Sony Rx100 Mark 6 Cu ⇒ «EASY»

Then came the in June 2018. And Sony broke everything.

The result? burst shooting with full autofocus and auto-exposure. For a compact camera, that is still, as of 2024, mind-boggling.

Sony realized that in the smartphone era, wide-angle night shots were being eaten alive by Google Night Sight and Apple Deep Fusion. A pocket camera could no longer compete in the dark. But a 200mm optical zoom? Phones still fake that with digital cropping. The RX100 VI offered true, mechanical, optical telephoto reach. What most reviews missed in 2018 was the under-the-hood processing upgrade. The RX100 VI inherited the BIONZ X processor with front-end LSI from the Sony A9 flagship. This is absurd. A pocket camera had the same processing engine as a $4,500 sports monster.

The pop-up electronic viewfinder (EVF) also got a resolution bump. It’s not the OLED of the A7 series, but at 2.36 million dots, it is usable even in bright sunlight—something the rear LCD cannot always manage. When Sony launched the RX100 VI, they marketed it as “the ultimate travel compact.” But travelers were confused. Travel photographers usually want either low-light muscle (for evenings) or wide angles (for architecture). The RX100 VI offered neither of those excellently.

For a traveler, this is revolutionary. Imagine standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon. With the Mark V, you get a stunning wide shot. With the Mark VI, you get that wide shot, plus a tight compression shot of a condor on the cliff face across the canyon. You cannot do that with a smartphone. You cannot do that with the older RX100s.

In the long, storied lineage of digital cameras, few series have commanded as much respect as Sony’s RX100 line. For half a decade, the formula was simple but ruthless: take a 1-inch sensor, pair it with a fast, bright Zeiss zoom lens (f/1.8-f/2.8), wrap it in a chassis that fits in a jeans coin pocket, and unleash it upon the world. The RX100 Mark III, IV, and V were darlings of vloggers, street photographers, and luxury travelers because they prioritized light gathering and bokeh in a tiny body.

This collection includes rare footage, often from smaller theatre troupes whose experimental interpretations can provide a more comprehensive understanding of theatre in general and of particular plays. Please note that smaller theatre companies sometimes have lower budgets, which can impact production values.
