Compact Cameras: Sony RX-100 (Ann Miles)

The best camera is always the one you have with you and so I always have the Sony RX-100 with me- it is small enough to be carried around in a pocket. Mine is the original version without view finder or tilting screen - see Mike's post on the later version. Here at Lakenheath and in northumberland when the weather changed to give lovely conditions. 

With in-built flash option.

For candid and street photography, it is great as small and unobtrusive.

Deals very well with difficult lighting conditions

 The macro facility works well

Like the Fuji it has a sweep panorama facility

 Having a camera with you often allows you to capture unexpected images as when some lads torched a car on one of our local footpaths.
