Does the shutter and light meter work properly on this camera? Also, do all the knobs turn smoothly, including the lens it comes with?

I cannot answer for a specific used camera but when new everything worked well.

These cameras are classics, all in used condition so it may vary. The one I bought is solid, works great, and I'd buy a second one if I needed to.

It depends on what seller you buy it from and the quality of the maintenance they had on the camera, so you can't really ask it as a whole. But from my experience from slinger777/slinger photo, I received a fully functioning camera that had a working shutter, light meter with battery, and regular smooth turning knobs/lens.

Yup, works fine. You may need to enable the "Shoot w/o Lens" option in the menus but there's no issue once that has been set.

Its actually not too bad. I use mine all the time in low light situations, but with any camera the lower the light your filming in it will start to look grainy. This camera comes with a light you can attach, so all you need to do is turn that on.

This camera is great in low light settings. Crank up the ISO settings (or set to automatic), and it does a great job indoors. One of my favorite features of this camera. Lenses all depend on what your shooting. The basic zoom does a pretty good job. If your going to shoot outdoors any, or at kids plays and programs, a longer zoom is a good addition. I also have a fast 50mm fixed lens for indoor shooting of portraits and macro photography.

Very! But the shots taken by it are worth the effort. As the other commenters said, you should slow down and set it up properly...... this is not your regular point and shoot to go type of lens. And it's extremely bulbous and heavy with a lot of knobs...... good luck!

i think some of the buttons may be a lil cheaply made, but i love this camera. i had one, dropped & broke the lcd screen and had to order a replacement the next day. you can not clip on lenses or anything, but it does have a lot of different settings to choose from. i have printed great pictures that i had taken anywhere from 4x6 to 8x10.

Hi There does not appear to be any lag. Hit the shutter button and you have it. By the way, I am a professional photographer and I owned the original RX100. Did not like it as I felt the lens and/or sensor was simply not sharp enough for my needs. I sold it after 3 months. The Mark 3 is fabulous and Sony has fixed the problems PLUS added an EVF. This camera lens/sensor combo is really sharp and I am delighted with it. It is my "carry around" always camera. Good luck and well wishes! - Phil Johannes

Due to how you can't manually select the shutter speed sometimes it gets a little bit tricky to shoot in low light. You'll have to play with the iso and the exposure settings for a while before you get a nice result. The hand-held starlight mode doesn't always work. The night scene mode works fine but you'll need a tripod and ISO is auto so sometimes pics come out grainy. HD VIDEO mode works perfect in low light; I've been going to local band shows and the videos come out great. At the beggining I was a bit frustrated for not being allowed to manipulate shutter speed but after playing with the camera for a month or so now I get some really great results in low light.

Yes. You have a manual setting were you can control the shutter and the light opening.

I haven't used this camera in a while, but from what I remembered it handled it self pretty well in low light conditions. It depends a lot on the light that is available. I am assuming you're looking to rent the camera because of it's size, but if size is not an issue, there are probably better DSLR's out there that handle low light conditions better in terms of speed and ISO performance. But, for its size the Ricoh does a really good job in low light conditions.

It's actually controlled well. At it's widest aperture you'll see it. This is a known issue, like on the Zeiss. But it's something that can be fixed in Adobe. The lens is a good deal and worth it.

Hi,I'm not a good expert in photography. Nevertheless, the pictures taken under low light situation are clear and good quality. My pictures at sunshine and sunset are very clear. I did not even need the flash systematically. The automatic function picks the automatically the adequate option for the pictures. Hopefully, this helps you to decide.

The shutter is fairly fast in good light. Aside from that, the camera takes about .5 Second to warm-up from an inactive state.

Yes, this camera performs well in low light settings.. You just need to familiarize yourself with the different settings (fyi - there is a setting for "low light"). I agree with Paul's response -- it does a pretty decent job even with the flash turned off.

The model I received does not have that knob, but appear to be for the use with a tripod, my doubt is, usually those pieces are used close to the middle of the lens no at the rear end as on this, anyway I will look for other pictures just to confirm. thank you!

Ronald if this question is directed at me I cannot help you. I no longer have the camera, didn't experience any lens or sensor problems and do not have one for sale. Sorry.
