    Sony RX10 1V the new boy.

    Sorry 3 quick questions; Firstly, it seems with the options are limited with custom hold eg can't set min shutter speed so plan to use 3 MR settings. Why is it if I set each of these to have a different exposure +1.0, -0.7 and +0.7, when i recall the settings, while everything else is saved...

    Sony RX10 1V the new boy.

    Thanks guys. If I stick with using the camera I will definitely invest in more batteries/charger. The picture quality in anything but very good light seems really poor despite setting widest aperture (i guess understandable given the lens isn't that wide so light will always be a constraint)...

    Thanks Steve, I bought myself a spare battery and plan to just charge them in the camera. I've set myself 3 pre-sets (I hope !) 1/ bird in a bush - centre focus and meter, C-AF 2/ BiF - wide focus, centre metre, +0.7 exposure, C-AF 3/ scenery - wide focus, wide metre, .....and presume I just...

    Thanks Steve. I've followed your lead in many ways, buying this alongside a Canon DSLR and likely to end up using this 95% of the time if I can master it properly. I saw you used it in Thailand I'm due to be there in Dec though very unlikely CV19 will allow us to go (wife and I had the...

    Sony RX10 1V the new boy.

    Thanks for the suggestion Nils. I hadn't even heard of 4/3 cameras. Is the picture quality better than the Sony pure bridge camera ? How does the 100-400 get you to 800mmm - is that using a 2x converter ? I guess i'd need another lens for the wide angle if I went that route though could just...

    Hi All. I currently use a Canon D7mkii, 300mm prime canon lens and Canon 2x so effectively getting me 600mm based on some great advice from this forum 5 years ago. Great shots but 3.7kg over my shoulder on a black-rapid strap. I'm 57 and getting shoulder and back pain when I carry this for...
