Excellent product, an upgrade on my previous Leica DLux. I bought it as I wanted the small form factor, but also wanted zoom telephoto, built in flash, excellent optics and best sensor size.

I have not been disappointed- fantastic focus times, great colour rendering and very sharp telephoto zoom shots of birds in my garden. Only disadvantages over my previously owned Leica are poorer battery life, and strange inability to bulk delete all images short of reformatting every time.

All the rest are pluses! I will start off by saying this camera takes great photos, is decent in low light, and AF is perfect. This is my second Rx100 M6 both had issues with fine dust specs entering into the lense. I used the recommend sony camera case. I also use a small lint brush to meticulously remove any fine particles from the camera and lense area before and after each use; but no matter what dust still gets in the lense.

NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $1200 CAMERA The 2nd flaw is the Pop up View finder Diopter Moves immediately after making adjustments.The Diopter adjusts the the EVF for your vision so you can see while using the EVF. If it is not adjusted properly your field of view inside the EVF will be blurred. When you close the Pop up viewfinder, the next time you pop it up the Diopter moves causing the view in the EVF to become blurry once again.

This eliminates the convenience so called upgrade of the 1 step pop up viewfinder. I dont care that the M6 doesn't have a mic jack but the other two flaws make this Camera almost useless. Many of the reviews have emphasized the zoom lens and the great video quality. As a professional still photographer, I rarely use video. The 24mm to 200mm has proven to be quite useful when shooting urban landscapes, but what I am really blown away by is the sharpness of the photographs (there seems little to no difference between the 24 megapixel ASP-C sensor and this 20.1 1' sensor) and the color rendition. I shoot RAW, and I have noticed I make very view adjustments to color in Lightroom.

The noise is also very light even at ISO 1000, which I shoot below as much as possible. The blues, yellows, and reds are particularly good. Yes, the camera is expensive, but it so portable.

Because of the image quality, I feel less guilty leaving my full frame at home when I am out and about and want a serious camera with me at all times. Just to set the scene - I'm an amateur photographer who uses an A7mk 2, along with a number of G Lenses. Previously, my preferred travel camera was the hugely impressive RX10 mk 3, down simply to that incredible focal length of 24 - 600mm. The reason I bought the RX100M6 was an impending USA road trip where I had would be visiting the 'Real America' - New Orleans, Memphis and Nashville. I wanted a camera that would give great image quality but could be tucked away in 'dodgy' areas. The RX100M6 certainly delivers in both areas, image quality is absolutely incredible, better than my RX10 by a country mile in terms of sharpness and colour rendition.

I've been shooting in RAW & JPEG, but to be honest the JPEGs are so good I'll probably ditch the RAW files. I've attached a few images from my American road trip which hopefully will illustrate my point. I know it's an expensive camera, but it's expensive for a reason, it's bloody good! Just hit the buy button, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Dsc-rx100m6 Help Guide Software For Mac Mac

Bought this camera a month ago to replace my SONY Alpha 6000 as I now prefer to travel light. Has been waiting for such a compact.

The camera form factor is small and hard to grip so I bought the shooting grip VCT-SGR1 to have a better hold as I have a bigger palms and indeed it is a well worth purchase. Overall, the camera performed well but a few small points that I do not quite like are: 1. As in with the 6000, the colour still trend towards more reddish and yellowish, making it less natural. The time it takes to save a photo is too long, even on a class 10, 95 MB/s SD card.

The shutting down of the camera is also taking too long. The M6 is my 3rd RX100, bought for the Oz trip with the longer reach of the 24-200 lens in mind. In bright conditions at wide & medium apertures it is OK, but nowhere near as good as the M3 I also took on the trip.

Stop the aperture right down and resolution drops off. In low light the image quality drops off significantly, ditto from ISO 400 upwards. As a consequence I only use it on very bright days, fairly wide open and with as low an ISO as I can getaway with. The M6 is one very compromised camera, quite how I will get on when I get back to winter in the UK I cannot.

Maybe I can, it will go in the drawer until next summer when it will be make or break. Break = eBay. Bought about 2 months ago, and although this Compact Version Full Pixel does all it should with regards to the Latest and Greatest, it lacks the Specs offered, which was a disappointment (17mp vs quoted 21mp). But all in all, the performance is par to none I have owned thus far, for a Compact 4K Capture/Digital Still Camera of this calbre. Menu is a bit clunky, and has a moderate learning curve, until you Speak Sony operative.

This, in which I pray they update with firmware soon, as the Sony Memories Android/iOS Sony app is DOA, with never a connect over wifi or NFC, just dismal, and sad. As my mobile devices are a iPX and GS9+, so it is a head scratcher. But I am surprised at the focus speed and capture is as agile and precise as one could dream of, but the optical zoom is a downer, and just sad. I have an old Samsung Galaxy Cam 2 with 21x optical, and this is half that, and that ain't right.BUT, I'm keeping it cause it's a sweet little honey, and I love it for what it is.Super Quality, Tight Ops, with all it's flaws.plus I kept it a little too long.:P Enjoy! It's a winner, actually, give it a try.!! I will start off by saying this camera takes great photos, is decent in low light, and AF is perfect. This is my second Rx100 M6 both had issues with fine dust specs entering into the lense.

I used the recommend sony camera case. I also use a small lint brush to meticulously remove any fine particles from the camera and lense area before and after each use; but no matter what dust still gets in the lense. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A $1200 CAMERA The 2nd flaw is the Pop up View finder Diopter Moves immediately after making adjustments.The Diopter adjusts the the EVF for your vision so you can see while using the EVF.

This eliminates the convenience so called upgrade of the 1 step pop up viewfinder. I dont care that the M6 doesn't have a mic jack but the other two flaws make this Camera almost useless. As many reviews pointed out the camera is very good - its also expensive and perhaps something a camera-enthusiast might buy specifically because of the portability. It could be better in low light, one of the reasons I bought this camera is because of how bad mobile phone cameras are in low light scenarios and I would never drag a huge DSLR camera and lens around. But as far as portability goes the RX100M6 is close to perfect.

HOWEVER, I will only give the RX100M6 / VI because of the inferior software. 1) the mobile app only has the absolute basic - no time-lapse you will need to buy an external remote control instead this could easily be improved upon. 2) The connectivity to mobile devices and laptops is full of bugs, for instance, I haven't been able to transfer photos wirelessly to my laptop (i am on a MAC) the guide process tells me the camera isn't connected although I am in process of transferring photos via USB. There are several posts online regarding this issue. 3) Sony has removed some features, for instance, the ND filter and more annoyingly they removed TIMELAPSE and the whole app ecosystem. What I and several others users don't understand is why doesn't Sony respond to users questions?

If they are working on new software - fine, but shouldn't that be ready before they remove good features? So my question to Sony is will the TIMELAPSE be available in the near future??? The reason I wrote this review I that I saw Sonys response here in the reviews to NABhuiyan (USA) - the response reads 'we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Website for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region' well that's not very informative is it? As he won't find any information about his complaint specifically about the missing TIMELAPSE app. Having used this camera for a month now I find it does what it says on the tin however I thought it would only take a photo that was in focus i.e.

When the centre focus mark went green, this is not the case. Apart from a few occasions the focus was fast. For the price of this camera I think sony should have added a hand grip I have had to purchase one They don't even supply a case but I can live with that. The screen is difficult if not impossible to see in sunlight so its good it has an eye viewfinder even though this is very small and hard to use with glasses, for my larger camera I have a shield that goes round the screen, I don't think its beyond Sony to design something similar as an add on. The camera takes some great photos but my main problem has been the lack of info, I got very frustrated trying to find all the items this camera was capable of as the so called manual is pathetic and only tells you what the camera programme already tells you, I have had to go on line each time I wanted any info about each item. I have a Panasonic and their manual tells you in detail what each item in the programme does So Sony don't be stingy, give a manual not a pamphlet.

Would I still buy this camera, yes its a great bit of kit in such a small body, so well done Sony engineers, just get the paper work right Graham. I looked at the RX100 VI at our city's last true camera retailer and would have bought it except that the image on the screen cannot be seen when wearing polarized sun glasses.

This is not a problem with my Canon G16 (except when held on the vertical) so I am not sure why Sony has not installed a more usable screen. Since most of my photography is done outdoors and in the sun switching glasses is an issue. The viewfinder is not a viable alternative. I liked everything else about the camera and will buy the next generation if Sony can correct this one weakness. Exceptional, shirt-pocket/belt-bag compactness whilst still offering a tiny (on the limit!) EVF for those all too familiar ‘can’t-see-the-screen' bright days, plus a wee flash unit and 24-200mm (equivalent) telephoto zoom. The innovative Control Ring provides a unique, clear way of changing aperture on the hoof.

It also addresses the problem of how to hold a very small camera (with the left hand), close to its centre of gravity, without inadvertently tripping half a dozen other functions with your right hand (eg Lumix GX.7/8). Auto-ISO blithely takes ISO6400 into its span of authority without any noise implications even in jpeg images. On close examination the auto-ISO algorithm is very clever, favouring a shake free exposure whatever aperture you have selected. Lens and sensor offer extraordinary sharpness, dynamic range and freedom from noise. Really impressive. Planned or not, the position of the EVF precludes greasy 'nose-smears' on the monitor screen.

Precision positioning of the point of focus is possible without using (the usually adequate) touch-screen facility that necessitates taking your eye away from the EVF. High-discrimination focus. I had it focus-lock successfully on a dandelion seed puff!. The 9mm end of the lens travel together with the precision spot-focusing yield razor-sharp close-ups 80mm from the front of the lens; with (if you are a keen ‘Bokehfile’), a soft blur beyond. In such close ups – typically tiny flowers that the wind shakes around just as you are about to press the shutter – the apparently ‘noiseless’ ultra-high ISO capability enables nailing the flora even in the most capricious wind conditions (see pics below – ISO.1600, 1/2500th!). Having made that ingenious and space-saving EVF retract into the camera body, it’s a shame Sony did not make it pivoting – like Ricoh’s pioneering GXR and the Lumix GX.

Real ground-level shots using the pivoting monitor are very difficult – a shiny glass screen out-gunned by sky reflections. Sony have brilliantly accommodated simple operation for the newcomer and the needs of the professional in a beautifully made, compact, ‘always-carry-a-camera’ device. (My Alpha 9 is beginning to feel neglected!) The 584-page Sony Help document for the RX100M6 is a brave and monumental attempt to explain everything but, alas, is not always as clear as it could be. The Mk 6 is so new Adobe have not yet been able to make Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) communicate with its ARW files (albeit Sony A9 ARWs work OK in ACR).

Talking to Adobe, I understand that the RX100M6 will be included (like all previous RX100s) in the next update. But, select the jpg, then ‘Open in Camera RAW’ from Adobe Bridge File and all the usual ACR manipulative magic is available. These noise-free jpgs won’t have the tonal discrimination of an ARW to handle really wide tonal range but the results are very good.

Barely a week in use. Powerful pocket camera. And complex to pack all of that into a small form factor. Does most of what my full frame DSLR does. Have used lesser pocket cameras before.

Looking forward to learning and using all the advanced features. Really needs to either ship with a paper manual or allow to purchase one. In electronic version you need to know what you are looking for. Can't easily just flip pages. I would recommend for a serious photographer. If just a snapshot shooter you can be as effective without all the advanced features.

The RX100 VI would definitely be my choice of next camera if it has the built-in geotagging (GPS tracking) capability, but too bad RX100 VI doesn’t. Or, it’d be great if Sony can make the pop-up eyepiece viewfinder removable, and to be swappable with a portable geotagging unit that sharing the same slot/space. Such geotagging unit would be greatly appreciated by those who desire the GPS tracking much more than the eyepiece viewfinder on a camera.

Less than a third of the photos I have shooted were taken from my eye level, those non-eyeleveled shots couldn’t use viewfinder anyway, so the pop up eyepiece viewfinder is really not useful, at least to me. For users who like to use the pop up eyepiece viewfinder for shooting in the bright sunlight, my experience/suggestion is, just increase the brightness of LCD 1-2 level would work, it’d be much better than see through the viewfinder without knowing the camera setting details that displays on LCD screen but not showing on the eyepiece viewfinder. This is a very well equipped camera with, on the one hand, the ability to produce really excellent quality images, and, on the other, a size that is sufficiently small that it enables you to carry it with you in your pocket at all times. The addition of the 200 mm zoom lens eliminates the principal drawback of the earlier models of the RX100.

My only criticisms of the camera are as follows. First, the shutter button is flush with the top of the camera which makes it hard to find by touch when looking through the viewfinder - an irritating oversight which has been a fault with all the previous models as well.

Secondly the dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder is quite free moving and has no ratchet mechanism on it, with the result that it is very easy inadvertently to move it when handling the camera, thus rendering the image through the viewfinder out of focus for the particular user. Excellent product, an upgrade on my previous Leica DLux. I bought it as I wanted the small form factor, but also wanted zoom telephoto, built in flash, excellent optics and best sensor size. I have not been disappointed- fantastic focus times, great colour rendering and very sharp telephoto zoom shots of birds in my garden. Only disadvantages over my previously owned Leica are poorer battery life, and strange inability to bulk delete all images short of reformatting every time.

All the rest are pluses! I own a RX100 II. That was an upgrade from DSC-HX7V which had 10X zoom. Immediately, I felt the loss, although I loved the 1” sensor. With the M6, I feel empowered again. I do not have much opportunity for astrophotography, given there is light pollution everywhere near me. However, I’m going to get the chance to try that out soon.

I’ll find out then if the lack of f/1.8 loss is a problem. Right now, the M6 autofocus alone is a significant enhancement over the M2, among the other features. The only disappointment is both M2 and M6 are not supported by PlayMemories Camera App. I still cannot have time lapse installed.
