Fortuitous Bumble posted:The Fuji XF1 I bought a few months ago suddenly started under/overexposing everthing as soon as I put the zoom past 35mm. I don't know how camera warranties work usually but I'm guessing since I bought it "like new" as opposed to new it's not under warranty anymore. Purely anecdotal, but my trusty little Canon IXUS 95 (bought "like new") survived years of rough handling, getting dropped, getting bathed in screwdriver, etc., without any major malfunctions. For a while the battery seemed dodgy, but that was due to a slightly loose lid, after I had dropped the camera onto the sidewalk (again). It magically went away after a few weeks. On other news, I ordered the RX100III!! I'm super excited, after upgrading from the IXUS to a proper" DSLR I found that I took less and less photos, because bringing the camera felt like a chore, and my phone camera was crap. I look foward to always having a camera with me again! plasmoduck fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Jul 31, 2014 |

My dad claims that these compact point and shoots tend to break more often for some reason, is this anyone else's experience? Because I might just buy something bigger next time if true, especially now that I have a newer Nokia phone that takes decent pictures while fitting in my pocket.

I picked up mine this morning - no buyer's regret here! :D I was actually saving to buy the canon 10-22mm for wide angle landscapes, but considering that I didn't even like bringing my DSLR kit on trips and hated having to stop to switch lenses, it wasn't a big jump to instead just spend a bit more money - and get a complete camera instead! After playing around for a day, everything seems to work really well. I appreciate the wider angle and the potential for narrow-ish DOF, the low light ability is fantastic, the articulate screen opens up possibilities, and the size is perfect! It does get a bit thumb-crampy to set it all up, but once it is I think it will be great. plasmoduck fucked around with this message at 12:21 on Aug 2, 2014 |

I've only had the RX100M3 for 1 month but love it already. The EVF was extremely useful on our ski trip, especially with glaring sunlight on the hills where any screen would've been useless. This little camera has never made me feel limited to take a shot I wanted. I can't wait to take it on more trips!

Consider that for a girl with small hands, camera "grippiness" might not be an issue. The RX100 is the perfect size for me - I also had a Canon 600D which I stopped using for travel (especially when I have to walk a lot). That being said, I still rely on it for events and when I need bokeh.

Happy owner of the RX100m3 chiming in - while I don't use the viewfinder often, I'm grateful that it's there when I need it (bright sun, snow etc.)
