If you want better low light in a compact camera, and frankly if you want a compact that's better than your phone, the go to would be the Sony RX100. They have several versions. New, the RX100 III for $650 seems the cheapest.
But you can get an RX100 I used for $200 on Amazon. That's what I'd recommend if you're budget conscious.
It'll be better in low light than any compact you can get for cheap new.
Maybe look up a RX100. I've heard great things about them and they are small, light cameras. Just not cheap.
Edit: actually, it's not too bad. The older models arent too expensive. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Premium-Compact-Digital-28-100mm/dp/B00889ST2G
Really interesting! Would this, for example, be a good camera?
This is the one I mean, but in the "Compare To Similar Items" section, it looks like the are multiple, more expensive, iterations with the same DSC-RX100 model number. Is this one a good buy?
I'll second /u/Bester2001 and say the S110 is a great camera. It looks like you could get it for $200 right now. If you want to upgrade a bit more, I would pick the Sony RX100 (link: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DSC-RX100-Sensor-Digital-Camera/dp/B00889ST2G/). It's more expensive ($500) but I think it's significantly nicer. It's still pocketable and small so no problems there. The great thing with this camera is you can get really great depth of field pictures. You know when you see pictures and the background is blurry? This camera can help you get some of those shots if you want. All in all, it's a great camera.
You can definitely keep either of these cameras for a few years and they're great for families.
Trust me. I used to carry the whole kit in my Camelbak (3 lenses, filters, tripod, ect.). This gives you 90% of the shots with 3% of the kit.
I'd suggest checking out a sony RX-100 (Mk 1, not 2 or 3): amazon link. You can check ebay for lower prices as well. It's a compact all-around camera that has both landscape and macro modes. However, its 'macro' mode is not as close up as more serious 'macro' cameras (macro == close up photography). Video example of what the Mk2 can do, all of which the Mk1 can do
i have a very beat up: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Premium-Compact-Digital-28-100mm/dp/B00889ST2G
30" f2.5-f3.5
i have a very beat up: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Premium-Compact-Digital-28-100mm/dp/B00889ST2G
30" shutter with F2.5
every 30 seconds it would compile the light into 1 shot and then do that 5 times
its not as good as a DSLR but its extremely travel-friendly and removes the hassle i'd probably have with all the different lenses
Is it this? Says that it's 1.41 thick. That's pretty close to the perfect option for me provided it's thin enough.
Looking for a camera with great video and photography capabilities in low light while still being small and not too expensive. My question is: does anyone have any experience with insert one of the camera's listed below both with video and photography? I'm very interested in the Sony A6000 but I'm open for other suggestions.
Sony DSC-RX100 (Able to get it for € 385,00)
Sony Alpha a6000 ($750) vs Sony DSC-RX100/B ($500) vs Olympus OM-D E-M10 ($550)?
I'm a total noob and looking to get my first decent camera. Mostly just need a camera for when I travel - nothing fancy. In order of importance: Durability > Ease of use > Portability.
Amazon links: Sony-RX-100, Olympus OM-D E-M10 and Sony a6000
Is the price difference to the a6000 worth it?
So this was all shot on my Sony DSC-RX100. Would really like some feedback.
Pocketable-smaller: Best Sony RX100 version you can afford. This package comes with two batteries. You will need at least two.
Advantage to a dslr is better pictures (in theory and mostly) disadvantage is size - you won't want to take it out to regular events.
Sony RX100 is the best quality camera at the lowest price in the smallest size. At US$398, it just barely fits your budget.
No Whale Whisperers :O?!
It's this year's Traveler photo contest's winner, and the photo was taken by a now 400 dollars RX100.
Edit: Well, it seems that they're only from the "Your Shot" contest :P
I just finished an intro to analog photography course (where I used an SLR) and want to buy a digital camera for fun. I am currently looking at the Sony RX100 and the Canon EOS Rebel T5 EF-S, which are both about $400 on Amazon.
Thoughts on the two? Others to look at? Thoughts on a point and shoot vs a DSLR?
Looking to keep my budget under $500, though lower is better. Thanks for the help.
looks good thanks
A proper camera like The RX100
