A tip: Thinking about a Sony RX100II? A funny way to save weight and $’s

Nice try, but it falls short at $500, and doesn't shoot RAW. Seems the big appeal to the author is the ability to use it to instantly share the picture via your Smart Phone. Being a non-Face book person, I find this totally useless.

I have been completely satisfied with my RX100, which really isn't that much more money than this.

I also found that the Apple Camera Connection Kit (a dongle for the SD card) works flawlessly with my iPad to transfer JPEGs, although I rarely use it, unless I want to preview a batch of pictures. I would guess it would work with an iPhone, but would eat up memory quickly. Seems the app for this thing places a smaller file on the phone.

Also there are now wireless SD cards on the market, but I haven't used one.

Thumbs down from me, but I bet a lot of young people will gobble them up for their texting-addiction.

Nick, i agree, i thought i would let somebody else do the bashing… :-)

I just picked up the RX100 M2 (I really liked the option of being able to add an external flash) and love the camera. One bonus feature of the M2 version is that it creates a hotspot and you can easily transfer photos to a smartphone or iPad so you don't need WiFi-enabled SD cards.

You know, some of the smartphones alone, take some "good enough" pics, enhanced by some of the HDR apps that are out there.

Most photographers buy lenses as an investment to use with camera body's that get replaced less often. This Sony is a throw away lens just like most point-and-shoot cameras. I'd rather have a Nokia 808 or Nokia 1020 if I was planning on using my smartphone as a dedicated camera.
