A Quiet Moment

This is one of the last images from the Sony RX100M2.
I decided to return the camera within the return period.
In my opinion, and its just a personal opinion,
the Sony RX100M2 although touted as a "pocketable camera"
is actually larger (thicker) than that term suggests.

I did enjoy the image quality from the 1" sensor
but for now I will re-think how I can have a camera with me, in my pocket.

That is a beautiful image and the reflections are amazing...but for me ,to have a small camera it has to fit in your pocket...V

Gorgeous light, colors and clarity. You certainly showed off the camera's quality even if it wasn't for you. V.

Wonderful reflection in this superb scene. v

A fine image, the boats and water reflections are very nice. Excellent light and colors too. Try the Lumix GM1...is slightly smaller in size but 16Mp with MFT sensor. V

A lovely looking picture. It is hard to find a truly pocketable camera with good IQ.

Outstanding image, Brian.

A pretty scene, Brian. Consider the Panasonic LF1. It's small, takes nice photos and has an evf.

Torben Jorgensen		13-Jan-2014 14:36
It certainly takes great pictures. Very beautiful scene. V

I have long admired the images from this camera! Image quality is extremely good as you have so well shown here!

Gary Hebert		13-Jan-2014 14:06
Excellent scene and might need bigger pockets... :-))

Fine seascape, good detail and color. My pocket camera is the Canon S100, I think it's the S120 now, Although the sensor is small the F2 lens does a wonderful job and it fits in a shirt pocket. v

Lovely capture for a last image from the camera.

So wonderful Brian! V

very beautiful reflections ! v

You certainly know how to make good use of lighting. Lovely. I'm sorry to hear that this Sony does not fit your personal preferences. You will eventually find a pocket camera that feels to you good to carry around. Not merely settling will make you a lot happier in the end. The "right" camera is still out there & you'll find it.

Excellent shot Brian! Thanks for your input on the RX100MII. I too felt it was a little large for use as my point and shoot. V++

Helen Betts		13-Jan-2014 07:33
Excellent clarity in this lovely image. Sorry to hear the Sony didn't work out size-wise because you were getting some good results from it. V.
