Superb image quality
Great for video and very nice camera to carry around.
A great electronic viewfinder that doesn't increase the size of the svelte Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III is one of the camera's highlights. Plus it offers excellent performance

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

Quality: just above average.Why you would buy the Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Mark II: compact; fast Zeiss lens.Why you wouldn't buy the Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Mark II: limited zoom range for your needs; LCD screen tilts are limited.A surprising package in such ...
The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II is undoubtedly a better camera than the original RX100, both in terms of features and image quality, but it's also a lot more expensive than the original model, which continues to be sold as part of the premium Cyber-...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II delivers excellent photos, speedy performance, and a broad feature set in an attractive, compact package
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 II's combination of looks, speed, flexibility, and photo quality makes it a great choice for enthusiasts who can afford the price tag.

Its worth re-stating that this is the best compact camera with an integrated zoom lens. You can find better performance with a fixed focal length compact like as the Ricoh GR for around $800. If you don’t mind bulky interchangeable lenses, the Sony NEX-3...

Excellent high ISO performance. 1-inch image sensor. Wide aperture lens. Customizable controls. Large, tilting LCD. Minimal shutter lag. Raw image capture. Wi-Fi. Hot shoe with EVF support.
Very expensive. Limited zoom range. In-camera battery charging only. Could be sharper at the edges of the frame at 28mm
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II compact camera offers a few worthwhile upgrades when compared with the original RX100, but comes in at a higher asking price....
Big sensor, pocketable compact form, Articulated LCD screen, Built in Wifi with NFC, Excellent low light & high ISO performance, Focus peaking, Hotshoe supports external flash, EVF and mic, Optional remote cable.
Weak stabilisation, Slow f4.9 maximum aperture at 100mm, Digital zoom can't be disabled for movies, Screen isn't touch-sensitive, No miniature effect mode for movies.
Like the best-selling RX100 before it, the Sony RX100 II delivers the same magic potion of large sensor performance in a compact format. When I wrote about the RX100 back in 2012 I said some people will 'complain it lacks a hotshoe, or an accessory po...
Though I've only had the Sony DSC-RX100M II for a few days it's become my go-to mobile camera. The RX100M II is a definitely worth the $100 premium over the RX100, which Sony continues to sell. While the RX100 M II's $749 price tag may sound like a lot, i...

We're waiting for the assessment on the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 from our labs to see just how well that will fare, but it too has a 1/1.7-inch type sensor which appears unable to match the larger Sony chip. Until such time that rivals adopt the Sony u...
