I think I found a reasonable deal on an original RX100, used but in VERY good condition with an extra Sony battery.
$270, is that a good price?

You can get a new one from Amazon for less than $300.
My local shop (in the UK) has an RX100 (Mk1) at £250 - which at current exchange rates is about $370. I realise that market variations between the US and UK can mean different prices for a given item, but your deal looks anywhere from decent, to very good - from a UK perspective, at least.
I hope that you'll enjoy the RX100. Mine is now nearly 2½ years old, and it is still one of my absolute favourite cameras. I would advise allowing a few weeks to get used to it, if you don't immediately like it. I didn't warm to mine until I'd been using it for a few weeks... then something 'clicked' (no pun intended), and it became a firm favourite.
BTW, a couple of years ago, one of the members here (Chris2500dk) posted some useful settings for focus/recompose - if that's your style of shooting let me know, and I'll re-post them here.
Link?
Cheapest I've seen anywhere for new is much closer to $400.
Well it would probably help if I could read Dutch ( ? ) :rolleyes-74: I picked up the camera yesterday, but I am curious, surely there would be shipping added? The last time I shipped something to the UK I think it added about $30-$40.
I'd never heard of secondipity, but will keep it in mind in the future.
It's German, Deutsche. You don't need to read German. Google Translate/Chrome works really well converting German pages to English. Probably because English is a Germanic language. I don't even do that. It's just an Amazon page so I'm familiar with the workflow.
I didn't realize you were in the UK. I thought you were in the US since you were quoting dollars. Shipping is free in Europe. I don't know if the UK is included. It may only be on the continent. Shipping to the US is not much, about the same as shipping within the US.
Sorry, typo, I am in the US.
