I have the RX100VI. Great travel camera. built in finder is great to use in bright or outdoor shoots. Sony has a polarizer than has a glue-on piece which is metallic and permanently is on the front of the camera. I would buy their products because they really back their goods! It really makes a difference and is the most important filter to have. The polarizer is magnetic and it also acts as a density filter. Cry once-when you buy it, so you never have to look back!
It has never fallen off and I keep it in a filter container when not actually taking pix, as it is too thick to fit on the camera with their neck/shoulder leather carrier which has a drop down front flap. Walking around, put the front flap in your pocket so you can get some great impromptu pix right from your waist if need be, as you can put the view screen facing up.

I HAVE THE RX100 VI AND THE SONY JACKET CASE (LCJRXF) WHICH IS GREAT TO USE WITH THE FRONT & TOP WHICH SNAP OFF AND ON.THE CASE SCREWS INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAMERA SO YOU MUST TAKE IT OFF FOR CHANGING THE BATTER OR THE FILE. I CAN OPEN THE SCREEN AND SHOOT FROM THE WAIST IF NEED BE. THE CASE IS EXTREMELY WELL MADE AND IS VERY SECURE. CRY ONCE!!-WHEN YOU WRITE THE CHECK, AND THEN-BE HAPPY!
I HAVE THE FILTER ADAPTOR FOR 49MM MODEL VFA-49R1 ($30), WHICH I USE TO PUT ON A PRO 49MM HGX CIRCULAR POLARIZER ($60).I NEED TO TAKE THE EASILY REMOVABLE ADAPTOR WHICH I LEAVE THE POLOARIZER ON ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN I AM JUST CARRYING THE CAMERA. I CAN QUICKLY UNSNAP THE FRONT COVER OF CASE AND SNAP THE ADAPTOR WITH FILTER ON IN ABOUT 10 SECONDS.
WHEN IT IS SUNNY / BRIGHT OUT, IT IS ALWAYS ON THE CAMERA, SO I NEVER HAVE TO FIGHT MR. REFLECTION, RESULTING IN GOOD TRUE COLOR DETAILS.

To be full frame, I believe that the sensor is = to the size of a 35mm negative.

I use an Alpha 7S which only has 12mp, but the pixels are quite large to give the ASA range from 100 t0 408,000. Quite effective for low light.
I do not go above ASA 6,000 99% of the time.
If you have good lenses already, you can certainly buy an adapter that will work on the 7Riii.
I use prime lenses, and the camera has a built in zoom up to 4X. I don't go above 2X, as I feel that it compromises resolution.
I acquired Leica M lenses (solid and compact and great glass) over the years so I bought a Novoflex adapter which is as solid as the Alpha.
They are all primes (from 21-135mm; F2.0-4.0) and manual focus and F settings. To go to auto focus for my lenses, I could trade up to an Alpha 7Siii. BUT: !!! It is a bigger and heavier body, which are not pluses for me.

Thanks for so much! I have just started to use my TZ100.
I went to an indoor concert last Friday evening, and I just wanted a few pix of the band. I had turned off the screen and just used the EVF, so as to not interefere with those around me, and not draw attention of the Camera-Police.
The EVF is small, but we humans adjust to such.
Anyway, I was quite pleased with the results. Remember one thing: when you go past 100mm, you lose ability to shoot wide open (2.8 focal).
I had not practiced much for pitch-black adjusting the camera, so 1/2 of my shoots were inadvertently shot using 4K. Very pleased with the results.
Word to the wise: do some dry runs at home at night time without lights so that you can better operate this very powerful miniature machine that has so much built into it-if you can find it....
I got the A.White book and am wading through it.
Could you be a little more specific as to the LensMate install and if you are going to keep it on "most of the time", or is it now an easy add-remove?
Does the clip on attach to the EVF and will it permit a close view so that it would not light up your face area if shooting in a crowded auditorium?
Touch screen is new to me, also, so I am trying to concentrate on better use of setting and controlling the usuL suspects: ASA, shutter speed, F stops.
I also got at Wal-M a Case Logic that holds the camera and 2 spare batteries and 2 cards. /About $12. The Panasonic adaptor for this is also a big help for quick charging of a spare battery
Again, thank you for sharing your progress with what is considered the 1st or 2nd best compact for travel.

I am somewhat old fashioned and try not to get a sore back. I usually carry one full frame body and 3 of the following prime lenses:
21mm f3.45, 28mm 2.8, 50mm 2.0, 90mm 2.8, and 135mm 4.0
I use electronic zoom for the 135, which doesn't always do the glass justice. Or, I just try to get closer to the subject.
My pocket camera is a Panasonic ZS100 (25-250 mm) which has been excellent in a pinch, and its 4K is very crisp.

Hi John-
I use a Sony Alpha 7S with my vintage lenses so I am always manual for focus and aperture. In 90% of my shots, I put the ISO on auto with a range.. I usually put the minimum at 100 and a maximum about 2-6,000. I use the exposure comp settings to adjust my subject vs. the background light available.
So far, I am pleased with the results.

To lower / eliminate the halo effect, I take a 1000mg Bilberry capsule daily. It seems to help the color cones of my eyes. To help strengthen my optic nerve (connection between my eyes and brain), I take 40 mg of Lutein capsule daily. Mention this to your ophthalmologist and go from there. I was told of these two supplements about 20 years ago by a close friend of ours who has taken these two on the suggestion of her husband, who is an ophthalmologist.

The Safari model I use is aluminum, so I cannot speak for the carbon fiber.

Your doctor should know exactly what your current corrections are, and he / she should be able to correct this via cataract surgery.
I had the surgeries three years ago and I have "very, very weak" prescribed bifocals for near (newspaper or book reading) and far (for driving).
Ask your doctor about the near-far approach, because for the far, you might be sacrificing distance measurement as your eyes will not be able to triangulate-like the rangefinder principle.

About 12 years ago I bought the Gitzo safari model-the legs are wider at the bottom so it is great of most any soil, including sand. It has never let me, or my camera, down. And, its legs can spread out flat so I can shoot from as low as 6 inches off the ground.
Very, very stable.
They should not wear out, so it should be fine used, so long as the seller has told you the truth of its condition.
Cry once, when you buy it! Why risk your camera and lens falling to the ground or pavement!

I am using lens between 3 and 30 years of age on a Sony Apha S. Go to a photography store with your lens and get their recommendation as to which adaptor for the intended camera.
If your lens has great clean glass and is not too heavy, do not chintz on the adapter as you will probably keep it on your new camera. You should consider it part of the camera from a durability and easy on / off standpoint. It should be able to accept all Nikkor lens of the approximate generation of your current ones, which will enable you to get decent vintage lens of different focal lengths, which would be interchangeable with that adaptor..
However, before you buy the adaptor, go to a big box store and compare the size and weight of the kit lens for the new camera vs. your Nikon. Take your current camera with the Nikkor lens with you and compare it to the potential camera and any other lens which interest you as to weight, with the F length and F stop opening, durability, weather limitations, etc.
Good luck.

In addition to the landscapes in Italy, there are many 3-400 year old buildings (churches, museums, town halls, etc., which would require the 24mm. Just put the camera on the floor in the area between the altar and the pews, use the self-timer and capture some interesting ceiling pix-using existing light only.
Or, shoot the stained glass windows front on, as they may be as old as the structure.
Have a great trip!

Hi Rob-Excellent pix.
Especially the last 3 where the fledgling's head is visible, so to show the resulting destination of the catch.
With the fledgling looking straight ahead and not at Momma or Pop, I presume it is a millennial.
By the way, the fish looks like a shortie, but, hey, the osprey is an endangered species, so they are exempt fromfish & wildlife regs.
Length of lens?

Got a Brownie hawkeye for my 14th birthday.
Went off to college a few years later without the camera, and returned at Thanksgiving and learned that it had become my mother's camera.
Fast forward to age 24 and camera-less, and my wife was about to release our 1st child in an Army hospital where flash cameras were not allowed.
Bought a Rollie 35 with Zeiss-Tessar lens, variable focus was by visual guess, but variable speeds and f stops, with a built-in light meter so I could shoot pix through the nursery window
in B & W with no flash. The store even gave me a 10% discount because I was in the Army. Bought a used Leica M3 with 2 lens from the photographer who shot our daughter's wedding in that he needed another lens for his Hasselblad and they offered him a poor trade amount for his Leica stuff. Slowly acquired a few more lens over the years. Bout a Sony A7s (weighs les than the M3)which is excellent for existing light / candid shooting. Had to buy an adapter for the M lens-which can use any of Leica's lens from their early screw mount to the newest bayonets. Compact lens and the camera travel well. The lens are all manual compact, lightweight & essentially water proof (the Sony is "water resistant") which is fine except for absolute downpours.
