Sony Cyber-Shot DSCRX100 Digital Camera - ONYX Air Miles (2650)

Amazing how a camera that's 4 generations behind still retails for so much. It's a great camera for sure, still beats the IQ of many of the current gen compact cameras

The original RX100 still retails for $550? Jesus.

That's the old MSRP. Sony doesn't adjust the MSRP on old out-of-production models retroactively.

If you check eBay you can find tons of new ones for well under $ 300 USD = under $ 400 CDN.

I can vouch for the mark 1 still. It's a fantastic camera, very portable and takes excellent photos still. I can show some pics if anyone is curious at its low light performance. Cheers

I'm not sure I'd really judge eBay sellers (often no factory warranty, etc) as being a true MSRP. B&H is selling it for about $400USD at the moment, for example. Henry's is selling it for $569. So yeah, $550 seems to be about the going rate if you want to buy one from an actual retailer.

Very good camera! im still using my mark1

Even though it's a good camera, you can tell how Air Miles treat collectors by offering something this old...

Here, these are unedited to show you a more out of the box ability I suppose.

To get a perspective on past deals for the 2012 Mark I, Best Buy had it on sale in April. See this Expired Deal for $328:

Really impressive, were they handheld?

Yeah, that sounds about right for clearing out old stock on a nearly 5 year old camera.

That's a great deal, but I don't have air miles....

I don't recall, some were auto, some manual. You'll have to check the metadata But it was all hand-held, no pods

I have this camera (version 1) and it is an awesome camera for this cost. Although they are now on the 5th version of it, this version is still a great point and shoot.

I have wanted to upgrade from my version 1, but cannot yet justify spending over $1k for the latest model when i still have a fully functional camera.

why it's showing 5,300 reward miles for me? the 50% off miles is only for gold reward account?

this is a great club/party camera, that's if you know how to use the flash.
the flash is tilt-able when you pop it out. you can tilt it with your fingers to bounce if off the ceiling.
this results in some really good photos, a lot like the kinds you see that people take with a dslr in the club/an event.
I had taken some really good group photos with this camera in a pitch dark club with a bunch of friends.

i'm gold but it's 5000 miles

Onyx members get the 50% off.

Im onyx but really if you collect air miles cash being gold or onyx makes no difference.
