The Sony RX100 VI follows a long line of excellent cameras that has evolved over the years in the RX100 line. With the Mark VI, Sony has made a major change with an all-new 24-200mm lens, making this the most versatile RX100 camera to date. This is the biggest game changer and has both pluses and minuses. Read on to see how awesome this new lens is, albeit with a few caveats. All New 24-200 Lens The new 24-200mm lens from Sony is very impressive for its topside use. Previous models sported a 24-70mm lens which was a bit limiting in reach for many topside applications and limited how tight the camera could shoot macro subjects. Having a 200mm lens camera that can fit in your pocket is pretty darn incredible. With the capability of up to 200mm, working distance is now further away, like an SLR, and helps to avoid spooking skittish critters. Sony RX100 VI by Team Backscatter School of Barra…
