Hi!
This is my first post here and I would like to ask something that I think is a little odd: every time I do any kind of fast movement while hand holding the camera (while the lens barrel is extended, i.e. camera is ON), I can feel a slight bump [or shake sound as Ray points out] inside the lens barrel. The lens/barrel seems to have a slight play that is only noticeable when quickly raising the camera to eye level, or dropping it back down again from eye level to resting position (arm extended). It is as if something was bouncing between the barrel and the camera body, maybe the barrel itsel or the lenses. Focus mode and steady shot modes have no impact on this, by the way.
I've had other compacts (mostly Canons: IXUS, S95, even bridges as the S3is and SX10is) but never noticed this kind of thing. Maybe the RX100 is different because sensor is bigger and lens too, and you can certainly feel the weight to it.
The camera works okay, but I would like to know if I am the only one who has noticed this (and the only one a bit bothered by it!). Thank you!!
