I think my RX100 M3 is defective.

If your budget is $697, then you can get a RX-100 IV:

Used Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV Digital Camera DSCRX100M4/B

Still a smaller sensor, but it has 4K.

Wow! That is the cheapest I've seen it! There's gotta be a catch like its missing stuff.

It looks like it doesn't come with the original packaging, and apparently that's worth an extra $100. But it's a 9, that's in pretty good condition, and they're super strict about their ratings.

The problem though, is that I wont have enough money to spend until I get my refund back from the other one.

However, I could order this one right now. Only $525 and comes with extras!

It's not actually $659, I just checked with them. In their database it's priced at $759, not $659. It was a typo, they just barely listed it. They already were going to fix it.

Ah, that's a shame. Back to the drawing board, then. The RX-100 III you posted looks good.

 

[nerwin]

Yeah I might go for it. The chances of having the same issue is very slim i think. If so, then I'm doing something wrong but I don't think so after reading these:

Man I am crazy! I just bought another RX100 M3 before getting the refund from the other one! That's okay, I should have the refund in a couple days anyways and he promised a full refund and has a 100% so he doesn't have a choice. Either way, I'm backed by eBay buyer protection.

So fingers crossed this one will be fine! Find out soon. The Funny thing is that this one is $30 cheaper and comes with the box, original crap and sony leather case and the filters which I'll probably turn around and sell on eBay and get the camera down under $500. I'll be one happy camper. This seller appears to be even better, so I'm confident I'll get a good copy.

Well I think I just nailed the deal of a lifetime for a RX100 M3. This person listed it as $525 but included $200 worth of sony accessories! Oh man, kind of feel like I just won the lotto...now just hope the camera works as it should. Last time I felt like this was when I got the Nikon 70-300 VR brand new for $250 on eBay.

I just want to share something regarding the faulty RX100 M3 I had yesterday.

So here is a side by side comparison of the RX100 M3 and my D610...I know it's different. But just bare with me. Yes, the D610 has different lens but I took the image in the EXACT same lighting conditions and settings. You'd think the RX100 M3 would have a "similar" appearance and if I recall correctly, I remember the LCD on the RX100 M3 had a VERY similar appearance to the D610 image. Something is totally wrong haha.

I think it is the 12" behind the viewfinder that is at fault

I'm very positive its the camera. Other people have had the SAME EXACT issue and returned the camera and got a new one and it worked perfectly fine. We'll find out when I get the next one. If I have the same problem...then well I guess I'm an idiot. Lol.

Also had the same double exposure problem like others had mentioned on DPreview and they sent it in to Sony and they said it was a faulty lens causing the issue.

Did you have multi shot turned on ?

Nope. Also, auto ISO or manually selecting ISO didn't make any difference.

Check this out.

Here's the settings camera chose: 1/2000th of a sec, f/8, ISO 125.

Here's another one at 1/320th of a sec, f/8, ISO 125:

It seemed like when I made the shutter speed slower, the image got darker. Something is definitely wrong.

AND remember, that you must multiply the aperture by the crop factor (2.7). So that was really like shooting at f/4.86. Right Tony Nothrup?!
