The Sony DSC-RX100 has surpassed all our expectations for what a compact digital camera can do. It's tiny enough to be carried in a pants pocket (even if you prefer a tight style), yet it can produce image quality that some digital SLRs can't come close to.

  • Menu could be a little better
  • Some trouble with auto exposures
  • Some noticeable lens distortion
