Everybody raves about the Sony RX100s, but I prefer this camera in several major ways. It feels more substantial when holding it and more solid. It's a little larger which makes carrying it easier and the handling better, and there is a built-in, textured rubber grip. The menu system, for me, is much better. Much more intuitive. The image quality for stills is just as good as my earlier Sony RX100III and maybe better. I don't shoot video much but the movie quality of the later Sony RX100s is better, plain and simple. The pop up viewfinder is not as convenient as the new Sony RX100VI's, but the viewfinder viewing quality is close if not quite as good. Zoom range is great (24-120) and at 1.8 to 2.8 is plenty fast. I personally like the Canon colors better and I find I have plenty of dynamic range for a 1" compact. Powered zooming on all these compacts sucks - almost wish it could be manual. Shooting speed is fast, with fast autofocus (can't tell much difference between my Sony and this) and little shutter lag. Battery life is not great, but will get you through a typical vacation day of taking photos. I still got an extra battery. Overall, I simply like it better than the Sonys and it fills my needs as a take-anywhere or backup to my DSLR.
Thanks. Like some others I am trying to decide between this camera & Sony rx100 vii. Price of the Sony just went up $100, making the Canon even more attractive. I didn't much like the two-step evf on the Canon. Do you find it a nuisance at all. Also, could you please explain how the in-camera raw processing on the Canon works. Will I still need LR or similar if I want to shoot raw?
Thanks,
Jay
