Yep, that's where I'll go this weekend (if I can sneak away from the gf)...

Well, the Sony Store in Sim Lim said that if I bought the camera I would have to bring it to the repair depot at Wisma if there was a problem, even the next day. I was very specific in asking about this.

Useful to hear this story. I definitely want an exchange period like I've had with my other Sony cameras (never had to do an exchange, fortunately). Thanks for the info. I'll stick with the official Sony stores (like I said, I had my problem with the 'Sony Store' in Sim Lim, but while it only...

That's a little strange considering the cost of this camera (and considering that they usually have other models on display). When I was up in KL last week, the Sony Store there had a display model that you could play with (with a lot of Sony packaging and branding around it), but I wasn't ready...

Hmmm. At one store (the Sony Store at Sim Lim) they wouldn't let me look at or hold or check the RX1 before buying then they wanted to sell me an unsealed box. The guy told me that if something was wrong with it, I'd have to go to the Sony repair depot to get it fixed under warranty. Why the...

Are boxes for new RX1s supposed to be sealed (i.e., have a Sony sticker-seal on them)? I've gone to two stores so far, and their RX1s were both in unsealed boxes and they insisted that's how they are shipped. But on sites such as DPReview, people talk about (and show images of) boxes with a Sony...

Yep, I had the same issue with the optional external EVF for the NEX5n

Geez, what's happened to this place? I've been checking in occasionally for the past few years, and the exchanges were always cordial. We're all on the same side, guys... eagerly waiting to get our hands on an RX1 for tryout or purchase. So let's chill a bit and get back in the end-of-year...

Yes, that's a different question, and not one I was trying to answer :)

Yep, that's what I did. First, uncropped versions to show what the images will be life in real-life use (web presentation, printing, etc.). Later in the thread, I showed 100% crops of the two shots (the posting titled 'clue'). As I said, it's only when you get that close that you see differences...

I did a unscientific comparison here of the RX100 clear image zoom (to the max) vs the NEX 7 with E18-200mm and optical zoom to same scale (125mm). The RX100 stands up very well until you pixel peep. Incredible power of resolution in such a small camera...

And I was happy to pay S$850 in Thailand, incl 16GB card and VAT refund. No warranty, but I'm willing to take the risk on this one: never had to take a compact in for servicing, and I seem to have got a good copy. :cool:

Some portraits of a friend. Amazing what such a small camera can do... looks as good as my NEX7 (getting close to the a900)...

Portrait in natural light taken at ISO3200. This camera is spectacular at high ISOs!

Maybe this is it. I'm not sure. But it seems to coincide with when the camera has achieved focus. I was holding the camera in my hand, so the truer test would be with a tripod and perhaps OSS turned off. As I said, though, this happened in a very quiet environment. I took lots of video...
