This camera takes amazing pictures and great videos

It took great pictures even as we drove along in the tour bus

I've never had a camera that was so easy to use and took such great pictures

But the pictures are bright, vivid, and clear

The camera produces very crisp and detailed pictures

Unlike most cameras on Auto, the Sony takes stellar pictures...consistently

Amazing picture quality (compared to my compact Canon point and shoot).

The quality of the pictures are excellent, the Carl Zeiss lens is amazing, it's easy to use, the ISO is perfect, color rendition is spot on, Auto Focus is crazy, the B&W pictures it takes are really nice, screen big and colorful, and the sharpness is perfect

I'd prefer a focus indicator that doesn't distort the picture you are trying to compose.

One huge drawback in this camera and all cameras without viewfinder is composing pictures in the sun

This camera is more than adequate to get 'fantastic' pictures in all conditions (indoor, low light night clubs, outdoor, fast moving kids, sports)

But if you're like me, you may find it's the perfect camera for capturing all those terrific pictures you would have missed because you didn't want to bother taking a 'real' camera with you.

Takes great pictures and videos

I love the fast lens which takes great pictures in difficult low light situations.

I was taking terrible pictures in manual mode.

Takes good pictures of the baby

A little pricey but worth it in my opinion for the great pictures!

It takes very good pictures and that is what I wanted.

The pictures looked a little too sharp and did not look real

And the pictures are awesome.

Most fun to use, great picture quality, pocket sized

It is fast and takes great pictures and has every manual setting that a serious photographer could want

While the SONY DSC-RX100 camera was fun to use and took good pictures, ours was a lemon from the start

Great pictures, RAW conversion software poor

I am not a pro, just a grandma who travels and wants to take the best pictures of grandkids and low light European churches and museums with a camera that fits in my small purse

Great pictures and pocket sized

I can imagine the possibility of the "on" button getting pushed when the lens had no place to go; maybe that would cause mechanical damage, first, to ruin macro mode, and later, to make picture-taking fail completely.

Result: No usable pictures.

I'm not a professional photographer, but I do know a good picture when I see one

It's compact and takes good pictures (even better pictures if you know what you're doing)

I am not a pro and only use it on the auto mode and it takes great pictures.

Actually, this camera takes beautiful pictures

I have used it for the past week and the pictures that it produces are amazing

The picture quality rivals good entry level DSLR cameras even at higher ISO settings.

Still learning to use all the settings but the picture and video quality is great!

Picture is clear and bright

Great camera that takes superb pictures

Since buying this camera, I've shot some wonderful pictures of things that happened spontaneously in front of me

The panoramic option takes great pictures

If you are looking for great picture quality in a tiny package and shoot mostly auto, this is the best camera you can buy.

Even it will take rotten pictures if in the wrong hands

I usually don't use a tripod and the pictures are very clear.

The picture showed all my clothes hanging there plain as day.

I can also take pictures in very low light conditions with alot less noise and blur that the LX series can't handle

For me what is crucial is the pocketability of my cameras, and sure there are many many compromises (1 inch sensor, etc), but for such a small camera the pictures are amazing.

Takes very fast pictures, with little to no blur.

It takes amazing pictures and is user friendly

Wonderful point and shoot camera, perfect travel camera with clear pictures.

It takes excellent quality pictures, and still fits in my pocket!

But this camera take amazing pictures in Jpeg right out of the camera.

This camera takes incredible pictures from a technical perspective

This compact point and shoot takes amazing pictures and has a fast shutter speed.

This is the camera what I was looking for to make VERY good pictures in very bad light conditions

Your iPhone takes great pictures for 4" x 4" prints

To start with some good things: RX100 will give you excellent video and pictures of landscape/buildings on a nice sunny day

Other things that I like are three memory settings, black and white pictures, fun special effects similar to apps on smartphones, function button, the ring of course, clean night pictures, great image stabilization (I was taking sharp handheld pictures of waterfalls with 1/3 sec shutter speed), did I mention pocket size and backpacking friendliness

I just want the camera to take superb pictures just by using the auto function.

Pocketability, great images, great low light pictures and astounding videos

A good picture is unexpected, and depends more on the eye of the photographer than the equipment s/he is using.

For its size, it delivers amazing pictures and the videos are excellent.

I needed this as a backup and something with great picture quality to keep in my van at all times

A good picture is unexpected, and depends more on the eye of the photographer than the equipment s/he is using.

I take one good overall picture and the picture can be zoomed in to see the stitches.

The built in carl zeiss lens delivers superb pictures with very good sharpness overall

The Panasonic LX might take better bright light pictures and may have superior optics.

This camera will good for the one that want to upgrade from small coolpix camera and want to take a better picture but still easy to used, still point and shoot

No point in my reiterating what is on dozens of other blogs/reviews on the overall quality of the camera, suffice it to say that it is fast and responsive and takes great pictures of fast-moving kids even in low light conditions

Very sharp pictures, even in low light.

A great way to introduce someone to photography IMO.A great camera for anyone looking to take great pictures with something that fits in a large pocket

My RX100 is absolutely and utterly silent thru picture taking

This helps getting good pictures on a nice sunny day where you can clearly see the power of this sensor

I was reluctant to spend over $600 on a pocket camera, considering the thousands of dollars of equipment I own, including a $70 Lumix that fits in a shirt pocket and takes excellent pictures

The camera is simple enough that my wife (who hates to take pictures) actually likes using the camera

I'm truly an amateur and usually have crappy luck with cameras but this is easy to use and takes super pictures of people and places

These things matter to me in a camera:Must create great pictures with accurate color.

Outside in bright daylight the pictures are pretty good, but hey so are the pictures from my cell phone

But even that can be compensated in a way as the 20MP leaves room to get good enough pictures after good amount of cropping

Best pictures in a compact

this camera fits in your pocket and takes great pictures.

Sure, it doesn't take pictures that rival a full-frame camera, and it cant be fitted with a 400 mm lens, but it does take great quality pictures, with a bevy of artistic options from which to choose

In fact, I'm pretty sure this camera is magic, because I took it into my dark garage, took a picture, and it corrected the exposure so well that it was as if the light was on.

If Sony wants users to take great pictures, give us the information needed.

and I like that I can use the auto function and take great pictures at the same time switch to manual and practice

Takes great pictures and has some really cool features like panorama and a steady shot without a tripod feature that comes in handy in dimly lit cathedrals

I bought this camera for a trip to France because I wanted a camera that took great pictures, but without all the bulk of an SLR and all the lenses that come with it.

But the 1 inch sensor of this camera takes amazing pictures in all light conditions.

First it does take great pictures, especially at night

I'm not recommending this camera to anyone because I don't want to loose my bragging rights to great pictures that I take

I bought a Sony RX-100 9 months ago and it took great pictures

It takes great pictures, esp when I'm with others who don't have their DSLRs with them when we hang out

It produces great pictures and is extremely compact and easy to transport.

The picture quality rivals good entry level DSLR cameras even at higher ISO settings.

The camera takes fine pictures, in line with expectations based on specs and description

I love it and the pictures are great

It truly takes much sharper pictures that are comparable to DSLRs, and because of the multi-shot "aggregation" feature, HDR features and panning panorama features, this Sony goes well beyond an everyday DSLR camera with a bright lens.

So far I love the pictures I have taken.

Can't wait to get update to Adobe LIghtroom that supports RAW pictures of this camera

Like having 3 programmable modes.- Stability - I thought the default 1/30 shutter would be too slow but most pictures appear sharp.----------------Here is what I view as the incredibly dumb decisions

We took some really good pictures with and we're extremely happy with quality of the photos.

Takes great pictures.

My canonSX50hs takes excellent pictures right out of the box

This camera produces great pictures.

Really good pictures

easy to work, takes great pictures.

Clear pictures from a camera that fits in my purse

Great pictures, RAW conversion software poor

I had good pictures any way, manual mode is good, love the HDR

Then I realized as a casual photographer who's interested in taking good pictures, it is a heavy investment in cameras to just be able to take casual photos that look nice

I just love it, the pictures are very clear.

The different modes make for taking great pictures fairly easily, and the manual mode allows for even more customization

This camera really provides great pictures, without requiring a BS in photographic arts

It feels good at hand, the pictures are magnificent, and the range of abilities is pretty stunning.i use it in "intelligent auto" mode and am quite pleasantly surprised at how well it stitches together multiple pictures

The pictures and effects are great too

I'm just an amateur but the pictures from this camera are stunning

I want a camera that takes super great pictures on automatic or be able to have many options available to use it in the manual mode, be lightweight and small enough to put in a pocket and this sure meets all of my needs

The sony actually had an advantage of have more of the eye in focus (thanks to the smaller sensor!).One limitation to this camera is that you can't do macro on any focal length other than the widest end!Oh and one other thing, setting up a custom white balance on this sony is three times faster than my 5D MK III.Dynamic range is also very decent from a pocket camera (both highlights and shadows).**UPDATE: I've noticed that pictures look horrible when i bump up the iso over 1600 all the way to 6400

Although I have been fairly satisfied with their results, I've been wanting to upgrade to a camera with better picture quality (larger sensor), but have resisted getting a heavy, bulky DSLR

Now I have no excuses and not to mention my wife loves taking picture even more with the new RX100.

My wife and I have 2 kids now, and most always took one of the Canons with us since they're so small and take great pictures as well.

I LOVED being able to carry it in my pocket knowing that it can take as good a picture as most of the massive DSLRs I saw other people lugging around.

I’m not a pro and I could get really amazing pictures with this (in auto mode).

and I had to erase one picture at a time which took very long time to do

I also love some of the "instagram" like presets that do cool things like shoot a picture entire in black and white, but include only a single color (green, blue etc.).

Superb picture quality and packs a lot of features.

Low light pictures look good blown up or printed

The pictures from it are excellent

it's the size of a deck of cards, but takes pictures like a DSLR.

BUT the pictures are amazing.

I now find my self using this capability much more than not, with the result of more crisp pictures than when just relying on the AF.My only disappointment so far... seems like the flash is a bit harsh (so I try to avoid using it as much as possible), but

It takes fantastic high resolution pictures at 20 megs.

It usually takes good, clear pictures

Where the RX100 shines is the faster auto focus being able to snap multiple pictures at once and choosing the best picture of the bunch it snaps

All around I love this camera, it's perfect for someone who just wants to take good pictures

Lastly, taking good pictures is all about EYE.

It takes great pictures

But do realize in real world situations a faster auto focus, image stabilization will generally snap you a better picture than a camera with slower auto focus especially when you are using auto mode on these two cameras

It takes great pictures

In fact, I have never seen a good picture coming out of this camera (had two) on the zoom end

Almost half the pictures didn't turn out well.

If you want a crystal clear picture with correct colors, you really need to buy a camera with a better lens.

Great camera and love the pictures that come out of it!

It takes great pictures

Anti-blur setting works well, in fact enabling super zoom pictures through the single eyepiece of a pair of 10X50 binoculars (with the camera set at about 3.5X zoom).

This would be fine if the optical image stabilization actually worked well like it does on other cameras, but it's unfortunately not very effective and you'll get blurry pictures if you're shooting handheld.2)

It was light and it took great, high-quality pictures.

The low light pictures are phenomenal.

Great pictures for its small size.

I love the picture setting effects that you shoot

It's a great way to take good pictures on the go

The pictures and video from this compact camera are amazing

If you just want to take great pictures, and want to always have your camera in your

It takes awesome pictures

This camera takes amazing pictures.

If you want amazing pictures/video without spending hours learning a camera then this bad boy is perfect

Takes very nice pictures

I see lots of lousy iPhone photos, which will only improve when Apple makes a phone that floats in the air and uses an algorithm to take exceptional pictures

I want to take great pictures in a compact camera when I travel

Took some amazing pictures and great video

Main complaints:- camera is outdated for 10 years by its functionality (no GPS, no WiFi, no BlueTooth)- bad quality pictures when the weather is not sunny- not handy (difficult to hold by hand, shutter and on/off button are too close to each other, easily mixed up)I bought in one day before the trip

It costs as much as a starter DSLR, can deliver good pictures but is not as cumbersome

pictures are very sharp and crisp it has many features to play with and video is amazing to...

Its pictures were sharper than my SLR's and I could safely carry it in my front pocket.

However, it takes amazing pictures in all conditions

Another concern I had was getting good quality pictures in low light.

This camera takes great pictures.

I shoot with a "giant" DSLR that I carry to most occasions where I need super high quality pictures, but I also carry the point and shoot when the bulk of the big camera is impractical

a great P&S

Orginally I had doubt's because of so many wack P&S cameras out there and the price, but after doing reasearch and looking at some pics online in Flickr and steve huff's website I gave it a try, I'm so happy I bought it

This is a great cámera

Yes, I know this is probably the worst e-mount lens, but honestly I don't see any other options taking into account the need for something really compact.
