Great job Sony!
on October 12, 2013
Posted by: Anonymous
In cause of very good, almost euphoric reviews the Sony RX100 II gained my attention. I bought the camera one month ago and after a few hundred shots I'm more and more fascinated by the image quality. Especially at night the large sensor shows its power. Noticeable are also the well working automatic scene detection and useful features at manual mode like peak mode, that marks parts of the image which are in sharp focus.
The camera body is perfectly finished, but for my taste the mode selection wheel is a little bit too stiff,
At least I have to admit that I'm missing one feature a little bit: A built in gps sensor for geotagging. But overall I can only fall in line with most of the other reviews: Great job Sony!

Beat Out Many Better Rated Cameras!
on April 2, 2014
Posted by: RockLegendsPhotoraphers
We are professional concert photographers that shoot with Sony A77s and Sony and Minolta glass. I had been searching for the perfect point and shoot to have handy for close ups when I am using my 80-200 2.8 Minolta lens on my A77 to cover close ups and wide angle shots. I read several reviews on low light point and shoot cameras thinking that I would be able to shoot with no flash and capture the images I wanted. After testing several and being disappointed with all of them I found myself testing this camera. After kicking myself in the pants wondering why I didn't just start with Sony in the 1st place I have finally found the perfect mate to our pro gear! This camera captures great images in difficult situations and the images taken in good light are every bit as good as those taken from our pro gear! It hangs nicely from my wrist while I am shooting with our larger cameras and is ready to go when I need it. When I don't need it it fits nicely in my pocket. We've captured some very professional photos with this camera!

software updates?
on September 14, 2013
Posted by: DrGlenn
I've looked at several reviews of this new Mark2 and would like to ask Sony if some of the criticisms of mode capabilities ie. auto mode only for ring based zoom options will be looked at for software updates.
See: http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/sony-cyber-shot-dsc/4505-6501_7-35807990-2.html
I've worked with a pro photographer who has the Rx100 and uses it extensively but not the M2.
Thanks

AMAZING! Great for travel.

This camera gets me so excited, I take it to the office just in case I run into some free time to take some pictures. The photo quality even on "auto" is so crisp it can make anyone a good photographer. I'm literally waiting for the day I need to take a group photo so I can just sync to my phone and take it from there instead of running back and forth #This is an issue I have often#. This camera is compact, durable, crisp, and has every function above what you would need in a point and shoot. The movie quality is excellent as well. This camera has some fun "special effects" that are nice if you do not know anything about photo editing. I'd recommend this camera to both professionals and anyone just looking for an every day camera. I love it!

What's great about it: A keeper for sure....
What's not so great: None
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Pocket Video Camera
on June 20, 2014
Posted by: DWTINSLEY
I'm a professional cinematographer who owns and operates expensive movie quality equipment. For work I typically travel with many cases of heavy gear so when it comes to documenting family vacations I rather travel with no gear. Even a dslr with lenses is too much for me. On a family vacation to North Carolina I brought my RX-100 that I've only used for filming aerials from remote helicopters. The images I got from this camera were amazing. It only films 60f/s video which is great for slow mo and it has a very fast lens. The image stabilizer combined with a smooth hand allows for great dolly moves . You won't find a better camera this small or cheaper to capture your home movies. Check out what I filmed here http://vimeo.com/93672689

Great little camera
on November 6, 2014

This is a great camera for its size. It takes great pictures, even in low light. My wife took the picture below in Carlsbad Caverns handheld, and without a flash. The electronic viewfinder is a useful addition, especially in bright light. You can get great close-ups with good bokeh too, but that's a little tricky. Excellent camera!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted a camera for indoor shots without flash in very dark situations. It performed very well. I tried 5 different cameras. The small size was another plus. I needed it for a trip "on the run " , so used it like a point and shoot, but it is a very sophisticated camera that a more advanced photographer will appreciate. Outdoor shots were beautiful too.
I would recommend this to a friend!
