was not as fast as my old one and therefore not as suited to low light work, but I hoped it would be good enough. I guess I am at this point disappointed....the zoom is nice, but I am getting more out of focus shots, and lighting is something to pay more attention to. I am learning to take more care with my shots....allow time to focus is the biggest issue. If I had it to do over, I would probably evaluate alternatives, especially if they have an eye viewfinder.

First off, for those who are not tech savvy, or do not need to use any of the convenience features like WiFi, Bluetooth, etc this camera is going to be fine. I give it an A+ for photos, and after all that is the main feature of a camera. Typical of Sony however - they put a lot of effort into building a world-class image sensor and camera electronics, but their software and support apps are literally worst-in-class. Its been that way for years - I thought at some point they would get it right but alas, it continues.I am a professional photographer - in general - we are less is more kind of users - and I suspect most of the amateur photogs are as well - so I could never understand why the menus are so complex. The menu system in this camera is HEINOUS - trying to navigate it in any kind of expedient fashion is next to impossible. Once set, its good to go but plan on a lot of time if you want to personalize it. Then there is the support for WiFi and Bluetooth. Its there, the ads make it sound like its a central feature to the camera - HA - good luck accessing it or making it work. Wireless file transfer to a Mac would be a great thing - I thought for sure this would finally work. It doesn't. The manual references apps that either no longer exist, or are in end of life and do not support current versions of Windows or MacOS. So even though the camera has Wifi - there is no real use for it it just eats up battery time if left on, so I disabled it.Finding the advanced manual online was a chore as well - the Sony website lists a manual for the RX100 - I never did find it at Sony, had to go through a 3rd party site. Again, total failure of execution.Sony should learn from other manufacturers (like Apple) that get it right - either include features that actually WORK, and verify them in your manuals and website - or don't include them at all. Advertising support for things like WiFi and Bluetooth is a downright LIE, they don't work, at least not without a lot of pain and frustration. I would doubt there are very few who actually get it working. I tried and I am *VERY* tech savvy.I would give this camera a 10 if the software actually worked and the menus were less complex. If I could wirelessly download photos to my Mac, or even conveniently transfer them via USB without fiddling with menus every time that would be a home run. Instead, I am stuck using this camera like I did all of my full body DSLRS - taking out the card every time and using an adaptor on my computer.Again - if all you want to do is take photos - this is probably the best image quality small camera out there right now. I am very pleased with it in that regard. At this price point, it is a bit beyond the reach of the average consumer though - I expect more. Working professionals want simple and compact too - there is a time and a place for it - but we also NEED the features like remote download and would gladly use them if they were there - making this purchase far more compelling.I am keeping the camera for my hobby / trip photography its still better than lugging around even a small mirrorless camera - I will just have to succumb to the fact that Sony's inept software team once again botched the job and made a future proof hardware product with outdated, klunky and poorly executed software. Crying shame.

I won't mention anything that you can possibly find from reading the description and I'm certainly not a professional photographer, more of an amateur but in order to preserve all my memories, I need my photos to look great.I currently own the Sony A7R III, with a preorder in place for the A7R IV, but since I travel pretty often, I wanted something that was a bit smaller. Small enough to fit in my pocket and not attract too much attention. The Sony A7R just looks expensive, and combined with the 24-70mm 2.8f it can get heavy after walking around a city for a couple of hours.This is my very first Sony compact camera so I can't compare it to any other, but what I can say is that it takes really great photos (at least outdoors in natural light). I'm attaching two that I took earlier of my cat and backyard. I've been playing around with the settings and from what I've gathered, even in manual mode, there was no way for me to make my fstop constant, although I could change my shutter speed, ISO etc. If there's a way I'm sure I'll find it, or I'd like to know how to do so.While the photos look amazing in the natural afternoon light, I also love the option of having a built-in dedicated flash although I personally don't ever use a flash. The photos look sharp in the camera and also once downloaded. So why did I give it 4 stars. Because of what it didn't have.Cons.1. Camera because of it's size can get real slippery after using for a while so I had to end up buying the attachment grip. While not overly expensive, it would have been great to have it, especially when you're paying over $1k for the camera itself.2. Sony didn't include a real battery charger, but instead one that connects to a USB so you technically have to plug it into your computer to charge. Since I have a new MacBook Pro that wasn't possible for me, so once again I had to spend money on a real charger.BTW, there is also no written manual. Besides those two major things above which were my biggest pet peeve, this is an amazing camera. I also purchased the shooting grip so I can take it with me and take my own pics without having to ask someone to do so, and also purchased the camera case.If you're looking for something REALLY compact, and you're tired of walking around with your mirrorless or DSLR, then I say get this. I'll update this if I run into any other issue along the way, but so far I'm loving it.Update: Took it on a trip to Portugal for a week and it performed as I expected, amazingly well. Battery life was good for a couple of hours after taking a few hundred photos, but I purchased another just to be on the safe side. I prefer shooting in Aperture Priority mode, so set the aperture and had everything else on auto and my photos all turned out great. I attached the camera grip and was able to take selfies without having to ask anyone to take my photo.Camera because of its size is the perfect travel camera and now I may just end up canceling my preorder for the M4. I was able to zoom in and out and camera all the details that I wanted to. I've attached a few more pics that I took, one of a statue at 24mm and another up close to get more details.I still, however, won't adjust my rating to a 5. Someone mentioned that they received a wall plug in their camera kit, but mine was missing thus the reason I had to purchase the battery charger. And once again after walking around for a while in the heat and holding this "tiny" camera, it does get slippery, so I recommend the attachment grip. I bought the cheap sony camera case for under $15 and it fit in there perfectly with the attached grip, extra battery with no issues.

This camera is a bit too expensive, but it is amazing. Even in a SmallRig cage it fit into my front pocket. I used a Peak Design strap with it. Photo quality and battery life were excellent. The viewfinder is a must-have. The only issue I had is that the viewfinder had strange scanlines. Even though this did not affect the photo taken, it made the image in the viewfinder more fuzzy and not as clear. I've attached a photo from another user that was able to capture the issue. Other owners said their RX100 VII did not have this issue, so in light of the cost, I had to return it as defective. I think I am going to replace it with the V model as it's half the price.

El tamaño de la cámara es muy cómodo para transportarla. Tiene una muy buena calidad de imagen. No incluye la memoria.Se siente sólida, sin embargo, su cuerpo es liso y sin agarre; eso me hizo sentirla insegura para traerla suelta en la mano por lo que, en cuanto la desempaqué, le puse una correa para el cuello que tenía guardada (o sea, solamente trae una pequeña correa para la mano y los aditamentos para poner la correa de cuello).Para conectar a la computadora hay que hacer algunos ajustes; no es nada más de conectar.No es barata, pero a mi gusto valió la pena la inversión.El manual que está en internet (porque no trae uno ni en papel ni en electrónico) no es muy bueno que digamos, de modo que busqué videos en youtube y me resolvieron algunas dudas.

This little camera from Sony is an awesome imaging device. Though it is sold as a point-and-shoot camera, it has full manual controls over settings. Some interesting facts about this camera are -1. It can shoot even in RAW-only mode.2. Impressive colour reproduction and dynamic range, particularly if one considers its small sensor size.3. Auto-focus system is very quick and accurate .4. Very high burst mode suitable for BIF or sports photography.There are some cons as well. They are1. High ISO performance is not so good.2. Changing settings occationally can become cumbersome.3. Buttons are too small to find out quickly.4. Price is a little high. Anything around 60K would have been appropriate.Overall, this pocket camera is good for someone who is starting photography and who travels a lot.

Once you can get your mind around the limitless possibilities in the settings you can take advantage of the fantastic lens sharpness that areLegendary for Zeiss lenses!A fantastic small compact camera with quality that can out perform many of the larger format rival brands.Although the camera Is expensive l do feel that is worth the money in my opinion!

Good camera in terms of auto focus, tracking subject. No other brand come to close when we talk about focusing. It's costly compare to other brands. 24 to 200 zoom range works good. If you have steady hand then this small masterpiece is for you. sony should provide some protector adaptor ring because once the power is on and you are ready to shoot your lens is totally expose to everthing. you again have to invest in separate adaptor ring with some uv filter to protect lens.Amazon you should rethink about your packaging while sending this fragile and expensive product from Calcutta to Mumbai. you just added normal one plastic bag on top of main box. no bubble wrap or air bags.... seriously?? you
