That's an understatement. Two years ago while on holiday the camera fell out of a vehicle in a car park at night unnoticed, and next day was found severely crushed: the front lens shutters had to be opened by hand, the LCD screen was shattered, the camera appeared to have been run over by a truck, dented all over.

And yet! And yet it ''still'' worked, and recorded our three week holiday. Even the flash worked. The EVF worked well. On returning home from holiday, it took three re-builds and almost a year to get it fixed, but it is now working, over two years later.

And yet! And yet it ''still'' worked, and recorded our three week holiday. Even the flash worked. The EVF worked well. On returning home from holiday, it took three re-builds (including 2 new lenses and 1 focusing motor) and almost a year to get it fixed, but it is now working, over two years later.
After the first rebuild by Sony UK, it still had a lens fault (costing quite a lot), though they couldn't see it. 2nd rebuild, same story, same outcome, techs mystified. 3rd rebuild: smarter camera mechanic replaced the motherboard (at my suggestion). That finally did the trick. Do I love that little RX100M3? Guess.
