## Description

The perfect balance of mobility and quality.

Review: The Sony RX-10 Is a Steal At This Price, and Worth Every Dime! A Pro-Grade Bridge! - Is it wrong to love a camera? I’ve used my new-to-me Sony RX-10 for 2 months now. It is an excellent tool! A true standout! I was a full-time working professional photographer for 30+ years, and I learned long ago that it's not about cameras. To me a camera is just a tool, a recording device. That said, I've always like GOOD tools. After much research I found my camera here on desertcart, very gently used, with 4 batteries (!) (great for extended shooting which I sometimes do), for $500 U.S. flat, including a small. perfect Manfrotto case. I have zero interest in video so I cannot comment on it (never once used it in any digital camera). I have little interest in scene modes. I shoot in raw nearly 100% of the time and process in Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC. I value a reasonable zoom: the RX-10 goes from equivalent 24mm to 200mm, all at f/2.8 (wide open) if desired. The camera can be anything from fully automatic (point and shoot) to full manual (including focus), but it is a “compact” or “bridge,” technically an “amateur” camera, so it’s at its best when being used at least semi-auto. I personally favor Aperture priority and auto-focus, which the camera can do continuously which helps with tiny moving targets such as a 1-year-old granddaughter. The RX-10 may be considered “obsolete” in that Sony has already upgraded it twice, to Super Zoom status. I am perfectly satisfied with 200mm, but the newest 600mm RX-10 III weighs 2-½ pounds and retails for $1,500 U.S. If you are a birder or such then it’s worth it the money and the mass. Even the third version is a pound lighter than a typical crop-sensor DSLR with a kit lens, and no kit lens has even the 200mm reach of the “obsolete” RX-10. As a working pro I had my fill of wrecking my back with 50# cases of gear. When I dipped my toe in digital in 2007 I loved compacts. My previous primary is a Nikon P7800 with a 1/1.7 CMOS sensor. I was a happy clam for years despite the small sensors, but I am also a sharp freak and wondered from time to time what difference a larger sensor might make (lots as it turns out), but I also long ago concluded that I don't want bodies and lenses and load. I want what I've had, a do-it-all-in-a-single-package camera. I've never been especially concerned with "limitations." I consider that there are always workarounds. I'm told that compacts are "no good in low light." I've been shooting in practically NO Light since I started. I accept that there will be noise (and some noise can be reduced in post processing). A couple of years ago my Nikon P7800 covered everything from the Grand Canyon to Carlsbad Cavern. One camera, bright light to no light. What limitations? Yet I still wondered about a larger sensor. I started researching. I considered mirrorless but that meant lenses, more kit, bigger bag, and baggage. I never seriously considered a DSLR; too big, too heavy, lenses, more baggage, plus I have learned to love love love an EVF. I also love a totally silent camera. DSLR's clunk. Compacts can be completely silenced, no beeps, no shutter sounds, no lights; even the monitor can be shut off and only the EVF left on. I like to shoot in museums but I prefer to be discreet. Bridge cameras sounded like exactly what I wanted. Review after review praised the Sony RX-10 to the skies. The RX-10 has a 1.0 type Exmor R CMOS sensor, triple the area of the 1/1.7 sensor in the Nikon P7800. Full manual control, shoots raw, Zeiss glass... It didn’t take long for me to conclude that the Sony RX-10 was THE camera. If I have a gripe about the RX-10, it's the weight. The thing is a chunk. It weighs 1.79 pounds (the Nikon P7800, weighs .88 pound), but that is almost all Carl Zeiss glass, and Zeiss is the Gold Standard of lenses. Because the lens is an equivalent 24 to 200mm f/2.8 zoom that holds f/2.8 (or any other stop) throughout the range, it is massive and therefore heavy. My take is that the weight is more than worth it. The lens is shaaaaarp at all focal lengths and apertures, but because of the larger sensor is also able to much more easily deliver a smooth bokeh that I could never achieve with my Nikons. The small sensors make for almost unlimited depth-of-field, but if you don't want it you have to work at it. If you are looking to upgrade from a point ‘n’ shoot but don’t want to go all the way to interchangeable lenses, from the reviews I’ve read and my personal experience you can’t go wrong with this slightly obsolete Sony. If you want a super zoom I’d still buy the Sony, but the new ones are pretty spendy. Still, they are built to last, solid and physically heavy, with real Carl Zeiss glass and 1” sensors. If I were still working I would have no hesitation about using this camera professionally. It's that good.
Review: Better than most, and almost there. - Better than the RX100 for the lens, and dials, but that's it. Pros: 1. Relatively simple to use, and feels more like a camera than my RX100 (albeit 5x the size). 2. Construction seems well done, but still slightly plasticy feeling. 3. Faster aperture over most of the zoom range. 4. Sharp lens, better than the RX100 on the longer end of things (>70mm eq.) 5. Tiling screen is nice to have, but could have been touch capable at this price. 6. Real lens hood and cap (familiar and perhaps preferred, to those used to slr types of camera). 7. Great EVF. Really, this one is as good as, or better than the EM-5 IMO. 8. Shutter button feel is great. 9. Aperture ring the hails to a time when we used such things. Nice touch. 10. Detents available on the aperture ring (but more on this later). 11. Smooth and relatively even zoom, although slow (more on this later). 12. Well balanced in your hand(s), even with the zoom fully extended. 13. UI is pretty simple to navigate, and to find what you expected/needed to find. 14. Weather sealing is a nice feature, but I don't anticipate shooting in a down pour very much. 15. When sounds are disabled, the shutter is virtually silent. Great work Sony. Cons: 1. Squeaky tilt screen (yeah, it squeaks when moving into the down low shooting position). 2. Sloooooo....oooow zoom. Too slow IMO. The linkage/communication should be more direct between the ring and the movement of the lens. 3. The aperture ring, while an excellent idea, only has the knurled portions in two areas of the ring. This makes it so that I constantly turn the switch that controls the detent function, into the off position. When you grab it where the knurled areas are not, you simply cannot turn it very well as your fingers impact the fingers that hold the grip. Poor design there. 4. Write times are decent, but you hit the buffer and it gets very slow. It clears reasonably quickly tho, so not too bad. 5. No AF-on style button, or function. Major oversight. 6. Bug in the software: This means that if you accidentally plug the camera in to your computer (while the computer is in sleep mode) to charge your battery,and the camera's power switch is in the on position, it will disable your camera's ability to connect to your computer. You then have to use a card reader. Silly bug, and it needs a fix. 7. Average responsiveness in the AF dept., although it does hit the target most of the time. This is actually unacceptably slow for me after trying for two days. 8. Battery life: Real world use is not what they claim. If you plan to use the camera to frame your image, or review many of your images, be prepared for something like 200 shots or so. Not terrible, but not great either. (Caveat: I am using the EVF mostly). Overall then, this is a solid bit of kit, but not the one I had hoped for when placing the order. It lacks some of what I expected it to accomplish easily. What I feel are missing: The refined movements/operation of a high end camera, and the AF performance anticipated by the much touted new AF system. It lags behind my RX100 for AF speed by about half the speed. The battery charging in the camera has caused some frustration, and caused the camera to malfunction. This occurred/occurs, when inadvertently connected to a USB then to your Mac, while the Mac is "asleep". Dumb oversight Sony. Get that fixed please. In the hand, its just about tall enough to feel like a real camera, but not quite tall enough to really "hold" like one. I have medium sized hands, so that is for my grip. Another of the tactile things is that the buttons seem lost on the back of the camera when you have it to your eye (which you will probably find yourself doing with this EVF). You can probably find the buttons ok, by training yourself to go to the horizontal wheel, then carefully moving your thumb down till you feel them. Also, the lens rattles at the front end, whether its turned off, on or fully extended. Not a lot of rattle, but I noticed it "clicking" around as I moved about and bumped my elbows into objects for stability. What it does well (esp. considering the size of sensor) is to capture and retain shadow and highlight details. As with the RX100, I found myself setting a negative 1/3 stop of exposure for most automated shooting. I played with processing a few jpeg images, and even they held up pretty well. The images will do better keeping details in the shadows, than in highlights though. So keep your highlights in check, your ISO's lower, and you can recover a healthy amount from those shadows. This lens is very, very good. I shoot with the Nikon 70-200/2.8 and have had the Canon version of that lens some years ago. Neither of those lenses can out perform this one for its purpose. Unlike those lenses, this one does pincushion pretty severely, but when you consider the other end (25mm), its totally acceptable IMO. Very nice job. So then, is it a keeper? I really want to, but I am fighting with myself. On the one hand I REALLY want a one stop bridge camera like this. On the other hand, it holds back in some areas that feel like Sony were not quite paying attention. I probably will keep it as it does most of what I hoped it would, and frankly, I can probably learn to work around the "issues" I have with it. Nice but not quite there. Perhaps the" version II" will address these few bugs. Just need some more beta testers like me to speak up until they listen, as they did with the RX100/RX100 II.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RX10 (RX100 Superset)
*by A***T on December 3, 2013*

Updated 12/29/2013 So far the RX10 has exceeded expectations and what's more fits in a small weatherproof padded case 6 X 5-1/2 X 4 inches for a total weight of 42oz with spare battery. I really like that I can just focus on using it versus worrying about what lenses to buy, and how to carry them. Sony really under promised and over delivered on this one. My opinion is that based on reviews there are a few bad units out there, and the best plan is purchase through Amazon, and then do a thorough evaluation during the return period. Other suppliers have there own rules, and you may have to pay return shipping and insurance as well the free shipping you received at purchase, even if the return isn't due to your fault. (Read the fine print). I particularly like the RX10 EVF -it's easy to frame images and does not require scrunching ones nose against the back of the camera, doesn't require putting on reading glasses either , the menu is easy to navigate, and it feels like a solid quality camera. The weatherproofing is a plus especially if you live in a wet (or marine) climate. The battery life isn't very good, and it weighs 30oz+ but I can deal with that. I like this style of camera because it's compact, less prone to dust problems, and easier to justify purchasing as it isn't an open ended system like a DSLR. I needed a replacement for the FZ200, and also needed to have the IQ of an RX100 as I have become accustomed to that. Of course the zoom range of a RX10 is less than an FZ200 but covers most needs i.e. travel, family, gallery, museum, cathedrals, "some" wildlife."Some" is like the old house we purchased with "some" insulation-after extensive remodel we found a few square feet over the kitchen ceiling i.e.a rarity. I think that 24-200mm is an ideal range especially for weddings and similar events. I'm using it in addition to the RX100. To use the DSLR analogy, instead of removing the large lens and adding a pancake lens,I will just put the RX10 aside and take the RX100 out of the belt pouch. At 28mm (only) the RX100 is still superior with an f1.8 aperture. The RX10 is larger than the FZ200 mainly in the depth front to back dimension about +5/8 inches, enough that it will not fit in the FZ200 case. Because the LCD cannot be folded inwards it has to be slid into a pouch having protection for the glass The weight is + 1/2 lb, so I need some solid performance for that increase. I found a case for it, the Rip Offs belt pouch I have been using (2.2oz) is too small and not enough protection for the LCD glass, also I think it is too heavy for a belt pouch. The Panasonic Soft Compact ILC System Digital Camera Carrying Case works amazingly well, and is only six at Amazon. It has space for the camera and lenshood stowed, with a Crumpler Noose, and a spare battery or two. Seems to be weather resistant also. It also has more useful features, and is more useable than a Crumpler X million $ Home camera case for a fraction of the price. The RX10 ergonomics are excellent and when the camera is powered down with the lenshood in stowed position it doesn't scrunch my fingers like the FZ200. Easy to grip with one hand even at 200mm, I use a wrist strap and 2 hands usually. No abnormal things -the shutter is a bit louder than the RX100, but silent compared to an EM-1 clunk, the lens barrel does move slightly in the 200mm position when gripped, the zoom speed and power up speed is fine, the AF seems normal. The sounds, flash, and the focus light can be turned off which is the way I like to operate. The videos and stills are all in one file instead of being seperate which makes reviewing easier. I have only compared with the RX100 IQ at 100mm so far and the the RX10 appears better. It will take a while to do the rest of this testing. I'm also going to try out the 2X clear zoom after reading one report on how well it works versus cropping, this potentially gets the zoom range into the lower end usually required for wildlife (300mm minimum) but I don't expect miracles. I added a lens cap cord because I like the one on the FZ200. Using Sony 62mm Front Lens Cap ALCF62S accessory about six at Amazon, and some Atwood Rope 1/16 inch Microcord I drilled a 1/16 inch hole on the edge of the lens cap, threaded the cord, made a mushroom end by partially unraveling the cord, and melting with a match. Then pull the cord and use a blob of glue. It can then be cut to length with the lens in the 200mm position and the lens cap and hood in place. Update #1 I found that a number of close up's, macros, long shots, short shots weren't up to snuff when viewed on a large monitor.All shots taken inside with room lighting only. Using center focus fixed the problem -they look great now. Update#2 The manual says "This camera is designed to be dust and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or splashproof". Update#3 I found that for low light conditions there doesn't seem to be any benefit in using RX10 CIZ mode @2X200mm (versus cropping @200mm) it just creates a more noisy image and the size of the jpeg file can be as high as 18MB. Also for low light conditions a cropped RX10 image @200mm is as good as a FZ200 image at the maximum optical zoom 600mm, and this is with FZ200 ISO=200, RX10 ISO=3200. Update#4 The outside test shot of a power pole transformer (with a small manufacturers label) showed the similar results to the low light shots, for stills RX10 CIZ does not have any benefit over just cropping an image. The FZ200@600mm gave the usual result for this test shot and I can read the label whereas I cannot read it using the RX10@200mm with or without CIZ -when cropped. So my "conclusion" is that there weren't any miracles and the FZ200 is still the best fixed lens camera choice for wildlife photos where 600mm focal length is needed, also the RX10 CIZ mode isn't useful for stills so I will consider the maximum usable focal length to be 200mm and just use optical zoom. Plan to repeat this when a break in the weather happens. Update#5 I've been very pleased with the results, the shots look great at 12 inches X 18 inches when viewed from about 12 inches on an LCD monitor, and also at an equivalent of 4X larger than this. Better IQ than a RX100.
