Sony RX-100 Mk IIi or Alpha 6000B?
My wife would like a compact camera to replace her Canon S100 which, though nice when it works, has suffered all sorts of problems (lense cable disconnected on trip to Easter Island and Machu Picchu, and now shutter trigger has oxidized - no replacement parts available) and is no longer reliable.
The main desired criteria are 1) she can carry it in her purse, 2) it can shoot RAW, and 3) easy to use but can easily use manual override when desred.
I've been looking at a Sony RX-100 Mk III but deals on these where I am are hard to come by (equivalent of ~USD750).
This week, it would appear that I can buy a A6000 with the basic lense for under ~USD500 and with a 55-210mm lense for USD 750, less than a RX-100 Mk III.
While I appreciate the RX 100 has a Zeiss lense and is much more compact than the A6000, what else would we be trading off?
She originally did want a simple snapshot camera but a Lumia 640 has taken care of that.
