The editors didn't like
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
For example
There is a pop-up
No EVF
WiFi or GPS option
Limited zoom range
Incamera battery charging only
Lens flare at nigh
Slow flash recycling
Continuous AF mode slow to lock
Bit expensive like DSLR cameras
Detail loss due to excessive noise reduction
Popup flash is delicate
Slippery body makes it hard to get a grip
No WiFi
Which is becoming common in other cameras in this class
There is much to like about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, not least the premium build quality and excellent handling, including the lens ring control, extensive menu and customisation options.The camera is intuitive to use, and will please both those acc...
Unrivalled picture quality for a compact camera (sensitivity, sharpness at wideangle settings), Good build quality and design (lens ring, settings wheel) with plenty of customisable features, Good responsiveness once it's running, Full HD, 50 fps video with stereo sound
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)
The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 takes pictures that are often comparable in quality to an SLR or a mirrorless camera. In fact, depending oh what lens you use, the RX100 can even prove superior. Although there's scope for nit-picking, as far as expert compact...
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-
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.
The Sony RX100 is a very impressive camera that is capable of producing some great-looking shots with lots of detail and a good colour spread. If you’re looking for a decent mid-entry compact digital camera, the Sony RX100 offers enough features to mak...
Small and pocketable, customisable lens ring, decent image quality throughout the range, f/1.8-4.9 aperture, quality WRGB LCD screen
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)
The RX100 rarely puts a foot wrong. It's truly pocketable, has cracking image quality despite the high resolution, a great wide-aperture lens and a decent LCD screen. However its £550 asking price is a lot, and the lack of any viewfinder (or provisions...
Sleek, Great screen, Shoots in raw format, Customisable buttons, Picture Effects
Limited raw functionality, No touchscreen
For those looking for a back-up camera for when the DSLR is too bulky or inconvenient, Sony has produced a truly great camera that should also appeal to anybody wanting to trade up from a mobile phone or budget compact camera....
We did not find cons when we took the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 for a ride. The device is the best combo of an interchangeable-lens cam and a point-and-shoot product. It will make you fall in love with it on the spot....
20.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS 1/2.3” large sensor, 10 frames per second continuous shooting, High speed autofocus system
No viewfinder,
The Sony RX100 is a great compact camera that you can carry around with you anywhere. It has a powerful high-resolution sensor, good quality fixed lens with 3.6x optical zoom, and a high-speed autofocus system and up to 10fps continuous shooting support...
