As compact as the Sony RX100 is
It still feels very sturdy
Not that we’d expect any less from Sony. The design is smooth
Weighty and pleasing enough to want to be seen carrying one around. There’s a bit of a retro
Yet modern charm about it. Good design extends to a sensible button layout that won’t confuse even the most novice of camera types. The RX100 is dead easy to use. Its features well-

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
There's no doubt that the RX100 delivers the goods, but it has strong competition in the shape of the Fujifilm FinePix X10 and Canon Powershot S100. We'd advise getting hands-on with all three if at all possible, but if not, we'll sum up that three-way by...
Abstract: I hesitate to label this a compact camera, because the Sony DSC-RX100 is somewhat in a class of its own. While it may look like a compact point-and-shoot camera, it ranks much higher in terms of camera capabilities and image qualities. The single most out...
Good image quality with lots of detail, Good low-light performance for a digital compact, Speedy autofocus, Fast F1.8 lens
Battery can only be charged in-camera, Slower at f/4.9 at longest end, Pricey
The biggest issue that we foresee consumers will have with the RX100 is its price. At PhP 34,999, you can grab an entry-level DSLR or a mirrorless system camera. So why is the RX100 costlier than its peers? The Canon S100, for instance, costs PhP 28,998 o...
Exceptional JPEG output with great noise reduction, white light and contrast capture; Live View gives accurate representation of actual image captured; Great lowlight shots due to highend lens and 1" sensor; Fast autofocus; Full manual controls for video; Very compact body,
Quickly increasing aperture as you zoom in; Slow zoom in movies; Slow autofocus at complete zoom for close objects; Flimsy flash mechanism; HD video capture modes limited to AVCHD.
At the end of the day the Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 is a point & shoot camera, so when its limitations do show up, I can understand the technical reasons behind it. The simple fact of the matter is that right now there is no other point & shoot, let al...

If you're looking for the best digital compact in the market today, then the RX100 should definitely be in your shortlist. Build quality is superb, and the camera features a host of modes and options that will not only appeal to the beginner, but also the...
Gorgeous images from a huge sensor and a terrific lens, in a tiny body, Micro USB charging is convenient, Built in flash can be tilted back with your thumb for ceilingbounce lighting, Fast, snappy and responsive, Comes with some neat photo effects for tho
At this price point the RX100 is competing with big boy cameras that have interchangeable lenses, Not much expandability (i.e. external flash or mic input, add on lens modifiers or filters, etc), Will make you feel insecure about your current pocket camer
Excelente resolución y calidad de imagen en todas la sensibilidades, Cámara muy compacta, Vídeo de gran calidad y con opciones de ajuste, Modo panorámico y HDR/DRO, Duración de la batería y carga vía USB
Ergonomía de una cámara compacta: accesos a funciones, pantalla fija, falta de visor, agarre, etc, Zoom poco luminoso en posición tele, Ausencia de verdadero modo macro, En ocasiones es lenta al grabar / acceder a las imágenes, No incluye cargador externo
Como hemos ido comentando a lo largo del análisis, la Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 nos ha producido unas sensaciones parecidas a las de la Canon PowerShot S110, no en vano son muy similares en su aspecto exterior. En ambos casos se ha hecho un magnífico trab...

Su estructura metálica resistente a golpes y su capacidad para grabar video en Full HD
No cuenta con muchos filtros de fotografía
Esta cámara tiene una buena resolución de imagen, diseño atractivo y además es resistente, así que si quieres calidad y buen gusto, en el modelo RX100 de Sony lo tienes....
