The phrase "DSLR-quality image" is bandied about too often in the world of compact cameras, in marketing materials, on retail boxes, and even within some independent reviews. These claims are almost always accompanied by qualifiers and caveats, and disappointment follows.

Very good camera. I would give it a 5 star rating except for layout for top controls. I'm rough on cameras and pull out the camera to shoot quick pics of a view or a breadcumb path trace. So the settings knob gets bumped a lot and I find that I'm often shooting off an odd setting.

The Sony RX100 is a superb camera buff's camera that's not too proud to go idiot-proof

This camera is perfect for carrying it with you wherever you go. It's more compact than my digital SLR but with many comparable features. There is even a feature where when taking a picture, it determines people in the shot and generates a second picture with closer up shots.

Don't ignore the first generation DSC.Takes great pictures with Zeiss lens.Good point and shoot presets,as well as full adjustability of aperture and speed.Fast multishot capability.I was concerned about low light performance,versus backlit sensor,but the camera performed well under challenging...

This camera already has enough reviews about the specs and performance. I'll leave that out, but I'll share my experience of it as a casual photographer.As I get more exposure into photography, I start to learn about many photographs elements.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Small / Compact

Limited Zoom; No Viewfinder; Poor Flash

I have had the RX-100 for over a week now. I am very happy with it. It took some time to understand how to use the many useful features. I am of course still experimenting and learning. All in allI am very pleased with its operation. I especially find the JPEG+RAW format useful.

Light weight; scene functions save hassle and look good; many ways to control the camera from full manual to point and shoot

It is not suitable for using during rain or other wet atmospheric conditions

Excellent camera just go for it without thinking about anything, ultra clear photos, excellent quality, good low light photos, travel friendly camera

This compact RX 100 define my needs. I used to have a DSLR camera and I feel like a professional photographer but never had the time to learn the basic. But this packet size gadget will not just let you travel light but it will also give you the same action that professional DSLR users have.

everything in it; compact and travel friendly

flash is a little too complicated to handle.

I take this with me everywhere for its handy compact size. Picture quality is excellent and speed is great. Only thing it lacks is a view finder and more optical zoom.
