Sony RX100 Mark III

i just got my M3. I have tried both Auto modes, and Manual. Since i can see the results view the LCD, i find that the Auto seem to work fine for me. The pictures are looking good even on Auto.
Perhaps when my eyes are better train will i be able to tell the differences to explore the other modes

The different modes isn't going to make the images any better. The modes merely adjust how you want the image to appear and how much control you want to have..the image quality isn't going to change.

That's why I normally leave it in auto mode. When using Aperture priority, it does not yield very strong bokeh, hence no really need to use that mode either.
Out of the box the jpgs look great already, at least for my snapshots.
which store is this?
i have no issues getting it <900 from online stores but it does not come with extra batt and charger (how much does those 2 items cost?).

The usual places in Funan, TK Foto, Alan Photo and SLR Rev as well as MS Color etc. Their prices all hover around $960. You don't need to hunt everywhere. The original Sony battery cum external charger retails for $99 by itself. Some of the stores also include some additional stuff like camera straps too. Do ask around. Buying online means you don't get the warranty, hence any defect you need to pay full rate in Singapore or send the item back to the country of origin.
That small difference I prefer to buy local and yes, the $99 battery + charger deal is quite good since it includes a spare battery which is not cheap by itself. Only issue is for $99, Sony skimped on the cable. No USB charging cable included, I think.
Or if the batt-charger not critical, this is a reasonable offer to. It covers 36 months LOCAL warranty..

Erm, the online store i am using comes with local manufacturer warranty. In this case, from Sony direct.
I bought a few units from them before and yes, it is covered.
Just does not come with extra battery and charger so i am trying to determine the worth of those 2 items before deciding it since the 2nd hand people are trying to make a quick buck out of it selling 2nd hand goods at first hand prices

Yup. Cannot tell much of a difference.

Hi Anders,
Both Alan Photo and TK Foto were offering the free gift plus 2 other stores whose name I can't recall. That they all offer the same package can't be a coincidence.So I presume it must be a promotion gift from Sony. Suffice to say, I think it is also while stocks last, so the longer we delay, the more likely the gift is gone.
As I said, the battery pack + charger retails for $99 at sony store..
BTW, are you saying Sony Singapore's official online store is selling this with warranty at $919 even though their Sony Centre is still quoting RRP of $1099 (discounted) ? Can send us a link?
Cheers

nope, i did not claim its sony selling
and nope, i did not claim its price.
where you managed to deduce the price is a mystery.
As a matter of fact, i could get it below $900. 919 is above 900.

Oh ok. I may have misread your thread. Can share which site sells below $900 with lical warranty and at what price ? Based on my usage I dont think I need the extra battery and charger so if a store can sell at $860 or lower without the gift that is a better deal for me....thanks

For brand new set, lowest I came across is $899. Does Anders have a lower price on the site he mentioned?

The $899 is from this site...
http://www.lazada.sg/catalog/?q=sony+rx100
Can clarify what do you mean by OCBC? Some tie up with local bank to offer discount if use their visa card? At $865, that would be the best offer so far.

lazada $899 set got no warranty + if buy from Lazada, it should be
$899,
after discount of $89.9 (10% off) + $62.93 (SCB) = $746.17
or
after discount of $89.9 (10% off + $53.94 (OCBC) = $755.16
and also, LAZADA comes with NTUC link points - save even more!
Both i am refering to were to used credit cards (SCB Singpost / OCBC Frank) from the respective bank for online purchase discount + free delivery somemore. Save even more.

The 10% discount is capped at $30.
Will check the cc rebates.
Export set - wonder what it means.
Don't forget use shop back for another 5%
export means usually got no warranty locally - so treat it as w/o warranty unless stated - so do your due check before check out.
i am not referring to lazada discount but actually shopback discount (which is 10%)
any further discount from lazada gives you more discount (from what i have concluded earlier)
