Last month I was looking for a small digital camera to accompany my DSLR. After comparing and researching for a couple of weeks, I found that the RX100 III (M3) would be the best camera as it is similar to a entry level DSLR but a lot more compact and smaller.
So I made my mind up and bought the camera through Currys, who at the time were offering cashback from Sony on all their products, which was really handy and money saving.

Night shots
I have taken a few night shots on my recent travels to Dubai and India and I would like to say that the night photography with this camera is really good and copes well in dark low light situations.

The offical battery pack from Sony can cost quite alot as you would need it to increase your battery life.
