Sony RX100 II

 

The best compact just got better

New tilting screen is useful ; Impressive build quality ; Hot shoe accessory support ; Large, 1-inch sensor

Short zoom range ; No touchscreen

The Wi-Fi connectivity, meanwhile, allows for easy transfer of images between the camera and Wi-Fi enabled smartphones or tablets, as well as remote control of the camera from these devices.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II review

 

Popular premium compact gets an upgrade

Tilting screen ; Full manual control ; Wi-Fi compatibility ; Excellent low-light performance

No touchscreen ; Limited Wi-Fi functionality

We tipped the original Sony RX100 as the best compact camera of its class available on the market today. That is, a premium compact camera with a smaller than APS-C sized sensor. With a raft of welcome improvements, it's fair to say that the Sony RX100...

Sony RX100 II review

 

Small camera, big sensor is the pitch for the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II

Rock solid construction ; Tilting screen and hot shoe ; Excellent Carl Zeiss lens

Tiny back plate buttons ; EVF costs extra ; No handgrip

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II review

 

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II isn't a casual camera purchase. It touts itself as the big gun of the compact camera world, and with an asking price of £650 it's about as far removed from a back pocket change purchase as a compact can be. But we're still...

Excellent image quality, customisable lens ring glides with silky smooth motion, solid build quality, great WRGB LCD screen, can add viewfinder if desired, decent image quality throughout the range, small and pocketable body considering 1-inch sensor...

Pricey, no built-in neutral density (ND) filter, f/1.8-4.9 maximum aperture range may feel limited at longer focal lengths, rear buttons are small, no focus-distance in manual focus, generalised focus area in low-light conditions, response time lags in...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II is all kinds of wonderful, yet all kinds of pricey too. To cut to the chase the latest model is ultimately the original with a hotshoe attachment which, for some, will make it worth every penny. For others, and with the...

Sony RX100 II: Expensive, but worth it

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II delivers excellent photos, speedy performance, and a broad feature set in an attractive, compact package.

The ; delivers excellent photos, speedy performance, and a broad feature set in an attractive, compact package.

The camera tends to clip bright highlights more than we typically see, and the slippery body lacks a grip. Plus, the lack of a manually triggered macro mode might put off some fans of close-up photography.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II's combination of looks, speed, flexibility, and photo quality makes it a great choice for enthusiasts who can afford the price tag.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II is the sequel to 2012's Best Buy winner, the DSC-RX100. The original was a fantastic pocket-sized camera that produced amazing photos from a large-format, 20-megapixel sensor. Can the follow-up do even better, or is it...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II review

 

On paper, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II could appear to be a simple upgrade but it is far more than that. As a result of customer feedback about the original Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, lots of very useful features have been implemented or improved for...

Goondu Review: Sony RX100 Mark II

 

If you don't fancy buying into a system of accessories and struggling with a hefty camera, this small pocket dynamite, costing S$999, might just do the trick.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II compact camera offers a few worthwhile upgrades when compared with the original RX100, but comes in at a higher asking price.

Like the RX100 before it, the RX100 II is a bit on the slow side when it comes to starting up and capturing a photo. The 2.1-second startup time isn’t that bad for cameras of similar size, but you can purchase a fast-shooting D-SLR for the same amount...

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II Review

 

. The original RX100 was rather unique in that it features a 20.2 megapixel 1inch CMOS sensor, a compact metal body, manual controls, and a bright f/1.8 3.6x optical zoom lens. The RX100 II improves on the original with a 20.2 megapixel 1inch backlit...

Excellent image quality, Compact, pocketable camera, Large backlit CMOS sensor, Dual axis electronic level, Flash hot-shoe accessory port, Tilting high resolution 3inch screen, Impressive noise performance, Wi-Fi connectivity

High price, f/4.9 at telephoto end, Little grip at the front, Buttons may be small for some
