great addition to my shooting gears
on November 30, 2013
Posted by: don2
I produce a video travel show for China YOUKU web site. Have been shooting with the NEX5N/VG20+various E-mount lens. Testing the RX10 for couple of weeks and are impressed by its all-in-one, IQ, swiss-army-knife features. The zoom range, zeiss IQ, mic in, audio monitor, ND filter, silent power zoom, macro, etc., everything that we need is there.
Complaints? the power zoom is a little bit slow, battery can last longer, AVCHD codec can be better. But for this price, I am happy with what I got. Was considering a FS700 (much more expensive), but still prefer the more compact & light weight gears.
Starting to use RX10 as the main A-cam for most occasions, while using the NEX5N or VG20 as B-cam, for more structured shots with various lens.
Did some video test between RX10 & NEX5N, was very impressed with the result. The video link is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcczqyStirw

btw, just received a7R+FE2.8/35 this week. The full frame sensor definitely create a whole new real estate for expression. Took both cameras to shoot a concert gig last night; I must say the RX10 is simply much more handy & practical, especially for situations where you don't have the time nor energy to keep switching lens.

A Very Powerful P&S Camera - Great Results
on September 28, 2014
Posted by: BillsCameraReview
I received the DSC-RX10 as a Birthday Gift from my wife in February 2014, when the pricing was at $1,300. I had yearned for this product ever since its announcement and initial reviews. It's now late September 2014, and I have utilized this Camera (along my other Cameras) to a very fair degree.
Results: It is lightning fast in capturing an image whether you utilize one of the Cameras internal auto or scene settings, or you set your own Speeds, Aperture, etc. Color capture is absolutely excellent, as are the details the 1" Sensor is capable of picking up. I utilize an AF 18-135 Kit Lens which does the job all the way around, and provides some 8.3x Zoom power. I love this product.
There are a couple things that I have noticed that could be improved: (1) The Captured Image "processing time" is rather slow in time. I utilize SDHC 40/mbs - 90/mbs Class 10 Cards with the timing not much different. If you Zoom your Lens back in "right after" taking your shot, the Camera LCD automatically displays the "Monthly Calendar" of photos taken! You must wait for your image to be processed which can take 1-3 seconds for even a single shot - not a multi shot setting. (2) If your shot pointed slightly up, or down, at your object you will see preverbal "Rounding of the Corners" (there's a word for it, that I just can not immediately recall at the moment of this review writing).
SONY in general, needs to greatly improve their "Detailed User Guides Manuals". You know, the 250+page types containing all the functionalities of usage. Sony uses a cascading type format that is only accessible through a PC or other electronic means, and IS NOT in a traditional Book Type Format the way we all access information. Another words even though you can download these Manuals in a PDF format, you still you can not simply look at their detailed Manuals, and hope to Print a Hard Copy in a Book type format - must access things via electronic means. Yes you CAN print a page or two at a time, but Sony (and other companies) have cheapened the way Owners/Users have access to the usage of the purchased products. Of course Sony NO LONGER provides a Disc (CD) with their products - even this rather pricy Camera product. Also note that as of July 1, 2014, Sony reduced the price of this Camera model to $999 - a $300 drop versus what we paid just a couple months prior. Not real happy about that!
I give this product a 5 Star rating because its ability to provide excellent photos, and impeccable live action movies that are some of the best I have ever seen, or used. I utilize other brands of DSLR's, and Sony Alpha DSLT's, and other higher end P&S products. This RX10 is right at the top of the list in my experience, I love it.
Improved "detailed" User Manuals and start re-including a CD's is something Sony should and could do better at.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrific Camera
on September 26, 2014
Posted by: 32Groove
The DSC-RX10/B has far exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy with its performance (both still and video). The image quality is stellar. The large F2.8 maximum aperture throughout the expansive 24-200 zoom range has given me tremendous opportunities to express my vision. I'm so happy with the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens. It is flawless. Also,there is something magical about the Bionz X processor. Every image captured seams richer, fuller, capturing unexpected detail, even in low light. Yep, I love this camera.

Great Camera

The photos from this camera are superb. I took a number of pictures at the West Palm Safari. The clarity, speed and overall results are wonderful. One of the best cameras I have ever owned. I thought it was expensive but once owning it worth every penny.

Incredible, perfect photos in every situation
on September 26, 2014
Posted by: KeithA
I've owned many cameras over the years. This camera offers a great combination of features which lets one lens do it all, and do it exceptionally. There is a lot to be said for a camera that no matter what the situation or conditions, always results in a perfect photo. If you like pro SLR cameras, this camera offers a punch in the single lens, which makes it so much easier to haul around, and no switching lenses.
I wish the zoom ring was manual rather than electronic, that has been my only pet peeve about this camera, but it's not a big deal as I've been very pleased about the pictures it has taken.
The sensor is incredible. I've gotten great photos in low light, with rich detail that I would expect from a high end DSLR. This is also the most feature rich camera I have had also, which makes for a lot of value for the price.

Set it to auto and get great pictures with the Zeiss lens. As I have owned it I have slowly learn to set the program-function to my preferences and also there are 2 custom tabs of one I have set to take "watercolor" shots and the other Macro with fine tuning. Video is super cool and smooth with very good color and wonderful clarity. Great panorama shots which I use more because it does so well. This camera will take time to learn even half of the functions but the reward is outstanding photographs and fun ways to customize pictures. I am not easy on my camera and it has held up well with excellent battery life, example; recently took 350 pictures and battery was still 56% unreal Sony. It is the portability of this camera that is the biggy for me.
