This camera just got back from 3 1/2 weeks, mostly in Turkey, where I took 2100 pictures and 30 videos, which will be culled to a manageable number for sharing. So the camera has been tried in a variety of conditions: low light museums and mosques, sunny beaches, rainy Greek and Roman ruins, closeups of art, and local faces/dress shot at a distance. Plus a variety of short videos shot in similar conditions.In short, the camera is astonishing in the quality of its shots and ease of use. Its greatest strength is shooting at low-light. I seldom used a flash and when I did usually went straight back to using available light to capture warmer colors. In some dark cave ruins in Turkey, the camera captured colors and detail that could literally not be seen with the naked eye - without a flash. Frankly, felt like science-fiction.The videos are crisp and clear. True HDI bought this camera as a supplement to my Canon SLR and the last minute decided just to take the Sony. Never regretted the decision for minute. Its pictures were sharper than my SLR's and I could safely carry it in my front pocket. The wrist strap is a must. It doesn't have a ergonomic grip. Its only other weakness, I would say, is that its telephoto pictures when you get into the long digital zoom range , are noticeably noisy at low light. The 3.5 optical zoom is a little short for such purposes.But all in all, its one fantastic camera which turned out to be worth its high price tag when put to the test.

Other have detailed reviews. Features, etc. I have been shooting with a D7000 and S100 for quite awhile. I have tried many pocket-carmeras. Returned several, gifted others. This one I shall keep. Images stunning. Handling excellent. Options. Too many but enjoyable to discover. Sit with the camera. Play with it. Discover what it does. My only neg is the zoom. But as all have said the images, so, so very good. For me it has been a matter of getting past the fact that I can edit my photos instantly on my ubiquitous iPhone5 and have become super lazy with regard to shooting with my DSLR or for that matter my S100. Sorry I am a "real" photographer (made a living for years) but do love uploading to instagram and FB. So it goes. Now I am taking the extra steps, camera to computer to phone to wherever. I print from time to time. Photobooks as well... and now with the RX100 I am back shooting with a camera once again... very cool. Worth the money... The last star missing is the zoom/macro... could be longer and closer...

I keep my Sony RX100 in a Pelican 1010 case, which I keep in my car's center console. Keeps dust out and protects it from being thrown around in the car or when traveling. I put the camera in lens-down, with the lanyard on top of the LCD screen, acting as a cushion to prevent the LCD screen from touching the 1010's lid.Check out the picture I uploaded of the camera in the case.

This camera generates a visceral, Apple like response. I truly believe this accounts for at least 50% of its popularity among reviewers. This is a camera you WANT to love! Is it technically the best camera of its type on the market? I just tested it against the new Panasonic LX7. Certainly the RX100 has more pixels though the LX7 seems to have the better lens (and certainly brighter across the full zoom range) and 24mm is useful to me, JPEG color is also 'better', there are more video options and according some reviewers, slightly better video quality in the LX7, but....The Sony is an object of beauty and by comparison the Panasonic is a stylistic mess, right down to its removable lens cap and though both cameras have metal bodies, the LX7's feels like plastic. I'm sure Leica's version, at around what the RX100 sells for, will clean up the design, but I'm not waiting!PS: I'm sure I am not alone in this being, for me, an 'in between' camera, sandwiched between, in my case, an iPhone 4S and a Leica M9. I now have three objects of great beauty and functionality, each doing the job for which it was purchased!PPS: the camera comes with the most rudimentary, crappy, monochrome 34 page instruction manual, much of which comprises the typical boilerplate. There is no other documentation available. Period. For such a sophisticated, very premium priced and sexily packaged product this is disgraceful, even though I'm sure plenty of users will leave it permanently on auto-mode and enthusiasts will read all the reviews and figure everything out on their own. No excuse not to have a comprehensive, well designed and written manual available at least in PDF format. By comparison, the LX7 has a 225 page, fully comprehensive and nicely color illustrated PDF with hyperlinks. Shame on you, Sony.

We've been using this camera for a few months now and decided it's time for a review.Deciding what to rate the camera is the hard part.What do we like? - It's small/reasonably light but has a comparatively larger sensor size. - IQ is excellent for something of this size. - It's a nice looking camera. - Has pretty good low light performance. - Useful when you don't want to lug a bigger DSLR around everywhere. - Superior intelligent auto mode.What's ok? - The camera has plenty of good features but not necessarily that intuitive. - The ring around the lens is not tactile enough but does a job.What's not to like? - The price - being Sony, they will always charge a premium for their products. - It's one of the more complex/harder to use cameras out there if you are trying to go beyond the basic auto mode.We're not pro-photographers so this would be more aimed at people considering a high end compact. If you can afford a little more and portability is a high priority then this would be a great choice. It costs as much as a starter DSLR, can deliver good pictures but is not as cumbersome. Some of the functions and usability of the camera when using more manual settings was not as easy as expected but manageable.Overall, this is a great camera but for a price.

Excellent performance. It often takes better pictures than my Nikon D90 SLR. It is extremely compact, has a great wide angle and bright lens and it is very easy to use - even when you use it manual features.

"Pocket" camera? You have to have very big pockets...I've been using a Sony DSC-TX66 for the past 6 months as my daily camera and generally love it, but when I saw the enthusiastic NY Times review for this DSC-RX100, I got very excited and ordered one.The RX100 is a great camera. It is fast and takes great pictures and has every manual setting that a serious photographer could want.But compared to my DSC-TX66, it is huge. My TX66 comfortably fits into my front pants pocket with my wallet. The RX100 does not comfortably fit into any pocket I have, even by itself. This is a big drawback for me.If the photos from the RX100 really were *amazingly* better then any other smallish camera, I might find a way to live with the extra size but I shot both cameras side by side for several days and I really don't think there was a clear winner on image quality. I know that the RX100 has an amazingly huge sensor, but in real life it does not seem to make a noticeable difference in final image quality- at least not for the photos I take. I even took a lot of low light and fast motions shots, but the fact is that the smaller TX66 is also a great low-light performer.One plus is that this RX100 does finally have a standard micro USB port which is nice. The TX66 (like every other Sony I've ever had) uses a proprietary cable, which is just one more cable to have/lug around.Overall, I am sticking to my TX66. If you are looking for lots of manual settings and focus, and don't mind carrying your camera around your neck or in a bag, then maybe the RX100 is for you. If you just want to take great pictures, and want to always have your camera in your pocket then I'd recommend you look at the older and smaller TX66 instead.Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 18.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and 3.3-inch OLED (White) (2012 Model)

I just received this camera this afternoon and am extremely disappointed! I bought this camera from amazon with a "Used- Like New" description (because I know how many times cameras are opened as gifts and are returned un-used and often un-touched). Once receiving the camera, it looked great. Flawless even. I was thrilled to charge the battery and start shooting. Unfortunately, as soon as I turned the camera on the "memory card" was unable to be read and prompted me to re-insert it. I did this several times and have tried EVERYTHING to re-inserting, giving it time, trying to format it on my computer, trying to reformat it in the camera, using other camera's working memory cards, etc and still it tells me that "Memory Card cannot be read - please insert memory card." I am uterally disappointed as it seems that this is a flaw in a handful of these cameras. For such an awesome camera and review, I cannot believe a detail like was unnoticed. Even more so, that amazon or a seller would try to re-sell a defective camera. Now off to returning and looking for another travel camera. Not happy. ps - the memory card I am using is a SD32 which is compatable for a sony rx100. So I don't know what the deal is...

I have had this camera for a month now, and can agree it is a great camera. The photos are equal to a digital SLR, but this camera can fit into my pocket, so it goes everywhere with me. I wanted something to give much better photos than a typical point and shoot camera, and something easy to carry. This camera is perfect for that. All adjustments are possible on aperture and exposure, and many many more types of settings are present to play with. I enjoy this camera quite a lot, and would buy again.

I am not a professional photographer, but I have certainly owned enough cameras over the years as an amateur to know at least something about image quality when I see it. I have used a Canon EOS 40D SLR with a VERY EXPENSIVE lens that has been great over the years, but I always wanted to have something that wasn't such a pain to lug around on my family trips without feeling like I was making too much of a sacrifice in image quality. I have tried multiple other premium pocket cameras, but this RX100 is stunning to say the least. My very first shot of my son in difficult lighting in the house had that awesome SLR quality look to it and bokeh effect, and I was sold from the first shot :)The auto focus on this thing is insanely fast, and the noise/grain on these 20 megapixel images even when blown up to 100% "pixel peeping" on my computer is impressive to say the least. My 40D was only 10 megapixels, so when resizing my RX100 images to those dimensions it is even more impressive to me that they have managed to get that type of image quality out of a 1" image sensor in that small pocket camera. The ability to tilt the built-in flash back with your thumb a little to get a built-in "bounce flash" is also very cool, and the results from my initial simple tests using this method were pretty good.If you are into taking pictures that have high quality and would like to take something that is less of a burden on you dragging around equipment all day, then this is THE CAMERA that you have been waiting for! I can't wait to have this on my Disney trip with our 3 boys in 2 weeks instead of suffering from neck and shoulder strain all day from my SLR and wondering where to stow my big camera bag when getting onto the rides.

The RX100 is a pretty stunning display of technical virtuosity. It feels good at hand, the pictures are magnificent, and the range of abilities is pretty stunning.i use it in "intelligent auto" mode and am quite pleasantly surprised at how well it stitches together multiple pictures. It does the same thing in panarama mode. I didn't realize image processing had progressed quite as much as the RX100 demonstrates it has.Another thing I like: built-in help/manual. Really quite well done.What I don't like? Going back about a decade in terms of UX (user experience.) Complex, convoluted menuing, illogical flow of control, and arbitrary organization make this a product I have to really concentrate to fully use. Not much different than the Canon S95 it replaced or my Nikon SLR, but somehow the additional capabilities have added more than their share of conceptual difficulty. This is not a modern smartphone with a core consistency and elegant design relative to its complexity.Still, an amazing product and it works really, really well. I'm pleased I bought it.

This is an almost perfect camera. It's truly like a DSLR in a point and shoot body. However, what makes it fall short is the lens. 3.6x zoom is just not quite enough range (5x would fit much better in the point and shoot department). Sure, with a 20MP large sensor, digital zoom is much better. But still, just about every medium-priced point and shoot is over 5x. Also, while the wide-angle f/stop is very nice, at the telephoto end it's really bad. Panasonic is making a 24x zoom that's f/2.8 for the entire range. While that wouldn't be realistic with the sensor size in this camera, I'd think a 5x with f/2.8 over the entire zoom range would make this a killer camera. As it stands now, it's very close to the best point and shoot camera on the market. But, zoom range and lens speed is just not quite up to the task. Make the lens 5x and f/2.8 over the entire zoom range and it really will be a DSLR in a point and shoot body. As it stands, it doesn't really fit as a point and shoot nor a DSLR. So, I ended up getting a different camera. Looking forward to the RX-200 however!

The other reviews nailed it for the RX100; it's an awesome camera in a small package. I'd buy one again tomorrow. I want to write about two issues that will matter for some and haven't been spoken of too much. It is hard NOT to hit the Menu or Movie buttons with the heel of your thumb along the right side when getting ready to shoot. As there's no sound associated with the buttons you can be in for a surprised when you look at the LED viewer. It's maddening to discover you're shooting a video of your shoes.The other is the panorama sweep. Think about it, you're swinging the camera from left to right while shooting. Guess what, the image quality suffers from a moving camera. Even on a bright day the focus isn't as sharp as a still photo. Add to that that you are not shooting as tall an image (1856 versus 3648 vertical pixels). I have learned that it's far, far better to shoot a series of stills and stitch them together in Photoshop.But the camera is still worth it!!!

I am a profesional photographer. I currently own a Canon 20D and a Canon 5D Mk II, with a purchase of the Canon 1DX slated for the next few months. I was looking for a small camera that could produce professional-quality images. The Sony RX100 fits that bill!Pros: Excellent image quality. Owned for about a month now. Took over 200 images at a house party in low light conditions. Had a retention rate of > 50%. Ability to shoot RAW invaluable. The digital zoom is fine, but with 20.2 MP you can crop to your heart's content without losing image quality.Cons: Size (it is really small). Need to learn to shoot with one hand, without having a viewfinder to look through and compose the image.Suggestions: Get a quality case to accompany the camera (remember how much you paid for it). Also get a hand strap for convenient carrying and shooting.Recommended for: Professionals/Prosumers who intend to shoot RAW.

I have had many different cameras over many, many years. Some expensive and complicated and others not so. All of my Sony cameras have been good, but this one is over the top. Image quality, resolution, color rendition, shot to shot speed, build quality and handling are all unsurpassed for this class of camera. I also own a Nikon D7000 and after comparing identical shots - there is no longer a compelling reason to lug around a huge DSLR anymore. The output of this camera blows away cameras thousands of dollars more, so along with it's size and build quality, it's a relative bargain. Buy one of the external grips for the body and a good lanyard, a SDXC 64GB memory card and you are all set. For now, this camera remains the benchmark for it's class and could very well be the benchmark for many other classes of cameras too. Very nice to finally buy a digital camera the actually exceeds your expectations!

This camera takes great pictures. If you are only interested in pictures, this camera is very good. But for this price, the camera shouldn't do anything poorly.The video mode on this camera is faulty. I will try to download a video for review. Loud sounds, such as motorcycles, will cause crazy horizontal lines to appear in the video. I've returned the camera, but I'm stuck will all the cost of protective screens and additional manuals (which should have come with the camera at this price point).I only give two stars because the picture quality was good. I would have given it three stars, but I found the anti-motion feature didn't work as well as my Canon or Nikon point and shoot.

I purchased this camera to be a sort of daily driver, carry it around with the family to get the occasional photo rather than our larger DSLR (rebel xti). I generally agree with the reviews of all the positive qualities given by people here, I used it extensively over the past few weeks and easily prefer it to using a newer iPhone for pics. Compared to the DSLR, I'm probably not knowledgeable enough to tell all of the differences in the end result, but I don't notice anything where I think geez I wish I'd taken that one with the xti. I do want to note two problems I've had that I don't see getting mentioned much: powering it down can take 30-60 seconds for the lens to retract, which is just sort of odd since it happens about half the time but the other times it shuts down and closes in say 3 seconds. Also perhaps 1/5 of the time there is a long delay between pressing the shutter button and it actually taking the picture, maybe 30 seconds. This in multiple situations, but for ex. Outdoors bright light, no zoom and just a scenery shot. And no, obviously I don't have any delay set. So ultimately I like it, but the convenience of the size is offset by these weird issues with slowness and that is annoying at times.

With the camera off and with the battery inside fully charged, the battery gets completely discharged in 2-3 days. This is without using the camera at all.When I used the chat help of Sony, I was told that digital cameras do draw power even while they're off. I told her that while I understand that power is being used to maintain the clock and settings, it should be reasonably obvious that it is a defect if at night the battery is fully charged and then the next day when I first turn it on, it already shows half empty (and in another day or so, it's fully discharged). I was then advised to call the Sony Hotline Support Team.So I did. The Sony support team person was very professional and eager to help but the problem at this point is not yet resolved. At first I was advised to always remove the battery when not using. I told her that having a full battery discharge to half just overnight in a camera that's off is ridiculous. She seems to understand and agree and after checking a couple of things told me that she will be sending me a new battery. I asked if this problem is a known problem in their database and that this is the recommended solution to it, she admitted that they don't have information on such a problem yet and that hopefully the battery is the problem and to try it out and if it doesn't work to call them again and at that time maybe I may need to send in my unit to Sony for fixing.Just a little bummed that my $650 camera has a serious flaw that Sony says they're not even aware of yet.

I just have to say that after a month of research for a new camera for my vacation, I decided on the RX100 and was VERY pleased with my choice when it arrived 3 weeks ago, and was very impressed overall...TODAY, I found out they are releasing a mark 2 in a few weeks!!! there was NO whispers on the internet about this, if I had known I would have waited!!! So a little annoyed about that, but glad I went with this series, even though my NEW camera is now OLD!So, anyone considering THIS camera should wait IMO...I wish I had known.

Yes, the picture quality is as generally reported - excellent for a compact and very close to low-end M4/3 cameras (e.g., Olympus E-PL1). While the RAW files are not yet supported by the big apps (e.g., Photoshop) that is sure to come in the very near future, so no worries there. Lack of hot-shoe for external flash is no big problem as the metering works fine with slave flashes (my Metz 28 CS-2 does a beautiful job with this thing). Lack of external microphone jack is a shame really given its awesome video capabilities, but I can live with it given my limited use of the video feature. The biggest miss for me is a horizontal thumb wheel at the top right corner to control the ISO (or even aperture if you want a one handed operation). Yes you can use the vertical wheel but that has two limitations - it is shared among so many important adjustments that you need to constantly switch between them (metering mode, flash mode, ISO, AF mode, shooting mode, etc.), so you often need a two step process to change anything, and also the vertical wheel is hard to use with your thumb lowered to it without losing your grip on the camera (so you end up pressing it hard to ensure a tight grip, but guess what - that clicks it and you change an adjustment. The wheel is also a 4-way switch).All said, it's a superb compact, if about $200 too expensive. I can easily recommend for the enthusiast given the choices in the market at this time.
