What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 Digital Camera with 3.6x Zoom with SanDisk 32GB Memory Card

Love the size of camera and ease of how to use. Perfect for travel without the big buy camera. Picture quality very good
Easy to use and great quality for a small camera.
Great camera many features and great perfect size it works great
Great size and weight. Image quality good for a camera this small.
I like it very much, takes great quality pictures. I like that it's easy to carry size.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Digital Still Camera (Black)

Takes amazing photos, love the small pocket size..
The picture quality is amazing and whats better is the size.
The Sony cybershot RX-100M2 is a solid pocket size point and shoot, with amazing photo quality.
The camera size fits in a pocket, impressively hefty weight for its size (not a deterrent and actually gives it a very solid feel).
Its size is comfortable and easy to learn how to set the camera to settings I like.

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.
