The camera does all of that and has build in functions beyond that, which means I will not hit a functional limit immediately if something might become important for me.
What I like a lot:
The \u201erich black and white\u201c function, which takes three shots and combines these in a black and white HDR image \u2026 not so well suited for moving sceneries, but the results are quite nice if you are looking for great pictures out of the camera that do not look \u201eovercooked\u201c but just with nice tonality, no further work needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following pictures are jpegs straight from camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And some pictures of the camera itself \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sony RX100VII is a capable camera in a very small package. It has an abundance of options to help you through your photographic visions whilst maintaining a good level of usability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The sweet spot for me is the portability in addition to my analogue gear or as main camera whilst riding my bicycle (due to it\u2018s size it can come along quite easily). <\/p>\n\n\n\n It would not replace my digital equipment, but it outpaces my phone camera quite easily. It does not draw a lot of attention, from that perspective its very discrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the size and mobility gains, its a no-brainer, I would buy it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why did I buy this (another) camera?
