RX100 owners (esp. I&II), how is it for portraits? Possible to get a bit of defocus in the background? I see that the RX100 gets down to f1.8, but reviews say this is only at the extreme wide angle end and that speed drops off pretty quick as you go telephoto.

I'm getting a point and shoot on the basis of the old maxim, the best camera is the one you have with you. Reviews say that the mark 3 keeps lower f-numbers as you zoom, but it's exactly double the price of the mark 1 so... Got very little from that flickr search, but using the camera finder shows that you can get some reasonable portrait shots: https://www.flickr.com/photos/54965810@N07/7986324825/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/124899107@N07/17152458525/

Also it's half the price of the mk3 (£280 and £570 in the UK).

Haggins posted:As for taking better pictures, that's all in the photographer. The only way to take better pictures is to be a better a photographer. To pick up on this point, I have a G7x which I enjoy using but basically just shoot on auto, which I'm sure is a waste of its capabilities. I don't really have much idea what I'm doing beyond that, such as manual control, compostion or how to process RAW. Are there any good basic tutorials on the internet (or even books) for just getting into this stuff? Specifically aimed at someone with a fixed-lens camera rather than a DSLR would be ideal, since lens choice doesn't come into my shooting at all (and right now I only have the g7x to work with). I'm particularly interested in landscapes and good nature shots.

Sadly I do not have archives, but thanks for the links. I'll have a read this evening! Do you know of a basic RAW processing tutorial as well? I have a camera which is capable of producing them, and a trial of Lightroom, but not really sure what I'm doing with them. I have noticed from shooting raw+jpeg and viewing both without any processing that the camera corrects for a lot of lens distortion automatically in the jpeg.
