I have test shots from my T7i with 55-250mm STM lens at 250mm (400mm equiv), hand held, and they are sharp out to the edges.

My T7i does not do that. I just now tested it, and In Av mode at f/5.6 I got a full range of ISO depending on where I pointed the camera (dim light or bright light), just as I would expect. Of ...

I had (and loved) a Canon S100 and switched to a Sony RX100 III almost two years ago. I got mine used for $475; probably less now. I love the pop-up electronic viewfinder in bright light. And the ...

Since I got my RX100 III almost two years ago, I've taken it as my only camera on all trips and love it  If I were taking a "special trip" and wanted the backup of a second camera, I'd add the new ...

I also had an S100 before I got my RX100 III. I shoot RAW and found that I process the images from the RX100 III very similar to how I process those from my Canon DSLR, needing minimal sharpening. ...

P mode is like Auto except that you get to specify certain things like type and location of autofocus (very important). I mostly use P (never Auto) with my RX100 III, sometimes A (aperture ...

My RX100 III will do the same, just not with using longer focal lengths, which is why I got it..

That's what I did 1 1/2 years ago, from an Amazon seller for $475.

Oops, I meant "with the new M6 model" but it's too late to edit that post.

I had an S100 before I got my RX100 III, but don't recall the blown-highlight problem. I also shoot RAW. I do remember that those images needed much more sharpening than do those from my RX100 ...

You have to be kidding me, but of course you're not since I also saw that Amazon listing. Simply ridiculous.

I've been reading all the posts about replacing a prior version of the RX100 with the new M3 model, and always thought why not have both which is exactly what you are doing. For now, I'll stick ...

I'll just add that I got a Sony AGR2 grip ($14) for my RX100 III soon after I bought the camera, and have been very pleased with it.

You are so right. I just checked and AF-C is on. I guess when using face detection, I should use AF-S.

Using face detection AF?

Yes...

How would you compare your M5 to the M3?

This "hunting" when using face detection AF consists of the image alternatively getting a bit larger then smaller then repeat.

Also interesting to me is that the third-party spare battery for my Canon DSLR seems to hold its charge forever.

That's what I'm going to do and it will completely avoid the problem. It's the first day of the month today, so I'll just make that my month-day-one habit.
