For those that don't know, what is vignette or vignetting?
"In photography and optics, vignetting (/vɪnˈjɛtɪŋ/; French: "vignette") is a reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center.
Vignetting is often an unintended and undesired effect caused by camera
settings or lens limitations. However, it is sometimes deliberately
introduced for creative effect, such as to draw attention to the center
of the frame." - Wikipedia
In general, a good lens should not vignette or at least show minimum darkening of the image corners.

Sony RX100 lll, Ultimate Compact?
When Sony launched its first RX100 back in 2012, the photo communities were in awe. This year's iteration is by far the most impressive yet, it came with a superior lens and a unique pop-up EVF!
There are compact cameras that look "cute" but only able to produce so so pictures, and there are compacts that not only look cute, well built and take quality photos; the little Sony belongs to this.
Thanks to our local Photo Warehouse, I have the opportunity to try out this much talk about Sony compact for four days!
