Sony RX100 Mark II

The Sony RX100 Mark II is a camera I had before last year.  I upgraded it to the Sony RX100 Mark IV.  I went back to the Mark II because I had no need for 4k video and other features of the camera were a bit gimmicky.  The Mark II is just a great little walk around point and shoot.  It has a 20.2 megapixel sensor and shoots raw.  It's also mirrorless which has it's disadvantages such as battery life.  But you can add an adapter to the front of the camera so you can filters and other devices.  I have yet to attach it to my telescopes eyepiece which I'm planning on doing later this summer and this fall to get some shots of the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.  Also I plan on doing some videos of the moon.  I just wish the weather cooperates on the weekends.

I had this little pocket camera in the past but upgraded to the Sony RX100 Mark IV which was a good walk around camera as well.  I sold both to upgrade to a DSLR body and a camcorder.  But I think I will buy the Sony RX100 Mark II again as it was a great all around pocket point and shoot little camera.  Plus I could buy some accessories for it as well and attach it to my telescope to do some astro videos of the planets and do some small astrophotography with it. 

Plus it's an awesome pocket walk around camera that is light and fits right into my jean pockets.  I have 3 Canon DSLR's with various lenses but together the weight of those cameras combined kills my back when I'm walking for long distances.  Anther good reason to have a small walk around pocket camera.

I was saving up money to buy the Canon Vixia HF G40.  But I do have a great little camcorder in the Canon Vixia HF R62 which does everything that I need from a camcorder.
