Sony Cyber-shot DMC-RX100 review

Like the look of the RX but could do with an even bigger sensor and four million more pixels? Then also check out the RX1, a pro grade version with an equally serious price tag. For most of us though the RX100 is as good as premium compacts get – especially with current street prices taking ￡100 off...

But as I've continued to use it, I find myself drawn to its small size (compared to a DSLR or even an NEX camera) and consisently impressed with its still and video image quality. Indeed, Sony's RX100 gives us very nearly the image quality of a DSLR in very nearly a pocket-sized package.

Hands-on Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100

Surpringly small for a 20.2-megapixel camera with a large (13.2x8.8mm) sensor, the RX100 is made of metal and equipped with a large stabilized Carl Zeiss T* 28-100mm (equivalent) f/1.8-4.9 lens with four aspherical elements. The RX100 is definitely shirt-pocket size when the lens is retracted.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100

We don't know why Sony took so long to make a pocket camera complete with a great sensor and an even greater lens. But we're glad they took this decision. Such a product was sorely needed. The superb pros of the previous model, the S100, are kept on the new Cyber-shot DSC-RX100. And we love that.

Sony RX100 Buying Guide: Which High-End Compact Camera Is Right for You?

Modern smartphones have all but killed the inexpensive pocket camera market. It's not a surprise—for casual snapshots, there are few more convenient tools than your phone, and the results are more than adequate for most folks. But there are still people out there who prefer to use a dedicated camera. You might want some zoom capability, or simply find it more comfortable to work wih physical controls. If that's you, you'll want to think about a model that outpaces your phone in image quality. The RX100 Concept The original Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100—we're just going to call it the RX100 from here on out—debuted in 2012. It was an iteration on an existing concept—an expensive point-and-shoot with features to match. If you're summing it up in a few words, they're obvious: big sensor, bright lens. The 1-inch sensor format, now used by many camera makers, is about four times the size of the imager behind your smartphone lens, and more than twice the size of the 1/1.7-inch design tha...
