We bought this camera to replace our older one Sony Powershot G-12 (which we lost). And to our surprise I loved it from the time I took into my hands. This is just simply one great pocketable camera that will out-run most of the bigger competitors in the yard.

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.

Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Compact Camera – 51

  • Fast aperture at wide-angle
  • Good balance of features
Cons:
  • Fixed lens
  • Slow aperture at telephoto
  • Some time and effort to master menu and features

Small wonder

Sony hopes to challenge the big boys with its little compact. WE have heard a lot of good things about Sony's latest compact camera, the DSC-RX100. The camera has powerful features and it'll be interesting to see how it fares in a world dominated by DSLRs and mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras...
Pros:
  • Great photo quality
  • compact size
  • smartly designed controls for manual shooting
Cons:
  • Pricey
  • HD video recording not great

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...

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 review

A compact with heavyweight features yet a lightweight body. That's the proposition offered by Sony's good-looking RX100, which encases a larger than average one-inch CMOS sensor, enabling a plentiful 20.2 megapixel effective resolution within an aluminium chassis.
Pros:
  • Palm-size compact that is reassuringly solid
  • Larger-than-average sensor and resolution given its proportions
  • Bright and fast lens
  • Ability to control functions via twist of the lens ring
  • Neatly incorporated pop-up flash
  • Sharp results
Cons:
  • Pricey for a compact without an interchangeable lens
  • Tiny rear plate buttons require fingernail precision

Your pocket-sized 'DSLR'

Have had the RX100 for nearly four months now and am staggered by the image quality. Compacts have disppointed in the past mainly due to their focussing speed. No problem with this little beauty. It fits into a jeans pocket with no problems at all, and it's very disrete indeed.
Pros:
  • Durable
  • Great Features
  • Great Picture Quality
  • Lightweight

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Camera Mini Review + Sample Photos

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