Maybe cameras where there are extensive reviews online aren’t the best example of this article but I appreciate the more unique topics such as umbrellas, hiking boots and the like which can be harder to research. Read more

Social researcher or not, you’re wrong about this. I think this is a pretty useful filler/fluff post because the conclusion is actually right. It points someone who may not know about point-and-shoot cameras, but might be on the market for one, in a good direction. If you knew more about the RX100, you’d probably Read more

I purused all that was posted and learned much, especially from the comments section. However, the exercise of compiling this into a rigorous trade study is left to the reader. What are the criteria for comparison, and what priority is assigned to each? At least now I have more knowledge of various criteria and an Read more

No, I’m really not. As far as I can tell, you’re just b*tching about an article that you say isn’t relevant to you, but yet you still clicked, and then took the time to comment. Read more

For what it’s worth, my RX100 (the first model) is absolutely ideal for carrying everywhere in a pants pocket, the images are spectacularly good for the size of the camera, I am never without it, and it is without doubt the least fun or endearing camera I’ve ever owned. Read more

Right, then I’m not sure why you clicked to read this article. I mean, if you aren’t on the market to buy a new camera, but anyway, some people like to consider user reviews when they do their camera research, in addition to reading reviews on dedicated photography websites. Read more

Regardless, the RX100 actually is the best point and shoot, so there’s that. If you want to read some more technical analysis, there are literally hundreds of them that come to that same conclusion online. Read more

i havent brought my dslr on vactaion for two years now since buying the RX100. and i havent noticed a drop in image quality. The only time I use the dslr is for portraits, you cant beat the subject isolation with a full frame camera and fast telephoto prime but narrow aperture vacation photos are indistiguishable from Read more

I have had this camera for years, on bike trips, fishing trips, climbing, everywhere. Good for low light and action, will take photos underwater, is small enough to put in a pocket and is ready to take a photo almost instantly.

Without a doubt the RX-series IS a better camera but it is also bigger and less pocket friendly. The S120 is durable, more affordable but also covers most of what the RX’s can do while not feeling so weighty. Read more

Looks like that air purifier is from Fellowes, whose air purifiers used to be made by Winix, though I’m not certain they are anymore. The Winix air purifiers are consistently well rated and good values, I’ve got one and it has helped enormously with my allergies. I paid almost this much for a used on off eBay, and Read more

I’ve had the first gen Sony RX100 for a couple years, and it is, without question, the best point-and-shoot I’ve ever owned. For everything from 1080p video quality to audio quality (despite the fact that it lacks an external mic input) to image quality to dynamic range to shutter responsiveness to its diminutive size Read more

It was really tough for me to decide between the Sony RX100 series or the Canon G7X, but I went for the G7X. Canon color is SO awesome and has excellent video quality. It *almost* makes me take out my DSLR less because of the great quality and small (convenient) size. Read more
