      Conclusion
      The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 takes pictures that are often comparable in quality to an SLR or a mirrorless camera. In fact, depending oh what lens you use, the RX100 can even prove superior. Although there's scope for nit-picking, as far as expert compacts go, only the much bulkier Canon G1 X isn't completely crushed by this new arrival. Sony has raised the stakes for its competitors: from now on, this is the kind of quality we'll expect from expert compacts!
      Pros

      +

      Unrivalled picture quality for a compact camera (sensitivity, sharpness at wide-angle settings)

      +

      Good build quality and design (lens ring, settings wheel) with plenty of customisable features

      +

      Good responsiveness once it's running

      +

      Full HD, 50 fps video with stereo sound
      Cons

      -

      Lens quality could be a little more consistent at telephoto settings

      -

      Start-up is a bit on the slow side

      -

      Battery life (330 photos, compared with 400 for the Panasonic LX5)
