I have then new Sony Nex7. It is a great camera. 24.3 mp and all the options a camera 3x its size comes with. My only suggestion would be to forgo the body with 18-55mm lens option and buy the body alone, then match it to the 18-200mm they sell in their emount line.

Welcome to the Forum mate and indeed the camera club!

I had a look at the Sony Nex 7 and was impressed...

Hopefully I'll be looking at the RX100 this afternoon if they have it in...

i read the 24-70mm f2.8 is pretty much the standard zoom now as it's alledgedly good for portrait stuff amongst other things,

I bought its APS-C equivalent - Canon 17-55/f2.8 lens - and am highly satisfied with them. Moreover, it costs only 900 euro, contrary to 2200 euro for the new 24-70/2.8 USM II L.

Thanks Petesie, Quite a site you have here. loads of good info. I did lots of research before deciding on the Nex7. Deliveries were delayed because of the floods here last fall and I almost pulled the trigger on buying a different camera because of the wait. I am so glad I didnt. It really is an impressive little machine.

It's your Forum mate and it's up to you how it flourishes.

Back on the camera trail...I visited my camera guy this afternoon and the Sony RX100 hasn't come out here yet...bugga. I did pick up a carbon fibre Manfrotto 055CXPRO4 tripod with a 324RC2 Head which I've been promising myself for a while and managed to have a feel of the D800 which is nice but truth be told I can't really justify loading it on to my CC.

I was hoping he would have the new Nikon lenses (24-85mm & 18-300) but they have not arrived yet.

My PI GF however fell in lurve with the new D3200 kit and muggins bought it for her...which means no more gear for at least 3 months.

What about the new sony cybershot HX20V I think is the model..any thoughts about this camera ?

[pacman]

The HX20V is no RX100 but it doesn't cost as much either. Most of the Cybershots can take a decent picture & Sony do incorporate a lot of features into their Point'N'Shoots.

Check out this review Aussieguy, it will tell you all you need to know -

indeed they do take a decent picture, i have a hx9 which i use when i need to be light. only word of caution is my sony at least has a habit of over exposing when there are is a mix of light types. and err dont try the video unless you have something more than a class 4 sd card lol, i found that out to late

Interesting views.

My little cheap and cheerful Fuji served me well on the last 2 trips, especially on it's main mission as a "Song Kran" camera, but that HX20 is well and truly on my radar now. I'd really like to get something a little bit more quality and that also takes 1080p video on the next tour so I'll spend the next couple of months trying to justify the cost.

Kai on Digital Rev has just reviewed the Sony DSC RX100.



DP Review gave it 78% which ain't bad in their books.

I had a swift clutch at my local Sony outlet yesterday and it felt good, it had only just been delivered so not an extended play...450 quid here.
