I am looking at a Sony RX100 to be used to capture my grandson (age 6) playing hockey. Has anyone had any direct experience capturing sports? Thanks in advance.


I have the m3 model and used it at a water skiing show when I had a problem with my Canon 7d and had excellent results.

I use a Sony RX100 Mark 3 for some of my wrestling and birds in flight shots. This picture was taken from the top rows in an arena and was on the opposite side of the floor. I did not have a press pass for floor shots and had to make due with the equipment I had.

The Mark 3 has zoom up to 600 mm (Unlike the other versions) so it was my camera of choice.

You might have forgotten what camera you're using. The RX10III zooms out to 600mm.
The RX100III goes from 24mm to 70mm.

BTW & FWIW; I use the RX100III (selectively) for grandkids outdoor soccer matches. Indoor games with poor lighting; I leave it in my pocket.

Yes indeed! It is the RX10III! At my age I remember pictures better than cameras! Thanks for the kind and gentle reminder.

Not a problem. I never liked the way they named them. Or the Canon printers, Pro-100, Pro-10, Prograf-1000.
