Re: Question for RX 100 owners

"I'm really disappointed with the JPEGs I am getting out of the RX100. The color/WB is almost always off"

I don't have the RX100 but I do have a Sony HX20V and A65 DLSR. I like them a lot except for the color/WB. The indoor tungsten light setting in particular just does not come close to being correct.

My Canon SX40 and SX260 I like the colors better on. Also I like the colors on my Olympus XZ2. The sensor is of course much smaller on the XZ2 than the RX100 but the lens much faster at full zoom than the RX100. Since I work at mid to full zoom mostly it makes the XZ2 a better choice for me overall when considering that the colors are better on the XZ2.

Knowing how the colors are on Sony is thing that keeps me from getting an RX100. It would sure be nice to have such a small pocket camera. So I settled for an Fuji XF1 since those you can get for $199 now. Good colors, although also slow at full zoom like the RX100.
