The editors didn't like
The buttons are a bit fiddly and the settings sometimes hard to access. It can be difficult to use and there's little good creative fun available
The camera shuts down when you retract the viewfinder

Short zoom range, No touchscreen
The RX100 II improves on what many considered to be almost the perfect compact camera. The only real issue is the premium price tag, but if you're willing to fork out then you'll own one of the best compacts money can buy.Next, read our round-up of the be...

The Sony RX100 II is a top-of-the-range expert compact camera. It's pricey, but it's definitely a cut above the rest. With its resolution, low-light sensitivity, video mode, Wi-Fi, optical zoom and more, this is without a doubt the best pocket camera on t...
Tilting screen, Full manual control, Wi, Fi compatibility, Excellent low, light performance
No touchscreen, Limited Wi, Fi functionality
The biggest bugbear at the moment is the Sony RX100 Mark II's price, which will hopefully come down in due course. As it stands, it seems like a good idea for Sony to continue to market both versions of the camera at the same time, the original Sony RX10...
Rock solid construction, Tilting screen and hot shoe, Excellent Carl Zeiss lens
Tiny back plate buttons, EVF costs extra, No handgrip
The 20.2 effective megapixel 1in sensor incorporating Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II is the advanced compact we'd most like to own if budget wasn't a prime concern. Alternatively we'd go for the £350 Fuji XQ1 if it was, or seek out an older first-generation Son...
Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens. Nikon's 100th birthday party continues worldwide as a distributor in Italy organized a one-of-a-kind feat: assembling the world's largest 'human camera' from ov...

Abstract: The enthusiast compact market has exploded over the last couple of years, with several manufacturers offering a product with 1"-type sensors. Most of these cameras are small (and sometimes pocketable) and feature fast (but short) lenses. They also vary in...
Excellent image quality, Broad feature set, Good lowlight performance
Slippery body, No touch screen
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II adds a few well-received features, including Wi-Fi, to those of its highly rated sibling camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 (Est. $440). The DSC-RX100 II delivers the best images produced by a compact camera, and is aim...

Excellent still and video quality for a pocket camera, very fast autofocus and shottoshot speeds, surprisingly good at high ISOs in low light, small form factor lets you take it anywhere, handy, tilting, 3inch rear display
Pricey, slow startup and shutdown speeds, slightly bigger and heavier than previous model, WiFi features difficult to set up, Price: $750, www.sony.com, Check out all of our handson camera reviews at www.pdnonline.com/cameras
While you probably wouldn't want to use the Sony RX100 II for your serious professional work, during our testing, it proved to be more than adept at capturing high-quality still images and video that rival some DSLRs. And that's saying a lot. With point-a...
New, 20.2MP, 1inch type, backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor produces superb image quality, with particular improvements in low light and high ISO, 3inch tilting rear LCD screen handy for composing shots from difficult angles, Fast allaround performer
Bigger and heavier than previous model, More expensive than previous model, Reduced burst performance when shooting RAW files, Somewhat confusing menu structure and control layout, WiFi features can be difficult to set up
Sony has once again raised the bar for advanced compact cameras with the RX100 II. Building on the wildly popular RX100, the RX100 II adds a tilting rear LCD screen, flash/accessory hot shoe, built-in Wi-Fi, and a backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor for im...
