While planning our honey moon trip to North Europe, I was considering which camera to bring, my SONY a99 coupled with 24-70 and a ultra wide sayang 14mm would be such a burden of weight. So I’ve decided to go with SONY RX100 IV from Shashinki.com, after several research and price comparison.

Down side?
Battery life, you’ve gotta prepare a few (like 3 at least) to barely last through a day. But the camera could be charged through mini usb, which means you could charge your cam through a portable power bank!
