Larger prints from Sony RX100 Vi or Vii (Page 2): With the RX100III, I often use the LCD when "snap" shooting, or when "shooting from the hip" ~ usually when there's no time to bring...

On a different note with the same camera, has anyone that uses a DSLR holding it up to your eye for stability have a problem holding the camera arms extended somewhat with lens extended shooting from the LCD?
I have found it awkward in the past, however I am thinking of buying a used RX100 to try it again.
Sorry to hijack, however I didn't feel my question warranted a seperate post.

With the RX100III, I often use the LCD when "snap" shooting, or when "shooting from the hip" ~ usually when there's no time to bring the camera to my face, in order to use the EVF. I purchased the III specifically because of the pop-up Electronic Viewfinder.

Should be fine as long as you didn't shoot at ISO 6400 and don't crop too much. I've done a few uncropped images to 24x36 and was pleased (surprised really) with the results. As long as you aren't going to pixel peep the entire image for noise and faults using a loupe, you should be fine.

many thanks for the good information

Both of these were taken at full telephoto with the Sony you are considering, then cropped about 50% and printed to 13 x 19 without any discernible loss of quality. Additionally, the coffee drinker was taken through a bus window.
I use the Sony as a walk-around here in NYC and elsewhere when I do not intend to primarily photograph.
It does lose a little definition at full telephoto (300 mm equiv) compared to the pro glass of my OLYs.

nice work!...many thanks...Larry

I have the Rx100m3 and I think it would be no problem as long as you are using low iso’s.

I've found that having a neck strap the right length to extend (brace)the camera against at display panel viewing distance helps greatly in getting steady camera shots However I still much prefer the eye level viewfinder with my arms (elbows especially) well braced into my abdomen and my feet set slightly (12") apart and at a 45 deg angle to the scene I wish to photograph. When a lower camera angles requires, I prefer to bend my knees or kneel. I've never laid flat on my belly to get a shot through the eyepiece. When the scene requires a camera position lower or higher than can be achieved with the camera held to my eye, I use the tensioned neck strap technique with the lcd screen tilted for maximum visibility depending on camera position . BTW I feel that your question is indeed worthy of a separate post.
P.S.: I still get far too much camera shake since I have essential tremors.
