5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic compact travel camera
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019
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!
