  • Small size, Large sensor, High ISO range, 8 face recognition, BIONZ image processor
  • No WiFi, which is becoming common in other cameras in this class
  • Sony DSC RX-100 has a large sensor that aids in providing good image quality. The larger sensor simply means that, as compared to small sensor cameras, it will be exposed to more light during any exposure with the same settings (ISO, shutter speed, and F...

  • There's a lot to love about the RX100 like the compact form factor, the control ring on the lens, the fast aperture and the larger than usual sensor. All, however, is not peachy in the land of the Japanese electronics giant. While the camera does offer...
