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

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...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 lacks some extra features, but its laser-like focus on image quality pays off, making it one of the best point and shoot cameras ever made.

Cons:

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 RX100 Compact Camera – 51
A large-sensor pocket-size 20-megapixel camera that can shoot low-noise, high-quality images through its fast f/1.8 Zeiss zoom lens, and features DSLR-type controls that are highly customizable - sound too good to be true?
Pros:
- Compact
- Good image quality
- 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

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.

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.

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 RX100 review
The thriving high-end compact camera market is one area that Sony's broad range of Cyber-shot models hasn't infiltrated like many of its competitors. The current HX20V might teeter on the cusp of high-end, but it's not got the guts to outperform the likes of the Olympus XZ-1 or Canon G1 X .
Pros:
- Small and pocketable
- customisable lens ring
- decent image quality throughout the range
- f/1.8-4.9 aperture
- quality WRGB LCD screen
Cons:
- No viewfinder or accessory option
- lacks built-in ND filter
- no manual focus
- focus-distance display
- would like more assignable lens ring options
- it's pricey (pricier than a Sony NEX-5N
