Doesn't the title say it all? It is, what it is. If you are looking for the best pocket size camera with near DSLR image quality, look no further.I was looking for a new, go anywhere, do anything camera. Started with the tried and true Canon, but the G1X was too expensive, too slow in performance, and above all, way too big. Also considered the Canon S100 and was almost sold on it, but after the recent Canon recall for the S100 due to the ongoing lens error, thought it was best to stay clear of it. Beyond that, no other manufacturer offered a pocket size camera with such a huge sensor.If you are looking for a new camera I definitely recommend this camera. Given the pocket size, you are more likely to use it and always have it with you...that is the purpose of a camera. Something to take with you, not having to lug around and distract from your event.But don't take my word for it, see what the expert reviewers have to say: (...)

I buy almost everything from Amazon.com but this is only my 2nd review on particular product. I am extremely happy that I decided to buy Sony rx 100. It wasn't easy to finalize the winner among all other competitors. Especially this camera is the one of the most expensive out there. However, This is what you can expect from this camera and this is what happened to me after 2 days use.1. You will see your beloved ones big happy smile when you share the precious moment that you captured with this camera because it looks so real and so clear!2. You will think of buying all protective gears because you want to use this camera as long as possibleSimply put, you will not need any other cameras including DSLR or SLR since rx 100 will be the only one that you need to and want to carry all the time!Great Great Job sony! I really appreciate this!

Beats carrying around a great big digital camera. Nice small camera. Takes great pictures and super videos in HD. It even knows what the shooting situation is, IE night shot. Rather pricey, but worth it. Picture quality printouts is outstanding. I have a Nikon D50, but it's so big.

1. Other Sony cameras had the battery life left indicated in minutes, not bars so one could know accurately when to change it.2. the camera is too hard to grip, making a wrist strap and 2 hands mandatory. Google 'camera grip for Sony RX100' for a solution.3. Lack of a manual (except on-line,) even on a CD, hides the versatility and depth of the camera's ability.4. For close-ups, the large sensor and longer lens that goes with it work against you, but they give you better cropping ability on normal scenes at higher image sizes (20mb.)Otherwise, a nice piece of hardware and software, my 1st choice to take with me (vs. my 2 other Sony's- an R-1 and an HX-9V.)

a great P&S camera but I returned it and bought nex 5n instead. don't be surprised, as the matter of fact both cameras cost about the same price. nex5n is much much better camera compared to rx-100.

This is a great camera. It is suprisingly small with the lens retracted. It has many features that I haven't used yet but one of the picture enhancements is "Illustration." I took a picture of our vet's cat and Illiustration drew black lines around her whiskers, eyes, eyeballs, etc. It makes a very interesting picture. This camera has received top of the line reviews and I agree with them. It is truely a professional's point-and-shoot. It has a Zeiss lens which is extremely sharp throughout the zoom range. It has a metal body and is built like a tank.

One of the negatives of this awesome camera is that there is no complete manual excerpt on line.No longer true.Amazon will not let you post links but if you Google "Sony Rx-100 Manual" you will find it in the dpreview website as a pdf - as Sony should have done to start..

Great at... 1. Pic Quality. 2. Physical Size. 3. Lots of User Control.For me at this price I am not sure I can live with... 1. Fixed (no tilt) Screen. 2. Relatively low battery life -- I know it is small, but more important to me is functional. 3. Battery has to be charged in Camera - does not come with a separate Battery Charging Dock--not very convenient. 4. No Eye-Fi Setting Eye-Fi Connect X2 4 GB Class 6 SDHC Wireless Flash Memory Card EYE-FI-4CN.Bottom-line IMHO the Value Quotient is tough to justify.

I have only had the RX100 for a few days, but I have already decided to sell my often used S95 and barely used LX-5 on ebay. The RX100 is NOT just marginally better than both, it is a quantum leap in image quality. My wishes for the next iteration: 24mm at the wide end and a paper manual... otherwise great job by Sony on this one!!Update: While the image quality of this camera was indeed excellent, I found that I did not like the day-to-day ergonomics of this camera. I have since sold it.

I love the weight and feel of this camera. The best additon would be some rubber adhesive on the finger holds.The only problem for me as a newbie to shooting is a non existant tutorial or educational dvd on this camera. If anyone has heard of one of these I'd love get it. Please advise here or email me the url. Thanks

The Sony DSC-RX100 has been extensively reviewed here and elsewhere by amateurs, enthusiasts, and professionals alike. I have discovered no un-reported features and tend to agree with the many, many positive comments that have been made while sharing little enthusiasm for the few criticisms that have been levied. Repeating what others have said would therefore seem as tedious as it would be pointless. Like most, I have found the Sony RX100 to be fast, small, easy to use, highly customizable (RAW + JPEG, manual modes, all the most modern shooting modes), well crafted, and capable of producing images of very high quality.What I will try to articulate is perhaps a fresh perspective on this wonderful camera, particularly for those who travel, who like to shoot without drawing a lot of attention to themselves, or who are recently returned to serious photography, which I define as shooting with an eye towards attaining high quality images. Once a long time ago I fancied myself an enthusiast. I owned a Nikon FM2 equipped with fast 28, 50, and 105 mm fixed length Nikor lenses, shooting a variety of conditions and subjects with low ISO, consumer-grade Kodak and Agfa print and slide film. But during grad school - what I now call the "lean years" - I needed money and sold the whole setup. I married soon thereafter, had a couple of kids and, being settled, needed to capture those precious moments. So my wife and I bought, kept, discarded, or replaced a whole series of point-and-shoots, first film, then digital, as well as an early 6.2 MP Canon DSLR with a 28-150 or so Canon zoom, which we still have. My wife did most of the picture taking and the cameras were mostly of her choosing.As time progressed my growing contempt for fuzzy, facebook-quality images, iPhone cameras, our collection of point and shoots, and my wife's Canon (nice, but I swear like 5 lbs) grew until I decided to purchase a camera of my own. But what to buy? Paramount would be the ability to acquire high quality images - rich, accurate colors, high resolution, RAW and JPEG formats, and nice dynamic range - using the smallest possible package. To me photography is a very conspicuous process where the degree of conspicuousness is driven by the perceived complexity and size of the rig used to shoot. Lug that DLSR with a massive zoom lens supported by its own monopole to the Little League game and you'll get first class images. But the other parents are thinking "picture guy" and if you turn it in their direction they'll duck and cringe. Take what is perceived as a point-and-shoot - sure, sure, not the equivalent but... - and people will assume you have point-and-shoot motivations and ignore you. And, while it is beyond dispute that no point-and-shoot (including the RX100) can rival the best images that that same DSLR can produce, it is also true that they are heavy and clumsy. Bulk and conspicuousness therefore have the paradoxical effect of rendering the equipment most capable of capturing fine images the very equipment I am least likely to haul out take some snaps or pack for a long trip to Europe.Now the RX100. Very inconspicuous - you can take it anywhere and everyone seems relaxed because who doesn't like a snapshot, right? People ignore you - you're the dunce with the clown camera. Better still, you can put it on a lanyard, hang it around your neck, and carry it around in the breast pocket of a shirt - it looks like you've got your work badge and a pack of smokes in there. Its quick startup, rapid zoom, and easy mode setting do make it a great point and shoot but it's extremely capable of more thoughtful composition, though no one is the wiser. I find myself taking it places I would never take our big Canon DSLR. How about that trip to Europe? Do I really want to drag a DSLR and three lenses around while floating down the canals of Venice? I lived in Europe for years and humped that Nikon SLR setup from one end of the then free world to the other. Once, while changing lenses at Checkpoint Charlie during 1985, when the East Germans were rebuilding it and it was being guarded by loads of Germans and Russians wandering about, I accidentally strayed onto THEIR side and was nearly apprehended at the point of an AK-47. The RX100 features a nice zoom (no need for that 28, 50, and 105 anymore - adios East German border guard dudes), good light gathering ability, and an extremely compact, balanced wrapper. Like other compact, fixed lens systems the advantages conferred by small size and simplicity simply overwhelm the DSLR when it comes to light travel and inconspicuousness.And image quality? I would say I'm at a loss for words but I've saved a few. Marvelous. Superior. Rich. Sharp. Surprisingly good. Side by side comparisons with my wife's Canon DSLR show better resolution and only a slight loss of dynamic range. I'm not thrilled with the macro, which seems to produce images that are kind of creamy and a bit too soft for my taste, but at normal focal lengt

With the RX-100, Sony has raised the bar for compact cameras. This small camera provides most of the flexibility of a much larger, heavier, and more expensive digital SLR (dSLR) or digital Semi-Transparent Lens (dSLT) camera, or even of a somewhat larger, heavier, and more expensive Mirror-less Interchangeable Lens Camera (MILC) such as Sony's NEX line of cameras. The RX-100 allows the photographer to control the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, auto-focus area, etc., and creates RAW format images, in addition to the less useful JPEG images. Also, the RX-100 menu system is reasonably intuitive, and easier to manage than the menu system of Sony's NEX line of cameras, about which you can read numerous complaints. The RX-100's 1" sensor is roughly 3 times larger than the 1/2.3" sensor of the typical compact camera, and consequently provides much better image quality than any other compact camera, with the obvious exception of the Sony RX1 compact camera that has a full-frame sensor, and that is roughly 4 times more expensive. The RX-100 boasts a high-quality Zeiss 28-100mm lens, which at 28mm has a maximum aperture of f/1.8 that is very impressive for a compact camera. The RX-100 is a valuable addition to a serious photographer's toolkit, and is as well a viable entry point for the amateur photographer to learn and practice the basic principles of serious photography.However, you get what you pay for, and although the RX-100 sensor is superior to the sensor of any compact camera of similar size and somewhat similar price, its sensor is no match for the sensor of a full-frame compact camera, a full-frame digital SLR, a half-frame digital SLR, or a half-frame MILC camera. For example, the dxomark website provides the following ratings of the sensors for various Sony (and other) cameras, based on measurements of the Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO characteristics of those sensors: RX1 full-frame compact (93), A99 full-frame dSLT (89), A77 half-frame dSLT (78), A57 half-frame dSLT (75), NEX-7 MILC (81), and RX-100 compact (66). Viewed from the perspective of these DxO ratings, the RX-100 sensor is in a class with Sony's first dSLR camera, the A100 that DxO gives a rating of 61. So, on one hand, the RX-100 provides equivalent image quality to the A100 dSLR, but on the other hand, the RX-100 image quality falls far short of the quality of the A99 dSLT or RX1 compact.But even considering the superior image quality of a dSLT camera such as the A99, this large, heavy camera is of no use to you unless you are able to take it with you. And taking a large, heavy camera everywhere you go is impractical. So, finally, this issue shows the strength of the RX-100. It is small, light, and unobtrusive, so you can take it with you frequently, and you will have it available to take high-quality photographs, even if those photographs are not of the highest possible quality that you might obtain with a larger, heavier, and more expensive camera.If you insist on the highest-possible image quality in a compact camera, and you are willing to pay for that quality, consider the RX1 instead of the RX100. The dimensions of the RX1, in terms of height, width and depth, are 113mm by 65mm by 70mm, whereas for the RX-100 those dimensions are 102mm by 59mm by 36mm. The weight of the RX1 is 482 grams, whereas the weight of the RX-100 is 240 grams. So, the RX1 has twice the depth and weight of the RX-100, a fact that makes the RX-100 a less obtrusive compact camera. The RX1 has a 35mm f/2 lens, whereas the RX-100 has a 28-100mm f/1.8 zoom lens, but the aperture of the RX-100 lens is f/1.8 only at 28mm, and decreases steadily to f/4.9 as the focal length increases from 28mm to 90mm: f/1.8 at 28mm, f/2.8 at 35mm, f/3.2 at 50mm, f/4 at 70mm, and f/4.9 at 90mm. The RX1 costs $2,800, whereas the RX-100 costs $650.Sony provides a downloadable, 68-page English/Spanish "Digital Still Camera / Instruction Manual" in PDF format for the RX-100 that doesn't give enough detail to be fully useful However, if you perform a Google search, you will find a 227-page or a 261-page much more comprehensive "Cyber-shot User Guide / Sony RX-100 User Guide" in PDF format, that is similarly downloadable from a Sony web page, although Sony doesn't provide any apparent clue that this more comprehensive manual exists. And, if you need even better instructions on the use of the RX-100, you can perform a Google search for Friedman Archives and buy the 425-page "The Complete Guide to Sony's CyberShot RX-100", which, at a price of $21.45 in PDF format, would still be cheap at twice the price.One caveat that you can find on page 203 of the 227-page version of the comprehensive "Cyber-shot User Guide / Sony RX-100 User Guide", or on page 235 of the 261-page version of that guide, is the fact that connecting the RX-100 to a computer via the USB cable can be idiosyncratic. In particular, you may need to connect the USB cable directly to the computer, i

I've had 35mm, 8mm film, video tape, digital tape and SD/HC cameras for over 50 years now, and while I've never been a professional (had my own darkroom for a time) I've enjoyed capturing Nature and Industry, Art and Architexture and my kid's (and now my grandkid's) life events. I've been through lots of formats and equipment keeping up with technonogy and I can't say for sure, but this might just be where my need for more and better ends. A couple of years back I bought a highly rated super-zoom camera (won't mention the brand as the best of them have the same flaws) that had 12 mp and videoed in AVCHD. Anything better would have required stepping up to a DSLR and multiple lenses and more nonsense than I was already used to. It didn't take long to realize the fatal flaws of the super zooms, lousey optics, poor low light images and videos, still larger than a point and shoot. Fine for family night but no photo images to be any more proud of (and maybe less so)than my 48 yr old 35mm SLR. With an upcoming two week Lifetime trip to China it was time to step up to the cash register once more (er-ah hit the add to cart button). I picked up my Sony DCS RX 100 at the UPS shipping facility in Redmond WA. at 9AM the same day we left on our trip at 2:30PM. Bearly enough time to charge the Batteries and fly through the instructions to learn how to turn it on (actually it's incredibly intuitive if you have any recent vintage point and shoot. Included instructons are almost non-existent but cover the basics.) Knowing I would not have time on tours etc. to do much else, I had already decided to stick primarily to the IA position and point, and shoot. I did, and I have been amazed at how easy it was to get great looking photos under a variety of lighting conditions. Pictures, tons of pictures. Rapid fire shots. night shots of buildings at night. Pictures from the busses (OK there's no way to get great pics through the window of a bus but some weren't that bad). And video. Under all lighting conditions. With a dedicated video button there's no need to dial up the video position. And press the shoot button during a video and you can take a photo with no interruption. I brought my 10.5" tablet along and was amazed when I saw the enlarged pics. The lens isn't a super zoom, 3.5x maxing out at 100mm, but with a HUGE (for a point and shoot) 1" CMOS sensor, a 1.8 Carl Zeiss lense system and 20.2 megapixles you can blow up anything taken at less than 1/100 sec. with little loss of detail. One comment. I really did stick to IA for all shooting. I discovered the dedicated panorama position at about day 3 and it's amazing too. Only after returning home did I check out the IA+ position on the dial and realize I should probably have done all my shooting in this position (I tried a couple of test shots under low light condition and saw little difference but who knows). I took all video in the MP4 codec (plays on my tablet natively and most other places on the web) but it will also record .264, 720 or 1080. Day or night, light or dark, the results, again, amazing. I have to mention the LCD, which is the brightest I've ever seen in bright sunlight. Usually I can't see a thing on the screen in bright sunlight so I tend toward viewfinders and this Sony only has an LCD. But I could always see what I was shooting or filming, even with the sun behind me. China is truely an amazing country to visit. Most worthwhile 2 weeks of any trip I've ever taken, and I can hold beautiful memories of it all in my pocket. Thanks, Sony, for making what will probably be my last photo/video product. A final point here about the 3.5x zoom lense. Anything greater with today's technology and there's a loss of quality, period. And whether for pics or video, unless you're using great quality tripod equipment and take a lot of time, counterproductive. Past 100mm it's pretty much impossible to hand hold a still or video (especially video) camera and produce an image worth viewing. On our China trip I did not once find a desire to xoom in any closer than the camera allowed. And if there were, you can enable digital zooming for still shooting and no-loss Hd electronic zooming for video. That's the advantage of the huge CMOS sensor and the 20 megapixles that are available.

I've been using this camera for about 6 weeks now. Briefly, it blows me away.Before I get into details of the camera, my own background in perspective. I'm a total amateur, who has gone in and out love with photography as a hobby. I had a SLR back in the film days, but really a mid level camera with a couple different lenses. Around 2006, I purchased a dSLR -- The Sony Alpha A100. I chose that model, simply because it was compatible with the lenses I already owned. I built up my gear, around that camera. Added a tripod, added a (old used) fast prime lens. In 2011, I took my family to Disney World, and was constantly making use of the whole camera setup. That was the high point of my dSLR use. Then slowly, gradually, I felt like I was being weighted down by the camera. Too cumbersome to carry all the time. Even when it was strapped to my back, too much of a chore to change the lenses. So when planning another trip to Disney World in 2012, the Sony RX100 caught my attention. dSLR quality, in my pocket. Could it really be that good?I'm sure that the Sony RX100 will not measure up to a top-of-the-line 2012 model dSLR. But I am very confident that it will generally match up well against a current model entry level dSLR. And it gets significantly BETTER results than my old 2006 dSLR.So when looking at the pros and cons, how does it differ from my 2006 dSLR?Probably the 2 most important elements in any camera, are the lens and the sensor. dSLRs have significantly bigger sensors than point & shoot cameras. A bigger sensor can capture more light faster, and typically therefore can produce far better results. The Sony RX100 sensor is still smaller than dSLRs, but it is significantly larger than almost any other true compact camera on the market. While still smaller than my 6-year-old dSLR, I'm guessing advances in sensor technology over the 6 years, makes up for some of the size difference. Turning to the lens -- a dSLR camera can change lenses. the RX100 only has 1 lens, but WOW -- It is an amazing lens, made by a well respected brand in lenses. The lens stops down to a 1.8 aperture at the widest angle. For those who don't know aperture, it means that the lens opens very wide, allowing more light to reach the sensor, more quickly. On the "included" lens that comes with most dSLR cameras, then aperture is not nearly as wide.So combine the above-average-sized sensor for a point and shoot, with a top of the line lens -- And you get results consistently better than my 6-year-old dSLR, with mediocre lenses.This sensor/lens combination gives you a lot of advantages, comparable or even superior to some dSLR/lens combinations. It shoots VERY well in low light. Sensor "sensitivity" to light is measured in ISO. My old camera maxed out at 1600 ISO. So even with a very wide aperture, I wasn't able to take pictures on dark rides at Disney. The RX100 maxes out in manual mode at 6400. (there are some auto tricks that raise it even higher). With ISO 6400 and the wide aperture, I was capturing usable images of rides in the dark at Disney.Another great advantage of the wide aperture is bokeh -- The ability to take a picture with a blurred background. It's fairly easy to achieve with a dSLR AND an extra lens. The lens included with most entry level dSLRs, won't have a wide enough aperture to achieve this effect. The RX100 achieves it with fair success. My SLR, with an extra lens, can still do it a bit better. But the RX100 probably does it better than any other compact camera.Finally, the whole system focuses very quickly and accurately. Typically, SLRs focus much faster than compact cameras. The RX100 focuses MUCH faster than my 6-year-old dSLR. The focus speed feels comparable to most entry level DSLRs.For someone with a real or developing knowledge of photography, this camera has the advantage of very full manual control. You can take control over just about any of the settings, and can customize various menus and settings to your liking. While common in dSLRs, this is not found across compact cameras.The camera has the pro of it's 20 megapixel sensor combined with the ability to shoot in "RAW" mode. This allows you to capture huge amounts of data in every photograph, which opens a lot of possibilities in post processing.The camera has a whole array of special modes, that are becoming increasingly common across cameras.The best ones that are included:In camera HDR -- Automatically quickly snaps 3 images and combines them. In the past, I could only do HDR with post processing, and generally had to take the pictures with a tripod. Now I can do it, in camera, hand held.Panorama -- Works the same as the new iphone.Handheld low light and similar modes -- Much like HDR, it combines multiple images. In this case, it combines the image results to correct for low light, or correct for camera shake.There are multiple other modes. For example, I've had fun with the watercolor mode, which turns th

I recently lost my beloved canon S95 and needed a replacement compact camera. I hesitated for a while between the much cheaper and ill-reviewed little brother of the S95 (S100) and this expensive new sony RX100 which everybody has been praising.When I opened the box I was surprised by the weight of the camera. This thing is small but heavy like a brick. With so much mass, I don't think that the camera would survive a 3 feet fall! Props to the engineers, it's amazing that the entire Carl Zeiss lens can retract into the body of such a small camera. Other than that, the sony RX100 looks really slick and reminds me of a Leica (not that I ever had one). A German camera it is not yet. I was in fact hugely disappointed by the finish of the camera. The trap doors for the micro-USB connector and the HDMI micro jack are so flimsy that I think Sony just asked some interns to design them. It's also likely that Sony is looking forward to people sending their camera for repairs, or just hoping that they buy the RX200 next year. I guess if you have a lot of money to throw around on cameras then it shouldn't be an issue. For me the joke doesn't end here. The worst piece of design on this is the flash. When it popped out I just started laughing. It's a $650 point & shoot and yet it has the lousiest flash I have ever seen on any camera. It's just ridiculous. I went in the menu and disabled the flash. I also assigned the flash button to an ISO button. This way I won't accidently pop it open and break this little piece of cr@p. Funny thing is, the manual advises people not to carry the camera by the flash unit. I guess everyone will have figured that by now.I read in many reviews that the RX100 was "made in Japan". Mine says "Made in China" and further investigation revealed that it's the case for every single RX100 that is on the market now. Thus, don't buy the sony RX100 because you think it's made in Japan. It seems to be something that sony did for the first batch of cameras knowing that the first reviewers would appreciate this detail.I then started to take some pictures out of my window and compared them to shots taken in parallel on my 6 years old entry-level Pentax 6M pixel DSLR equipped with a 18-55 lens from Sigma. I was less than impressed by the dynamic range and the colors on the Sony RX100. I heard people saying that the RX100 was as good as some recent DSLR. At first I seriously doubted it based on the test landscape shots I took. The colors were rather bland and the clouds overexposed although it was still early morning. Sure you can zoom in or crop the pictures taken on the Sony like crazy and get a better resolution than you would on a 6M pixel camera but this sony doesn't replace a DSLR when it comes to dynamic range.A few days later, I must admit that my opinion has changed a bit. You just need to figure out what this camera is good for. I started taking a variety of pictures and am now quite impressed. The sensor is very sensitive and the noise more than acceptable. I have shot many evening pictures in B&W and in color without flash at ISO3200 and am very satisfied with the results. The sony RX100 is indeed much better at this than my canon S95 or my Pentax ist DL2 DSLR. To be honest, it actually kills both cameras in this respect. Not sure how someone experienced with more recent DSLRs would feel about the ISO performance but I find it great. The shooting speed is also a big plus. I enjoy the movie mode as well. You can change the aperture and (slightly) throw the background out of focus which makes a huge difference with the canon S95 and almost every other point and shoot. I would not recommend zooming in and out while you shoot since the results aren't very smooth but overall the RX100 is quite good for shooting movies.One thing that I don't like is that several of the functions and modes are not compatible. For example shooting HDR and setting a timer while I have the camera on a tripod is not an option. This seems totally illogical to me and I don't understand why I can't do both to make sure that there's no camera shake. I do enjoy being able to set the camera to B&W and shoot a movie. This wasn't possible on the S95 for example. Still, I wish you could combine more modes and effects. Sony might release a software update but I wouldn't bet on it. They are probably too busy whipping their interns for the lousy trap door and flash design.That's about it for now. I have been shooting for about a week and am still having fun with the RX100. The camera is amazing for a point and shoot. Considering that I paid $400 for the S95 a year ago, I would say that the steep price of the RX100 is totally justified considering the difference in performance. Paradoxically, I can't help feeling that the RX100 is a bit overrated. It's not as good as a DSLR like some would like to pretend. I also really can't look past the fact that Sony decided to cut corners on the final design. I am really scared that I am going to b
