Sweet pics Aussie.
 
Beautiful shots Aussie!!! How do you like your RX10 for bird photography. It seems to have served you well with these little guys. I ask because I’m wanting to ditch my huge 200-600mm lens. Just can’t carry it around any more.

I will tell you what I call my camera the one you mentioned. I have called it hit and miss.
If I took 10 shots of a bird sitting still long enough I would get maybe 6 or 7 usable shots.
In that I have not moved or changed a thing just 3 or 4 are bad shots.
I have not been able to move out of auto on it even though I have used every setting there is.
Went out taken shots come home to find only a few are worth keeping. I mean every setting to.
I have given it a go and I have to say it is a holiday camera at best .
My personal view on this is I would not buy it as you only camera I am waiting to save up for a large lens to go on my Sony A7ii.
Then this one will only come out on holidays well maybe as the other one is light so I might be able to carry it all over.
One thing I will say is I think I got a Lemon which here is Australia means its just no good and no matter what you do it will not improve.
Maybe another one will out shine this one and I really think it would so don't just go on this report, get a few more and see if the same thing happens.
Then you will be able to make a choice which will suit you better. For me its keep what you have got or I can swap with you.

Thanks so much for your detailed review. And thank you for being honest. This report is in sharp contrast to what I have been seeing on YouTube, but then, I’m sure that many of those are paid by Sony to make it sound good. I will definitely try one out now before I buy one. Thanks again!
Curious that you can only get it to work in auto mode. Could be you do have a lemon.
