Handles low light shots well
1" sensor gives lownoise shots at ISO 3200
Pocketable
Incredible amount of DoF at f1/1.8
WiFi/NFC compliant.
Large 1-inch sensor allows high ISO shooting without much noise
Superb image quality, great for video and very nice camera to carry around.
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
It's a definite hit for the purist photographer but it won't be the whole family's cup of tea because it's not a lot of fun. Sometimes enthusiasts need a little enthusing too....
High-end point-and-shoots like the RX100 II tend to make shopping a bit tough for camera shoppers. Unless you have your heart set on the II, you'll be cross-shopping with a bunch of really great options, many of which may better fit your needs.If you don'...
Beautiful photos and movies, f/1.8 3.6x zoom, Tilting 3-inch LCD screen, Wi-Fi with NFC
100mm on tele-end a bit limited, Full aperture range only at wide-angle, Slow shutter speed, Poorly placed red-dot video button
Hallelujahs and cheers greeted the original RX100, with one critic going so far as to claim it was the best compact ever. (The RX100, by the way, is still available, now for $150 less.) The RX100 II keeps the momentum going, and offers the best image qu...
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....
On paper, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II could appear to be a simple upgrade but it is far more than that. As a result of customer feedback about the original Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, lots of very useful features have been implemented or improved for use i...
New tilting screen is useful, Impressive build quality, Hot shoe accessory support, Large, 1-inch sensor
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...
New BSI CMOS sensor performs well in low light, High resolution, topquality pictures, Creative modes, sweep panorama, Goodquality and comprehensive video mode, Compact design (fits in a trouser pocket), RAW mode, f/1.8 lens aperture at wideangle, Builtin
Dynamic range drops upwards of 800 ISO, No touchscreen, screen surface is quite prone to scratches, No GPS, Zoom aperture isn't great at long focal lengths, f/4.9 aperture at telephoto, Battery recharges incamera (no separate charger)
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...
