Best Zoom Compact
on January 24, 2013

The RX100 fits my requirements almost perfectly.
It's small enough to put in your pocket, yet the quality of the photos are comparable to many 4/3 cameras on the market.
The auto options are convenient and logical but the deciding factor for me were the manual settings, together with the large sensor. You can also shoot in RAW and JPEG enabling post shoot tweaking.
I only wish Sony had included a vufinder, even an optical one would have sufficed, also I wish SONY had covered the camera body with a "skin" such as leather or the equivalent enhancing the tactile feel of the camera. But I'm still giving it 5 stars. An incredible technological feat by Sony cramming all that technology in such a small body. In the end the results of the photos speak for themselves.

Best Pocket Camera EVER!

Love it. Not only does it feel good to hold because of the build quality but the images and videos this thing takes are amazing for a compact camera.

Nearly as good as an DSLR

I bought this for the wife, she was keen on a DSLR, however she isn't a pro photographer and wouldn't properly use it's features. I would always be carrying the bag or it would be to big to take everywhere. So I got her this instead and glad that I did. The image quality is fantastic and the features are easy to use to produce great shots.

Great for the novice and pro user!

I recently got this camera as a birthday present and I got to say, the picture quality is astonishing for such a small camera.
My old camera was a basic Sony camera and this camera is in everyway superior for the following reasons:
- quick to turn on and start shooting. very little delay in starting up or between shots.
- can capture sharp images at high ISO settings and low light.
- autofocus function is very quick.
- screen is very viewable in sunlight due to Sony's WhiteMagic technology and the display is sharp and vibrant.
- DSLR quality without having to lug around a DSLR.
- requires very little to no tinkering to achieve great photo results in any condition.
- I personally really enjoy the preset functions which caters to the point and shoot crowd (such as myself). love setting it to food settings and taking pictures of my meals like a real foodie, with images similar to those seen in magazines.
- for the pro users, the camera has many manual functions to tinker with to your hearts content.
- video capturing is also another strong point. it can capture video at full 1080p at 60fps. The videos I've taken have been fluid and smooth.

Overall: solid purchase and so far the best point and shoot camera I've ever owned. for those still on the fence, don't be. Purchase this camera knowing that its one of the best, if not the best within its class. there really is no competition.

Is this the best compact camera on the market?

I bought this camera as a replacement for my older compact digital cameras. All I can say is its amazing. The quality of the pictures and the inability for a novice like myself to take a bad photo is incredible! I love it! Well done Sony I am so impressed I am going to buy the SLTA65! DSLR (although I'm not sure if I will use it. This camera is so bloody good!)

Perfect everyday camera
on January 15, 2015

Wow. Where to start? Bought this before a trip to Perth to avoid lugging an SLR around, and it's probably one of the best things I could have done.
Fantastically small and light (admittedly compared to an SLR!), great image quality, shooting in RAW+JPEG so quickly is wonderful. Very easy to use, even the automagic mode captures amazing detail. There's all the usual assortment of modes that you'd expect, but I've found that 99% of the time, shooting in Auto is just as good.
Wish I could post some of the photos I've taken with this!
Probably the only downside I've found is that the "ring" on the front of the camera that lets you select various things (adjustable per mode, too) doesn't have tactile feedback, or clicks - a minor gripe though; when compared to everything else this camera does so well, it's negligible.
I also bought one of these for my father-in-law's 70th birthday as his first digital camera (couldn't let go of the old SLR), and he hasn't touched the SLR since. A winner that can convert even the most rusted-on film fan :)

Amazing

It's really very straight forward. I could sit and write about how wonderful this camera is. But at the end of the day it needs to be seen to be believed!!! Without a doubt the best point and shoot I have ever had in my hands. Simply AMAZING.
The only small problem I can see is the build quality on the slots that open. Power and Battery compartments, for this money a better build quality would have been nice in these areas.
Pros: Ease of Use, Value for Money, Design, Durability, Features
Cons: Quality

no optical viewfinder
on August 2, 2012
Posted by: estelle
My biggest disappointment with most compact cameras is the lack of an optical viewfinder. I have a sony DSC P10 and a sony HX5V.
I prefer the DSC P10 and would never buy another camera without an optical viewfinder.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
