After a thorough research, I've purchased this camera that has all the exceptional picture quality and ease of use. Though I wanted to buy a DSLR, I've opted to buy this one which is compact in size and equal in quality. WIFI feature is good and tilt screen is a +

Consider it as a DSLR in the pocket. Intelligent Auto mode gives the best photo you can take in any environment and SCN mode with Anti-Blur can be used to take stunning night photos.

The website dishonestly leaves this information out of the product description. You are buying an imported item originally meant for a different market. These products are also not originally sealed but instead are re-sealed.

Fantastic image quality, with some really nice in-built creative effects. Bigger than usual sensor size gives superior images. Wifi handy to send photos to smartphone - but be aware that videos are not compatible/playable on iPhones/iPads.

Compact; Build quality; Battery life; Screen size

Excellent camera for a fair price, you will be surprised once you get it. Wish it was made in JAPAN, but its made in china.

camera is amazing

doesn't not include a case

Very nice camera, meets all my needs. Highly recommend it.

I'm just not sure what the competition is with this one. HIGH Quality pics, better than average video, great glass. Sharp as a tack. Manual control for those who wish, certainly good enough to use only on Auto, though.

Hand-held Twilight uses the same trick as High Dynamic Range, but to get a steady, decently lit shot at night without a tripod. And Picture Effects lets you add 13 different effects to your photo. Illustration turns it into a line drawing; miniature makes it look like a scale model, etc.

Best photo and video quality of any pocket camera; Quick-shooting; Full manual control; Fits easily into a jacket or pants pocket

Smooth finish is hard to grip; some say; Very few buttons to handle lots of tasks; Flimsy flash stalk and USB/card doors

Sony has once again raised the bar for advanced compact cameras with the RX100 II. Building on the wildly popular RX100, the RX100 II adds a tilting rear LCD screen, flash/accessory hot shoe, built-in Wi-Fi, and a backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor for improved low-light and high-ISO performance.

New, 20.2MP, 1-inch type, backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor produces superb image quality, with particular improvements in low light and high ISO; 3-inch tilting rear LCD screen handy for composing shots from difficult angles; Fast all-around performer with quick autofocus and virtually no...

Bigger and heavier than previous model; More expensive than previous model; Reduced burst performance when shooting RAW files; Somewhat confusing menu structure and control layout; Wi-Fi features can be difficult to set up, Slightly larger than original model, pushes limit of being a "pocket"...

When you first hear the $649 price tag for the Sony Cyber-shot RX100, $649 might seem over the top for a compact digicam.

Pretty much the best compact digicam ever (at least under $1k); Carl Zeiss optics; handsome retro-tastic design and great build-quality; excellent photo and video chops

Pricey; battery life could be better; we had an "incident" where the humid weather created condensation in the lens and temporarily resulted in blurry photos; no interchangeable lens system
