RX100 M2 or M3?

[darknezx]

Hi all, deciding between RX100 M2 ($575) and M3 ($904). Just a casual user, buying because my current cam is an Olympus XZ-1 which has terrible video capabilities. Which would you advise? Seems like M2 is a good buy, but doesn't have a fully tiltable display. Doesn't have an EVF also, but then again don't think I'll be using it much?

Will the price of M3 fall more, now that M4 has been released?

Don't know if price will fall further soon or not, but the rotating display is a great feature to take selfie with my family. I bought it at ~1200, never regret.

I read that M4 is launching soon.

Price may drop further for the old models.

Get RX4.

Expensive bro... how do those who have M3 rate the flippable screen? I am not going to use the EVF much, so the extra price is mainly for the flipping screen.

Good, useful, but only if u need to take selfie, either alone or group selfie, very very useful for that purpose. We used to reverse my old LX3 to take selfie, no need anymore.

My next wish is to have touchscreen.

i want EVF! Likely to sell my G7X for M4.

No VF difficult to shoot at bright sunlight area.

I would go for EVF when in bright light outdoors, (though I prefer OVF).

The flip screen is a plus, not a must.

aiming M3 when price drop too. Seeing quite a number of people starting to sell their M3 at ~850. Does M4 comes with touch screen?

nowadays like hard to get EVF let alone OVF.

i too prefer OVF but having either 1 beats not having any

Then I shall get the M3 while waiting for them to implement touchscreen, probably in M5 or 6

Nothing revolutionary between M3 and M4, maybe M6 ba.

I'd actually advise Canon's G7X over either of them. It's a close run thing with the RX100-III and both are very good but the G7X edged it for me.

I have reviews of both and a head-to-head comparison on my site if interested.
