Oh man I miss the bush!!For land shooting I did buy a Small Rig grip with nicely finished wooden handle. See the last pictures for how small the camera is.
The grip helped me shoot the RX100 VII like a larger camera still allowing easy access to the bottom for memory card and battery changes.
It was wonderful to travel so light and make pictures I was happy with
I'll continue to do the same underwater!

David,To ALMitch,
I use a Fantasea FRX100 LE housing that fits the Sony RX100 M6 and M7 models. You can only zoom between 24 - 66mm but that's the most usable range of the RX100 M7's 24-200mm optical lens for underwater. anyway.
I'm not a macro shooter these days preferring wide angle and the occasional mid-range fish photo.
For the whales I borrowed a friends Inon UWL-H100 lens which widened my RX100 M7 to make 96 degrees (???) Not super wide but it was small and easy to snorkel with. The whales are usually far away from where they drop you off and while challenging it was super fun
When I return to Moorea' October 2022 I'll likely take the newer Inon UWL-95 C24 Lens M67 Type 2 mount which is designed for compacts with a 24mm wide lens.
Maybe add the dome (both glass and polycarbonate are available) that widen the view to 140 degrees but to be honest sometimes the whales won't let you get that close.
As to the Africa shots they were taken in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Botswana where I journeyed August 2021. It was amazing and I don't think I gave up anything photographic wise taking only the Sony RX100 M7
Hope this information helps!

Hi David,Jordi,
Did you shoot any of the other RX100 models before purchasing the VII? If you did, is the AF appreciably improved from the earlier models?
Thank you,
David
