The editors liked
The image quality sets new standards for a pocketable camera. The lens
With its modest zoom range
Is outstanding
Resolving the smallest detail in the most difficult lighting conditions. Dynamic range far surpasses anything we have seen from a compact c
One of the largest image sensors to be found in a compact camera
High 20MP resolution
Full HD video with stereo sound
Full manual controls and intelligent auto settings
Solid aluminium construction and understated design
Sleek
Great screen
Shoots in raw format
Customisable buttons
Picture Effects
Snappy and responsive performance. Excellent image quality. Very good LCD screen. Peaking for focus assist. Stereo microphone picks up lots of detail
The editors didn't like
The video is so good that provision for an external microphone would be the icing on the cake
Very expensive for a pocket camera
Backplate buttons are small enough to warrant fingertip precision
Image quality not exact match for DSLR or system cameras offering even larger sensor for a similar cost
$ 799.00
Limited raw functionality
No touchscreen
Somewhat slippery body design. No hotshoe or viewfinder option. Widest f/1.8 aperture is only available at 28mm
There's no doubt that the RX100 delivers the goods, but it has strong competition in the shape of the Fujifilm FinePix X10 and Canon Powershot S100. We'd advise getting hands-on with all three if at all possible, but if not, we'll sum up that three-way by...
Good image quality with lots of detail, Good low-light performance for a digital compact, Speedy autofocus, Fast F1.8 lens
Battery can only be charged in-camera, Slower at f/4.9 at longest end, Pricey
The biggest issue that we foresee consumers will have with the RX100 is its price. At PhP 34,999, you can grab an entry-level DSLR or a mirrorless system camera. So why is the RX100 costlier than its peers? The Canon S100, for instance, costs PhP 28,998 o...
Gorgeous images from a huge sensor and a terrific lens, in a tiny body, Micro USB charging is convenient, Built in flash can be tilted back with your thumb for ceilingbounce lighting, Fast, snappy and responsive, Comes with some neat photo effects for tho
At this price point the RX100 is competing with big boy cameras that have interchangeable lenses, Not much expandability (i.e. external flash or mic input, add on lens modifiers or filters, etc), Will make you feel insecure about your current pocket camer
Abstract: I hesitate to label this a compact camera, because the Sony DSC-RX100 is somewhat in a class of its own. While it may look like a compact point-and-shoot camera, it ranks much higher in terms of camera capabilities and image qualities. The single most out...

If you're looking for the best digital compact in the market today, then the RX100 should definitely be in your shortlist. Build quality is superb, and the camera features a host of modes and options that will not only appeal to the beginner, but also the...
Exceptional JPEG output with great noise reduction, white light and contrast capture; Live View gives accurate representation of actual image captured; Great lowlight shots due to highend lens and 1" sensor; Fast autofocus; Full manual controls for video; Very compact body,
Quickly increasing aperture as you zoom in; Slow zoom in movies; Slow autofocus at complete zoom for close objects; Flimsy flash mechanism; HD video capture modes limited to AVCHD.
At the end of the day the Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 is a point & shoot camera, so when its limitations do show up, I can understand the technical reasons behind it. The simple fact of the matter is that right now there is no other point & shoot, let al...
Abstract: Lo admito, le había perdido completamente la fe a las cámaras de bolsillo / compactas desde hace mucho. Vimos algunas que estaban intentando innovar con funciones interesantes (como conectividad WiFi en la SH100 de Samsung , o un post-procesamiento para m...
Excelente resolución y calidad de imagen en todas la sensibilidades, Cámara muy compacta, Vídeo de gran calidad y con opciones de ajuste, Modo panorámico y HDR/DRO, Duración de la batería y carga vía USB
Ergonomía de una cámara compacta: accesos a funciones, pantalla fija, falta de visor, agarre, etc, Zoom poco luminoso en posición tele, Ausencia de verdadero modo macro, En ocasiones es lenta al grabar / acceder a las imágenes, No incluye cargador externo
Como hemos ido comentando a lo largo del análisis, la Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 nos ha producido unas sensaciones parecidas a las de la Canon PowerShot S110, no en vano son muy similares en su aspecto exterior. En ambos casos se ha hecho un magnífico trab...
