Rare Keith1010 Posted January 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2016 On all our cruises I bring one or two DSLR cameras but I also bring a point and shoot for various purposes. I might use the Point & Shoot to take photos of food or use it in port in certain places where I don't want to lug around one of the nicer cameras. In the past I've used various point and shoot from Luxix to Canon Powershot. I am not happy with my Lumix for many reasons even though I liked previous models. I would appreciate recommendations that some of you might have. Right now I am looking at: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV Canon PowerShot G5 X I've never owned a Sony. Anyway, would appreciate suggestions. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted January 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I have never been happy with the small inexpensive P&S cameras as they tend to work fine outdoors but have problems indoors. On Black Friday I purchased a Samsung WB350 (21X zoom with WiFi) and so far have been very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c230k Posted January 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Have the Sony RX100 for over a year, love the range and fast lens, Great for indoor use, never been disappointed. Steve Huff says it best. http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2012/07/26/the-sony-rx100-digital-camera-review/ Also http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sony-cybershot-dsc-rx100 If you are interested in the Sony RX series, I would compare them all, think the original for the price is hard to beat. Good Luck Tom :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RX100III and IV are very similar, with most of the differences being in speed and video. If you're mostly shooting single shot stills, save some money and get the RX100iii. If you want to shoot 16fps... and capture 4k video, and capture super slow motion HD video, then go with the RX1000iv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 26, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thank you for the advice. I welcome additional advice on both these cameras and others that others would recommend. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
