Great Camera, alot of features
on September 15, 2014
Posted by: akira482
This is a great little camera that I purchased. The amount of options and setting in the menu are overwhelming. Most of the time I have to leave it as default. Great sharp pictures and I also like the NFC function which works with my Galaxy S4.

I'm just not sure what the competition is with this one. HIGH Quality pics, better than average video, great glass. Sharp as a tack. Manual control for those who wish, certainly good enough to use only on Auto, though. The view screen pulls out and adjusts (truly a wonderful part of this camera) to get PERFECT shots. Nothing negative about it, easy to use and can be as complex as you make it.
I don't have much else that competes directly with it's features...it's kind of like dynamite wrapped in glass...looks good, great lens, great pictures and good video, lots of control...but at the price, not something you want to drop. There's a lot going on with this small body that could get fouled up, but until that happens I'm sold!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this because I wanted a quality point and shot. It has exceeded my expectations. Great pictures, as is the video. Best part is its ability to take good pictures in low light without having to make a bunch of adjustments. I have recommended this camera to everyone that tells me they are looking for a new point and shoot. Expensive, but really worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Compact Camera
on August 6, 2013

I am NOT a professional photographer, nor do I have the experience, ability or will to fuss with a film camera. However, I have owned several digital point and shoots in the past and they all PAIL in comparison to the image quality and capabilities of the RX-100M2. Before the purchase, I was deciding between this camera and the ridiculously priced RX1 ($2800). I made the right choice. After researching and analyzing reviews, and now owning the M2, I can say with confidence that the quality of not only the photos but the camera itself (build, interface ease of use) makes it worth the $750. I can see this camera lasting quite a while and collecting fantastic photos during its lifespan. HIGHLY recommended.
What's great about it: Excellent photo quality, 24p 1080p video, intuitive interface, in-camera effects
What's not so great: Wireless transfer process
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera but....
on February 2, 2014
Posted by: MBBLA
The RX100 II is a great little camera: pocketable: Zeiss lens, exceptional build quality, nice features, quality pictures for the most part. I also have a NEX7 with the 24mm Zeiss lens and expected similar result from the RX100 II in the scene mode for sunsets as an example. That's not going to happen unless you use a tripod. In that mode, the shutter speed and ISO make hand holding the RX100 nearly impossible. Always blurry pictures vs. the NEX 7 shooting in the same mode. I find that many times unless i really dial up the ISO I am getting shutter speeds at 1/30th which prevents super sharp pictures even with the steady shot feature turned on. It would be nice if the tele zoom went to 140- 150 MM and didn't go to f4.9 in the tele mode.
Sharing pictures and sending to a smartphone even with the memories app on an iPhone is not as easy as it sounds and it needs wi-fi vs. bluetooth.
Accessories:
The camera needs a grip for man sized hands. Yet it is an accessory for $15. More important, The camera needs an accessory viewfinder for outdoor shots. The articulating screen is good and even set for daylight there is too much reflection to really compose the shot. The ACCESSORY VIEWFIDER is $449 or discounted by some stores at $349- still a great deal of money. At $699, the price of this camera is high and SONY should be making a good enough profit without gouging the customer on the viewfinder. The instruction booklet leave a lot to be desired. There's lot to learn about the capabilities of the camera beyond the list of features. The booklet that comes with he camera is not complete at all. So then you have to buy a book for $25. C'mon now. I expect more of SONY

All in all, a good camera. After all the reviews I read and spending nearly $1300 for the camera, viewfinder, battery charger, flash and grip, I probably could have considered a few other cameras. I'm going to keep it hough and continue experimenting as I believe it will probably be great....until the RX200 with built-in Viewfinder and longer telephoto range are available in June or July of this year.

Best Compact Camera By Far !
on August 7, 2013
Posted by: Anonymous
The best point and shoot camera i have ever owned by far. Very sharp and crisp pics thanks to the 1 inch sensor. It's kind of on the high side as far as the price, but it's totally worth it !
What's great about it: Big sensor, Sleek design, Very compact
What's not so great: Price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Replaced my DSLRs
on December 27, 2013
Posted by: n781lc
Downsized from DSLRs, lens, bags and accessories due to aging strength and stability. Advanced hobbyist skilled in Adobe software.
Researched numerous Compacts with attached zoom lens equal to my most used 'big ones.' Several of the top major brands had a demo day at a local full service camera store . The Sony DSC-RX100 M2 with the great glass (Carl Zeiss f/1.8-4.6), 28-100 zoom (35 mm equivalent) lens, seemed to fulfill my "wants." .. It has!
Would give 5 stars if better documentation, very minimal.
This camera has all that they say, much more than probably will ever be used, but .. there needs to be a much more detailed explanation of the extensive menu options and such uses as e.g., wireless flash, that is available with other quality devices.
Would recommend to a friend, with caveat that Sony is a VERY large and diverse company with minimum customer relations/service.

Beautiful Camera
on September 3, 2013
Posted by: Makakilo
I was a tad skeptical about the RX100-2 because of lack of wifi for Apple iOS. I had read reviews complaining about that but also professional reviews that said it was able to do wifi with iOS. To me, no wifi for iOS almost doesnt justify the additional price over the original RX-100. I took a leap of faith. Im here to say my camera works fine with my iPhone 5. You have to manually pair it via wifi..very simple. once connected, then you have to use the Play Memories app. Transfers were quick. I dont think I have the ability to control the camera with my iPhone but I really dont care about that.
Im still learning how to use the camera but I took it out for a spin the day I got it and was very happy with it. The pictures are great, I love the tilting screen. There are alot of options I still have to work though but like what I see so far.
Im thinking of springing for the electronic view finder. I like that I have the option to add that in the hot shoe.
