I've had the RX100 for a few months now. I don't go out of my way to write reviews very often, but this is one of those rare products which *really* deserves it. If you're like me- coming from various point and shoots with some experience with borrowed DSLRs- I expect you'll be blown away. I'm sure it sounds like hype to a lot of people, but the RX100 really does provide performance similar to an APS-C DSLR in a tiny package. If you're thinking about entry/mid level DSLR like the Canon Rebel T5i or Nikon D3200 and not planning on getting lenses more than the kit 18-55 zoom that it comes with, I'd seriously recommend checking out the RX100.When shopping for a new camera at the beginning of 2013, I started by limiting myself to various advanced compacts like the Canon S110, Panasonic LX7, Olympus XZ-2, Nikon P7700, Canon G15, and Fujifilm X20. The RX100 was so expensive that I dismissed it out of hand- I'd always spent less than half the RX100's price for a camera and the idea of a six hundred dollar plus (!) point and shoot seemed absolutely insane. Because of this, the nearly as expensive X20 and XZ-2 went out the window. After reading way too many reviews and comparing way too many photos, I eventually found myself contemplating the RX100 and decided to just go for it after getting a nice end of year bonus. I'm very glad I did!What I love about this camera:1. Fast and accurate Auto Focus: The AF is very fast, even in low light. Faster than some of the DSLRs I've used with the 18-55 kit lens- easily beat the Nikon D3000 and D3100 and faster than all of the NEX cameras I've used, including my NEX-5R with kit lens. Has far fewer misfocuses or failed AF than my NEX-5R or my wife's EOS M has.2. Fast operation: Shutter lag is short, images pop up for review instantly, and a half shutter press lets you take another photo with no delay. I never have to sit around and wait for the camera to be ready for me.3. Configurability: The menus are less intuitive than a Canon PowerShot for me, but once you have your Fn menu and other buttons all set up you never have to go menu diving, which I really like. I'm able to change settings very quickly.4. Crazy Battery Life: This doesn't always get mentioned, but it's important to me. The second day I had the RX100 I went to a concert, starting off with a full battery. At the end of the night I had taken 500 shots and still had 50% battery life. It's genuinely shocking to me. Mind you, I only use flash and didn't that night.5. Wonderful lens: IMHO, it outperforms every DSLR kit lens I've used in color, contrast, and clarity. There are some compromises they had to make to keep the lens small, like sharp corners at wide angle fully open but what a lot of reviewers seem to forget is that you see the same type of compromises on most compact zoom lenses. My RX100's lens performs better than my NEX-5R's 18-55, that much is for sure.What I don't like mostly has to do with the kind of dumb design decisions that Sony seems to make for all of their NEX and Alpha cameras:1. Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) is very poorly designed. Only +/- 0.7 EV?! And you have to hold the shutter down for the AEB sequence, introducing camera shake and movement. Pretty dumb.2. You can't use the self-timer with AEB - again, needlessly making AEB useless. Bad design.3. No option for a remote: they fixed this with the RX100m2. I have to admit, I was actually kind of surprised- good to see Sony listening to users! Bummer they couldn't make a way for the new wired remote to work with the RX100, though.4. Would have been nice to have some sort of slow-motion video (120 or 240 fps or better) and time lapse feature built-in5. Bulb mode: without a remote, the Sony way of doing Bulb mode is almost useless. I'm not going to hold the shutter down with my finger for a 20 minute star trail! :PIn short, the RX100 has been an excellent all-around camera for me. Great for landscapes when hiking and trail running and it keeps up with my kids in all kinds of light. It performs as well as or even better than a lot of entry level mirrorless and DSLR cameras at higher price tags than the RX100. If you're thinking about getting a DSLR or other interchangeable lens camera and don't plan on buying any lenses other than the one it comes with, you really owe it to yourself to consider the RX100.

Expectations where very high when I purchased this little camera. Nearly every review hailed the RX100 as the best compact camera available today. I do photography as a hobby and like to carry a general purpose camera everywhere with me.I have previously owned a Canon S100 but sold it due to underwhelming performance and an E18 lens error. I rarely use my DSLR anymore and figured a solid compact camera I could take anywhere would encourage me to take more photos. I've been using the RX100 for a couple of months and here are my impressions so far:Pros:-Image Quality: I've owned roughly a dozen compact cameras over the last six years including an S100, several Panasonic travels zooms, a Sony HX9V, Nikon P100, etc. They're all had their pluses but in terms of overall image quality (especially low light), the RX100 blows them all out of the water. Photos taken at 1600 ISO are perfectly usable; something I would never have thought with a compact. Overall, images look great!-Build quality: The camera exudes quality. It feels solid and well built. Hopefully it will last for years and be reliable.-Ergonomics: I have large hands and the camera feels comfortable to hold and use. I ordered a Richard Franiec grip because at times the camera felt a bit slippery. The buttons are small but that has never really been a problem.-Screen: the screen is sharp and reasonably bright although I found it slightly too dim in direct sunlight. There is a mode to boost the brightness however.-Customization: I like the ability to customize some of the keys on the back. Also, you are able to customize the menu of the Fn button for frequently used settings making it easy to change things like metering mode and focus points on the fly.-Video: the video quality is great. The camera records in stereo. Zoom and AF are available while shooting.-Battery: battery life is good, not great. However, I do appreciate that a genuine Sony battery is around $30; very reasonable in my book. My old Panasonic took $50 genuine batteries. You can always go third party as well and I am sure there are plenty of fine choices.-Autofocus: the AF is very fast and reasonably accurate. No complaints in this department.-Flash: the flash itself is average and I never really use it. What is nice however, is the ability to bounce the flash. It really does work in some situations and is a nice compromise to a full flash.-Display modes: Sony has a nice way of showing basic shot info in a black bar at the bottom of the screen during shooting; no overlaying icons on your image. You can see more info but this is a nice, uncluttered way of displaying shutter speed, aperture, EV, and ISO.Cons:-Control ring: the control ring is a great way to change functions and the RX100's ring has a nice weighty resistance but it just takes too long to go through settings. Say you're in aperture priority mode and you want to change from f/1.8 to f/8 you have to sit there turning the ring far too many times. It just isn't sensitive enough. I ended up disabling the ring and just using the control wheel on the back of the camera. I am sure this is something they could change with a firmware/software update in the future.-Macro focusing: at times the camera struggles to focus up close at 28mm even past the minimal distance.-Playback: videos and images are stored in separate folders. This seems like a really awkward way to organize files. Also, when you zoom during playback it defaults to 100% as opposed to starting incrementally from 0% zoom. Small, but these two things really annoy me.-Charging: I buy the argument that in-camera charging is convenient but I would have preferred an external charger so I can charge extra batteries on a trip. This somehow seems like cost cutting on Sony's part and is an unfortunate trend among many cameras these days.-No 24p: not sure why this isn't an option but it would have been nice to have. Again, something I hope they can add later with a firmware/software update.Power saver: some RX100 owners are reporting that their batteries are draining even when the camera is not in use. One hypothesis is that the playback button (which powers on the LCD and not the camera) will get pressed in a pocket or bag and drain the battery. It was also discovered that if the camera detects any movement the power saver feature will not work. This has happened to me one when the camera was in my backpack and I found that the battery had drained overnight. Not the end of the world but potentially frustrating - carry an extra battery!-Price: yes it's hard to criticize the price when no other camera combines this IQ in such a small package but I would have liked this to be priced under $600. I'm sure the price will creep down eventually though.Neutral:-Size: this camera produces amazing images considering the size. That being said, it is a tad too big to fit comfortably in a jeans pocket (at least the front pockets).-I sometimes find myself wishing for a 24mm wide lens instead of

This review is for pro photo/videographers who are buying this as a pocket cam. You will be pleased I think. Using firmware 1.0 for this review.My preferred settings lean toward cinematography where all-manual operation is used most often, and it's cool a pocket camera supports that way of working now. For photographers, there are cool features such as DMF focus (much like autofocus with full time manual override), AEL lock can be set to the center button, etc. They did not dumb down the computer inside this from the Alpha or NEX levels it seems.You can get the Freniec grip when it comes out but I suggest instead a bottom handle for video such as BARSKA Accu Grip Handheld Tripod System (which is too small for larger hands, but is fine for such a light payload) if not one of the cowboy studio plastic shoulder rigs. This will work well on the flycam nano I think. It has optical image stabilization "steadyshot" in concert with digital IS and both crop the image a bit. There are separate SteadyShot settings for stills and video, "Active" is stronger crop factor than "Standard" which would be for more stable situations. It works well enough for me to handhold 1/20th OK for stills and doesn't look bad on video.Tragically, there is no 24p, but there is 60p (or 50p in those countries, can't have both in one body, I figure they are trying to prevent gray market sales with that restriction). The 60p should be shot at 1/60th shutter speed or faster, you will have motion artifacting below that. The problem of course is 1/60th at 60fps looks too clear and smooth to be cinematic, it's video. But "nearest neighbor" rate conforming works OK, and retiming rate conform, to make 40% slo-mo, works fine too, although not a really impressive slo-mo like an FS700 can do. There is no timelapse support and no remote to workaround that with.For creative style, I suggest Standard -3, -3, -3. You could do -2 saturation but you are trading off detail in the reds with rich redness. Dynamic range optimizer you might get away with, it doesn't seem to change much while shooting when not on Auto, and boosts the shadows for a flatter response curve. It does not affect the highlights like Canon's HTP. I like to shoot somewhat flat and push in post so maybe DRO 1 is a good thing. There is a handy meter offset next to the aperture readout that tells you what it thinks you should adjust in EVs, based on the metering mode you have selected.There is a lot of coarse blue noise at ISO 3200. DRO boosts this noise a lot, so I would only use DRO at low ISO if ever. The worst thing for video regarding noise is you can't prevent digital zoom from being available...it is locked on in movie mode, and if you zoom past optical (there is a visual detente but not a practical one really) your noise profile will change (to coarser) and that may defeat your NR profiles you are applying, causing headaches. They should allow the disabling of digital zoom in movie mode, even though in daylight it's good.Macro is available, to the 2 inch point, only at the widest end, which is fine. The minimum focus distance is 18 inches or so full tele. Video AF is usable, manual of course is better, but it's nice for run and gun and the manual control ring turns to Aperture control which is very cool for rapidly controlling exposure. Aperture changes this way are far smoother than on Canons. The plastic, but tough looking lens barrel retracts midway a bit but it always out when on.I suggest a screen protector for the LCD as you want this in your pocket guilt-free, otherwise there is no point. The LCD is good, VGA but bright. You could glue on a cheap magnetic loupe to make it an EVF (and cheesycam is coming out with magnetic CP and ND filters for the lens) I suppose. There is a micro HDMI port on the bottom, immediately next to the tripod mount, which makes it hard to use without a clever 1/4-20 rig, which I found I could do. Worse is the battery and memory compartment cannot be accessed period without unmounting from tripod. Odd restriction.Another odd restriction is all the JPEG-only things can't be done in RAW + JPEG. Why can't I have both an HDR photo and its RAW ingredients? My 5D3 allows this. So if stuff doesn't work it may be a mode restriction. HDR of 6EV range looks more like 3EV range, but it is nicely graded and not like one of those paintings (though that may be one of the picture styles built in).I often prefer Kelvin white balances which this allows (Canon restricts that to pro bodies), though the color shift thing is a bit coarse for fine adjustment on the RX100. It's very easy to set up custom white balance compared to Canons, but for some reason they make you switch to a stills mode to do it. Expose the still properly and aim at a neutral spot. It will apply to movie mode when you switch, automatically.The bokeh is bit wooly especially toward the corners but there is in-camera correction of CA and distortion and the centers are terrific, which is fine. This isn't

I own a Canon 5D mark iii and am a professional shooter. When I want to do personal photo's, I want a smaller camera to carry around that's not DSLR size. I went with the Sony NEX series, thinking this would solve this problem. It did not. I still had to carry around a bag with lenses and the tele lenses were long. The non tele lenses were still too big to put it comfortably in my laptop bag, which goes anywhere I go. I ended up selling the NEX on ebay, as I never used it. I could not justify the near $1700 dollars worth of NEX equipment I had in this small bag. I never felt like bringing it. And the picture quality was good, but not what I expected for having to bring extra lenses.I then went with the Sony RX-100. I needed a compact camera to solve this problem, but I needed one that shoots raw. I am a lightroom user. To my surprise, the images were better than what I assumed they might be. The video was stunning for a compact camera. I love the way the video looks. Although I can't put an ND filter on it, like I did with the nex. I don't really use a compact camera for professional use anyway, so I don't care if the shutter speed jumps a little in daylight in video mode. I realize you can put an ND filter over it, but that ruins it being a compact camera that I can have anywhere. I don't want extra accessories over it. Not even a case. I want to pull it out of my bag and use it.I put a 128GB sd card in it, which is always in it. Incase I see something I want to take video of that ends up lasting a long time. I also carry two 32GB cards in the bag incase the 128GB becomes corrupt. The rest of the SD cards I keep with my Canon 5D as it takes SD and CF cards.I also bought the wall/car charger for it, that came with 3 off brand batteries. These off brand batteries work just as good as the Sony battery that came with it. I can charge in the wall and charge one inside the camera via USB at the same time.If you are a pro shooter, looking for something that you can carry around that shoots raw and produces good images and video. This camera is great.The only con I have with it, is the HDMI port is on the bottom. You can't put it on a tripod and then hook the HDMI cable to it. I wanted this feature because I have an external monitor beside my computer. I wanted to plug it in via HDMI so I could see it recording me and make sure I'm in the frame. But I have to guess if I'm in frame when I'm recording a video of myself doing a tutorial video.The new version of this camera has the HDMI output in the right place. But it cost more, and honestly, for my use it is not worth more than this price. As I will just go to my pro rig when things get too expensive.It's not for people who want to shoot a ton of telephoto. But I am not a telephoto guy most of the time. I shoot a lot of wide angle landscapes and just general video.I recommend this camera. I would not get the mark ii version of this camera, unless you do not have a professional rig and this is your only camera. If this is a second camera, this one does fine. For example, the new version has a hot shoe. I do not want my compact camera to have a hot shoe because the idea is for it to be compact. I don't want to attach accessories onto my compact camera. That is my entire purpose for having a professional camera such as my 5D mark iii.The smaller the better for this case. And this camera is smaller than the NEX, the lens provided is better than the nex lenses, and the video looks better than the nex.

This camera now costs around 400$ which is very similar price to e.g. Canon S120.I expect more and more people will jump in to buy one due to all these remarkable reviews and the price.The very first thing you should know: if a pocketable camera is not a must for you, there are just too many better choice out there. There is plenty of small m43s that can fit a very small waist pouch.To start with some good things: RX100 will give you excellent video and pictures of landscape/buildings on a nice sunny day. It also has an excellent LCD.However, I have other, better, travel cameras. I needed this one for around the house(e.g. kids parties...) and that's where this camera ultimately fails: kids are running around, in and out of shade, sometimes facing the sun on the beach so fill in flash is the must. RX100 has the recycle speed of no less than 5 sec which is on par with... well, nothing is that bad. More importantly, I was hoping that the recycle speed will be faster if the flash compensation is at minimum. And yes, it is faster - in continuous shooting mode it's around 2sec. But if you keep the flash at minimum, and don't shoot in continuous mode (with your finger on the button all the time) , it's still 5sec. An obvious bug in SW that kills this camera.The second bad thing is the mediocre lens. There is a few reviews available elsewhere telling you which focal lengths work well with different apertures. This helps getting good pictures on a nice sunny day where you can clearly see the power of this sensor. However, as soon as you are close to the zoom end, or your subject is in the shade, forget about it - the picture quality is so inconsistent that really nothing helps. In fact, I have never seen a good picture coming out of this camera (had two) on the zoom end.The are also many other small quirks - no iso limit, no shutter speed limit (two features every enthusiast camera has for ages...). Also, you must rotate the lens ring some 10 times to go through all the focus range. Ridiculous...This would be a 2 star camera for me especially because the manufacturer is an electronics company which only cares about good marketing, not making some good photo equipment (at least in this range, including nex cameras where they offer the worst collapsible zoom kit lens, probably worth 20$, which they then sell with something powerful like nex6). Sony simply knows that the average Joe will fall for the small size and an excellent sensor so the lens can be a pure crap.However, I give this camera 3 stars since Panasonic, Olympus and especially Fuji don't offer anything pocketable. Fuji XQ1 is something I waited for for months just to realize they failed in their attempt to copy Sony - mediocre lens and poor battery life just because they wanted to fit it into a very small body.

I won't overcook the review, because of the many comprehensive and excellent reviews already posted. Just a couple of hints to use this incredible little camera.1. Get a grip! This little puppy has a small gripping surface on the right, and may suddenly squirt out of your hand. Richard Franiec has a grip for sale on Amazon. It's metal and looks very well designed. Costly, though at about $40.00. I got a silicone grip on eBay for $21.00 it works great. It uses 3M stickon like the stuff that holds your auto badges on. I think a grip is a must. Amazon also sells a "flipbac grip" for about $10.00, and this appears almost identical to the one I ordered, but less costly. Should work fine.For those of you like me, who shoot mostly at aperture priority, here's a couple of things to save you time when setting up your camera especially for low light work without flash.2. With the aperture priority setting, the rings, front and back, work the same and control aperture (when set to aperature). As you adjust the aperture, the speed follows to maintain the EV (exposure value). You can use either ring to adjust aperture; I prefer the rear one.At the bottom right of the LCD, aperture and speed are displayed. After you set your aperture for desired depth of field and/or light conditions, note the speed. If it is less than 1/8th sec, you'll need to up the iso. The camera's anti vibration system will give you a couple of stops, but, of course, won't stop artifacts from subject motion.Now how to set the function button to complete the scenario; Here's how mine is set.In the setup menu, under number 2 of the gear icon find the function setting. You have 7 functions to program optionally. I used 3. Set number 1 for iso, number 2 for white balance and number 3 for HDR to control shadows. When you press function the choices are displayed at the bottom of the LCD and selected by the rocker. Changes within each function are controlled by front or rear rings.Ready to take a picture: Set your aperture for desired depth of field using ring or wheel.a. Check aperture and speed at bottom right of LCD, If the speed is too low for a clear shot, press function and select ISO at the bottom of the LCD with the rocker. Increase ISO with the ring or rocker wheel till you get adequate speed for your aperture setting. With a large sensor at work, there is very little degradation below iso 1600. Once you press the function button, the front or rear wheels now control function button settings that are displayed at the bottom of the LCD. So rock to the desired function and ring to adjust within that function.b. Then select the white balance icon. If the screen does not look realistic, you can set it to one of the many temperature options. If none work out, use "custom". Then press the lower rocker to get the custom white balance grid and adjust accordingly with the rocker button. It's nice that the screen changes to reflect how adjustments will effect the shot.c. Last, if you want to exaggerate (or minimize) either contrast or shadows, select HDR and you'll get the HDR screen to allow more or less averaging of subject/background illumination. Very helpful for brightly lit subjects with dark backgrounds or vise verse. The camera will take 3 rapid shots, so be steady. Works well without a tripod, though if you set your ISO up enough.There are lots of other functions to select for your 7 slots such as picture effects, size, orientation, aspect ratio, exposure and flash compensation. If you use a function regularly, set it up and it'll be available at the bottom of the LCD when you press the function button.That's it. I found I could take pretty good low light shots with just these settings on aperture priority, getting depth of field and low light control within the understandable limitations of a camera having the RX100's focal length. It also has shutter priority, 3 memory programmable scenarios, and a fun to use panorama function as well. If depth of field is not an issue for outside shots, just use one of the auto settings. They work great, and the pictures have excellent depth and vibrancy in natural light.

I bought it to "replace" my Nikon D90: I need a really small camera to go with me on my hiking trips, which I found even a D90 with a 24-120mm VR is too heavy for me. Originally I was considering Fuji X10, but delayed my purchase because of the WDS issue and eventually buying RX100 instead.In short form:Pros -Solid build in compact form factor, and lightVery good wide angel performance"Manually adjustable" flashReasonable ISO performance at its size (1600)Cons -Becomes f/2 after going up just 1mm in focal lengthLacking in telephoto performance: wanted f/4 instead of f/4.9 (2/3 f-stop faster)Want faster boot and shutdown timeToo many pixels: lower pixel count may boost "usable" ISO to 3200, higher FPS etc.No GPS / no way to use cell phone as a GPSIn long form:The camera itself is very small, really small enough to fit in my pockets. However, most of the time it will come with me in my bag instead. Since it tightly fits in my pocket now, I don't expect it to fit in my pocket when I get the leather case which comes with the camera a month later (out of stock for now). I had also considered buying m4/3 and NEX, but what's the point? GF5, for instance, is 362g with the 14-42mm X lens (f/3.5-5.6) attached while RX100 is 240g. Comparing the two using equivalent aperture of 35mm (full frame), at the wide end RX100 is around 1-stop faster (f/4.9 vs f/7), while at 84mm RX100 is less than 1/3 f-stop slower (f/11.2 vs f/12.25). I do not and cannot own all different kinds of cameras for testing, but according to what I see from review sites taking sample photos of the SAME object, I will say that GF5 with the kit 14-24mm X lens produces picture very close to but not as sharp as RX100, particularly at ISO 1600 and onward.RX100's boot and shutdown is around 3 seconds each. Wide angle at 28mm f/1.8 is really amazing, especially that it also have pretty short minimum focus range (roughly 10cm). Telephoto, on the other hand, is a bit weaker at 100mm f/4.9 with a not so great minimum focus range of around 60cm (rough measurement again). Even though the camera is having f/1.8 as the fastest aperture, it goes up very quickly to f/2.0 when the focal length just go up 1mm from the widest; However, it keeps itself in f/4 until going pass 66mm, which is fine and is much better than many lenses already. The picture quality is very good (bokeh is pretty nice), and I see its "usable" high ISO is 1600, which is prefect for outdoor activities but a bit lacking for indoors. I must admit that I am fascinated by the fact that the lens used in RX100 is "Carl Zeiss" : not really produced by Zeiss I know, but at least they are "involved", and I am sold by the T* coating. Perhaps that's also why it performs better as I'd mentioned above?The flash can be tilted up manually as a bounce fill-in flash, though I have to go through the menu instead of using a shortcut button to activate the flash. This is also a very important feature for me to choose it over Fuji X10. With the 4GB card installed, the camera reports that it has capacity to store around 160 photos in RAW and JPEG (small). I generally shot my photos in RAW for archive but upload JPEG to Facebook directly instead of using LR4 to convert and upload, hence my settings preference. I have no idea about its battery performance, but it should be adequate for one-day use in my case. The camera takes Micro USB for charging and comes with a 1.5A@5V USB charger, and it seems that I can charge it by my computer. However, computer USB port generally supplies 500mA at most, which is 3 times lower than the charger, so I don't think it is a good way to recharge the camera. Yet, using Micro USB, it means I can also use a more generic "portable battery" that works for many devices instead of buying a spare battery, though it may seems more bulky. Perhaps the only missing feature I also wanted is GPS, or the ability to use cell phone as a GPS device. I want Geotagging!

This is being touted as one of the best ever pocket cameras, with a big sensor and high megapixel count. It has more features than I could use in a lifetime and will probably do anything most people would ever need or want to do.However, it has no optical viewfinder, just the digital screen, and I cannot see it well enough to compose photos outdoors. I knew there was no OVF, but a respected reviewer for a major newspaper swore that it was easy to see in bright sun. Maybe for him; not for me.After using the camera at an outdoor music festival over one weekend, I packed it up and sent it back.The technical aspects of this item have been well-covered by other reviewers, so I'll just mention a few things I liked and didn't like.GOOD:I really liked the USB cable that plugs into a PC or an electrical plug - this seems to be standard with electronics now (my iPad and cell phone both have this feature). Some people have objected to having to charge the battery in the camera, but I did not find this to be a problem.I also liked the ability to directly transfer photos to the PC. I have three card readers, none of which work 100%.This is truly a pocket camera, very small, but very solid and heavier than you would expect from its size.There are many other features that I would have used and no doubt liked if I had kept it.Pictures were good, but not better than the DSLR I've been using. Due to my inability to compose, the subject was cut off on the side of some shots and virtually all shots were off level.BAD:No optical viewfinder.Shutter is VERY sensitive. Pushing half-way down to focus was difficult, since "half-way" seemed to me about 1/16 of an inch. The shutter went off as soon as I touched it a number of times.The camera has two "hooks" on either side for a wrist strap, which can also be connected to a neck strap. They are tiny, and I could not attach the strap, and of course, the instructions don't cover this since Sony probably assumes it's "obvious." This is not minor, since this camera begs to be dropped, and its shape, like a small, smooth brick, provides nothing to help with the grip.The flash location is terrible - on the top left where I put my finger to try to hold the camera. You have to learn to move that finger to the back, which means touching the view screen.You can't delete the pictures from the SD card from within the PC (there's a "delete all" option in the camera's seemingly endless menu). Not a big deal, but an extra step.The mode dial, on the top right, seemed to turn too easily. A couple of times it got turned in the process of taking the camera out of my pocket.Transferred photos were saved as read only files; I had to go into Properties to change this before I could save pictures modified in PhotoShop.Bottom line: Test this camera in a store before buying.UPDATES 9/24/12I wanted to mention one more thing that I really liked about this camera - it produces very large .JPG files, around 5 Mb. This allows one to do extreme cropping and still have a great quality photo. I took a horizontal photo of a man on stage, showing the full, mostly empty stage. I cropped it to a vertical image of just the man; still looks great. This is about 1/4 of the total original image, reduced to 1000 pixels high: [...].Clarification: There is no neck strap; there are two adapters that connect to an optional neck strap and also serve as a wrist strap. Could not attach these adapters.What I bought instead: Nikon Coolpix P7100. Has lots of the same features, costs less, and the view monitor was easier to see outdoors. I'll review it under that product after using it a while.

I had originally been waiting for NEX-5R's release but, after (too much) pondering, ended up buying the RX100 two days before the former's announcement. Did not regret the decision even the slightest. Aside from all those technical wonders mentioned by the 100 positive reviews before me, here is why the little camera did it for me:1. Easy auto modes - I'm not a photographer or even an enthusiast, but I like to see whatever photo I take come out good (in this camera's case, exceptional) with the least amount of fidgeting.2. Compact - Knowing myself, I would probably consider even the NEX too cumbersome to take around which would end up collecting dust. This camera fits in my pants pocket, though it does leave a pretty big bulge once in there.3. Sensitive - For a point and shoot, the low light performance is just crazy good. It's perfect to catch my active three-year-old even in nighttime events. No, really, I mean it. Crazy good (though within reason).4. Video - 1080P 60 FPS video is almost as good in low light as the camera is when taking pictures. I took videos of fireworks with smooth, clear results. Also, while recording your video, you can zoom in/out *and* take 17 mpix stills at the same time!5. Ease of manual focus - Auto focus, while fast, sometimes doesn't get the right spots. The ring at the front for manual focus does a phenomenal job with peaking. Though I sometimes wish the camera would read my mind on what I would like to focus on so I can always catch those spontaneous moments... One can dream, right? ;) *Update Sep 14 - DMF focus mode + Center focus area work almost 100% of the time for me now.6. Flash - I never had a habit of using the flash because I had always thought they felt more detrimental to the picture with than without. The flash on this camera can be tilted to shoot at the ceiling and give a more natural feel while used indoors. It makes the flash on this camera a pleasure to use.As for all those complaints about RAW conversion and stuff - it doesn't matter to me as I'm perfectly content with the JPEG pictures.That said, what I don't really like are:1. Probably my own problem since my hands sweat so much, but it's really easy to leave nasty fingerprint smudges on the metal chassis.2. That USB cover is really flimsy-feeling and I fear for its longevity.3. No flip screen makes self-photos hard, which I like to take.4. Processing time after taking each photo is a little too long for my liking. Has occasionally costed me the opportunity to take another shot right after the first one. This is from ONLY using auto and scene modes. I haven't tried more manual modes yet so that may be better as I learn more about the little thing. *Update Sep 14 - Learned that manual modes that don't require heavy image processing save pictures almost instantaneously. Check comments for details.I also purchased CaseLogic TBC-302 and JOBY GorillaPod Micro 250. With the latter placed in the former's front pocket, the camera fits the case well, although you do need to take care when zipping up the case. Some may fear the zipper may accidentally scratch the chassis, but in my few days of use it has not left a single noticeable mark.Anyway, I know a lot of people say "this is a camera for photographers to have as a second camera to their DSLR," but I would also strongly recommend this camera to those like me, who don't own a DSLR but like to easily take amazing photos anywhere, anytime (and don't mind the price tag).

I have been using the Sony RX100 since September 6 & am just now downloading photos into newly released Adobe LightRoom 4.2. I must say, although I have truly enjoyed using the Sony RX100 these past four weeks, I am blown away by the extraordinary quality that comes out of such a small package that I can carry around with me all of the time.IN USE.First up, you must sport the elegant Gariz half case for this camera. Looks really cool, and also makes it easier to handle the camera. Plus, it puts the tripod mount closer to the center of the lens.Properly armed with the Gariz case and the included wrist band, I then proceed to turn off all noise, and I mean ALL of it. My RX100 is absolutely and utterly silent thru picture taking. No focus beeps, no shutter noise, nothing. A small camera that fits in the palm of your hand and is completely silent.After silencing the beast within, I proceed to set up the function menus. I can tailor these buttons to my needs significantly better than I could on my old NEX 5n. About 98% of my picture taking is accessible within one push of one button. Great menu and setup.In picture taking, it's lightning fast. Seems like it handles whatever I want to do, and quite admirably. I can really only think of one detail I would like to see improved in a future model: Wider angle lens -- 22.5mm, 24mm, something like that. Otherwise, it's an extraordinary package for snapshots, adding fairly comprehensive handling of landscapes, architecture, and portraiture as well.IMAGE QUALITY.For the past hour, I have been looking over my first 393 photos imported into Adobe LightRoom 4.2 for conversion to DNG & post processing. I am overwhelmed by the detail! I live on a cliff overlooking a fairly large lake, so I've got nice stretches of open space, from distances of about ten feet, all the way out to several miles away -- the volcanoes across the lake. The depth of field is lovely! Captures these lake-scapes in stunning detail.What the camera does and does not do.This is my second camera; my first is a Panasonic G3 with a curious assortment of native and adapted lenses. The Sony RX100 does NOT replace my wonderful Panasonic, nor do I expect it to. Although I am perfectly equipped to take snapshots with my Panasonic, I certainly prefer the RX100 for this type of town and/or country, walk-around photography.If, however, I wanted to photograph landscapes, I would pack the Panasonic with ultra wide lens, though I might put the Sony in my pocket as well, just for backup. Similarly, if I wanted portraits or other types of pictures with a dreamy sort of out of focus background, I would grab my Panasonic with the appropriate manual focus, fast prime, legacy lens. For architecture, I think I could use either camera & be happy with the results -- would probably just put the Sony in my pocket and go!CONCLUSION.If this is your only camera, I think you are in great shape photographically. If your budget or interest allow you this much, you'll be more than satisfied with the results, more so than with any other compact camera, and perhaps even more than anything in the sub-$1000 range of changeable lens cameras.If this is your second camera, the Sony RX100 is a totally compelling reason to have an excellent camera with you at all times, particularly while your main camera is resting or off-duty.

For the past few years I've been shooting photos with my iPhone and my Nikon D40. Mostly with my iPhone. Not because it takes better photos than my DSLR, but because it was always with me. In my pocket, and ready to shoot anything.The bummer always comes when you realize that the iPhone isn't good enough to capture almost everything you encounter in life. A DSLR can cover a lot of the bases, but it's a bit impractical (speaking only for myself) to carry around all the time.While Nikon and Canon have been resting on their laurels, and Leica and Fujifilm have been focusing on how to make cameras more expensive - Sony decided to show up this year and drop the most magical camera I've ever had the pleasure of using.I'm seriously blown away by the performance of this camera. The build quality is great too. The camera is hefty, yet perfectly weighted. It has a black all-aluminum body that feels really solid and you can tell that some folks at Sony really cared about the product they were making.When I was using it yesterday, I felt like I was cheating. Like the camera was too easy and wasn't challenging me at all. It's so incredibly effortless to capture beautiful photos with it. It's sharp as a god damn tack and it's color capturing is close to perfect.Sony was able to squeeze a 1" sensor into this thing, along with an amazing Zeiss lens, a great processor, and really excellent software. The large-diameter 1.8 lens allows for the really gorgeous defocusing in the background, but I'm still floored by how small this thing is. I really only thought that huge lenses and big cameras could produce results like that. It even has a control ring on the lens that perfectly emulates zooming with a DSLR. Even better - you can use the control ring for a variety of other manual things like ISO and stop adjustment.I'm no expert on photography, or even the types of specifications that make a camera wonderful. Which makes using the Sony RX100 for me such a magical experience. Using it feels intrinsic and it's something I feel like I can take with me everywhere. When I was pricing cameras in this range I initially wanted a CanonS100 which had been the choice if you wanted a great compact camera, but now that the Sony RX100 is in town, the S100 and even the new S110 have been rendered almost irrelevant by Sony's camera.The $649 that this camera will set you back, seems absurd given that you could buy a DSLR for around the price, but this thing is small.This is the camera of my dreams - the one in which I'm never without a great camera when something wonderful needs capturing.Sony really was firing on all cylinders when they were designing this camera. I wish it the best of successes on the market, and I think it would be perfect for folks who want a DSLR for the photo quality, but perhaps aren't really that crazy about photography - just great photos.Plus it's so pocketable. It's really spectacular.The Sony RX100 is a true turning point for me when it comes to taking photos. The times I've been resistive of taking my camera somewhere because it's too big are a thing of the past.Highly recommended.

If you are serious about photography, don't even consider buying this camera. There's a lot of marketing around, but the reality is it's just an advanced P&S. Don't expect it will be on par with DSLR or mirrorless cameras. I made a huge mistake when ordered RX100. This was a present for my wife. After reading the reviews and specs there was an impression that in good light conditions it's possible to get IQ similar to IQ of my old NEX5. Not even close! Too many things is wrong with this camera. Poor lens with huge barrel distortion, inaccurate autofocus (very fast though), mediocre AWB, terrible image artifacts even for small ISOs, poor JPEG quality (use RAW instead), too many megapixels for this sensor size, no grip. And you get all this for more than $500. I see only too objective pros: compactness and unusually large sensor for this type of camera. Are these big advantages? It's questionable. RX100 is not much smaller than, say, NEX 3N with a pancake lens. Big sensor should result in a good IQ. To my taste the IQ is not impressive at all. The sensor definitely has a potential, but IQ also depends on the quality of lens and on how you process the data and it seems like these two parts are screwed.I am very disappointed after all. I am returning the camera and ordering NEX 3N with the pancake zoom instead for $350. Yes, I know this is probably the worst e-mount lens, but honestly I don't see any other options taking into account the need for something really compact.

My goal coming from the Canon s95, was to find a higher quality camera that's still pocketable. I considered an m43 and the NEX line as they're obvious quality upgrades. But the size of those cams with lens takes them out of the pocketable category. In short, the RX100 is basically the same size as the s95, but leaps and bounds ahead in terms of both picture and video quality. While the s95 did great on sunny outdoor pics, it was questionable in low light indoor situations. The RX100 solves that problem. Low light, no flash, it eats that up. With flash it's simply amazing. It's a more powerful flash than the s95 also and both the power and flash direction can be adjusted. In auto mode, it's quick and pretty accurate. It also allows you to make quick adjustments even in auto mode. In manual mode, it seems like everything can be tweaked. I'm no pro, but I felt like one with this camera.Video is amazing. It's actually as good as my higher end consumer camcorder, especially when shooting outdoors. Still great indoors, but color is slightly saturated in auto mode. That can be fixed if you use manual mode or in post with software. That said, at 60fps full HD is silky smooth.One caveat I learned the hard way is it can over heat when video recording. 4 hrs outside in 99 degree sunny weather, I shot around 150 pics, mostly without flash and 12 mins of video clips. I saw the "temperature" icon appear. It still let me take pictures however, but not with flash. The icon disappeared after a minute or so and I could still take short videos. None of the clips were more than 2 mins in length. I've done 5 min clips before without problems so I have to assume it was the extreme weather that caused it to balk.Heat concerns aside, I'm glad I chose the RX100. The quality for both pics and video is as good as pro reviews say it is. Better than any P&S I've seen before, but yet still pocketable. It's not cheap, but it's worth the price once you see the results.

Elegant casing, decent lens, crazy proliferation of settings and gimmicks, any one of which can be triggered accidentally if your hand brushes against an exposed control. "Illustration" allows you to turn your photographs into crude sketches. I cannot imagine one person in a thousand wanting to do this, but I turned it on without realizing and three days worth of shots were wasted. I discovered the mistake only when I loaded the images into my computer. Another mis-touch caused the flash to pop up in bright sunlight. I wanted a portable alternative to my Canon EOS5 (which is the simplest device to use but bulky and heavy). I wanted a good-quality point and shoot and got a headache instead. Sony should redesign the camera so that you can lock in preferred settings and disable those you don't want to use.

I use this camera for research documentation as well as travel imagery, and it has quickly replaced all others as my go-to camera for both of these purposes.Since there are so many other reviews of this camera, I'll get very specific about the exact settings and features that mean the most to me...+fast lens + big sensor = the best compact yet for low ambient light shooting. Often my research subjects are in motion indoors in poor light, and the RX100 gets more successful shots under these conditions than any other camera I've used to date.+Program mode with spot/center focus set + facial recognition OFF = best way to get subject of interest in focus under range of conditions. Many times I need a shot of a person's facial expression one moment, and the next a shot of an object they are holding or working with. This combination of settings is best for these situations, so that the camera does not FORCE focus onto a face unless you really want it there.+Flexible, fast, continuous shooting. Sony has two speed options, and the continuous mode, while not as fast as a DSLR or higher end mirrorless camera, is still plenty fast enough to cover most fleeting facial expressions or object movements.+Fully pocketable in size means it with me when I want or need it much more often, and is much less obtrusive in research situations than an interchangeable lens camera.+Tough! Have already dropped it several times with no ill effects, thank goodness! This camera has to perform under tough field conditions, and so far, so good!I have owned MANY digital cameras for work and play, and this is my overall favorite! My Olympus OMD EM5 handles the needs for scenarios where lenses beyond the short zoom on the RX100 are needed (ultra wide angle, longer zooms, fast super sharp primes, unique depth of field requirements), and I really have fun with the OMD when time allows and I want to be a little more involved in the photographic process, but otherwise, the RX100 does all the work and most of the play!Highly recommended!

Why do I say that Sony is not....It use to be when you bought a camera you would get a complete printed manual. Well we've gotten use to the manual on a PDF on a CD. Sony decided you don't need a full printed manual, and don't need a CD. So you go to the web site, and you will find a manual which you can "view". But there is no PDF of a full manual which you can Download. They do include a 31 page mini manual. I don't find this very helpful or thoughtful to customers...especially since the RX100 is full of features, many of which are not intuitive.Some examples: "Clear Image Zoom" - this is apparently intuitive to the user! Turn it on, and you will have enabled digital zoom, even though you have digital zoom turned off. This has the effect of disabling certain functions such as metering mode, and the Autofocus seletion square.Auto Port. Framing...could use a better explanation;What is the difference between "Long Exposure NR" and "High ISO NR" --- I think I can guess on this one. But an explanation would be useful.Peaking Level ...even after reading the mini-manual one liner on what this is, I have no idea. But once you figure it out, then move on to "Peaking Color" and figure that out.I couldn't find a Macro setting, other than in the scene mode. But it didn't seem to give you any more Macro than if you just use Program Mode. So not sure what the purpose of Macro Scene Mode is.I have focused this review on the points in the camera where Sony has fallen short...which could all be cured by a readily available Full Manual. The camera itself is wonderful.* Excellent lens; lens is very fast, F/1.8, when shooting wide. As you zoom, it quickly moves to 2.8, 3.2 and when fully extended is at F4.9.* Very small, and pocketable form factor. Not quite as small as the Canon S100/S95, but still easily fits in your pocket;* Program mode is fantastic. You can turn the front ring and change the corresponding Aperture and Shutter speeds...and see the whole thing visually on the LCD screen as you do it...Very very nice.* Front lens cover is built in, and automatically opens and retracts.* Lots of automated in camera process controls...many people like this. I'm not a big fan as too many times it disables certain other controls that disappear unexpectedly. I recommend disabling (turning off all the automatic doo-dads like digital zoom, clear image zoom, Face Priority Tracking, picture effect)I recommend enabling the following: * Grid Line rule of 3rds * Steady Shot * Focus Mode to Single shot AF, Autofocus Area set at Center * Control Ring = Standard * Control Ring Display = On * Function 1= Metering Mode; Function 2= Creative Style or ISO; Function 3- Creative Style or ISO; Function 4 - DRO/Auto HDR; Function 5 = White Balance (this is all a matter of your personal preferences of course) * Func of Center Button = StandardYou'll enjoy the camera...Sony could have made it more enjoyable by giving you some way to download the complete manual.

with this camera, I'm getting a big head! I wanted a point-and-shoot and I got so much more than that. I really haven't used any other setting than intelligent auto and I love the photos I am taking. It's still a new purchase and I have to play a whole bunch more but even if I don't, I am extremely happy with this wonderful piece of technology. It is a bit pricey but so, so, so worth it. Plus, it does take RAW photos, which I wanted, too. Like I said, I am not a photographer (not even close!) but I do love to take pictures of stuff. With this camera, I am getting some very sweet results. (Still have to learn to use the RAW images, however!)

I love this camera, best camera I have ever owned. It takes great pictures. I use it on automatic mostly and I find, for me, it is easy to use. I bought this camera not too long before the newer version came out. For my needs, this one is perfect. I don't find that the newer features would really benefit me. I want a camera that takes super great pictures on automatic or be able to have many options available to use it in the manual mode, be lightweight and small enough to put in a pocket and this sure meets all of my needs. I did a lot of research and considered the mirrorless cameras and also the big dslr cameras. I knew that I would get tired of the bulkiness of both of those types. I like something that is easy to take with me. When I found this camera, I knew this one would be perfect for me and I have not been let down. I love it! Perfect camera!

If you intend to use this camera in tropical or sub-tropical conditions, which can easily occur in summer almost anywhere other than the poles, beware. Should you walk around outside in hot humid conditions, then step into an air-conditioned space like a restaurant or your hotel - or home - moisture is likely to condense inside the camera. Do this several times daily and before long the camera can fail and the failure will not be covered under warranty. My new RX-100 lasted two months in SE Asia and went completely dead. It was never dropped, exposed to rain or in any way "abused." An authorized Sony repair shop here in Thailand where I bought it has quoted $220 to repair the camera because it was "broken by water." And guess what? As soon as it is working, it will be vulnerable to the exact same failure again.Note that moving from time spent in the cold into a hot environment would tend to cause condensation on the outside surface of a hollow object that had reached thermal equilibrium at the lower temperature. There are temperature/humidity specifics that determine whether or not condensation will actually occur.Sony knows there is a potential problem with the camera because they briefly mention cold, heat and humidity in the user manual. (There are manufacturing techniques that would essentially eliminate this issue but would probably increase the camera price beyond a viable sale point.) They do NOT say how the user is supposed to know harmful condensation has occurred inside the camera body (not the lens), or how to avoid the problem recurring, nor do they provide anything really more than a vague warning. My lens did not fail, the electronics did. Clearly this should be a listed concern, but there is nothing of practical value Sony can say about it beyond worrying the new owner. And, obviously, they will not mention this topic in their marketing materials.So, depending upon where you intend to use the camera, be advised high humidity and warm operating conditions can lead to expensive, out-of-warranty failure. If these conditions are not a concern for you, then worry not and you will probably enjoy owning and using the RX-100.

You cannot get a better point and shoot camera. this camera handles high iso's like no other point and shoot. Low light pictures look good blown up or printed. It has good range. It also has numerous creative settings that can keep you busy for a long while. It also has an amazing video stabilization that will shock you. I carry this camera around when I am not carrying my $7000 professional DSLR around. My 1st one got stolen out of my truck and I bought a 2nd one soon after. I couldn't function the same without it.

Over the past few years I've used a number of cameras including Canon S90 & S100, Olympus XZ-1 and Canon T2i (DSLR). I am also an avid user of Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera system. Sony RX100 is by far the most joy and fun to use camera I've tried. The image quality not only rivals some DSLRs it is in many instances BETTER unless you start adding high quality and very expensive lenses.Pros:- Easily pocketable (both shirt and front jeans pockets).- Superb image quality: very sharp and bright images in any light with pleasing, vibrant color. Skin tones are excellent even under indoor lighting- Very fast AF even in complete darkness- Reliable full Auto mode (iA), great family camera for everyone to use: just point & shoot in any conditions and 99% you'll get perfectly sharp and bright picture- Surprisingly good built-in flash which can be bounced for more natural result (make sure to bump up ISO)- ISO3200 looks very sharp and completely noise-free on 1080p HDTV (normal viewing size)- Fantastic LCD, clearly visible even in bright California sun especially with "Sunny mode" on- 10fps burst mode- Outstanding video quality (60P): smooth and fast AF during video, very effective stabilization, superb clarity even in very low light as seen on HDTV. IMO, Video quality is much better than most dedicated camcorders which typically feature small sensors and small apertures with poor dynamic range and poor low light performance not to mention mediocre color gradations and tonality.- A lot of very useful features many of which I use on a daily basis: Auto HDR, Multi-frame noise reduction (ISO6400 looks fantastic!), fun picture effects, etc.- Solid metal build quality, made in JapanCons (really just nit-picking):- no touchscreen- flash must be activated via menu (no physical switch)- 1/2000s max shutter speed- price, although fully justified, still seems a but high for a pocket camI've been using RX100 for almost a month now and it's become my main camera. Not only it's easy to carry in a pocket and fun to use, the resulting images for most uses (social and travel pics) are actually better than many DSLRs (always sufficient depth of field, precise focus, sufficient shutter speed, reliable stabilization plus versatility of high quality video). I especially recommend this cam for non-enthusiasts who just want P&S and not fiddle with the settings cause RX100 has such reliable full Auto mode coupled with large sensor and aperture virtually guaranteeing clean images in any light without adjusting setting or using flash all the time.

The concept is simple; a very small camera with a large sensor. Compact System Cameras like the PEN series from Olympus were the first big step in this direction. However, the Sony RX100 takes this to a level never seen before.This camera is really small; about the size of the Canon s90/s95/s100 series (and smaller than other premium compact cameras like the Panasonic LX5) with a sensor size never previously seen in a pocket-sized camera. In addition, the lens at wide angle (28mm equivalent) has a maximum aperture of f/1.8This camera takes excellent photographs under almost all lighting conditions. The automatic white balance does a better job than any other camera in this price range. Exposure and metering are also very good even outdoors under highly contrasted conditions. The AF is quick but does get it wrong once in a while under dim lighting conditions. The picture quality rivals good entry level DSLR cameras even at higher ISO settings. Photographs taken at ISO 1600 are noise free and cleaner than photographs taken with any other pocket camera at ISO 400. Close examination reveals some loss of detail at higher ISO settings presumably from some type of noise reduction being applied.Obviously the small size of the camera imposes physical constraints on the inclusion of dedicated buttons and the size of included controls when compared to a larger camera. Many of the buttons may be customized. However, the portability/photograph quality combination is unmatched by any other camera ever sold.THE LCD screen is very bright and sharp. The screen in default view displays al of the key settings (albeit rather small). An optical viewfinder would have been a welcome inclusion like the Canon G series (and the Nikon P7xxx series) as the LCD is difficult to see in sunlight.The flash is a little weak (and there is no hot shoe for an external flash). However, the flash is movable and can be positioned with your thumb to create a "bounce" effect like most external flash units for a much nicer flash effect. Again, the flash output is weak and the bounce weakens it even more so 'bouncing' the flash is really only practical at wide angle where the aperture is very wide.Why only 4 stars? The price is simply too high for a compact camera (and Sony is old school; they do not let resellers discount the list price) especially one with disappointing build quality and no instruction guide (not even on CD) or software for Raw conversion or even a battery charger (the battery can be charged while it is inside the camera). But if you want the best small camera money can buy, there is no competition.

This camera has an amazing sensor: the resolution and dynamic range are absolutely incredible for a camera of this size. Sony also managed to make a very convincing lens: the zoom range is very useful, the lens is also fast at the wide end. The lens is slow at the telephoto end but this allows to keep the size of the camera truly pocket-able - a very important feature. The lens maybe a tad soft in the corners at some settings, but it is not something that is very obvious, and the subjective quality of the photos is very good. Optical stabilization is good for photo and ok for video.The camera is capable of shooting 1080p video at 60fps. Full manual controls and various color/contrast settings are available in video mode. The video quality is great in terms of color and noise. The resolution is a bit low though. There is noticeable moire on regular structures and thin lines, but no color moire.My strongest complaint about this camera (perhaps, the only complaint) is the user interface. It may be logical for someone, but I find it very unintuitive and slow, it takes a lot of time for me to access important functions.I would say that this is a camera which is capable of delivering absolutely fantastic results in terms of image quality (not in the same league with the best DSLRs but way better than any other compact camera). The camera has a reliable auto mode. All the manual controls are available, but it may be a slow and frustrating process to use them. If you rely on auto mode when shooting, then the camera will feel great, but if you would like to have comfortable manual controls I would look elsewhere.

Великолепно
I've had this camera for a month now and shot around 800 pictures with it (mostly nature; beaches, docks, parks, the zoo, Miami Seaquarium) and I'm still very shocked at the outrageous image quality and video quality! At 47 years old I had my first camera at around 7 years old and always loved photography so I've had many many cameras. I sold my Canon 40D and lens after buying this camera because the image quality is considerably BETTER than the Canon 40D.I still have the dslr itch so I'll probably now get the Nikon d7100 which is supposed to have considerably better image quality than this RX100 (hard to imagine better image quality than this) Sony makes an EXCELLENT sensor! Nikons are said to have Sony sensors inside. From the moment I picked this camera up to shoot all buttons and settings were easy to use.I felt like I had shot with this RX100 for a long time and I felt motivated and it felt fun to use. The speed also beats other point and shoots and no noise at all while shooting. Very quick and responsive. I would recommend this to anyone and this camera will set a new very high standard for this size camera and probably for dslr's also since they now should exceed this quality to merit their size and higher price. You will definitely not regret this purchase even though high for what you THINK is a mere point and shoot camera. Wait till you see your first crystal clear image come out of this little black box! Wonderful bokeh, f/1.8, no distortions.Update: Forgot to say the Sony Software is a great conributor to these very high quality RX100 images. Upon opening the raw software it automatically has the auto settings to create a perfect image as it loads the image. It's quick also and links to whatever other photo editor you might have. To be honest, better and simpler to use than Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP.)
