A good camera doesn't stop being a good camera just because newer models are made. All five models of RX100 are widely available and all five sit at different price points. The mk V is undoubtedly better, but it's also over £900. It's existence at double the price does nothing to stop this camera being a fantastic option for under £500.

I loved this camera until some c**t stole it

The £75 came through today.

Managed to submit my claim at last. Also had to go back and register the camera separately.

Not really. The first sentence is about your claim. The second is about the product registration. I found I had to go back into my account and register the product separately.

Claim site is sending mixed messages

Yup - tried reboots, hub reboot, cache and cookie clears...very odd. Will try again later.

Did you go via this link? https://www.sony.co.uk/cashback/summer-cashback

Did you select RX100M3 CEH?
I'm still getting;
Oops, something went wrong.
We're sorry. This service is temporarily unavailable. Please come back later and try again

That's good news! Was worried the prime day stock may be excluded? Will submit mine later (angel)

Sure did. Received the camera yesterday. Registered and applied for cashback today. Received the confirmation email about 30 minutes later.

did you buy on primeday

Try again today. I've just put in my claim and it went through okay, with a confirmation email.

There's no great hurry to claim cashback... I think the offer's on until September and you get a month after that.
Unless you need that 75 quid more than desperately, wait a couple of weeks and enjoy your camera.

right...

yesterday

what problem? when did you buy the camera?

I have the same problem and get an error message

My camera has arrived. Trying to register the cashback, but gettings an "ooooops - something went wrong". I hope this doesn't indicate an issue with getting the cashback? Possible busy website after Prime day?

64GB: No, that's perfectly fine. TBH, I usually just choose a card that's the best value and it just so happens, recently, the 16GB and 32GB cards have been better value. Some people prefer smaller cards so if you loose one of them or your camera gets stolen you only loose so many photos.

Looking at the user manual for the MK3 is states (based on a 2GB card)

Standard 295 images
Fine 170 images
Extra fine 125 images
RAW & JPEG 58 images
RAW 88 images

I always shoot in RAW and JPEG but you only really need to shoot RAW if you plan on editing in Photoshop or similar.

back in stock at 569 so probably properly over
awesome deal though

So many great cameras to choose from. I have a Canon eos 6d with L lenses, and olympus omd em10 mk2 with pro lenses. Just want this all in one Sony and no more to carry for day to day snaps. Must cure my camera addiction. confused

Hey dude... long time no speak :smiley:
I nearly went for the a6300 but went for this instead... really glad I did now.

Hey mikeyfive!
I was sooo tempted to but i do love my a6000 aswell

It's £75 cashback.

https://www.sony.co.uk/cashback/summer-cashback#cybershot1

Really delighted with this camera @£350 though... be really interested to see how it compares with my A6000.

I just got one, keep checking the page for new stock.

Thanks, is there any reason for not going 64gb or is it just unnecessary? No idea how much space a photo on one of these cameras takes up.

Edit: also is it bad to use a micro sd in a Sd adapter? Will the camera recognise that?

Somehow managed to buy for £427 at 18:15 or so.

Ordered this earlier, anyone recommend a memory card for this? No idea on what size and speed is needed

Dammit, gutted I missed out on this

Pretty sure you mean larger aperture.

Sold out I think

Oh well thats my mind made up price has gone up so gone for the cheaper option. Prob a big step up on the fuji that had the lens control fault that seems to be a common issue. What I should have done is got both and sent the one I like the best back given price/performance. She who hesitates and all that

Sold out? I can't see it at the £427 price point.

I think this is expired. Had it in my basket while shopping when it was moved into my 'saved for later' section as the price had gone up. It's now £579.99.

Personally that's where I really notice the difference. The larger sensor and smaller aperture allows great photos in very low light without the use of flash.

You sometimes get a better idea of the capability of the RX by looking at real world photos using this camera on Flickr https:[email protected]/pool/

Ultimately you get what you pay for. The HX90 is a capable camera but not in the same league as the RX100

greencode thanks for that, have seen some sample street scenes from the more expensive ones at night and you can look into windows that are not the main subject even when a streat lamp is right in front. Very impressive http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/sony-rx100-iii/YDSC00135.HTM . Cannot see any samples like this with the cheaper one but dont expect it would be anything like that

is this the camera youtubers use to film with?

I wasn't gonna buy another camera until they support automatic HDR

Doh The_Hoff has got me going now. Not sure which one to get? Coming from a fuji XF1 with the dreaded lens control issue :-(

Oooops. That's me! Hence bought this Sony for low key snaps (highfive)

Not only that but no one wants a huge DSLR shoved in their face. And you just look like a dad with a new birthday prezzie lol.

Only £50 cashback, but still a good deal as I was about to post myself. Lack of raw format and smaller sensor will put off the more advanced user though in comparison to this.

Depends on the quality you're after. The RX100 is high end compact and has a larger sensor and far better maximum aperture to name just a few things. If you're after a quick point and shoot then the HX90 is certainly a great camera but not a patch on the RX100.

3x optical zoom. For a compact camera where versatility is key (jack of all and all that) I find the lack of zoom extremely limiting.

HX90D (£75 cashback also) with its 30x zoom is a much better option for most IMO.

This has happened before with a similar promotion they ran. Worth taking a screenshot of the main page and if it fails get in touch. I've just pretended to go through and make the claim and from the dropdown only the DSCRX100M3GDI.YG model (£75 cashback) appears and the CEH doesn't. I might get in touch with them and see what's happening.

The main page shows as £100. However, if you look at the table in the FAQ the cashback shows as £75 for this model.

You pay £427, then claim £75 back from Sony.

I just grabbed this as a prime day warehouse deal and wondered if any of you think that I'd still be able to claim the cash back? I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Steal

I have this and its stunning. Ditched my monstrous slr its so good.

Ha, no definitely not. Take a look here https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras-other-accessories/ag-r2

For those buying this I always found my MK1 a little slippy/tricky to hold. I then bough the AG-R2 Grip which is a stick on rubber grip. Makes the camera feel a lot more comfortable to hold. There's a few of these available in Amazon Marketplace with 20% discount bringing it down to £8.66.

I loved this camera until some c**t stole it

Got it so CEH means Czech republic thanks

Super price without any cash back.

Now they are making version 5 I believe, for me it's not worth the money.

"CEH model on amazon so says it's 100 cashback. Even better!!" How do you go about getting £100 cashback? can you explain please

must be doing something wrong as it falls in the £75 bracket unless it when you actually log into sony? Tks

cashback is with Sony so should be no problem.

Seems to good to be true. Have screen captured in case there is any cashback dispute later.

CEH model on amazon so says it's 100 cashback. Even better!!
