The Sony RX100 II is one of the best compacts we have tested. The price point of Rs. 42,990 is something that is a bit of a bother. Allow us to explain. The Sony RX100 is still a capable camera and apart from a BSI sensor and improved sensitivity, the other additions such as Wi-Fi/NFC and hot-shoe...

It's a big claim: "The best pocket camera ever made." … or so The New York Times declares. No doubt...

Bought one of these three or four years ago and thought it so good I bought one for my son as well. Although seldom used, both worked well until both developed exactly the same fault, which makes them unusable. This fault seems to be well documented on forums and cannot be fixed via Sony helpline.

Bought this camera a couple years ago. It had great reviews and takes great pictures, but it has started whirring non-stop (like it is constantly trying to track or focus), and that is audible in all videos and makes it difficult to hear anything in the video over the whirring.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is the point-and-shoot camera that many an enthusiast has dreamed of. It's got an image sensor that's the same size as the mirrorless Nikon J1 and a 3.6x zoom lens that opens up to f/1.8 on the wide end, all packed into a camera that can slide into your back pocket.
