The best compact camera of all? I’m not impressed...

This new Sony camera that just came out...I’m not impressed. This is me ranting about the new Sony RX100 VI. Don’t get me wrong, it’s full of interesting features that for some might be a deal breaker. Unfortunately, it’s quickest aperture is only f/2.8. And macro ability is quite inferior to at least some cameras, such as the Panasonic LX10. I feel as though Sony is actually losing at this competition. The dark aperture at telephoto is somewhat dissapointing. The LX10 seems at least in some ways to be a better camera. First, the LX10 has an aperture of f/1.4. Next comes the macro ability: 3cm as opposed to Sony’s newest 8cm. So, even though the LX10 has a shorter lens, it’s just about equal to that of the RX100 VI, since both cameras’ optics include the addition of special extra low dispersion elements not found on previous RX100 versions, meaning that once you start messing around with the aperture like a crazy maniac, or use every zoom setting that you can find, you’d have a higher success rate at getting great, detailed, photos. I’m not sure why RX100 VI is priced at...$1,200. Previous versions of the RX100 line actually have features that the VI lacks, such as an ND filter. At this price point, a compact camera should indeed have extra low dispersion elements combined with some zoom, however, the sensor should at least be a micro 4/3 size. Disappointing.
