Sony - Cyber-shot RX100 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

This is a great camera. I'm a novice so it was a little confusing at first but then I realized for every option or feature you can hit the ? button and it explains what the function option means so all the options and settings are not as confusing or scary. It took me a few hours to understand the basics because I ? every option vs trying to study manual. It also has a way to save favorite option setting choices to scroll through that you might use more often. It is great in low light, sunny, panoramic, foggy all settings. Indoors at night in low light like a bar scene I don't even need a flash in fact I haven't even used the flash yet. Megapixels are great. Every shot comes out great. Pictures included are hand held shots no tripod because I don't have one yet. Zoom feature is really great also. The defocused background can get a little confusing but you can widen the area so it focuses more of the picture and if you zoom it tends to pick up the background more like in my sunset pic with tree branch hanging down in front of me, the sunset came in clearer which is what I wanted. Love Love Love this camera. Click on the photo tiles below, the tiles look blurry but not the shot when you open it ;)

love this camera. Excellent photo and video. Works great alone side my HX90V. I use the RX100 for low light photography, and the HX90V for the long zoom reach. I know have the RX10, A6000 with the SEL35F18 as a tandem. What I really like about the RX100, is the size and photo quality of this little camera. I find myself using it more than the others. I still think its the best point and shoot camera to buy under $500.00 Photo just to show that I own the cameras.

Excellent camera for beginning or advance. A bit heavy for a point an shot but worth the weight. At first some time will be needed to understand the menu and camera settings could be confusing. Control Ring is great for manual focus and a must for that one of a kind photo. Color is great and speed and camera reaction is fantastic for a point and shot. I have been taken 35mm since the 1960's and have had many cameras. I now have a Sony a200 . however with 15 grand kids i needed something i could carry around in my pocket. Have used other point and shoot cameras but nothing could freeze kids fast enough or could take one picture after another fast ,until i purchased the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100. I must admit it took me about 3 months to decided because of the price and not knowing if it would do what i expected of the camera. When I seen on Best-buy wed site and open-box in excellent condition for a price i could live with i decided to purchased(and with a return policy that was 15 days) i would see if the camera could do what i wanted it to and it did... Cons Price .. A bit weighty for a point an shot, Does not use AA batteries Flash does get in the way of holding camera when it pops up(But does give good coverage) No view finder Screen a bit hard to view in bright light . Overall an excellent point an shot for fast kids and fast movement. i Purchased the extra metal hand grip and screen saver overlay. from Amazon ..you will not be disappointed. The hand grip will make holding the camera a lot easier and safer. Also your fingers will not get in the way of the flash coming up.

This camera has a body not much larger than my Canon S110 or Nikon 1 S1 but can provide much better images than any of them even though the S1 also has an 1 inch sensor. I bought it from BB as an open box item with a great price that I couldn't resist. Its small form factor includes a great sensor and a super sharp Carl Zeiss zoom lens that allow you to take amazing pictures that could rival those taken by large sensors such as M43 or even APS-C in good light. Although it's now almost two generations old after the RX100 MkIII came out, you won't regret buying it especially if you could find one with a great price.

The sensor in the RX100 is the same 1" format that Nikon uses in its 1-System. It is considerably smaller than those used in most interchangeable lens cameras but it significantly larger than those used in most enthusiast compacts. Conclusion - Pros Excellent image quality and solid ISO performance Class-leading movie features and quality A good degree of customization puts your favorite settings at your fingertips Fast operation, including focus and Raw capture Flexible lens range (though a brighter zoom would have been nice) Excellent range of additional features (sweep panorama and auto HDR in particular) Good battery life for this class of camera USB-charging (with fast charger) makes it easy to travel light Conclusion - Cons Clickless control dial contributes to vague and unengaging shooting experience Flash metering is unpredictable Lack of ND filter can limit the ability to use wide apertures Screen hard to see in direct sunshine, despite WhiteMagic technology No official option to fit filters onto the lens (third-party glue-on adapters are available) In-camera raw conversion would add flexibility Playback confusingly separated into stills, MP4 and AVCHD sections Lag when trying to zoom in playback mode is irksome USB-only charging makes it awkward to use a spare battery

if you want a small and dslr kind of camera you must have this the picture quality is really nice i always got compliment on my shots. we have a canon 7d but my husband use it most if the time i buy this for me to carry anytime without hassle of heavy dslr. must have camera!

Lots of options for taking all kinds of pics/ scenes. Nice low light pics. Takes awesome landscape pics. Price is a bit high but worth it if you want DSLR quality pics without the bulk.

I wish it zoomed a little farther but I've taken some good shots with it. Still learning. The manual was incomplete.
