  • As compact as the Sony RX100 is

The editors didn't like

  • There are few real complaints to be had here
  • But it’s a shame the LCD viewfinder isn’t touchscreen
  • And the RX100 could be quicker to fix its autofocus on subjects - something bound to irk the more practiced photographers. You also won’t be able to use the fun photo effects on board when shooting in raw mode.
  • Very pricey for a pocket cam
  • Small rear plate buttons
  • Pics no match for DSLR or CSC
  • 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
  • Limited raw functionality
  • No touchscreen
  • No viewfinder or accessory option
  • Lacks built-in ND filter
  • No manual focus
  • Focus-distance display
  • Would like more assignable lens ring options
  • It's pricey (pricier than a Sony NEX-5N)
  • Some wind noise on movies
  • Control ring can be a little slow
  • No bundled battery charging cradle
  • Extremely pricey
  • 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
  • Lens quality could be a little more consistent at telephoto settings
  • Startup is a bit on the slow side
  • Battery life (330 photos
  • Compared with 400 for the Panasonic LX5)
  • Pricey for a compact on which the lens cannot be swapped
  • Tiny rear plate buttons require fingernail precision
  • A bit expensive
  • Pricey for a compact without an interchangeable lens. Tiny rear plate buttons require fingernail precision

  • The RX100 is quite possibly the best pocketable compact digital camera ever made. Time Magazine recently named it as one of its 50 best inventions of 2012, stating that it: "bridges the gap between point-and-shoots and pro-quality," and they weren't lying...

  • Excellent still image quality, Good autofocus and shutter lag performance, Good ISO performance given resolution, Full manual controls along with fully automatic and RAW shooting format
  • Cost, No external battery charger, Below average printed user's manual, RAW converter must be downloaded
  • The Sony RX100 packs a lot of image quality punch into a truly shirt pocket portable compact digital camera. Shutter lag and autofocus performance are quite good, still image quality is on the high end of the pecking order for true compact digitals and ...

  • Given the sensor size the the solid performance of the RX100, I can’t see a better point and shoot camera on the market right now. The RX100 is fast and produces extremely solid images for a camera that easily fits in your pocket.If you can stomach th...

  • Big sensor, pocketable compact form factor, Programmable lens control ring, 10fps full-resolution burst shooting, Shallow depth of field, Raft of stacking modes.
  • Rear control wheel not customisable, Digital zoom can't be disabled in movie mode, No built-in memory and lack of 'No card' warning.
  • The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 is, without doubt, one of the most exciting compact releases in many years. That it comes at a time when other manufacturers - Canon, Fujifilm and Panasonic among them - are also releasing exciting compact models makes it all...

  • Excellent photo quality in a compact package; noise performance blows other compacts out of the water, Fast F1.84.9, 28 100 mm Zeiss lens, Ultrasharp 3inch LCD display, with good outdoor and low light visibility, Full manual controls, including RAW support; focus peaking feature comes in very handy when manually focusing, Intelligent and Superior Auto modes make pointandshoot photography a snap,
  • On the expensive side, Tends to clip highlights, with occasional (slight) underexposure, Redeye a problem, Needs a grip, badly, Other design annoyances: control ring around lens hard to get ahold of, HDMI port located on bottom of camera, can't access memory card or battery when using a tripod, Bare bones playback mode; can't view stills and movies at the same time, Internal battery charging isn'
  • Conclusion While it's not perfect, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is the closest thing to having an SLR-in-your-pocket that I've seen yet. While Canon tried the big sensor in a fixed lens camera thing with the PowerShot G1 X, that model is ungainly, to...

  • Speed, good looks, and pretty pictures number among the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's strengths
  • The camera tends to clip bright highlights more than we typically see, and the slippery body lacks a grip. Plus, the lack of a manually triggered macro mode might put off some fans of close-up photography
  • The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's compact, elegant design, generally excellent photo quality, bright, fast lens, and speedy performance make a great package if you don't mind spending a little more money.

  • Sony's Cyber-shot RX100 is a worthy entry in the field of high-end compacts. Even though we feel that the camera's performance might have been better served keeping the pixel count down, we ended up with some great images.Moreover, the experience of shoot...

  • There is a lot to like about the camera, but without question, the camera's focusing abilities are its best feature. In low light, bright light, near, far, or anywhere in between, images look great. The ability to pick up macro-level detail isn't easy for
  • The product is nearly perfect, with flaws so nitpicky and minor that most every user would shrug them off. The biggest hangup, really, is the price. But you can find a few tiny technical shortcomings if you look hard enough, Advertisement, For example, th
  • On performance alone, absolutely. This is a camera that 90% of the population can pull out of a pocket on a whim to fire off a few beautiful shots without much trouble. Still, this is not a camera for everyone.Lets say youre thinking of buying a DSLR or...

  • Abstract:  I have been using the Sony RX100 for about a week now and I have to say that it is a stunning little camera. It packs 20MP CMOS image sensor and the fixed zoom lens provides 28-100mm equivalent zoom range with a max f/1.8 aperture.The RX100 gives a proper...
