Compact
The main advantages
Aksakal camera in the digital compact market. The RX100 line has been in production since the end of 2012 and has since outlived dozens of competitors. And it's understandable why: you are unlikely to find many compact cameras with an inch matrix, even if you go over the entire range of such cameras in recent years.
The maximum resolution that this model is capable of is 5472 * 3648, and in this mode you will not get a watercolor-like spot, as on many soap dishes, but a completely viable frame. The same with light sensitivity: even at ISO 1600 you can contrive to take a normal picture in 10 * 15 format.
It is possible to manually adjust the exposure. The weak point is insufficiently high-quality stabilization, the handles of the photographer should not shake when shooting.
