This is a great travel camera. Easy to use, fast operation. It doesn't feel like a real camera and that's actually a good thing. Some compact and fixed lens cameras (like Fuji's) try too hard to be like a DSLR or mirrorless body and they are really cumbersome to use. Not the RX100. Just point and shoot.The faster lens is the ONLY reason to pick the VA over the VII. If the lens on the VII seems MAYBE too slow for you, think carefully before you pick the VA because the VII has quite a few more features to make up for the slow lens.

I wanted a small compact camera for carrying with me at all times plus whilst on my bicycle. The small size if the RX100 plus the 1" sensor steered me twoards it.So far I am most pleased with it. The still images, both JPEG and RAW are better than I expected. The 4K video is outstanding and the 1080P is even better in my view.I wear glasses and the viewfinder works fine with them.If you need a small camera that is easily carried everyday then the RX100 may be what you need.

Bought this to replace a RX100 Mark 1 which finally gave up after about 9 years of moderate use -- so not too bad.The RX100 V(A) is a notable upgrade in usage, with the built in viewfinder and tilt-able screen, and much enhanced focus system including face / eye recognition in partficular.Very promising reviews and marks for the sensor performance too - though I haven't yet done much post processing.Generally a very good feature balance against the competition (I heavily prioritise quality and therefore sensor size personally, as the user of a semi-pro mirrorless "SLR" for when i'm in even more enthusiast mode - which makes normal compacts with smaller sensors look really poor.I like the balance of features here compared to later models too - as I said I ... MoreBought this to replace a RX100 Mark 1 which finally gave up after about 9 years of moderate use -- so not too bad.The RX100 V(A) is a notable upgrade in usage, with the built in viewfinder and tilt-able screen, and much enhanced focus system including face / eye recognition in partficular.Very promising reviews and marks for the sensor performance too - though I haven't yet done much post processing.Generally a very good feature balance against the competition (I heavily prioritise quality and therefore sensor size personally, as the user of a semi-pro mirrorless "SLR" for when i'm in even more enthusiast mode - which makes normal compacts with smaller sensors look really poor.I like the balance of features here compared to later models too - as I said I value quality, so a 1.8 max aperture and good lens are definitely better than a superzoom you see on the M6 and 7 for my purposes (I won't be upgrading to those ever -- not good enough max aperture and probably more compromised lens quality to reach those lengths).The negatives -- battery life not great (but spares are reasonably cheap) - and it REALLY should come stock with the GR2 grip.... the design without it is FAR too slippery in the hand.

I have a Nikon DSLR and wanted something smaller, quieter and more convenient as a travel and pocket camera that was also noticeably better in image quality and capability than the series of inexpensive Canon Powershots I'd been using. It was a close call between this Sony RX-100 and the Canon G9X Mark II. I was won over to the Sony by the size of the sensor, the lens, and the slightly longer (but still not quite long enough) zoom.In reverse order, I wanted to avoid the 40+x zoom lenses that some manufacturers offer, and the lens shake and image degradation that goes with those extremely long lenses mounted on what will most of the time be hand-held cameras. Something around 125mm-140mm (35mm equivalent) would have been ideal, but the Canon only goes to 85mm and ... MoreI have a Nikon DSLR and wanted something smaller, quieter and more convenient as a travel and pocket camera that was also noticeably better in image quality and capability than the series of inexpensive Canon Powershots I'd been using.

Something around 125mm-140mm (35mm equivalent) would have been ideal, but the Canon only goes to 85mm and this Sony only goes to 100mm. Adequate for most circumstances, but for me, not quite long enough.The Zeiss lens on this RX-100, however, is fantastic, and is the camera's saving grace. Clear, sharp images are the rule rather than the exception, and it opens up to f1.8, which makes it superb for low-light photography – an area where low-cost digital cameras (and phone cameras) typically fall on their collective faces. I've been using it to photograph grandkids' karate lessons in a studio using typical fluorescent office lighting, and the images, with ISO set at 1600, are excellent, with virtually no noise, and needing only a little color correction for the fluorescent lights.It's a good thing the lens is fantastic because the layout of the back of the camera is annoying in the extreme. The screen/viewfinder is fine, with sharp images from which to work, but about half the time, when I press the shutter button, nothing happens because my thumb has inadvertently touched one of the several buttons clustered around the rotary function wheel next to the viewfinder, and I find myself staring at screens I've never seen before, and don't want to use. Instead of taking pictures, I find myself fumbling around, wondering where THAT screen came from, and trying to figure out (sometimes unsuccessfully) how to get rid of it. People with smaller hands and fingertips may not be bothered, but at 6' 1" and about 200 lbs, I'm not THAT large, and the various buttons are too close together and too sensitive for my purposes. If the lens wasn't so good, I'd have sent the camera back to B&H. As it is, I have to frequently remind myself to be very careful about where I'm putting my fingertips and the tip of my thumb, and I still mess it up with regularity.I was afraid the artificial shutter noise would distract from candid photography, but the fake shutter noise is minimal on this camera, and unobtrusive. Menus are straightforward, for the most part, and lots of customization is possible, but again, the buttons are too sensitive, and are too close together for comfortable use. There's not much shutter lag, so that's OK, and battery life seems pretty good, with at least a couple hundred images between charges. Video is of decent quality, as well, though the RX-100 is not even in the same league as a "regular" or "real" video camera, but it works fine as the informal, offhand recorder of family activities, etc.In short, I give the camera 5 stars for image quality, and two stars for ease of use and ergonomics. Three stars is the best I can do as an overall rating.
As a camera, the Sony RX100 VI packs a huge amount of facilities into a small space. Provided you are happy to work through a fairly complex menu structure the camera itself delivers a wide range of features to a high standard.Having owned an earlier version of the RX100, one of my reasons for buying this model was its heavily-promoted ability to use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions to save, transfer and view images, as well as adding smartphone location information to images. All of this is supposed to be done through Sony's app PlayMemories Mobile.The app simply does not work. This is confirmed by the dismal experience of other users which is evident from user forums.

I wish I had checked the user forums before I made my purchase. I tried Sony's other imaging app, Imaging Edge Mobile, with no better results. Having believed Sony's marketing literature, and read a number of product reviews before I made my purchase, I am surprised that the product reviews were silent on the performance of these apps.I can't believe that the brand as big and trusted as Sony has let itself down by a combination of over-hyped marketing claims coupled with dismal apps. Sony should face up to this and urgently fix their apps so that they work as intended.For me, I have to face the hard fact that I am now left with a new camera which does not do the one thing which I wanted it to do.
I'm a novice in the world of photography- but take loads of pictures across a wide range of subjects. My DSLR recently packed in, so I bought this as a convenient substitute because of its high spec and being easy to carry. It has loads of technical features which I am determined to master. Downside for me - two points- the shutter button is too small and at night in December its difficult to use sensitively. I've already bought and applied the stick on side grip to make it more secure to hold. Plus the photo download is tedious on my phone but easier on ipad. Ziess lens is amazing.
Having to drop from a DSLR due to Ill health LCE Derby recommended this camera, I was unsure if the sensor being a one inch format ( not a physical one inch size) would give me the results but as a long term customer I was happy to give it a go; here’s what I found:-The electronic viewfinder is top notch clear and dare I say better for information on screen than my previous DSLR.Very compact with the fast 24-70 lens.You do have to be careful with menu and tiny buttons.Focus is great and the fitted case is worth getting to complement it.It came with an out of date software that windows 11 wouldn’t download but a bit of digging found that it was updated and renamed,Having used it for a couple of months great interior and portrait shots but I can’t help ... MoreHaving to drop from a DSLR due to Ill health LCE Derby recommended this camera, I was unsure if the sensor being a one inch format ( not a physical one inch size) would give me the results but as a long term customer I was happy to give it a go; here’s what I found:-The electronic viewfinder is top notch clear and dare I say better for information on screen than my previous DSLR.Very compact with the fast 24-70 lens.You do have to be careful with menu and tiny buttons.Focus is great and the fitted case is worth getting to complement it.It came with an out of date software that windows 11 wouldn’t download but a bit of digging found that it was updated and renamed,Having used it for a couple of months great interior and portrait shots but I can’t help thinking I should have had the longer zoom version.The grey skies on landscape images however does tend even on raw not to hold much detail. It could be me though.Can’t review sound or video as I don’t shoot it.
The small size means I can carry it in a pocket (though I do put it in a lens pouch to keep dust out). The optional AGR2 grip is essential to stop me dropping it if I use it one handed. The image quality is excellent and 20Mp is more than enough, so images can be cropped quite heavily if necessary. The zoom range is from 24mm (unnecessarily wide, I would settle for 28mm) to 200mm which will pick out detail in landscapes or buildings. Not enough for bird photography but it will do nearly everything else. There is no macro setting on the lens and the maximum aperture is a bit low for hand held low light photos. I haven't used the viewfinder as much as I thought I would - probably because I wear glasses - but the tilting screen is so useful for waist level, ground ... MoreThe small size means I can carry it in a pocket (though I do put it in a lens pouch to keep dust out).

I haven't used the viewfinder as much as I thought I would - probably because I wear glasses - but the tilting screen is so useful for waist level, ground level or above your head shots. Also the brightness can be set to 'sunny day' for better visibility. Also useful are the memory recall options for favourite settings. These include zoom length, reducing the time it takes to go from 24 when it's switched on to wherever on the range you actually want for the shot. I've reprogrammed the buttons to get quickly to all the menu settings I need - the only one which can't be changed unfortunately is the 'Movie' button, which I don't use. A spare battery is essential when you're out for the day and they are very small and light. I use an off-camera charger so I don't ever have to stop using the camera. I'm still practising with the focussing - it seems very fast and accurate.
"It's simply a camera that does everything you would want a camera to do: excellent image quality, a sufficiently large sensor, outstanding aperture up to f/1.8, 4k 30fps video capability, supports raw photos and s-log videos, integrated ND filter, hundreds of customizable features, convenient controls with the ring on the lens, built-in flash, integrated OLED viewfinder... all in a pocket-sized product, smaller than a smartphone... exceptional!The only drawback, if I have to be nitpicky, is the limited 70mm focal length (it's 200mm in newer versions, but they losed the ND filter, which I consider indispensable). If they combined the 200mm with the ND filter, it would undoubtedly be the ultimate camera."
Camera really exceeded my expectations in every way. I got this as a replacement for my broken Ricoh GR and was concerned about loss of dynamic range and increased noise on the smaller sensor. This camera actually, somehow, blows away the GR in all aspects of image quality, plus has the versatility of the zoom lens... and wow that lens! The Zeiss branding is not just a marketing gimmick. It has every bit of Zeiss pop and beautiful rendering I'd expect from an interchangeable Zeiss lens. Also nice to have standard Sony controls and menu layouts that I'm used to from the A7iii and iv.Attached images are single exposure, just to give you an idea of the truly impressive dynamic range.All around thrilled with purchase.
