Does anyone have pictures of the rx10 or the rx10ii? I know I can find images online. I would just like to see some minimumly touched up and in Disney. I'm still debating the Confience of a 1 lens system.

Don't know anybody on the board that uses those. But remember, they use the same sensor as the RX100, so the image quality is the same. They are just the RX100 with a different lens, essentially.

@Rgonzalez79 I saw this photo on 500px and thought of you. Might help you with your microphone shot.

Thanks Fractal, I'll check it out during the lunch break today.

Still trying some new things, this one was fun and I may use this again with a portrait of a friends baby instead of Vader and a Storm Trooper Used my flash with a homemade snoot to focus the light on the two little guys then ran around with a tablet using different images of Space Invaders. Would have looked better with more Aliens, we'll get it right next time. My first time using bulb mode also

I actually have shot with this camera at Disney a few times. I bought an RX10 a few years ago when perusing a local Sony store that was closing and had some ridiculous sale prices of 50-60% off - couldn't pass it up at that price even though I had no need for it. When my stepfather heard about it he asked to buy it off me as his main travel camera, so that's where it went - he travels around the world about 3 months of the year, and takes it with him everywhere, but when he's not traveling, I was curious enough about the camera and wanting to play with it myself that I borrowed it a few times when going to Disney just to try it out (a nice advantage of it being weather-sealed so I had an optional camera I could use when it was raining!). It's actually a gorgeously built camera - solid as a slab of granite, weatherproof (it's gotten very very wet), and tons of controls and customizability.

My whole gallery of shots I've taken with it is here - all are non-processed other than crop or straighten type stuff:

Love the colors @fractal! Love the feel of Santa twiddling his thumbs and daydreaming since Christmas is over. Was this the 50mm or the vaunted Zeiss 24mm?

I agree. I'm impressed. Looks like the 50

Thanks guys! That was the SEL 50mm. The bokeh is much nicer on the 50 vs. the 24 but that's normal when comparing those focal lengths.

It is a beautiful shot. Did you spend time arranging all the ornaments intentionally?

Thanks! I did not arrange them. I was just following instructions from my wife to take down the ornaments and put them on the table. After I finished I liked the colors and walked around the table taking shots from different angles. It was fun until my daughter appeared and asked "Dad, what are you doing" as if I had gone mad.

That's a regular occurrence with my kids...

The shot of my daughter with the adapted 85, what you don't see... My daughter whining "dadddddd take the picture already!!!" As I tried to get focus.

Nice! I pretty much have to bribe my daughter to let me shoot her nowadays. Unless there are costumes involved, she still likes playing dress up with a bunch of colorful outfits and taking pictures

Continuing my project for this year, we still have our tree up so i was able to use the lights to create this little swirling light/ghost effect. I like the "reflection" cast in Jack's eyes

First shot in photomatix HDR. I hadn't realized I was shooting jpegs at first. But the second shot.. in RAW... I realized how spoiled I have become by the D750 and full frame. I know the A6000 is considered to have good dynamic range, for an APS-C, but it can't come close to full frame. I used to do a lot of my landscapes in HDR. But the dynamic range of the D750 is so great, I can essentially get HDR quality in just one image. I see I'll need to go back to bracketing if I use the A6000 for this purpose.

Havoc, the A6000 is known for having issues when pushing the files much. That doesn't make a difference to me cause I don't like the look of HDR.
