The Sony RX100 ii (I hate alpha-numeric product names) is not an ordinary pocket camera. Sure, it is very small, can be set for full automation and has all of those face and smile detector features that consumers like. Forget all of that, this is a serious tool, aimed at serious photographers.

Outstanding image quality; metal build; Carl Zeiss lens

Expensive; optional EVF very expensive; lens slow at long end

: This is a small improvement on the much-praised RX100. The 20 megapixel sensor matched with the image stabilised 3.6X Zeiss-branded zoom (30-108mm equivalent) is still the standard setter for compact cameras.

Pros: When my Canon S100 camera screen broke, I needed a replacement. After researching the market for a point and shoot replacement, I decided on the Sony RX100 II Cyber-shot. The camera is only slightly larger than the Canon S100 and takes outstanding, sharp pictures with accurate color.

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

No External Flash Availab
