This is a decent camera, but for a bit more you can have the RX100 III, which is a great camera... primarily as it has an viewfinder (EVF) built in. Anyone who actively takes a lot of pictures will tell you that you might as well use your phone if you're trying to compose via a screen.

AfroJoshI apologise, AJ... I did mean $725ish. I recently paid $1500 for a Mark V, so I guess I was thinking in terms relative to that. That said, having a viewfinder is paramount for the type of photography I do... so a non-starter for me.
bbissetOh I see, no worries- I was thinking this could be a good compact camera for my mother who just wants nice point and shoot shots... the viewfinder was a good note though!
