It really makes the camera feel very secured in your hands, so I really like that. I'll put a link to that on my website, where you can get that, its really great thing to add in your camera if get an RX100, and this works on I believe any model of the RX100, I had it on one, and then I actually took it off and then put it on here. So that's really nice.

Its bright lens makes it ideal for low-light photography and portraits.

My biggest gripe with the camera is the autofocus. I used it as a point and shoot camera in aperture-priority (A) mode most of the time. Dialing in the focus manually with digital controls is quite the pain in the ass if there are issues locking on to your subject.

Only gripe I have is the extra time it takes for the RX100 III to spool up once you turn it on/extend the viewfinder - the Leica is faster in that regard. Hope this helps.
