Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II review
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 excited by this latest version of the RX100.
Excellent image quality; customisable lens ring glides with silky smooth motion; solid build quality; great WRGB LCD screen; can add viewfinder if desired; decent image quality throughout the range; small and pocketable body considering 1-inch sensor size; f/1.8 maximum aperture at widest-angle
Pricey; no built-in neutral density (ND) filter; f/1.8-4.9 maximum aperture range may feel limited at longer focal lengths; rear buttons are small; no focus-distance in manual focus; generalised focus area in low-light conditions; response time lags in menus; no physical AF/MF switch
