I have just replaced my little Sony RX100 M2 that was far too small and as a serious DSLR user I could not get to grips with holding and composing pictures, with the new larger Sony DSC-RX10 bridge camera. The test picture attached is of Titchfield Abbey my local test subject. I am amazed with the quality of the electronic viewfinder and it works with the ease of a high quality DSLR, but much smaller and very suitable for overseas air travel when the size of my bag full of Nikon D800 and lenses would get in the way of a family holiday! The Zeiss 35mm equivalent 24-200mm f2.8 lens is very sharp and with Exmor CMOS 20.9 MP chip and built in steady shot there is no need for interchangable lenses. It has pro level weather sealing and all shooting options any serious photographer could need. The full HD AVCHD Movie mode also is easy to use with good sound and the sready shot gives well usable movie with hand holding. The auto focus and electronic zoom are also very good for movie! Comparing first test results with pix from my D300 I would say they are as good if not better and exhibition quality A3 plus prints are no problem. On Monday we are off to Amsterdam for a few day so I will report back with more info when I get back. (Another D800 friend of mine also has one and is so pleased with it talked me into getting one.)

Once you step outside of the Nikon/Canon systems world you are likely to find some excellent cameras. The Fuji X system is rapidly becoming my choice for most non commercial work. ( customers still need reassuring with a big DSLR on a tripod. LOL) Look forward to seeing more examples.

I will still make plenty of use of the D800, horses for courses! This pix with the little Sony shows how good the dynamic range is. Attachment: Abbey0085S.jpg (Downloaded 109 times)

Graham, I was checking out your camera and came across a Nikon P520 on sale as a dealer demo model. Checked it out and it has almost everything I want in a travel camera such as GPS, WiFi, 20 sec voice memo record, lots of zoom - 24-1000 etc. It didn't even put much of a dint my credit card ;~). It's been a bit of fun setting it up and trying all the settings. Hi ISO is poor but it can take a series of night pix and combine them for a sharper effect. Low ISO quality is quite good. Printed a 16x20 and was pleased.

I have the Nikon P510 which produces very good images for the small sensor size.

The P510 is almost identical to the P520, Just a few pixels difference, probably not enough to notice in prints.

The zoom and anti vibration seem to work well but I find it slow focusing and saving shots. The squirrel was a bit further than 10m at 1/150sec handheld. The full size pic is quite sharp. Attachment: P520 Size comparison_cr2_cr.jpg (Downloaded 93 times)

Just had 7 days holiday in Amsterdam and the Sony did all I wanted pixs of the flowers were very sharp colour good and well up to Nikon D300 standard. Also shot some AVCHD movie with it and steady cam works well and even sound from the little camera works well. There is no way I would turn up for a client to do a pro job with it. For serious photography will always use my D800 but for holiday pix you need a much smaller camera that is going to produce a good quality A3 print for use at the local camera club. The DX10 has a very good Zeiss 24-200 f2.8 lens lens and the results are hard to fault. It worries me a bit posting this on a Nikon forum! Attachment: Amsterdam0147.jpg (Downloaded 90 times)

No worries about the Sony photos. Nikon use Sony made sensors!
