I have the f/3.5 version of that lens and had to put a very thin or no UV filter to eliminate vignette at 24mm. My ring flash has the problem below 50mm.

Yes I agree the Sony RX100D2 is a great little camera the quality of video is very good and the steady-cam works well making even hand held shot usable. With the Sony software it is possible compose your pix and control the camera remotely with an iPhone. I plan to get one of the new Quad-copters with gps to use the camera for aerial filming!

As I have now been retired from commercial photography since 2006, a D400 DX is of far more use to me but if I was still running a busy commercial studio I would love a D4x with a D800 sized chip!

Take a look at the DJI Phantom units. http://www.dji.com/tech-spec/phantom-2-spec/ They look like a fantastic toy and are nearly silent. I read that there may be some future legislation in the UK to control their use.

A friend of mine bought a smaller version hexacopter with a GPS and mounted a GoPro camera on it. You could fly it out of sight and shut off the control box and it would return and land within a meter of it's takeoff spot. There was no live view so all shots or video are on the fly but the camera is quite sharp and has a very wide angle lens and by hovering and rotating the copter good coverage could be obtained. Small copters don't require a licence yet and this type of setup costs about $2000. This is an arial of Waterloo Ontario grabbed from a video frame.

Haven't looked into it yet but there may be a combination of Health and Safety, CAA and insurance issues which may not apply in certain circumstances, size, use and range may affect. One chap near me had his fixed wing model aircraft confiscated when it went out of range of his controller and crashed into the nearby naval dockyard where they build the nuclear subs. It was fitted with a camera... Last I heard they were considering returning the model because it was considered to be a genuine accidental occurrence.
