The editors liked
The JPEG image quality is very good and
For those prepared to go the extra mile
The RAW pictures are stunning
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II delivers excellent photos
Speedy performance
And a broad feature set in an attractive
Compact package
Tilting screen
Full manual control
WiFi compatibility
Excellent lowlight performance
The editors didn't like
The tradeoff of the small
Pocketable form is that the various function buttons are tiny
But the lensconcentric adjustment ring compensates
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
New, 20.2MP, 1inch type, backside illuminated (BSI) image sensor produces superb image quality, with particular improvements in low light and high ISO, 3inch tilting rear LCD screen handy for composing shots from difficult angles, Fast allaround performer
Bigger and heavier than previous model, More expensive than previous model, Reduced burst performance when shooting RAW files, Somewhat confusing menu structure and control layout, WiFi features can be difficult to set up
Sony has once again raised the bar for advanced compact cameras with the RX100 II. Building on the wildly popular RX100, the RX100 II adds a tilting rear LCD screen, flash/accessory hot shoe, built-in Wi-Fi, and a backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor for im...
Abstract: Stepping up in the compact spectrum are cameras that tend to be aimed at photographers who want full photographic control. Good low-light performance, the ability to shoot Raw, and accessible manual controls make these compacts a viable portable alternati...

Quality: just above average.Why you would buy the Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Mark II: compact; fast Zeiss lens.Why you wouldn't buy the Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Mark II: limited zoom range for your needs; LCD screen tilts are limited.A surprising package in such ...
The new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II is undoubtedly a better camera than the original RX100, both in terms of features and image quality, but it's also a lot more expensive than the original model, which continues to be sold as part of the premium Cyber-...

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.

Its worth re-stating that this is the best compact camera with an integrated zoom lens. You can find better performance with a fixed focal length compact like as the Ricoh GR for around $800. If you don’t mind bulky interchangeable lenses, the Sony NEX-3...

Excellent high ISO performance. 1-inch image sensor. Wide aperture lens. Customizable controls. Large, tilting LCD. Minimal shutter lag. Raw image capture. Wi-Fi. Hot shoe with EVF support.
Very expensive. Limited zoom range. In-camera battery charging only. Could be sharper at the edges of the frame at 28mm
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....
Big sensor, pocketable compact form, Articulated LCD screen, Built in Wifi with NFC, Excellent low light & high ISO performance, Focus peaking, Hotshoe supports external flash, EVF and mic, Optional remote cable.
Weak stabilisation, Slow f4.9 maximum aperture at 100mm, Digital zoom can't be disabled for movies, Screen isn't touch-sensitive, No miniature effect mode for movies.
Like the best-selling RX100 before it, the Sony RX100 II delivers the same magic potion of large sensor performance in a compact format. When I wrote about the RX100 back in 2012 I said some people will 'complain it lacks a hotshoe, or an accessory po...
Though I've only had the Sony DSC-RX100M II for a few days it's become my go-to mobile camera. The RX100M II is a definitely worth the $100 premium over the RX100, which Sony continues to sell. While the RX100 M II's $749 price tag may sound like a lot, i...
