Sony DSC-RX100 Reviews
Hype surrounding the new Sony DSC-RX100 has been immense, with a
single popular
reviewer commenting that the Sony DSC-RX100 is
the "best pocket camera ever." As a longtime film and digital SLR and
rangefinder shooter, I've
fairly
high expectations, and pocket cameras have in
no way truly
met those
expectations; but I persist in keeping
them around
simply
because I cannot
put
a rangefinder in my pocket, and obtaining
one
on the shelf at home
naturally
limits possibilities
to ply the craft.
Bolstered by last year's surprisingly good HX9V, I took the leap of faith and bought the RX100. I've shot about 750 frames together with the Sony DSC-RX100, and I'm certainly blown away by how much I appreciate it. This is really serious image superior, people. Outdoors, in good light, the RX100 captures A lot more detail than my Fuji X-Pro 1, with superior dynamic range and great color. The fuji has an edge as light levels decrease, but honestly--the Sony DSC-RX100 is as fantastic as the best 400 speed films of right now, and I've shot these all over the world, in all sorts of light. With the bright f1.8 lens and image stabilization the Sony DSC-RX100 could take you across the world and reward you with superb quality. Furthermore, the Carl Zeiss lens renders inside a unique, characterful way--I'd take it more than any DSLR kit lens produced. It is that very good.

Autofocus is BLAZING rapid,
tremendously correct,
and entirely
reputable.
Face detection isn't
fairly
as quickly
as I've seen
(the HX9V was quicker
to acquire
a face) however
the AF will lock on to
your target easily
adequate
even with
no "detecting the face" that it
is rarely
an
issue. This camera very
easily keeps up with my highly
active 4
year old, and that
is an impressive feat. The user interface is customizable sufficient
that I can place
the creative
controls I desire
at my fingertips, and although
Sony's nevertheless
really
feel a
little bit like computers to me vs. conventional
cameras, Sony DSC-RX100
all quite
useable to
get a regular
photographer, and
you can function
your traditional
exposure magic without
feeling like the camera is fighting you every
single step of
your way.
Negatives? Effectively, that beautiful lens is only seriously quickly at 28mm, speedily dropping to f2.8 max aperture by 35mm, and dropping from there to a fairly slow f4 at 70mm f4.9 at 100mm. I'd also actually like some kind of front grip on the camera, because the smooth finish looks sleek, but is not quite simple to hold. It could be good if Sony allowed the choice to use less-aggressive noise reduction; at a pixel level, there's some heavy processing going on, and it really is fairly noticeable. You will not see this unless you print large prints at high ISOs, although, and for those who favor this camera does shoot RAW so you have got the option of processing oneself.
Really should you purchase this camera? Yes--the initial reviews weren't just hype. Sony DSC-RX100 really is so superior it has me thinking "why have anything else?" It actually is the fact that very good. It won't do every little thing (super wide angle or super telephoto), but if I am truthful with myself, the 28-100mm range is actually a real sweet spot for travel, art, documentary, and family photography, along with the pictures I've created using the Sony DSC-RX100 are fully and entirely rewarding.
