Like the look of the RX but could do with an even bigger sensor and four million more pixels? Then also check out the RX1, a pro grade version with an equally serious price tag. For most of us though the RX100 is as good as premium compacts get – espec...
Palm size compact that is reassuringly solid, larger than average sensor and resolution given its proportions, bright/fast lens, ability to control functions via twist of the lens ring, neatly incorporated pop-up flash, sharp results

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 doesn't come cheap, but it looks great and produces consistently first-class stills. Low-light performance can't be faulted, colour reproduction is excellent and movies are crisp, with a well-captured soundtrack. This is t...

Given the relative lack of physical buttons on the back and top of the camera body, the control ring that runs around the base of the lens is a useful addition that helps to make the camera much more enjoyable to use. Used in tandem with the Function (Fn)...
Sony RX100 review – verdict There's no doubt that the RX100 delivers the goods, but it has strong competition in the shape of the Fujifilm FinePix X20 and Canon Powershot S110. We'd advise getting hands-on with all three if at all possible, but if not, we...
There is much to like about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, not least the premium build quality and excellent handling, including the lens ring control, extensive menu and customisation options.The camera is intuitive to use, and will please both those acc...
