Conclusion

"The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a professional's pocket camera that boasts a very impressive resolution for so neat and compact a device. The brand new larger sensor accommodates this while avoiding common downsides of high resolutions, including noise and clipping. Indeed, noise is close to non-existent as far as ISO 800, and even beyond that, it's very well controlled. Colours are bright and the level of detail in images is impressive, courtesy of the sharp, bright lens.

Its performance is reflected in the price, which at £500 is far beyond what you'd expect to pay for a compact. It exceeds the price of Sony's excellent Alpha A37 by a hefty 25 per cent. But if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed. This is the best compact you can buy right now."
