What customers say about "Imaging"
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom with SanDisk 32GB Memory Card
- RX100 advantages does have faster auto focus, in superior auto you do not need to physically hit a switch to go in between macro and auto focus.
- Any fast moments, sports, children running, may present an issue, because in my opinion, the focus is a little slow.
- Excellent image quality and solid ISO performance
- he 1-inch CMOS makes the ISO of 800 (or even 1600 sometimes) highly useable; the maximum aperture of 1.8 gives bokeh effects.
- The image quality is very good, but after using it for 1 1/2 years the lens would not retract or close. There seems to be serveral issues like this going on.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Digital Still Camera (Black)
- Great image quality even at higher ISO's. Menu system a bit clunky, but once you get set up, it is a great compact camera with a lot of SLR type features.
- Once familiar with camera find images very impressive. Though I favor RAW was surprised how good JPG images are.
- Image quality is perfect, and it is relatively easy to use.
- So I purchased this camera along with the Fuji x70, I decided to keep the RX100ii because the image quality is great for the size of this camera.
- I do have some trouble with night time images, but I think I just need to dig a little more into the features.

What customers say about "Display"
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom with SanDisk 32GB Memory Card
- All I needed was a screen to flip up while I vlog. But thats alright. It takes great pics of all my food(I am a vegan food blogger)
- There isn't any big reason to go for the RX100 II or III, unless you want a tilting screen, wifi, or built-in EVF. The RX100 I is still capable.
- The lcd screen has a dark blue or black coating that starts to peel after a while and some of the buttons lay to flush against the body making them hard to press.
- The screen does scratch easily, buy a protector sheet. It is very expensive, as much as a DSLR body really. I
- Screen hard to see in direct sunshine, despite WhiteMagic technology
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Digital Still Camera (Black)
- Only had a standard 3" LCD screen no viewfinder but has not been a problem especially with tilt screen. This is my 10th digital camera and the best ever.
- I am now upgrading to the RX 100 V because of the 4K video recording capability and the flip up LCD screen.
- The display tells the aperture and shutter speed, and that I'm using Auto-ISO, but it doesn't tell me which ISO it has chosen.
- Excellent screen resolution, more like a retina display.
- If i had the choice i would purchase the first RX100.i think with the rx 2 and 3 your just paying for the lcd screen

What customers say about "Features"
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom with SanDisk 32GB Memory Card
- Enough features to do more than just point and shoot althouh it does a good job at that. More current models have a bit more but at a higher price.
- This is a great compact camera that comes with professional features and manual controls to take high-quality pictures and videos.
- The features available for users to customize their shooting experience are fantastic and the quality of the photos taken are unsurpassed.
- Still have not used all the modes of shooting but on auto its great
- Camera overheats quickly in video mode within 4 mins to 30 mins. I would recommend this but just be aware of the overheat issue with the camera.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Digital Still Camera (Black)
- Great features. Traded down sized from a Nikon D 90 to have a camera with all the features I need.
- The pictures are so clear and looks amazing! I love the dslr features! So happy with the investment and I take it everywhere I go.
- There are a few features though that I believe they could have put into it that would have made this camera a true "value" like gps tagging and a better optical zoom.
- Though I have not yet gone through all the features, this camera is the best I had for a long time.
- Mostly good pictures, but annoying gross lack of focus in pre-set scene "SCN" modes, especially SCN-Portrait and SCN-Macro modes. SCN modes take over all settings and should therefore take care of everything.

What customers say about "Connectivity"
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom with SanDisk 32GB Memory Card
- It even has a little icon showing you the status the Eyefi car, if it is uploading or connected to a hotspot of not.
- Amazing quality. Just wish I had opted for the slightly higher model that had wifi, so I could connect to my smartphone.
- I wish I had the WiFi connectivity for a remote shutter which you can used via an iPhone.
- It is missing the wireless connectivity but you can use the eye-fi sd card like I do and no issues so far.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Digital Still Camera (Black)
- Love the size and convenience of high quality pictures , HD video and wifi , so that you may transfer your media to your other devices all in one package.
- So far So Good!! Small and portable! Wi-fi connection very user friendly. Exactly what I was looking for!
- I love this camera! It takes the best pictures yet it is so light. It has wifi capabilities to allow easy transferring.
- This is even better than the Sony DSC-RX100 (the first of the series). For example better low light capabilities, hot shoe, and built in WiFi.
- The build In wifi make it a breeze to post pics on social media. A great buy indeed.
