Sony RX100 VI 20.1 MP Premium Compact Digital Camera w/ 1-inch sensor, 24-200mm ZEISS zoom lens and pop-up OLED EVF

Let me start by saying that I purchased this camera mainly to capture photos of our 10 month old baby son. As we all know infants move unpriedictevly and fast focusing camera is a must. Here is why this camera delivers on that task. 1. It’s fast. I mean lightning fast not only in acquiring focus but also during handling like switching between menu, playback and picture taking modes. I never wait for things to happen, I press and it happens. 2. Burst mode is incredibly fast. It’s critical to have fast frame burst mode in order to capture that baby’s smily face. 24 frames with continuous focus is crazy fast! 3. Touch screen! Finally Sony! Even though it only works during live view mode to pin point autofocus and during playback mode to magnify picture (no pinch to zoom in or out unfortunately) I don’t think I’m missing out here. I don’t use touch screen in menus anyway. I works good, I don’t feel any lags. 4. It’s very customizable in terms of assigning shortcut buttons. Sony’s menu is not very intuitive especially coming from Canon world but I think once you setup my menu items and reassign buttons the way you like you will be OK. Particularly I like one feature. It’s burst photos images grouping. If I take burst photo with let say 50 photos I don’t have to scroll trough them all to get to the next picture, camera groups those 50 photos in 1 group and you can exit it and go to next picture. Another neat feature is that you can protect picture you like and delete the rest of pictures with press of a button, so you have to delete 49 other pictures manually if you like just 1 of them. I don’t know why other cameras don’t have that, it makes my life much easier. 5. Great dynamic range right out camera’s JPEGs. We all probably had a situation when you want to take a photo from inside restaurant with some beautiful view outside and people by your table but than you have dilemma. When background is properly bright people by a table are dark, if you want people on your pic to look bright background becomes overexposed or very bright. That’s when this cameras outperforms any other cameras I have used. It has feature called DRO it makes dark areas brighter while keeping whole scene properly exposed. It’s not HDR function when camera takes 3 photos and stacks them, it only takes 1 photo. By the way it has HDR mode too and works well too but as we all know it’s only good for still scene as photo can come out blurry if anybody moved during capturing these 3 photos. 6. You can take 4K video and grab photo from it. I love this function, I just shoot high resolution 4K video of our constantly moving baby boy and then just grab 17 megapixel frame from it if I like it. Great feature! 7. You can instantly transfer photos to your smartphone via WiFi no cables needed even when you are outside away from Wifi. It’s not as simple setup as Canons system but it’s easy enough. And you can start sharing those photo minute after you took them! Overall I’m very happy with my purchase. Lack of touch screen held me back from buying rx100 cameras for years! Not anymore! Yes this camera is expensive but it’s good investment that will last. I don’t think I will need to but any other camera for many more years. It does everything I need it to do superbly!

I was looking for a high performance travel camera to take on trips and backpacking. I decided on the Sony RX100M6 after reading several reviews. The camera takes very sharp/clear pictures. The colors it records are authentic. I shoot in RAW format and edit in Lightroom. The pictures are fantastic. I have experimented with JPEG and those images are very nice as well. I am extremely happy with this camera. Some on-line reviews complain about the reduction in f-stop (lower end being f2.8-4.5) due to the extended zoom range. I have not found this to be an issue and prefer the extended zoom (24-200mm). The camera is well built - it has a very solid feel. The Sony menu system is a little confusing, but the on-line manual describes each of the settings in detail. You can customize your camera to place critical menu items in the My Menu section so that you can find your most crucial settings quickly - for example: Format. The camera is small and it could slip out of you hand easily. I therefore added the AG-R2 grip which makes it easier to handle. I also added a OP/TECH USA Cam Strap - QD (a wrist strap). A second battery is a must. To protect the screen, I selected a Vello Screen Protector Ultra. The Lowepro Portland 20 bag fits the camera with its strap and a spare battery nicely. It's a great bag for backpacking and can attach to your belt. If you need a small bag to fit the camera, strap, spare battery, charger, cables, and lens cloth - then the Lowepro Adventura SH100R II is a nice choice. The camera has WiFi and you can download pictures to your smart phone using the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile application. I found that establishing the WiFi connections between the camera and phone to be fairly straightforward using the NFC feature. The other connection methods work, but are more cumbersome. You can download the full size image or a reduced image size of 2M for use with social media (for example). This is a great camera!

Awesome camera! It worth every dollar its costs. Yeah, it is not cheap... but having that beast in your pocket it a real game changer (if you like to take pictures and you really focused on the quality). I saw in other reviews some people say that iPhone X can do all the same... Although yes it can DO things, but HOW is not comparable at all. Those two devices from different universes. Pictures made with a cell phone perhaps good enough for sharing on social media, but pictures made with this camera make your eyes happy! :) Very low digital noice, even in the low light. Great Zoom! Big concern about unavailability of software support at this moment (7/25/18) - no any utilities to convert ARW to DNG, but this is just a matter of time. Hopefully Adobe will do a great job and add RAW files support for this camera pretty soon. So I'll keep 5 stars for the device itself! :) UPDATE 8/22/2018: Hooray! Adobe just released update for Lightroom. Now it supports RAW format from this camera!

This camera takes very good photos and video, but as a point-and-shoot that lacks certain physical capabilities by design as a size tradeoff, they should throw the kitchen sink at the software features. Unfortunately, they removed the timelapse feature for this version, and it would have been great to have on the vacation that I just took. Also, the feature to allow GPS and timestamp exif data to be added from a bluetooth connection to a phone does not work. I have hundreds of photos that are way off in the time stamp (making they not fun to share with everyone in the Google Photos album when my photos are out of sync with their phone photos). Some photos get GPS coordinates, and others do not. There's no rhym or reason to it. Also, some have the location correct, and others have a general location, while others have the wrong location. Super bummed about all of that, because it's the only reason I went with the M6 over the M5. I hear the M5 does better in low light. Lastly, while shooting video and zooming, sometimes the sound from the mechanical zoom is recorded in the audio (loudly), and other times it is not. Overall, this is a good camera at a lower price, but for this price the value is just not there.

This is wonderful compact camera! As someone who has used DSLRs and more recently mirrorless cameras for decades, I was impressed by the performance. There are a lot of reviews out there about this camera and the pros/cons about the additional reach with the 200mm zoom versus the lost low light ability, so I'll skip that. However, and this isn't a fair comparison, coming from a Canon 6D and now a Sony A7 III, the RX100 VI 1 inch sensor can't compete in the low light department. It was strained in relatively decent light -- an airplane cabin with all the lights on, for example, although perfectly acceptable for Instagram or Facebook. However, in good light the images were great. Good contrast, detailed, and the colors were generally really good--almost as good as a DSLR. Video performance was really, really good. Completely blew away my Canon 6D. The only downside is that an external mic jack would have been nice, so the sound could be as good as the video. The internal mic is decent, though. Focus in both photo and video mode was spot on accurate 99% of the time. In the past, compact cameras were unusable to me because they focused so slowly. The RX100 VI has DSLR levels of speed when it comes to focusing. Speaking of speed, the 24 frames per second this camera is capable of is ridiculously fast. I actually had to use the "low" continuous shooting setting because it was too fast for most situations. Battery life is much better than I expected it to be. I was able to take a full day's worth of pictures and some video on one battery while sightseeing on vacation. The menu system, especially as I am used to Canon, had a steep learning curve, but once configured, and used for a while, wasn't too bad. I highly recommend watching a few YouTube videos as there are many good tips out there. A word of caution for those coming from DSLRs and mirrorless cameras though. While much faster than most compact cameras, you can't get away from the fact that turning the camera on/off takes a second or two as the lens emerges from the body and back. It's annoying because in a flick of a switch, a DSLR is ready to go. If you're used to compact cameras, then the lag isn't going to bother you and is probably better than most compact cameras. Otherwise, it's amazing the amount of performance that was fit in such a small package. The biggest disappointment, however, is the connectivity software, PlayMemories. Getting it to connect via WiFi on my Samsung S8 was a nightmare. You have to turn off cellular data every time--it took hours of research to figure that out. Once connected, it works fine, but you then have to remember to turn cellular data back on. Something that should be simple is a multiple step process. Connecting via Bluetooth isn't straightforward either and you need it to get location/GPS information from your phone to include on your pictures. The secret there is to pair via PlayMemories rather than through the phone setup like you normally would with just about any other device. Even after it is paired, I found the connection would be dropped or that you would need to manually connect every time you turned on the camera. And if you didn't notice the connection was lost or not established, you'd have to tag the location info manually on each picture. I wish they included GPS chip instead of having to rely on Bluetooth with your phone's GPS, so this wouldn't be a problem. Bottom line is the RX100 VI is a great camera but with terrible connectivity software.

It was having a hard time focusing due to dust inside the view finder.

I didn't like paying nearly $1200. but have to admit I am totally impressed with this camera in one day of use so far. Test shots seem really sharp across the field at all focal lengths (yes even 200mm). In-camera JPEGs look pretty good, RAW of course a little better after processing. The video looks noticeably better than the RX100 M3 I also own. One feature I really like is being able to snap a photo while shooting a video (17mp image vs. 20mp native photo but still a good quality file albeit in JPEG-only format). I may miss the faster lens of the earlier M3 but the reach of the 200mm here is such a useful improvement in this tiny package I'll live with the higher ISOs or slower shutter speeds I think. My only complaint might be the delicate nature of the shutter/lens cover device which began to "stick" on my earlier camera after a few months (I learned to shake the camera to get it to open fully). I'm adding an after-market filter adapter to try to protect the front of the lens better, and added an after-market grip I like too. Sony could do better with those areas but the basic box here is a pretty amazing little device I'm excited to do more shooting with to see what it can do.

I LOVED this camera - while it worked. Sharp pictures, clear menu options, terrific telephoto performance in a tiny package. But slightly more than one year after I bought it, I encountered an E:91:01 error, which is a fill-flash error. A search on Google indicated that this is a very common error in many Sony's, but especially the RX100. Sony authorizes a couple of repair centers to do work out of warranty, and the estimate to fix it was $400 for a $1,000 camera. In light of the fact that there is no guarantee that something else won't break on this fragile camera and cost me more money, I'm chalking up this purchase to learning a lesson.

Amazing picture quality if you record in raw format.

Tamaño, calidad de fotografía, sensor excelente camara, lente, solo la pila no tiene mucha carga pero para una sesión normal es suficiente, con comprar una pila extra asíntota arreglado

Ok

Seul petit problème en 4K, le steady Shot standard n'est pas à la hauteur, Mais avec un trépied l'image est de très bonne qualité. Mais avec le rx100 m7 le steady shot serait beaucoup mieux en 4K.
