The Sony RX10 was a great idea from the get-go. A rugged video/still hybrid with a sharp, bright and versatile lens.
Unfortunately, it doesn't deliver on a series of key points.
The build quality is only so-so, with a screen that eventually broke, and an aperture switch that is far from smooth. It is weather-sealed though, but Sonys weathersealing is generally not to be trusted.
Performance is also lacklustre. The lens is pretty sharp and the sensor is good, but it is let down a slow operating camera. Turning on the thing takes several seconds, while zooming is even slower.
The only bright light is the video quality. It delivers great FHD quality, udeable AF and built-in ND-filters that makes it shine for video. But then Sony chose to compromise the thing with a screen that doesnøt swivel and gets halfway covered by the oversized finder.
I wouldn't get this again.
