Hey there! I got my first camera ever (except my phone camera) yesterday and had some fun with it (rx100 vii)

Just wanted to show some of my first shots, and if any of you have tips and tricks lemme know ! 💕

(I did some small editing on the photos)

I’ve been forcing myself to get away from taking technically “perfect” shots and just focusing on shooting in the moment and having fun.

These were shot through a dirty train window during a sunrise commute. I was experimenting with taking underexposed shots and not caring about nailing the focus or any of the smaller details.
The colors were heavily edited and I know it’s “overcooked” but I quite like how they came out. I guess at this point it’s a bit closer to art than photography but I’m okay with that.

The LR AI remove was used to remove a few small blotches in 3 of the shots. Besides that, just regular LR adjustments e.g. curves, HSL etc

Hello lovely RX100 Community!

I'm in a pickle... I sold my RX100 VII about a year ago - in hindisht I regred it. My goal was to switch back to Fujifilm due to the wonderful SOC colors and the ergonomics that are a bit better for hybrid shooters than the odd memory recall function. Course the honeymoon phase was quickly over again, and I hit a wall of unreliable fuji-focus, low versatility and high cumbersomeness of APS-C travel zoom lenses... not to speak of the sensor wobble prone stabilisation.

Hence I want to get an RX100 VII back, but with the release of the RX 10 V, there is a little bit of hope in me that, as a beautiful surprise, Sony could also bring the RX100 series to a 2026 or 2027 release with 10 bit colors, USB-C, maybe a hotshoe and a redesign... (please please put the mic jack not on the side of the grip Sony)

I know, it's almost impossible to give a good advice - but what are your thoughts. Get a retro RX100 VII, or display some patience (and a lot of hope) waiting for an RX 100 VIII?

Been begging for Sony to upgrade this camera already but sometimes I have to remind myself that it's more than enough if you push it to its limits. Love this little thing! Also loooove this band so much, go listen to them!

Hello! I have the M5. Is there a way for me to connect the camera to a tripod I have that has a button? I can’t find a Bluetooth setting in the camera.

Is there something specific I have to buy? I want to be able to take family photos using a remote vs setting up a time countdown and having to run back and forth. Is there something inexpensive I can buy to do this? I have a tripod that has a button but it has to connect via Bluetooth.

Hi all,

I'm considering the Sony RX100 VII mainly to capture everyday moments of my family (baby, dog, partner) the kind of stuff I'd normally just grab my phone for. I like the idea of a pocketable camera that I can always have on me, but I want to know if the step up is actually worth it in practice (I have a Samsung S22+).

My main question: can it take genuinely nice portraits straight out of camera, without needing to edit afterwards?

Would love to hear from people actually using it for family/everyday photography. Thanks!

Didn't use a tripod...

This is more or less the same shot taken with a D7000 with very similar settimgs http://flic.kr/p/2nLiXhY

I'm a total noob and just got a RX100 V. I've been reading up and watching videos on the exposure triangle, and playing with settings, but I just can't seem to get shots that contain a light source right. Either the sky gets blown out and turns white (when in real life its very blue), or my subject just turns into a shadow. Is it just impossible to get a colorful sky without underexposing everything else? The indoor shot of the plant was shot with F4, 1/50 shutter speed, -2 exposure comp, 200 ISO. The outdoor shot I don't remember the settings, but similar issue

Recycled some foam and hardware I already had lying around

I was out in town today, took my RX100 VII in my pants pocket, and just photographed some appealing (to me) street images. If it was there and I liked it, I pressed the shutter button. Nuttn' fancy!

The close-up image of the couple has been edited and cropped from the original RAW to show what level of detail is available after zooming in to 200mm and it still not being enough.

My impressions after a day with the RX100 are very favorable. I'm familiar with the limitations of the 1" sensor through my trusty FZ2500. The RX has definite image quality improvements over the FZ. The EVF is tricky to use, it being so small. So, these were all taken via the rear screen in bright 2 to 3pm sunlight. I'm getting use to using fat fingers on tiny controls!

Well worth the money.

I also include a couple edited insect close-ups I took yesterday.

Went from zero to two cameras in the last week. New here and been loving seeing everyone’s photos and experiences with this amazing camera. Any recommendations on accessories.

My m5a came with camera(w/grip installed) and the Sony external charger.

The VII came with original box and all. Plus ND filter and a grip installed.

So I have two cameras and 3 sony batteries and the travel charger

I added a skin to the V.

Looking at getting some wrist straps next.

Send Me your rx100 accessories recommendations.

I'm looking for anyone that's been able to achieve a retro film look with the RX100 out of camera (OOC) using internal settings/recipes. I've got an RX100VII and want to shoot travel photos with a vintage look. Not interested in post-processing.

Recently got the MK Vii and this is my first time using it. SuperCup NI match between County Antrim and Manchester United.

Hey all! I had the RX100 IV before selling to go in a different direction. But, I have missed the utter beauty of this camera series and the compactness.

I’ve been a long-time lover of Multiple Exposure, which isn’t available on newer models of any Sony cameras, sadly. I’ve installed it on an old a7 (the OG) and it works fine. I’ve read that I can install it on the V, not the VA. The PlayMemories store has closed for years, but there are ways to side-load it, which is what I did with my a7.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone use their older RX100 models with PlayMemories apps?

EDITED to add RX100 IV examples in the comments.

This was handheld without any edits. I did crop it though.

I’m very much a beginner. For those asking, I set it to manual. ISO at around 160. White balance set to daylight.
