NEW (old) CAMERA

[FUJI]

For the past 5 years on rainy days, I have always relied on my compact...once high spec...LX5 because it was small enough to tuck inside a pocket or under a rain wear collar.

Today, things changed because, on Sunday I spotted something n Ebay that everyone seem to have missed....a used 20 mp SONY rx100 MK III,.........I have been following a user on my other forum who produces the goods with a MK I version.

The RX 100 series is SONY's flagship pro-user, point and shoot....I won't produce the spec here, but it is worth looking up, or looking at a YouTube review on the MK III ...the series has reached the MK V now. They hold their  price across the range.l.

Mine arrived in the post just a few minutes ago, so this is the first shot taken, after setting it to shoot RAW only and to check that the RAW file went through my system OK.

The reason it was being missed on Ebay?  It has a very nasty scratch on one corner, as if the owner had accidentally rubbed it along a stone wall.......nothing else as far as I can tell...to get an £800 plus camera for  lot less than half price was a no brainer to me so I took the chance.

We will see how I progress n the next few days.

 

My LX5 ?  it will be sold to fund new batteries for my new toy.

Nice one FUJI.  A scratch on the corner is nothing.  It's the results of what it does that matters.   Look forward to seeing how you get on with this bit of kit.

Thats should prove to be a fantastic camera with a BIG bump in sensor performance over your LX and a super sharp lens.
