Pros: Small, well-built, nice sensor, good battery

Cons: White balancing a bit weird,no Wi-Fi

Opinion: I have this machine for about 8 years and I have used it a bit everywhere, the size is really small, the file quality is great , honestly I still consider it a nice compact and very portable given the size ,being that it came out almost 10 years ago in my opinion you still behaves very well despite not having some functions that have more modern compacts , I never got to try the later models to make a comparison as I consider them exaggeratedly too expensive

Pros: Sensor

Cons: non-automatic iso in manual

Opinion: Excellent machine the only flaw is the automatic iso in manual is the only model of sony not to have it. Nightphoto I recommend to do them only with the three pede.battery you manage to make almost a 400 500 shots quini excellent durability.I highly recommend the purchase of this machine , also because being produced in 2012 , you can find even at low price

Pros: Hardware masterpiece...

Cons: ... ruined partially by absurd software choices

Opinion: I've had this camera for four years now, and the more I use it the more I'm angry at Sony's commitment to make it uncomfortable to use. The sensor for a really pocket compact is big, the yield in general excellent, the lens a good all-rounder (some combinations focal/diaphragm are not much and the canvas side is not very bright, but for 300 euros...). The usable bounce flash is an amazing plus in the interior, iso side you get photos more than decent up to iso1600... besides they will not be fine art, but if there is something to photograph at all costs the photo will still be searchable :) The flaws... The ISO car is there, but you can't use it in manual (but why? because it's called manual?), you can't set a minimum shooting speed in semi/full car modes, resulting in the camera prioritizing to keep the iso low will start with ridiculously long, unmanageable freehand speeds even with the (poor) stabilization. Fortunately the crop factor is so high (2.7x) that in priority mode S times almost never run the risk of having subjects or portions of them not covered by the pdc. The bracketing in the room exists but it is ridiculous (maximum scissors -0.7 -0.7EV, in practice better to do it calmly in manual). The Af is all but lightning, but still, given the age of the camera you can't complain... I certainly don't use it in eventful situations (or at least I can't use it). Almost all defects that can be solved quietly with a firmware update... but better of course force you to buy an mk3 for the ISO car in manual, or a mk4 for the minimum shooting time. Too bad, also because the yield of the later versions, photo side, does not seem exponentially greater as it happens instead to the price.

Pros: In a sentence: excellent quality, yield, construction and discretion, enclosed in something a little bigger than a packet of cigarettes and weighing zero in the pocket of a jacket. This makes the various faults forgiconable (see below).

Cons: Chromatic rendition often bizarre and disappointing, unless you fiddle enough on the Raw. Grip and sometimes uncomfortable operations, maybe it's too small. Several Raw, even at low ISO, do not respond in an excellent way to post processed (and generate a flood of noise in the B/N tonings in post). In Tele is slow, contrary to the excellent wide. High ISO is not particularly recommendable: better stop at 3200 (in some cases acceptable photos to 4000, from Raw). Disagreeable menu, typically Sony. Little Flash performance (but heck, it's so small, you can stay there). Battery not Excellsa, at least in my specimen. Nowadays its use is largely made avoidable by high-ranking mobiles (this does not apply to subsequent marks).

Opinion: Bought on a whim at the end of 2012, I used and abused and, even today, occasionally (which I lent/donated) the use, although the phones give me just a little lower performance. The image quality is typically Reflex-like, sharpness and resolve to detail are optimal. Traveling so light with her in your pocket is a priceless joy! But, in at least half of the shots, the colors are ugly, or at the very least, do not convince me. The WB is strange, cold-bluish and with a yield hardly optimal even in the hottest settings. Even from Raw (I don't use JPG from this machine) it's not easy to get them out as you want. These Raw also do not always respond well to post processed (however without overprocessing). Even at low Iso can pop out noise and artifacts, as well as bankruptcy of the highs (a little ' better shadows). The tonings in BN, more than noise, generate a real clatter. But not a big deal, then many BN I make them noisy and "movies like" specially. It is not a sensor at the same levels as an average APS/DX of an hour, beyond certain uses. You have to stay. High Iso should be used very carefully. 800/1600 are fine, going beyond is serious the risk of having to trashing the shot. Some 3200 is fine, rarely some 4000 (unless there are too many fine textures). The Tele is slow and "Buietto", contrary to Wide, fast and bright. The metal construction is excellent, but sometimes the grip is slimy and is a bit awkward. The menu is annoying, Sony style. The little flash does what it can but it is mediocre and from even more ugly colors. The various successive marks of this model should have improved many things, even if the price has splashed to levels frankly exorbitant (this here I paid 395 euros).

Pros: Small but professional

Cons: White balance

Opinion: Having exploited two until exhaustion I discovered some aspects little considered that help to improve the images and probably also affect the next models. Given that this machine is the equivalent of what was the Minox GT in the film years: lightness and absolute quality. Point The camera body is small but really sturdy, and in my two I have never had dust problems on the sensor, the autofocus is effective in an absolute way and the videos recorded in AVCHD are really very sharp (but very large), while the MP4 are actually the 1440x1080 format with ' rectangular ' pixels that eventually produce nice videos on the 16/9 format, good for family use or YouTuber. In fact, the RX100 some strip (as already the Minox) has it and for this it becomes essential to shoot always in raw: The white balance is generally shifted to very cold colors and little is worth the opportunity to customize the color, for my Use (generally in the mountains) I usually work with manual balancing set to ' cloudy ' or ' shadow '. The colors obtained are generally hotter than the right but more appealing and with an appropriate PP (on the raw file) it fixes everything. A second defect is the yield on the high lights, especially the sky, which in an attempt to recover the density undergoes a marked change of tone changing from blue to turquoise. The third flaw is the JPG files produced by the machine that at high magnification (400%) show a marked presence of artifacts (pixelated) that seen on a normal full HD video give an impression of a limited plasticity of the image. However, by processing the raw file with Lightroom or DxO Photolab you will get very balanced and soft jpg files, which results in a more plastic and richer tone image. From experience and personal comparative tests, it is difficult to find differences between the images of RX100 and those obtained with a Nikon D7200 with AFS-DX 16-80 F2, 8-4 (for sharpness and detail of JPG files). In fact the D7200 produces better jpg files, with a lesser noise than the RX100 (shooting at 200 ISO), but with a good job of PP the differences tend to disappear. The differences, as obvious, become more pronounced by going up ISO, but at least up to 1600 images are still pleasing. It goes without saying that carrying a reflex in the backpack (though light) makes a huge difference compared to the 240 grams of the RX100. Except that the advantage of D7200 is in the best sharpness (objectively 20 mpix are very-very close to the 24 Mpix), the big difference to the advantage of the APS is in the dynamic range and in the disturbance, which for the D7200 remain absolutely better. It is possible that later versions of the RX100 (3-4-5-6) have improved also in this respect, but regardless of this, the RX100, in my opinion, constitutes a milestone in the history of travel and adventure Photography (as was the Minox) and It is an indispensable tool for the traveler.

Pros: Excellent quality sensor, pocket, 1.8 diaphragm, versatile even in manual.

Cons: I can't find

Opinion: As an alternative to the Fujifilm FinePix 120 (which is underwater) no doubt it is really small offering pleasant results. While owning the D750 (my top that remains unquestionably outstanding) I needed also a small handyman machine with fixed lens as an alternative to my mirrorles. My choice fell in the RX100 and was well satisfied by my passion for the goals:p Ossedere with a few euros a Carl Zeiss optic that I recall the satisfactions received in the past with the planar Carl Zeiss. But I found a defect: it has a constitution so compact and limited that together with the N1j5 gives me the impression of having an all too compact cameras with the risk of breaking it (but it is a sensation). Fantastic the blurry and depth of field. Excellent for journalistic photos, portraits, panoramas but a little less for photos at a distance of which you need a tele pushed... but in a few centimeters you can not have everything. Nice alternative to Mirrorles although it is to be taken into account that it does not possess the salient characteristic of the versatility in terms of choice of lenses since fixed. Purchased at Amazon at €335.

Pros: Great 1 "sensor with good dynamic range, very versatile focal length (28-100mm on a 35mm base), wide-angle, so small to stay in the pants pocket, many advanced features for a compact (incredible in years when it's Exit).

Cons: The side of the screen is light, at the maximum focal length the lens resolution is visibly lower, AF in low light, maximum speed 1/2000, with the passage of time can "suck" dust from the collapsible optic.

Opinion: I have it since 2013, he has accompanied me on many trips around the world and will continue to do so as backup as small as it is. I'm especially fond of it because in a short time it has led me to appreciate photography though amateur and I would never have said it when I bought it. The focal length makes it truly versatile even if the side of the canvas suffers both for brightness and definition, the most successful part is definitely that wide-angle side. In the center is very sharp and solved already at TA especially on the wide angle but sharpness at the edges is not the best, in terms of uniformity across the frame returns the best results at f5.6 and can be closed without any special problems up to f8 , but after the effects of diffraction begin to become apparent. The maximum speed of the shutter (only 1/2000) occasionally gave me some skyscraper, but more generally I solved with a magnetic filter ring that allowed me to use aND filter if needed and most often a CLP. The JPEG files produced by the camera are disappointing even by playing with the settings, but working on RAWs can yield remarkable results thanks to the excellent dynamic range of the sensor in relation to its size (and was not BSI yet!). The resolution of 20mpx allows you to have a bit of margin to croak without too much mood. The AF in favorable light conditions is fine, but as soon as the light is short, it starts to work hard and go hunting. Manual focusing is possible and generally works fine with focus and magnification, at least within the limits of the fact that it can only be operated from the LCD screen. The only one found in all these years, maybe because I used it really so much so that at some point I found myself with a black spot particularly noticeable on the sensor, dust presumably coming from the collapsible optic. Turning on the internet I discovered I was not the only one to get in this problema and so I armed myself with patience, I unplugged the camera (not interfering with the operation), I cleaned the sensor and ... set up! I hope that in later versions have been remedied as much as possible to this problem, because spending 1000 € for current models and getting back after a couple of years out of warranty with the sensor dust in a basically armored body is not for nothing sympathetic.rnrnTotal added was a phenomenal compact camera when it came out and defends it well today, although it has now been largely overcome in almost everything by the RX100 after the mk3 but cost so much. The current price, even on the new one, still makes it very appetizing in my opinion.

Pros: Compactness, speed 'operational, quality' images, personalization.

Cons: brightness' in the tele side

Opinion: A little beast, which allows you to always have with you a quality 'elevata.rnIn good hands leaves walk amateur reflex and optical behind, his B are magnificent if well handled, very good combination 1.8 to 28 mm with the yield at average iso..rnPurtroppo when night falls the lens on the side canvases and 'too buia.rnOttimo the flash with your finger becomes bounch.rnComprata to EUR 200 used, THANK sony to release an update a year so' to bring down so ' so the price of this gem UNICO.rnrnOnestamente one could travel the world and take with you only if you had no ambition to be the end for anyone art.rnIdeale always want with it a quality 'high pocket, really from pOCKET.

Pros: Portability, good yield with poor lighting, great sensor for being a pocket-sized, robust (great backpack)

Cons: No viewfinder

Opinion: Socket used to have a real pocket for use in emergency, tested to me actually surprised me. I also had the rifle in a suitcase, but as often happens in vacation, you decide last minute changes and if there is anything else you snap with what's on the bag, in all situations the small rx100 helped me to bring at home the good shots. rnOnly the reflex is always the reflex and there are occasions where it can not be validly replaced, the rx 100 does not fit much for the good optics it uses, for the sensor with a good dynamic range, the raw files that it generates are easily workable and the battery life is more than dignified, the only limitation and the lack of viewfinder that remains in my opinion indispensable in some very sunny situations and to make a good start from the first click . rnPorted home with little more than two hundred euros is worth it all and I really feel a good deal.

Pros: Size, sensor 1 ", image quality, excellent raw, f1.8 at wide angle, made at high ISO, dynamic range.

Cons: no viewfinder, inability to take the screen off, ergonomics

Opinion: The Sony RX100 is a compact phenomenal. Great alternative to the SLR in the outputs "read" and in the street. At first I was undecided whether to take this or the Fujifilm X30. The choice fell on the Sony because it has a larger sensor, more megapixels, it is pocket-sized, much better performance at high ISO and best dynamic range. The only "against", for me, are: - Ergonomics is really small and it's very smooth. Consequently has a very low grip, especially for those who like myself I have great hands. (There is the possibility of buying a separate hand grip to apply. I purchased it and is very good). - Viewfinder / Display: unfortunately this first version has no viewfinder, and you can shoot just observing the scene from the screen. Consequently you can not turn off the screen. This factor could be a problem for situations in which you want to maintain maximum discretion in the street.

Pros: sharpness tascabilità

Cons: not buying it first

Opinion: You can replace an SLR? I odic yes. I always carry it in small pouch along with cellular seen compactness and I do more photos with the camera that I leave home. The reflex to use only for predetermined events or if I want to go out just for photos, in all other cases of compact go. Before I had a canon s90 held for years that I later sold, but it is not remotely comparable to the RX100 that is closer to a sensor APS-C that one 4x6 / 1.7 compact. When I go to the mountains or bike or walk always carry with a mini tripod that you never know. How many times I used to regret not having the SLR with me, now I do not regret the SLR because the RX100 comes off very well. I did several tests with canon 50d and I would say that for panoramic photos of the stand the difference between 50d and RX100 is almost the same as that between 50D and 5D MK II course using zoom handyman. The ratio of the difference of the sensor is almost identical. For portraits then I saw that the RX100 has more sharpness of the canon 50d because those mpx in pi & ugrave; then of course it is different fuzzy (and details) but not significantly different as I imagined before trying it. AF and sports photos / fauna do not know are not my thing, but to focus the pictures I found a lot of difficulties in the absence of light, many photos are blurry to me, so I assume that if he buys a lover fast AF that the camera will sell immediately because it is impossible to match or approach AF SLR. Night pictures of the stand are very well although at this juncture notice much difference with a camera, I would say that in this series, the SLR is much, much higher. I repeat yet again that I am excited about the compact I never thought that in a pocket there is such a quality. So I repeat that for the weight / quality of the photos in the first place put the compact obviously never sell the camera that gives me more emotions in the shot and then the quality is superior even if I repeat not nettamentand higher. At high ISO does very well to be a compact but as I said before an APS-C sensor performs better. I conclude by saying that I was undecided between the RX100 and a fuji x-e1 or sony nex but it is useless to have another aps-c NOT POCKET because when you have to take another pouch only for the camera that weighs 400 grams or a kilo does the Unlike then, or I go out with a camera in your pocket or better to have a camera in the old style marsupione.

Pros: Indoor photos

Cons: in the landscapes of the day I did not notice a gulf of difference from my TZ8.

Opinion: Are not up to know if and 'good as they say. For now I only did the tests, alongside some time to my old compact, the Panasonic TZ8 with which I have always enjoyed it and still I find it hard to leave. On the positive side, and 'that the purchase price of the first version and' dropped a lot thus becoming 'more accessible to many.

Pros: Large sensor for the category, very high IQ, good dynamic range, excellent noise management, raw who endure many hardships and that they work very well, slow, build quality, pocket size.

Cons: Menu is not the most simple, a bit 'slow to turn on and off.

Opinion: I got it recently for the sake of compactness, during scorrazzate with the bike from enduro.rnSono was very impressed by the performance of this compact. The sensor is probably about 1 ", gives a truly amazing performance for a machine of this type. Tolerates high iso, 1600 and 3200 are more than usable, the raw lends itself to various ill-treatment without noise, artifacts or banding . Sharpness and resolution are really high, as well as the dynamic range is amazing for a machine !!! rnrnLe dimensions are contenutissime, the weight a bit 'less, still finds place everywhere! costruttiva.rnrnInsomma Excellent quality, it really is a gem, I would have appreciated the innovations of the later models (articulated LCD, Wifi, viewfinder) but currently the price of the first version is very tempting, and the yield is the same as the later models, so also excellent cost / performance ratio!

Pros: Very high resolution in the photo. Good night in the photos. Very close to those photos of an SLR. Many of the options he has in his prog.d 'setting, even too much ... Not bad for the video since it works to 50ft / s p.

Cons: High distortion in the corners at wide angles, a bit confusing the methods in practical use, a rotating bezel around the lens useless even if it has its associated functions, obviously lacks external flash attack, although the miniflash integrated nn is bad for photos backlight to 2-3 meters, or as support, while in normal use is very soft and effective for the photos. The RX 100 is' calibrated means of diaphragm + and the photos are a bit dark, even if nn is a prb. correct it. The key as ignition is a bit dangerous even if it is hidden because it opens up the lens when you squeeze it and if it is in custody .... aiahhhh ... and I would put a key in the ignition otherwise / lever harder to activate.

Opinion: Apart from these pros and cons for those who want good pictures without having the classic weight around the neck of this reflex Rx 100 is a lot to take into consideration since it is in your pocket without any problem and the photos it does, are not those of a compact , but very much in the use of più.rnOgni you will discover some unthinkable chance to take pictures, for example. has an option to shoot handheld photos at night. To perform this opt. every click takes a photo gust reduced thanks to his prog. inside the rumore.rnrnLenta in focus ... unfortunately by a compact nn, you can ask luna.rnNegativo the fact that they pass to a successor only after 1 year .... bad peccarnNegativo the fact that with some photoshop year ago, the camera raw for the RX100 nn exists and you have to buy the latest versions with vers. Raw 7.2rnPeccato that not Rendino the prg. Raw same for all marchern

Pros: size ratio sensor / camera size, image quality, noise at high ISO, funny various automatic modes (eg hdr and filters)

Cons: front ring as a whole: projection, shape and feel to the rotation, some limitations in the settings, timing with low light and battery consumption abnormally.

Opinion: I have this camera in September 2012, I begin to talk about the merits: the image quality is excellent, as well as the sharpness. It is also one of the few compact that allows you to make the blur. Has comfortable automatic modes such as HDR and framework (which simulates the hdr but optimizes the dynamic range with a single click). Excellent colors and fast autofocus, but the display is very good but I would have liked to rotate. is the best compact, by far the best with the sensor and there are no compact with the sensor so that big unless you decide to go to the canon G1X, but increase price, size and peso.rnLa front ring is very awkward, protrudes and so has the cutting edge, you could limit the impact tilting or smoothing the edge. In addition, the feeling that the rotation is really bad because it has no shots and you have to look to force the display and move the ring lentamente.rnIl menu is unintuitive and inconvenient to use, every time you consent to asetting the camera out of the menu.rnLa timing in the case of low light if you are in aperture priority tends to go to the maximum focal length of 1/125, it may be safely below and spare a lot 'of ISO, although the noise is contenutissimo.rnLa mine was affected by an abnormal and sudden battery drain that could be observed using it for a few shots a week, to 7-8 suddenly the battery from full reports fully discharged. is a common problem (search for "battery drain" on google) and maybe it's on a menu setting but I reserve from giving an opinion, look a few more weeks to confirm (I will update the review). rnAd However, in the normal case the battery consumption is on average buono.rnMi feel to advise you, is an excellent compact camera / sensor size / image quality.
