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.

Not Very Solid; Wears Easily

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

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...
