This Sony RX10 is the most versatile cam available. I would buy another and another, because it's that good. Does it Blow a SLR out of the water. It depends on what you want. This cam is sharp as it gets. Low light is good, but not SLR great. Bright highlight is a little high also, but you can shoot in RAW with this cam and for all around versatility it's awesome. This is no point and shoot cam. It's a full function cam. Any cam these days could be considered point and shoot, because of the automation built in them. This definitely the cam to buy for your vacation. Light weight and great imagine. I would not say it's a night cam, but indoor with low light it's excellent, at the ball park good, but not professional. Outdoors amazing. For tours excellent. All focal lengths and light weight, bright imagine and sharp.

Have bought and returned probably 10 cams, BestBuy employees must hate me by now but i wont settle. After almost giving up on finding a portable cam that didnt weight 7+lbs and i personally could easy get around with i found this cam. I was a bit confused because there are a few versions, the 1, 2 and 3. The 1 was too old, the two is essentially the same as the 3 minus the 600 zoom (the 2 only has 200 which is plenty for me). The 2 also scored pretty high in a few other areas where the 3 didnt do so well. The video quality and picture quality are awesome. I do alot of VLOGGING so i wanting something that could record great and take great pics. I paired it up with Manfrotto mini tripod and a Rode shotgun mic and im in heaven!

I just bought my dony rx20 and I love it, I'm coming from the canon rebel T3i and it was getting expensive to buy all the lenses I wanted, I travel and love to take pics but I don't like to travel with a bag full of equipment. This sony rx10 is all I need now and the video is awesome. I wish the LCD screen swiveled from dude to side but other than that I really like it. Aldo battery life is so so. I would recommend buying an external charger and additional battery

This camera is for advanced beginners/enthusiasts who do not want to drag around a big DSLR with lenses while traveling. The image quality is excellent. It performs very well. I own the base model so I have no 4k, touch screen, 600mm reach etc. I got this camera so I could have a constant 2.8 out to 200mm. The image sensor is one inch. Amazingly, you can really get some great images. My only complaint is the Sony menus. They are terrible!!!

Still learning how to use this camera but so far I love it. Got some fantastic pictures of my aunt at her 80th birthday party. Everyone loved them. Was able to share them while still at the party. Takes great videos, too. It is a heavy camera but worth it.

I entered the Sony mirrorless line up of cameras with the nex 6... Upgraded from the kit lens to a 35mm 1.8 prime... With does wonders for shallow D. O. F. and low light video... Especially with an aps-c sensor!!! But when I heard about the RX 10 I needed a lil more than just review s to go on... So I went into a best buy and actually got to hold one... That was the moment my opinion changed... When I got to see the type of video that the direct pixel read out could provide with 50mbps video and very little to no moire or aliasing I was sold... The best part is that you have complete manual control... The lens is everything they say it is... The only downside is that low light footage can get grainy in very dark areas... But this unit is capable of producing professional results...

I bought this primarily to supplement my other cameras when I Wanted something to grab and go with great low-light and video support and when carrying one of my 6-7 other DSLRs just wasn't a viable option. It has exceeded my expectations. For the price point, it simply cannot be beaten. The Zeiss glass is top drawer. Highly recommended.

So far, I really like this camera for low light photos. I am anxious to see how the videos turn out. I just wish that the zoom were a little better.
