I finally bit the bullet and picked up a used RX100 VII for my trip to Japan next month. Super excited to use it in Tokyo but man this thing is tiny and feels like a wet bar of soap lol. I'm trying to figure out what I actually need to buy before I leave because my budget is pretty tight after spending so much on the camera itself. I've got maybe $150 or $200 left for extras.

I spent all night looking at reviews and everyone keeps mentioning the SmallRig cage or that official Sony stick-on grip. The cage looks cool for protection but doesn't it kind of ruin the whole pocketable vibe of the RX series? I'm torn because I'm clumsy as hell but I want to keep it small. Also seen a lot of debate about the batteries. Some people say buy 4 extras but others say just carry a power bank and charge via USB while walking around. Does the VII actually charge fast enough for that to work or will I just be stuck with a dead brick halfway through the day?

Here is what I'm looking at so far:

• a decent wrist strap maybe Peak Design
• extra batteries or a dedicated charger
• some kind of screen protector
• maybe a tiny tripod for night shots in Osaka

What am I missing? Is there anything that's a total waste of money that I should avoid? I'm mainly doing street shots and some family video stuff so I dont need a full pro rig or anything...
