Magic Filters[/URL]. I think it will help you to better understand the difference between the two, and what a filter will or will not do. Good luck with your research, and I am sure you will find the right camera set up for your needs.

I have the original RX100 and have taken a few shots while filming....but as mentioned above they are JPG. I shoot everything in RAW... it really is a must...assuming you want to get the best out of the camera.
The biggest issue is that underwater you really do need a strobe....or two for good quality photos. And obviously when filming the strobe wont fire.

I certainly would not say that you should base your choice on model on this one feature. I hardly ever use it really.
Considering your budget constraint why not consider the RX100 II. The two has the same lens but a much faster autofocus. The autofocus on the original is quite slow!
And the II has a few other improvements that would be far more beneficial to you.

Hi guys - sorry to bust in but I just posted my rx100-III with aluminum housing in the classified section. Barely used for 1200. Housing is Aquapazza - 865 US new. I'm in Canada and u can email me at rbrannan64@hotmail.com if you're interested.

So I got my hands on a rx100 mark 2. Here is a comparison in relatively low light conditions. Result: the picture during video is NOT a frame grab, it has much better quality. However, it does not have nearly as good quality as a standard picture. Also, compared with the rx100 m4 the quality of the picture during still seems a bit lower.
