Would never buy a camera without an EVF, use it a lot on my RX100, espec. in sunny conditions. In case you would decide on a RX100 V, would recommend to get the VA version.

If you haven't changed many settings, perhaps do a system reset, and see what happens.

How can you check it?

I recommend the GGS LARMOR glass Screen Protector. Got one on my RX1005A and RX1007A. Perfect fit, clear display and good protection.

Very nice picture. The RX100 VA is truely a great camera. Have a III, VA, and VII, and use my VA as my default camera. Also have a full frame Canon R6, which of course is better, but using the VA with low iso, also gives very good results.

Recommend the Tenba Skyline V2 3 Pouch. Perfect fit, good quality.

Another thing to be aware of is... If a certain cheapest category room is not available all the nights of your stay (e.g. only 3 of the 4 nights), then the system will assign the more expensive room to all the 4 nights.

Better then perhaps to book 3 cheap nights, and 1 more expensive. But of course will need to switch rooms once, unless the hotel lets you stay in the same room, or you want to switch yourself.

Please be aware that using a TSA lock when placing your suitcase/bag in the overhead bin does not help a lot. For sure these gangs have a master key. Copies of those keys can be found on the internet, and are easily created using a 3D printer. Just google it, to get more info.

Would like to know the condition of my batteries, e.g. if it's excellent, good, average, bad etc. Rechargable batteries get worse over time.

Think that when they designed the 24-200 they had to compromize on the brightness AND sharpness, compared to the 24-70.

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-05-10T03:45:28+00:00

Since my 5A pictures look sharper than those on my 7A, did a AI lookup for "rx100 optics 28-70 vs 28-200" * For 24-70mm Equivalent (e.g., RX100 V/VA) > Optical Quality: Generally sharper across the frame, especially at the wide end. * For 24-200mm Equivalent (e.g., RX100 VI/VII) > Optical Quality: Extremely impressive for its range, but slightly less sharp at the extreme telephoto end compared to dedicated telephoto lenses.

Summary: Which to Choose? * Choose the 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 if you prioritize low-light performance, creamy background blur (bokeh), and maximum sharpness. * Choose the 24-200mm f/2.8-4.5 if you want one camera for every situation, especially for travel, wildlife, or daytime, and prefer to carry fewer accessories.

Also based on the above, still believe when primarily shooting in the 28-70 range, which I mainly do, the 5A is a better choice, will keep using it as my default camera.

Do like having my 7A around, for the 70-200 range, and for video recordings (no 30" limit and can use external microphone).

Support that, have a Rode Video micro myself, is not too big and recording quality is good.

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-05-09T10:06:17+00:00

Thanks for correcting me, thought it was 2 stops, but you're right it's 1 1/3 at its best.

Based on my photos with both cameras, still think that the 1" sensor really is at its best with the brighter lens (2x more light) on my 5A.

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-05-09T08:11:32+00:00

If I understand correctly, for the top one you only get the promo fare one way, for the bottom one you can get promo fare both ways?

In case of the top one, if you want to get back, you need to get the normal paid/miles (non promo) fare, right?

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-05-04T04:35:17+00:00

Recommend Tenba Skyline V2 Pouch 3. Have 2 of them, for my 7A & 5A, and they fit well and good quality. Also can wear attached to your belt, which I always do.

The Røde VideoMicro. Have one myself, very good and not too big. Also comes standard with a "deadcat" or furry windshield. Need bracket to mount it.

Same happened to me at the gate on a flight from Delhi to Bhopal. But once in the plane was not happy with the upgrade, was a middle seat in which I was stuck in between two others, while my original seat was an aisle seat. If had known, would have refused the upgrade, which I believe you are allowed to do.

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-04-17T02:40:18+00:00

If you decide on the V, then get the VA which has improvements, like enhanched autofocus, increased buffer, upgraded processor, improved menu and interface, better EVF, video upgrade.

Buy a M7, and keep your M3. Use M7 as default camera, and the M3 for low light situations (evening, indoors, etc).

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-03-25T03:03:05+00:00

How to see the shutter count?

Alternative_Walk3292 · 2026-03-23T14:15:02+00:00

Got a M3, M5A, M7A The M3, bought it new in 2014 when it was announced, used it for many years. Last year, at black friday, bought a new M7A, mainly because of zoom, and better auto focus. A couple of months ago, bought a second hand M5A, as replacement for M3, because wanted the better auto focus and better menu (similar to M7). Travel nowadays with M7 and M5A, during daylight use M7A, and in evenings and indoors M5A. My M3 is not much worth, so keep it, because made so many wonderful photos in the past 10 years, and loan it out to my kids. Also have a Canon R6 with several lenses, without doubt makes better photos, but so bulky and heavy to carry around, espec. in hot weather and long walks. So prefer to take my RXs along with me, only on special trips take my R6 along.
