The only downside to this camera, which for some isn't a downside at all, is that it offers far more options than I would ever use. However, I bought it for its compact size and large sensor, and it has delivered many, many terrific images for me.

Great image quality

More complicated than I need

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

Great product. Full of resources in a pocket size. Very good image quality.

Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use; Full Of Resources; Perfect Size; Quality Construction

Grip Could Be Better

‘The best camera is the one you have on you' is a phrase commonly repeated by many photographers. This is why those models that are small and light enough to be kept with you are so useful. Sony's Cyber-shot RX100 is exactly this type of camera.

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

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 lacks some extra features, but its laser-like focus on image quality pays off, making it one of the best point and shoot cameras ever made.

A 1-inch sensor and high-end Zeiss lens offer exceptional image quality

The RX100 has a limited optical zoom range

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.

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 make it worth your while.

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.

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.
