Vern shows off some great stuff, though I think your work is always a pleasure to see.

David-- thanks for that info. I'm using all zeiss lenses on my Canon and they rotate quite easily so I guess I just expected this to be the same.. The rotation on this sony is smooth but as you said, way tighter. Other than that the camera seems ok, in fact, I'm surprised at the sharpness of some of these shots. Pretty neat little camera. We got this for my niece but just may have to get one for myself too.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks David. Vern kicks my ass and I know it. Gives me something to aspire to, I suppose. I am jealous of the whole mountaineering lifestyle he's got going...
Couple from riding my motorbike in the desert this evening. Thought it was gonna pour rain on me, but it never did. It was beautiful out. I had my NEX with me, but needed a wide angle lens and wasn't packing one. Dropped my RX100 right on my steel toe boot - THUD - really glad it was in it's nice little Pelican 1010 case!!

Still wondering tho about the stiffness in the rotation of the ring around the lens. Rotates smoothly for a bit but then it takes a bit more effort to continue to rotate it.
As a reminder I did mention earlier that I got this used from B&H so it does make me wonder if it took a fall or was somehow mishandled. Seems as if it should rotate smoothly all the way around with no stiffness anywhere.
Anyone have any thoughts about this??

Thinking about picking up a used rx 100 for my 12 yr. old nIece. We gave her a used slr and not a very high quality lens over a year ago. We didn't buy anything of great quality thinking that it would be only a passing fancy. However,she drags this setup with her just about everywhere. Her skills have improved dramatically in this time frame.
We're wondering about getting her a used rx100 (b&h had a couple) but wonder at the fragility of the camera.
Hoping if those of you who have used yours for a while can comment on...Show more →
Uh I dropped mine on the floor last week end. Hard floor.. No rug. The battery cover popped open and the battery flew out. Picked it up, re-inserted the battery and could not even find a mark on the camera.. It had to re-build the image database and the only one I lost was the one on the viewfinder when I dropped the camera.
Nuff said.

I dropped mine down a bloody mountain. Thought the zipper was closed on it's carrying case and it wasn't. BIG fail. As I watched it bounce down rocks I thought, "there goes $700"...
To my great surprise it not only survived with everything working perfectly but even the cosmetic damage is minimal.

Ended up ordering one for myself from B&H today.
Wondering about getting a franiec grip. Yes, no??

For those that have the RX100 II, I'm wondering if the rule of thirds grid will appear in the Android/iOS app for compositional purposes?
Can I trigger a set of AEB images from the Android/iOS app?

'..it not only survived with everything working perfectly but even the cosmetic damage is minimal.'
This is the huge advantage of a fixed lens camera - sheer structural strength, the lens mount being a completion point for the body. I have heard of Hexar AF owners who have dropped theirs from motorcycles and had very little - and only cosmetic - damage. The lack of mass helps also.
