I don't consider 'cloning' a big deal. In this case on the right side there was a telephone pole with a big transformer and then an electrical line going from the pole to the building in the background. It took away from the subjects so I got rid of it, took about 2 minutes.

So your point by scrutinizing the picture is what? Finding fault in my limited abilities in LR5 or? Fact is I didn't put up the picture to be scrutinized, rather to show the abilities of an RX10. I was at the wedding doing the video, at this point I was using the RX10 filming. After I got enough video in this setting for my edit I snapped a few stills, the video capabilities of the RX10 are just more gravy ...... beautiful video from this little gem.

I'm perplexed ......... I think the complainer also has a Sony RX100 ......

I'm also perplexed that so many give their opinion without giving any vantage point of their expertise. This is after all a photo site. would be nice if the 'experts' giving their opinion would place up a picture taken with the camera they are raving about, would make it very clear if someone should give weight to a particular opinion.

Words are cheap, photos give us a perspective to the persons expertise.

To critique someone's picture when not asked is wrong, maybe that is why so many do not upload pictures. Some have nothing more to do that to put down others, very sad world we live in now. I think I'll stop sharing pictures, just don't need the grief.

Yes it may have been a great fit for a realtor. But after spending $800 for the G1 X Mark II, it will be quite a while before I buy another camera :-)

My Canon has a 24 - 120. I often have to fiddle with the white balance in PP; so maybe the Sony is better for that. BTW my participation in this forum has taught me to use the eye dropper for white balance. I have greatly appreciated that tip. I don't have a purse :-) Yes, the Canon is huge and heavy for a point and shoot. But I don't mind and actually think that it makes a better impression for clients to see me with that big thing rather than a little thing. I know that an EVF is important to a lot of people but I have no idea why. The Canon sensor is 1.5 so it dominates the Sony in that respect. I don't need anything near to 20MB. Reportedly, there are advantages to limiting to 10-12 as does the Canon; something about larger pixels gather more light.

But these Sony's get a lot of positive feedback and the first Canon G1 never did and my updated Canon hasn't either. I do know that I have a lot more ability to control light and shadow in difficult interior shots with bright open windows than I did with my previous camera, Samsung TL500, that has a sensor size of 1", as does the Sony.

Attached is an example. I let the camera expose for the windows and then lighted the dark room in PP. I don't think that my Samsung could have done this.
