Camera Comparison
Sony A35 vs. Sony Rx100 Mk2
at 18mm. Actual Holiday shots
	Comparison by Sinan Ozturk

So you are going to a mountain vacation to shoot clouds. Do you need to take your bulky SLR set with all its lenses and such or does compact Sony RX100 make 2 is good enough for your vacation shots? Check the photos and decide yourself.

Photos are shot handheld. Sony A35 (with Sony 16-105 + Sigma 10-20 lens) is between F8 to F11 which is their sweet spot. I choose to shoot at F6.3 in Sony RX100 m2 because in my opinion this aperture is sharper than F8 for this camera. [Review by Sinan Ozturk]
