Don't let its small size fool you. The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 II is capable of capturing beautiful photos and movies. It's not cheap, but it's the best compact camera you can buy if image quality is your main concern.
Beautiful photos and movies; f/1.8 3.6x zoom; Tilting 3-inch LCD screen; Wi-Fi with NFC
100mm on tele-end a bit limited; Full aperture range only at wide-angle; Slow shutter speed; Poorly placed red-dot video button
