Manufacturing Info
Terrific
By Tirtha Banerjeeon
I bought this camera about a month ago and this is my experience so far. (I am not going to tell the specifications as other people have already mentioned it)
The Zeiss sensor and lens is just awesome. The picture quality in day light is similar to dslr. In low light situation also the images are very crisp and clear. If you zoom fully then image might blur a little but if you use a tripod or put your camera very steady then images are very clear.
Video quality is full hd and I have played one in my 32 inch full hd tv and it's exceptionally clear. Sound capture is also very good.
The camera is very compact so you can put it into your pocket (unless you are having really small pockets) and take ut anywhere you please. The camera screen is also very sharp.
Overall it's a great compact camera to have. Portability, crisp picture and full hd video are the main uso if this camera.
You can definitely buy this if those are your priority. Highly recommended.
Unprecedented Masterpiece!!!
By Laukik Parulkaron
This is truly the best pocket-able camera I have handled!
Primarily the specifications are killer!!
PROS(loooong list!)
1. 1" Carl Zeiss sensor(What an achievement!!),
2. f/1.8(WOW!! Low light and night photos are a treat!!),
3. 20 megapixels(offers fantastic detail!!)
4. auto-focus (exemplary!),
5. manual control ring(one of a kind!),
6. 3.6x optical zoom (respectable although the 7.2x clear image optical zoom offers surprisingly good performance too),
7. flexible flash (no more flash in subject's spectacles!),
8. 10 shots per second Burst Mode!! (that's superbly fast!!)
9. Panorama (best on the planet!!),
10.video at 60 fps with image stabilization (stellar!!)
11.Battery 330 shots(very very respectable!),
12.A wonderfully customizable Function button(big pro!)
13.Best part : weight 240gm!!!! (Competition's wgt begins at 400gm and above. So trulr light weight!!)
CONS
1. Biggest con I would say is no articulated screen
2. No optical VF if that's important coz the 3" Whitemagic display is definitely one of the best LCDs out there
3. No hot shoe if u have additional microphone or flash to attach
4. 7.2x zoom may look petty (but remember! 20 megapixels will offer u a gigantic photo with lots of detail anyway which makes up for this shortcoming)
Should you go this? Of course you should!!! Coz for the first time ever, u will be sacrificing about 10-15% of DSLR quality in images(not in videos coz they literally are DSLR-like!) and u will be having the amazing liberty of tucking ur camera in ur pocket instead of hanging it around ur neck all the time.
A Pocket DSLR
By Anand kumaron
there is no better point and shoot camera right now on Planet. very good low light performance, fast auto focus, great manual control on video recording. little expensive but overall if comes to features and image quality it is as good as mid range DSLR.
Magical device in your hands
By Kunal Solankion
Have clicked more then 1200 pics now and i must say this camera is killer......Did research for almost 6 months from Point & shoot to DSLR's and finally opted for this. Bought from a local store near my place. Guys if you are not professional photographer and want gr8 images like DSLR, then RX100 is the best choice for you.
Macro / Portrait / B&W / Toy mode etc,,, have clicked almost all formats and truly satisfied with this cam.
Suggestions :
1) Buy 16/32 GB sandisk superspeed : 45 mbps card.
2) Click photos in RAW format and later edit with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2 to get excellent results
3) Buy Sony LCJ-RXA case from ebay.com to ease of use.
you can view quality of photos on my website : kunalnsolanki.wix.com/sublimeshots
Highly recommended !!!
SLRs are only for Santa Claus
By Gaurav Upadhyayon
The RX100 from Sony is simply the best point and shoot camera in the word today, the best point and shoot every built. Don't trust me? Just google it out and then you will. I'll keep the review and comparison short, won't get much technical, so just 2 things for the RX100 :
1) SLR quality images, even tough,
2) it fits in your pocket.
But if you are someone who is okay with carrying a few KGs of baggage (including SLR camera, lenses, extra batteries, the carry bags etc), then you may continue to burden yourself for a little bit of extra clarity that SLR would offer.
But, for most practical situations, like vacations, family functions, parties etc, this is the camera that you can take with you. What good is a SLR if you don't feel like carrying it with you because it is so bulky? The vacations should be to relax, not for carrying all the SLR related weight around.
However, if you are a very, veRY, VERY serious photographer, you may stick to your SLR, as they still offer a little better photographs, given that you can carry the camera with you. Once of my friend (serious photographer) got neck sprains just by carrying his SLR+fitted lens from morning till night, while we were on a vacation.
This camera kicks some serious ***... Paronama, 1 inch CMOS sensor, 20 MP, amazing light sensitivity(low light pics are amazing), very high true resolution, amazing aperture, High Dynamic Range support, 1080p video recording... phew, i'm tired of writing all the good things this little guy has.
time to get some sleep.. and dream about the Sony RX100..

RX100 II
By Skon
A brilliant camera from Sony. Amazing and superb quality images and videos. For professionals and home users it suits everyone.
Sony Cybershot RX100 M2
By Rameshaon
This is not a simple aim and shoot camera. You need to know some photography before you take the photos. Not happy with popup flash. Little confused on which mode to set and what option to select. Tilt LCD not good for taking selfie..
WIFI and NFC make it Delightful
By Manish4511on
What I like most about RX100 II is that I can pair it with my smartphone and therefore can share the files with my friends and family instantly. Thanks to the in-built Wi-Fi and NFC in the camera. Keeping all the features in my mind, I don't feel I have made a wrong choice. I used DSLR in my college days and I always dreamed to have one. But RX100 II best suited to my budget. I bought it from Snapdeal.com and really thank them for making timely delivery. I believe if you are a photo enthusiast, you can consider buying RX100 II for yourself.
Excellent Battery Backup
By Jagriti Khandelwalon
Excellent image quality, great low light performance and the enhanced battery support – these are the prime factors of my camera that impressed me the most. Whether I was clicking in the broad day light or in a cloudy weather, I always clicked my subjects as beautiful as I saw it with my naked eyes. I mean to say, the rich colour tone and the right level of brightness produced great images. It clicks great landscapes and portraits for me. In fact, my friends call me a Close-Up specialist. I don't know how far this is true but I will give all the credit to my RX100 II.
