Excellent image quality, customisable lens ring glides with silky smooth motion, solid build quality, great WRGB LCD screen, can add viewfinder if desired, decent image quality throughout the range, small and pocketable body considering 1-inch sensor size
Pricey, no built-in neutral density (ND) filter, f/1.8-4.9 maximum aperture range may feel limited at longer focal lengths, rear buttons are small, no focus-distance in manual focus, generalised focus area in low-light conditions, response time lags in me
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II is all kinds of wonderful, yet all kinds of pricey too. To cut to the chase the latest model is ultimately the original with a hotshoe attachment which, for some, will make it worth every penny. For others, and with the...
Like the look of the RX but could do with an even bigger sensor and four million more pixels? Then also check out the RX1, a pro grade version with an equally serious price tag. For most of us though the RX100 is as good as premium compacts get – espec...
Palm size compact that is reassuringly solid, larger than average sensor and resolution given its proportions, bright/fast lens, ability to control functions via twist of the lens ring, neatly incorporated pop-up flash, sharp results
Pricey for a compact on which the lens cannot be swapped, tiny rear plate buttons require fingernail precision

Palmsize compact that is reassuringly solid. Largerthanaverage sensor and resolution given its proportions. Bright and fast lens. Ability to control functions via twist of the lens ring. Neatly incorporated popup flash. Sharp results
Pricey for a compact without an interchangeable lens. Tiny rear plate buttons require fingernail precision
One of the largest image sensors to be found in a compact camera, high 20MP resolution, Full HD video with stereo sound, full manual controls and intelligent auto settings, solid aluminium construction and understated design
Very expensive for a pocket camera, backplate buttons are small enough to warrant fingertip precision, image quality not exact match for DSLR or system cameras offering even larger sensor for a similar cost
There are 10 shooting options provided in all, running the usual gamut of manual and full auto modes, with a Superior Auto choice automatically enhancing images at the point of capture. Imagine an in-camera Photoshop ‘Auto Levels' tool, though processing...
Excellent stills; impressive low-light results; Accurate colour reproduction; Large sensor; Movie mode; Wide aperture lens; Versatile control ring
Some wind noise on movies; Control ring can be a little slow; No bundled battery charging cradle; Extremely pricey
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 doesn't come cheap, but it looks great and produces consistently first-class stills. Low-light performance can't be faulted, colour reproduction is excellent and movies are crisp, with a well-captured soundtrack. This is t...

Given the relative lack of physical buttons on the back and top of the camera body, the control ring that runs around the base of the lens is a useful addition that helps to make the camera much more enjoyable to use. Used in tandem with the Function (Fn)...
Sony RX100 review – verdict There's no doubt that the RX100 delivers the goods, but it has strong competition in the shape of the Fujifilm FinePix X20 and Canon Powershot S110. We'd advise getting hands-on with all three if at all possible, but if not, we...
