  • The camera tends to clip bright highlights more than we typically see
  • And the slippery body lacks a grip. Plus

  • The RX100 is an exciting camera - in part because it represents the arrival of another major manufacturer in the high-end, enthusiast compact market, but mainly because it's a spectacular piece of engineering. To a degree this risks being its undoing ...

  • 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
  • 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

  • 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
  • The video is so good that provision for an external microphone would be the icing on the cake

  • Abstract:  The lens retracts partially into the camera body when power is switched off, extending in two sections for shooting. With power off, the camera is genuinely pocketable, unlike its nearest rival the Canon PowerShot G1X . (A comparison of these cameras is p...

  • Snappy and responsive performance. Excellent image quality. Very good LCD screen. Peaking for focus assist. Stereo microphone picks up lots of detail
  • Somewhat slippery body design. No hotshoe or viewfinder option. Widest f/1.8 aperture is only available at 28mm
  • Offering snappy performance, excellent image quality and a sleek design, the RX100 proves that good things come in small packages....
