I had £40 cashback on a Sony lens recently.Anyone had any experience of claiming Sony cashback? Seems that there have been problems in the past and I'm 'thinking' about an RX100 III.
Thanks,
AL
I have been using a Crumpler CC70 since the original RX100 was released and it does neatly fit the MK4 plus store a spare battery too (placing it in the pouch on the right hand side of the camera lens). Although I believe Crumpler no longer manufacture them, they are still available on eBay for example............
Ok - got the Kata ZP-4DL
The Mk4 just about fits into it. Have to be a bit (but not overly) careful when closing the zip - to ensure it does not catch the body.
It has a little internal pouch (for SD card), but definitely NOT getting a spare battery in there - if you put the camera in facing the front of the case and the right hand side of the camera at the top.
However, if you shove a battery right down to the bottom of the pouch and then put the camera with the lens facing the back of the case OR the left hand side of the camera in first - then you can just about make both fit - but very tight! And then it becomes bit of an effort getting the camera in and out...
Pics are without battery in the case
How strange as the Kata looks to be a tighter fit than the Crumpler CC70 I am using which according to their measurements is a smaller size?
Maybe it will stretch slightly with use?
@KIPAX I have recently upgraded from the RX100 M1 to the M5/V
Looking to buy the rx 100 mkIV having read up it seems the mkV isnt worth the price hike and may as well get mkIV
Looking at used prices around 550
BUT
currys have it at £660 with 100 cashback.. I ahve never used cahback before.. do you get the money or credit?
would make the camera new £569

is this price about right or can i get much cheaper used.. have been searching ebay
PS using as pocket camera but also quite a lot video 1080p not 4k.. this camera unlike others simmilar takes advantage of extra buttons on my Crane M gimble hence why I ahve decided on the rx range..
Any buying advice?
WOW I can hardly believe I posted the above so long ago. I never did look into the RX100 any further, it sort of dropped off my radar. I have just been looking for another compact, and my interest in the RX100 has been rekindled. I see the MK1 is still available for sale at about £329. So, is is still a good option today?Is the MK1 normally a reliable camera, or do some have lens issues? I would like to pick one up soon, as an in pocket carry around camera. Just a little short of cash at the moment, lots of bills . Will try and get one when I have some spare cash

I bought my mk1 for about £220?
Edit - just looked, the mk1 prices seem to have gone up again!
I am in in the same boat, I have just sold all of my gear to go compact or mirror-less and have kinda of decided to get the RX100.
looking around it looks like the sony cashback deal has just finished, but I might hold out for a secondhand mk3 for around the same price of a new mk1 or wait for another Sony cash back deal.. who knows when that might be.
For £500 I bought a used mk5 at New year and it is outstanding at video, even in ridiculously low light and very high ISO.
Pictures are good too but the JPGs are a little underwhelming, and won't take much adjustment.
From RAW detail is astonishing and if anything images can look oversharp after downscaling.
The only snag is battery life especially with video, but 3rd party ones work just fine (under £5) and you can charge from USB too which is still not that widespread in cameras.
A stupid design flaw is if you flip up the screen it hits the camera and will scratch, you also can't quite see a few mm at the bottom - with some info there.
Any kind of tripod mount blocks the battery door.
And I'd much rather have mic input than viewfinder, even though it is very good.
However onboard audio is impressive if you are out of the wind
