Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100

Because of the big sensor and the Carl Zeiss lens, the images get extreme high level of details and sharpness. Also at low light conditions, the RX 100 do the job correctly. The smart functions of night shot, panaorama and HDR, similar as the NEX models, makes it really great to use. SONY has really lifted their cameras and their software above the competiors. The full HD video makes the camera also to be my best video camera ever. The zoom range of 3,6x is a limitation.  BUT : The internal ...

I've been using this camera along with my A65 and A55 for 9 months now and all I can say is wow! Excellent in every way for a compact pocketable and a great companion for users of larger ICL cameras. The only downfall is the 100mm max makes it very limited for sports and wildlife.

I've had it for a week now, and it's lived up to my expectations, mostly. It replaced a Canon S110 which I had on loan for a couple of weeks, while waiting for the RX100. A few thoughts on the relative merits of these two cameras: (1) the RX100 has better IQ (high ISO, clearly, but also the "texture" which I guess is attributable to the larger sensor) (2) the S110's build ...

Excellent quality that fits in my pocket. Still love my K5 and DA* lens but they don't fit in the pocket. People are much more casual when this little gem is pointed at them. Could not be happier.

Since getting the RX100, I've all but ceased use off my NEX-3.  Its size/performance ratio is incredible.  Thankfully, the interface is worlds better than the NEX camera too.  It is NOT cheap by any means, and I bought mine at full $650 MSRP from the Sony Store on a pre-order that shipped out with the first batch.  There are cameras that are cheaper, but none that combine the performance and pocketability of this camera.

It goes everywhere with me, mostly on my belt. When I am serious about shooting outside, I use a 'Hoodman' that turns the Sony into a DSLR effectively, but its bright screen setting works well in a pinch. It shoots 10 fps, has custom color balance, auto and setable dynamic range settings, a workable manual setting for both exposure and focus, including a focus assist that really works. Controlable noise reduction and flash-fill, and many more like a full-featured DSLR. Good built quality, ...

To be quite honest, I don't know what I could tell you about this camera that you doesn't really know. What do I like about it? Superb high ISO images. Small enough to fit in my pants pockets. Nice colors/WB and tonality. Very effective in-camera HDR, and very cool Panorama function. What I don't like? Hum... Expensive. Slippery. Battery drains quickly. An electronic viewfinder would be more than welcome! Beside those minor complaints, I love this camera. With the RX100 in my pocket and my ...

suberb in every action, especially in photo quality and video capabilities! Problems: -not direct video playback access -not direct flash button -not fast at tele(f 4.9)

I have been an avid SLR user for 25 years, more recently DSLR. I could never afford a larger format, and I'm a hobbyist, so for me an SLR was the one to have. But I have always seem my friends with their little point and shoots, and envied the portability! This camera is exactly what I was thinking about all these years - works like an SLR, fits in my pocket. Brilliant! First up - image quality - I can't fault it. Even at high ISO it's fabulous. It's easy to use in any mode, and you can ...

I've owned a lot of gear over the past decade or so. See my previously owned gear list if you don't believe me. I'm always looking for a big punch in a small package because I'm a mountain adventurer which includes hiking, scrambling, climbing and skiing. The RX100 is the best compact camera with a sensor size under APS-C that I've ever owned. In my mind, it even beats the m43 line up (which I've used extensively) because it's so darn small and takes such amazing photos! When processing the ...
