Sony RX100 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a high-end compact with a 20.2 megapixel sensor

Build quality ; Function control via lens ring ; Larger than average sensor

Very pricey for a pocket cam ; Small rear plate buttons ; Pics no match for DSLR or CSC

Sony RX100 review

Does Sony's 'game changing' premium compact deliver the goods?

Sleek ; Great screen ; Shoots in raw format ; Customisable buttons ; Picture Effects

Limited raw functionality ; No touchscreen

In a declining compact market, camera manufacturers are turning their attentions to producing better and better image quality in what seems like ever smaller packages.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 review

The thriving high-end compact camera market is one area that Sony's broad range of Cyber-shot models hasn't infiltrated like many of its competitors. The current HX20V might teeter on the cusp of high-end, but it's not got the guts to outperform the...

Small and pocketable, customisable lens ring, decent image quality throughout the range, f/1.8-4.9 aperture, quality WRGB LCD screen

No viewfinder or accessory option, lacks built-in ND filter, no manual focus, focus-distance display, would like more assignable lens ring options, it's pricey (pricier than a Sony NEX-5N)

There’s a whole lot of good to say about the RX100. Bags of customisation, a silky smooth lens focus/custom ring, great performance, that high quality, wide-aperture lens and decent image quality - even at that high resolution - make the camera stand out.

Sony Cyber-shot DMC-RX100 review

Shots are composed and reviewed via 3-inch, 920k dot resolution LCD – it's clear if not a patch on the EX2F's AMOLED screen, but otherwise there's very little to grumble about. Results are near pin sharp and can almost deceive that they were shot on a...

Like the look of the RX but could do with an even bigger sensor and four million more pixels? Then also check out the RX1, a pro grade version with an equally serious price tag. For most of us though the RX100 is as good as premium compacts get –...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 review

There aren't any gimmicks here. No GPS. No geocoding. No 3D movie mode. The Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a compact point-and-shoot through and through, and all the better for it.

Excellent stills; impressive low-light results; Accurate colour reproduction; Large sensor; Movie mode; Wide aperture lens; Versatile control ring.

Some wind noise on movies; Control ring can be a little slow; No bundled battery charging cradle; Extremely pricey.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 doesn't come cheap, but it looks great and produces consistently first-class stills. Low-light performance can't be faulted, colour reproduction is excellent and movies are crisp, with a well-captured soundtrack. This is...

Sony RX100 review

If you know your f-stop onions from your bracketing elbow, you might find most compact cameras just a bit too limited. Or maybe, if you're totally honest with yourself, you want a compact that says "Look, I am a photographer, I just chose to leave my...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is the most compelling point-and-shoot camera of the past few years, for quite a few reasons. Start with the sensor: Despite a body that's just a tad bigger than that of Canon's S100, the RX100 has a 20-megapixel CMOS...

It will cost you a pretty penny, but the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's feature set is unsurpassed in the compact camera space.

(Rating Hidden)

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 takes 20-megapixel photos - that's something you usually only see in high-end digital SLRs. Our tests find out whether this is just an impressive number, or a sign of real quality.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Full Review

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI features an 8.3x optical zoom, 24fps continuous shooting, 4K video, and a high-resolution electronic viewfinder. What's not to like about it? Well, the price is over £1000, but is the price justified? Find out in...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 cameras have always been compact, and the small controls have been something you can get used to on a camera with a small zoom, but as the zoom has increased to 8.3x, it becomes much more noticeable how small the camera is,...
