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

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

Which is becoming common in other cameras in this class
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...

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...
Large image sensor. Superb image quality, even at high ISOs. Fast lens. Customizable controls. Large, extrasharp LCD. Virtually no shutter lag. Raw shooting support.
As expensive as some DSLRs. No EVF option, GPS, or WiFi. Limited zoom range. Incamera battery charging only
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 packs a relatively huge 1-inch image sensor into a point-and-shoot body, delivering close-to-SLR-quality images from a camera you can fit in your back pocket. It's expensive, but worth it....
