So I had a chance to get outside today with the Sony RX100vi. Subject was
10-week old Cockapoo puppy, Arlo.
I shot RAW+jpeg for a change and set up Lightroom to import them as
separate images. Unfortunately, my subject matter was not compatible with
my settings, which were VIVID, +3 Saturation (yes, dammit! Ken Rockwell's
recommendation. <g>) That said, the jpegs looked pretty good. In a couple
of cases which are too boring to post here (porch furniture), they were
damned good. I'll rethink the jpeg settings for something a little more
standard and try again.
You can get Arlo here:

All are straightforward. Post in LRCC. His color demands some shadow and
clarity work.
Also encountered a frog/toad:

Again, pretty straightforward post in LR. Nothing as dramatic as the
shadow/clarity work on Arlo's hair.
In all, I like this little pocket camera. Good lens. Good color. I keep
reading that people love the jpegs right out of the camera with no
tweaking. I'll see if I can get there.
