SANJEEV G : where is this camer made in?MICHAEL T : Made in ChinaDAVID F P : Hi there,
I have been very pleased with my Sony RX100ii from Adorama. absolutely no problems with either the purchase, delivery (FAST), or the product. I am still learning many of its features and getting proficient at using them. Although Sony is a Japanese company, the camera was made in China, which is the same as many of the products we buy in the USA.GEZA B : Mine was made in China.
Shopper : What's this, "open box" means? Is this a floor sample? meaning display model where people playing and trying on it? Please be specific. Thx!MORLEY R : No what it usually means the box was damaged either in transit or in the warehouse and it can't be sold as brand new even though it is. I received one and the contents in the box were never opened or touched. Everything was factory sealed except the box which was damaged.
Shopper : I'm undecided between the RX100 II and the FUJI X100s to use as a casual, portable camera to use while I'm traveling (especially for outdoors).
I don't like the variable aperture on the Sony and worse imagine quality compared to the X100s, but it is much smaller and cheaper so that I wouldn't mind carrying it around me at all times. What do you think?SHARON F : The reason I paid the extra for this model is the sensor size. I wanted something that would be as close as possible picture quality wise as my canon 5d and everything I read said this was one of the front runner contenders. I havve had it now for a few months and used it on some important trips and have bee nvery pleased with the quality and the software on the camera. The resolution is excellent and in auto mode it gets the balance and exposure very good. To me it was worth the investment. hope that helps!DON D : My RX100 II supplements my m4/3 equipment. I don't think the lens in the RX100 II is a slouch compared to Olympus' best, and if you are shooting outdoors, you won't see the difference between it and the Fuji.
It is super easy to carry and built like a tank - only possible fragile aspect on it is the flash contraption, but I don't use it most of the time, and when I need some fill, I pop it back down and disable it afterwards so it remains protected.JIM L : Go with the Fuji, VERY user friendly, fits well in the hand and excellent quality. I returned the RX100 I bought after trying it out. The Fuji is ABSOLUTELY one of the best cameras ever made !DALE H : fuji doesn't have a zoom lens. if you don't need one then it's a highly recommended camera with its latest firmware revisions. it's loved at dpreview. read the review for both cameras there
i like a zoom for travel and sony rx100m2 is top rated camera in its class 2012/2013 also highly recommended by many SLR die hard critics
you can't go wrong with either camera
open box is the way retailers get around the msrp to sell new cameras at lower priceJASON C : So far I am happy with the camera. It is small and very portable with good quality pictures, even in low light situation. I used to have Pana LX 5 which is good but slightly too bulky for portability. The only mode I am using is auto though.
Do not have info on Fuji and can comment on it.
I hope this help.RICHARD J : I have the Sony. I bought it just before a trip to Italy. It is great. The photos came out great. It is small enough to carry easily. The battery easily got me through each day, and I charged it each night at the hotel. I bought the leqther case from Sony and it protected the camera well.RUSSELL T : Purchased the Sony RX100 II this past summer and the Sony's image quality is great. It is really a great camera. See what photographer Gary L. Friedman's insights into the Sony RX 100 MK2 are. He's got a completed guide on the RX100 MK2.
You should decide whether you value portability and really good Zeiss zoom lens or... a quality, but much heavier and larger Fuji camera with a fixed lens. (To be honest with you, I still use my little Casio pocket camera at all the family gatherings the most). The Sony RX100 II stays on my desk in my studio most of the time. It's become my "work" camera. It is a really nice piece of equipment and I can't see handing it to a careless relative to mess with or drop. I use the Sony RX100 II for shooting reference photography for oil paintings and for advertising photo images for my business. It weighs just 10 ounces. If I had my druthers, I wish it weighed even less...had an even longer zoom range...and had an EVF. Would I pay double the price for my wishes? No. It seems that the lighter the camera is, the more I'll keep it with me. I purchased a Canon leather pouch case with a belt loop, a Sony mini camera bag and also a slightly larger Tamrac bag. Most of the time it resides in the Canon leather case, but if I go out to shoot, I choose what else I want to take and load it in one of the other bags.
The Fuji X100 weigh over nearly a pound! That would be a chore carrying around all the time. It would end up staying home or in the car a lot of the time, defeating the advantage of a portable camera. And the fixed lens is the deal breaker for a versatile travel camera that costs twice the price. I think you'll love the Sony!GLENN M : Your not comparing apples-to-apples, as far as IQ and functions. The Fuji would need more attention to capturing a shot. More operating options (think DSLR). The results are outstanding though. The Sony is more of a high-end PS, but a very good one. Also, seems minor, but when traveling/walking around town, etc, no lens cap to worry about on the Sony. The RX100MII is your best bet for a true pocket camera. If you want that control & IQ that Fuji offers, I would look at the Sony NEX 7 with the Sigma 30 or 19mm lens. the size wouldn't be that much deeper than the Fuji and IQ better. That would all give you the option of adding more different lenses. I have this camera and both Sigmas. The 30 gets the most use. Tack sharp! - GlennSHAUN K : Haven't used the Fuji, but I think the RX1002 is awesome. Has never fallen short of my expectations and I carry my 5Dmii much less often as a result of how good the pictures are.
