Enjoy the new cam! I'm still loving mine.

Just received mine and have to say I love it. I have always shot with a soft release and really missed it when I picked up the RX100. It never occurred to me that they would have stick ons! Thanks for the heads up Amin.

I just ordered some soft releases, thanks for the link Amin.

Under the wrench icon in the menus, tab 2, second entry down, "mode dial guide", set to off.

I don't here the clicks wide open but the auto focus does make noise.

Very nice pics!

You don't need the Macro setting. The RX100 can focus at it's minimum (ie: macro) distance in any mode. So shoot as you normally would with whatever control you want over the settings in any mode.

Is just a single very low "click click" that occurs after focusing each time you half press? If this is what you are hearing (same on mine), it is the aperture stopping down. If you listen closely, it occurs when you release from the half press as well, when the aperture opens again.

You can though, shoot RAW+JPG and then after the fact (which is where I play with it) use Watercolor and Illustration while in viewer mode. Menu - Img View tab #2 - Picture Effect

Carryspeed ships to the UK.

Actually i dont think they are available yet. They had the same thing when the cpl filters were being made. Sign up to be notified when they are available and you'll get in on the ground floor!

The 42mm CPL filters are in stock again; NEW MagFilter CPL (Circular Polarizer) Filter by Carry Speed | Carry Speed Store

I have -.3 dialed in all the time.

A matter of preference I think. I prefer the idea of easily removing the complete assembly, minus the virtually un noticeable attachment ring. With lensmate, the attachment ring uses a mechanical fastener with the filter and thus sticks up from the lens about 2mm. No doubt it will do the job as...

I ordered from their website NEW MagFilter CPL (Circular Polarizer) Filter by Carry Speed | Carry Speed Store which I don't see a way to pre order either. I thought I had pre ordered but maybe I just got in at the right time to get one from the first batch.

There have been concerns about the quality of the second lens in the filter. In the example the guy made, which I am copying, he uses a 46-49 step up ring. He uses only the magnetic ring and red base of the set up, attached to the step up ring, then uses 49 mm filters. If I am not mistaken he is...

If you check the filter makers web site you'll see that you put a small thin metal ring on the front of the lens. It is affixed with a 3M adhesive and is easily removed if required. The magnetic part of the filter attaches to this.

Their first batch has sold out. I pre ordered mine so it should be in sometime this week. I love the opportunity to use whatever filter I want.

Checkout what this enterprising fellow did over on dpreview. I am so impressed that I am going to do the same thing when mine arrives this week. Carry Speed filter holder turned out to be fantastic!: Sony Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

I love the B&W one!

I am very pleased with this camera as well. I gave up my beloved X100 to go to this one. Just a note on MACRO, it is available in both SCN and iAUTO modes but more importantly, the camera automatically focuses at MACRO distances when in any mode at the wide end. I haven't found a need to look...

Hi Paul, MR mode remembers the focal length that you save to each spot (3) and returns to it when you select this mode. Regards Keven

I'm looking forward to mine too!

It does have a Macro mode accessible through the SCN function or automatically in iAuto mode. Interestingly though, you don't need to use it as the camera will focus at macro distances in any of the shooting modes (PASM). As for quality, I think in a number of cases people don't really...

The pics of my grandson are the whole picture, no crops (the ones above here have been reduced in size for uploading, the ones on page 3 have original size on flickr.). They look and print fine at 8x10. I haven't tried the RAW yet so can't help you there. I am very happy with this camera.

I've ordered one as well.

If you are concerned about the speed of this camera and it's ability to shoot kids, fear no more. This thing focuses very fast! DSC00599 by keven v, on Flickr DSC00587 by keven v, on Flickr DSC00585 by keven v, on Flickr

Received mine yesterday and so far am quite impressed! The big reason I switched from the Fuji X100 to this camera was to make it easier for my wife to take pics. She never learned to appreciate the X100 like I did lol. With that in mind I wanted to try the camera on the setting that she will...

Mine arrives tomorrow/Wednesday. Can't wait.

Who doesn't like a quickie?

I took the plunge and ordered mine today!

SOLD After discussing the purchase of the new Sony RX100 with my wife (she needs a camera that she can figure out) I have been informed that I must sell this one before I can buy the other. It pains me to do this but my better half has been very tolerant of my past purchases so I think it's...

This is certainly going to be a strong contender for another camera in my house! My wife wants something she doesn't have to learn and the X100 definitely isn't that! I have been reading everything I can about this camera and I have come up with a question based on a remark I saw on another...

Thanks Don. I notice times that he is happy to accommodate me (or was too young to notice lol) and others that he is bored with the whole process or something else caught his attention. He's my favorite subject so he'll just have to suck it up lol.

Aren't they awesome? Almost like they should belong to a girl lol.

This is a small compilation of my grandsons eyes. I was bored yesterday and went through my entire collection of him and picked what I thought were decent sets of eyes. He is almost three now and these pretty evenly track his growing up. They were taken with a Canon Rebel, an Olympus EPL1 and my...

One thing that worked for me was to remove the SD card, start the camera and format the internal drive. Then camera off and reinsert the SD card.

I happened to be shooting a bunch of pics after upgrading and noticed that the battery indication is way more reliable than in the past. Prior to this upgrade (though it could be a result of 1.20) when the battery level turned red it would fail on me after 2-3 shots. Yesterday I got down to 1...

I have heard on another forum, from someone who has seen the update, that it is supposed to be released tomorrow.

For future reference: Take a picture before updating. Take out the card and set it aside. Use another card to complete the firmware update. When done, put the original card with picture in the camera. The counting will carry on from the last pic. If you didn't do this, go into your photos and...

Thanks for all the replies! A quick update. I also posted this on another site and the answer there made it very clear. "The difference in exposure is from the fact that the shutter did not completely clear the full sensor before shutting back off (since it needs at least 1/1000 to open/close...

Thanks Ray, I was in full manual, F2, ISO200. If I can over ride it in this mode does it mean I am shooting at 1/4000? There are certainly differences in the exposures so the shutter speeds must be different.

I know that according to the manual, 1/4000 and 1/2000 should not be available at f/2. Just for fun I took these three pics. The first is at 1/1000, then 1/2000 and finally 1/4000. All were at f/2 with ISO set to 200. Without worrying about the exposure of each shot, I wanted to see what the...

Thanks for the comments! These are looking west as the sun was setting. Camera was on Astia. No piloting here lol. Just an air traffic controller.

Over the Caribbean. In some you can see the engine bottom left. These are untouched OOC JPEGs

Perhaps the test process/steps could be a sticky topic in this section outlining the steps involved. It is a huge help. It confirmed the issue for me.

Love the pics!
