Hello,

Thinking of getting a Sony RX100 VI or VII.

Has anyone had experience making 16 X 20 prints with a good Image Quality from this camera?

Many thanks.

Can only give you my experience. I have had 3 "100"s now the Sony RX100 4.
It is a 1"s advanced Sony sensor. bonze X 20mp. And whatever magic Sony put in these cameras
they take sharp shots. A zeiss 1.8 lens.
The newer camera has been getting rave reviews.
I have had and have many Sony's camera's Their 1" sensor technology from the
beginning has been breakthrough. I have the Sony a7s II Full frame a great camera.
That is why I say larger prints will not be a problem. Past 16 x 20. Not sure but
I am working are starting to print and you don't need a 40 meg camera to get
a good print. Good luck.

You should have no trouble making an excellent 16x20 print from a 20mp file.

To their credit Sony has stopped using the term 1" sensor, mainly because the sensor itself is about 5/8". They call it a 1.0-Type, and have been for some time.

The 16 x 20 should be no issue as long as the photographer does their job.

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.

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.

Great article in latest Outdoor Photographer about sensor size and he talks lots about print sizes.

Should be no problem. I took that camera in to a Joe Bonamassa concert and printed on my Epson printer some 13 x 19 prints that he later signed. The prints easily could have gone bigger.

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.
