The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II isn't a casual camera purchase. It touts itself as the big gun of the compact camera world, and with an asking price of £650 it's about as far removed from a back pocket change purchase as a compact can be. But we're still exc...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II is all kinds of wonderful, yet all kinds of pricey too. To cut to the chase the latest model is ultimately the original with a hotshoe attachment which, for some, will make it worth every penny. For others, and with the...

As compact as the Sony RX100 is, it still feels very sturdy, not that we’d expect any less from Sony. The design is smooth, weighty and pleasing enough to want to be seen carrying one around. There’s a bit of a retro, yet modern charm about it. Good design extends to a sensible button layout that won’t confuse even the most novice of camera types. The RX100 is dead easy to use. Its features well-...
There are few real complaints to be had here, but it’s a shame the LCD viewfinder isn’t touchscreen, and the RX100 could be quicker to fix its autofocus on subjects - something bound to irk the more practiced photographers. You also won’t be able to use the fun photo effects on board when shooting in raw mode.
The Sony RX100 is a very impressive camera that is capable of producing some great-looking shots with lots of detail and a good colour spread. If you’re looking for a decent mid-entry compact digital camera, the Sony RX100 offers enough features to mak...
