From the Manufacturer
Sony Cyber-shot
DSC-RX100M2 Digital Still Camera
When beautiful scenery inspires the artist within, capture every exquisite detail with the compact Cyber-shot RX100 II. You’ll enjoy extraordinary light sensitivity, breathtaking image quality and beautiful background defocusing thanks to a newly developed 1.0-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor and F1.8 lens.
Technology
New 1.0 inch Exmor R™ back-illuminated CMOS sensor
Extremely high sensitivity and remarkably low noise are achieved by Sony’s massive new 20.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. Its back illumination technology collects light more efficiently and combines with image processing advances to bring noise to unbelievably low levels — equivalent to noise one stop lower sensitivity in the renowned RX100 II.
Large-aperture F1.8 Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar T* lens
Legendary Carl Zeiss optics and unrivaled Sony imaging technology merge in a compact, high-performance lens that offers supremely accurate performance, powerful 3.6x (28-100mm at 35mm equivalent) optical zoom capabilities and an enormous F1.8 aperture with almost perfectly round seven-blade diaphragm for beautiful background defocusing.
Instantly connect to smartphones and tablets
Touch your Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera to create a connection. No setup is required beyond downloading the free PlayMemories Mobile app to your device. Made possible by NFC™ technology, once connected, you can remotely control the camera’s shutter release from your mobile device and instantly receive the captured image via Wi-Fi.
Expanded ISO Sensitivity
With a new Exmor R® sensor that features the same adaptive noise reduction technology from Sony’s flagship SLT-A99V, the RX100 II easily offers a wide range of sensitivity from ISO 160 to ISO 12800.
Expand your shooting options via Multi Interface Shoe
A Multi Interface Shoe lets you attach wide-ranging accessories for photo and movie shooting. These include an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash unit and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal.
View every scene clearly on the tiltable LCD
The 3.0-inch, 1,229k-dot Xtra Fine monitor displays scenes extra clearly, even in bright sunlight. It can be tilted up to 45° downward to shoot over crowds or up to 84° upward to capture pets eye to eye. You’ll enjoy clear, faithful reproduction thanks to WhiteMagic™ wizardry, which combines white and RGB pixels to boost brightness and visibility.
Additional Features
Capture detail in low-light conditions
With a new Exmor R sensor that features the same adaptive noise reduction technology from Sony’s flagship SLT-A99V, the RX100 II easily offers a wide range of sensitivity from ISO 160 to ISO 12800.
High speed auto focus
High speed Auto Focus To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor R® CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ® processor, which provides intelligent response data to a new high speed actuator motor in the lens. The result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds even in low light.
Comfortable control ring for manual operation
A unique control ring around the lens works in combination with an intuitive, displayed user interface for meticulous SLR-type control over settings that satisfies even the most fastidious users. The control ring can be assigned to adjust various features (at various values) from basics like zooming and aperture to creative functions like Picture Effect. Moreover, it turns smoothly and seamlessly, allowing quiet, click-free usage while shooting movies including a new step-zoom function that enables instant selection of commonly used focal lengths.
Capture JPEG files, RAW files, or both
The DSC-RX100 saves pictures as compact JPEG files and/or ultra-high quality RAW files. RAW files save images prior to de-mosaicking, white balance, sharpness and color enhancement. This retains maximum latitude for enhancing the image on your PC.
Full HD Movies at 60p/60i/24p
Capture HD Movies in your choice of super-smooth 60p, standard 60i or cinematic 24p, all at Full HD 1920x1080 resolution. AVCHD™ codec delivers stunning picture quality. MP4 codec offers smaller files for easier upload to the web.
Auto Object Framing
Give your photos a professional look with Auto Object Framing. Featuring advancements like exceptional two-person portrait capability along with Face Detection and Tracking Focus, Auto Object Framing not only turns ordinary photos into stunning compositions but does so automatically recognizing the scene then cropping accordingly.
Customizable function button
Assign up to seven different functions to the function button, to allow quick access to your most frequently used functions.
Optical SteadyShot® with 3-way Active Mode
Optical SteadyShot® image stabilization reduces shake and blur by countering camera movements in both horizontal and vertical directions. Active 3-Way stabilization adds digital rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, resulting in more stable videos even at long focal lengths. Active 3-Way stabilization adds digital rolling control that counters clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, resulting in more stable videos even at long focal lengths.
Auto HDR modes
Captures more scene dynamic range than a single exposure can handle—and more range than photo film. Combines the best highlight detail from one shot, the best mid-tones from a second and the best shadow detail from a third for one incredible shot (up to 6 EV stops). Captures in a split second. (Recommended for still subjects.).
Creative Style settings
Control how the camera processes your images with six finishing styles: Standard, Vivid, B&W, Sunset, Portrait and Landscape. You can even fine-tune contrast, saturation, and sharpness to your personal taste.
Face Detection/ Registration technology
The camera can automatically detect and register up to eight individual faces and adjust focus, exposure, white balance and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends. Can prioritize children or adults.
Multi-aspect ratio recording for still images
Capture still images in any of four aspect ratios — 1:1, 2:3, 4:3, or 16:9 (vertical to horizontal). This provided the freedom to choose a ratio that matches the scene or the specific shooting purpose.
3.6x optical/7.2x Clear Image digital zoom
Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom digitally doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
Picture Effect mode
Realize your creative potential with Picture Effect, a fun and simple way to convert ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Effects are Soft Focus, Posterization, Retro Photo, High Contrast Monochrome, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Soft High-key, Toy Camera, Pop Color, Partial Color, Watercolor Painting, HDR Painting, and Illustration.

I got the Sony RX100 II on the day it was released (thanks Amazon). I had bought the Wasabi external charger and spare batteries from Amazon in anticipation, so I could start shooting immediately I got the RX100.
If you have used Sony Alpha cameras, the menus are easy to navigate. I soon figured out how to shoot in Manual mode and how to use the front dial and rear wheel to adjust shutter speed, ISO and f-stop quickly. The only problem I found was I'd sometimes pop-up the flash menu while using the rear wheel. I shoot RAW and JPG. Until Adobe release support for the RX100M2, I need to use Sony's image converter to process the RAW files. It creates a TIFF file that loads into PSE 11.
The camera feels very solid and it is easy to handle. I keep putting my left forefinger over the flash, but I've kept the flash turned off, so it isn't a problem so far. The LCD screen pivots nicely, so you can take overhead shots and shots with the camera held low and discreetly. I do miss the A65's EVF but I'm not quite ready to spring for the RX1's $400+ EVF option.
Image quality is amazing. I compared macro shots of bumblebees on flowers taken with the A65 and 300mm zoom and the RX100. The RX100, wide open at f1.8, and held 2" away from the subject delivered more detail and nice brokeh. The RX100 turns out to be a great camera for casual macro photography.
The few sunset shots I've taken match those taken by the A65.
The WIFI capabilities will appeal to many users. It was very easy to pair the camera with my PC and my old Android phone. I can use the phone as a remote control and view finder. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm planning to use this feature to shoot small birds, such as hummingbirds.
I shot an ultra-marathon using the A65 and the 18-135 zoom. I considered using the RX100, but the lack of a view finder stayed my hand. If Sony releases a cheaper, lower-res EVF for the RX100, I'd be in hog heaven.
It is starting to look like the RX100 is going to be my primary camera, with the A65 staying home until I need the reach of the 300mm zoom or the power of an external flash. I am blown away by the RX100 and I've just started dipping into its capabilities. I'll update this review as I use the camera in different shooting situations.
I was going to give it 4 stars because it doesn't have an affordable view finder option. I'd like a lower resolution EVF that would plug into the multi interface shoe. On the other hand, an external view finder compromises the ideal of a pocketable camera that is ready to shoot at a moment's notice.
Update - Aug 1st, 2013:
I just discovered that when the camera is off, I just have to touch the review button to see my pictures. This saves the camera from extending the lens.
I bought the Sony PCKLM15 LCD Protector for DSC-RX1 (Black) to protect the screen. This has a stiff border and seems to be better than those 3rd party films. I also ordered the Sony RM-VPR1 Remote Control with Multi-Terminal for when I use a tripod and the Sony ADPMAA Shoe Adaptor for Mi Shoe so I can mount my Sony DSLR Alpha HVL-F43AM Camera Flash. Will update again after I've tried them out.
Update - Aug 4th, 2013
The RM-VPR1 works very well on the RX100. I'll be using next time I need to take tripod mounted shots. The Shoe Adaptor makes it easy to mount the F43AM flash. There is a protective cover you need to remove from the adaptor before you can slide it onto the camera. The combination of a large flash unit and the tiny RX100 looks odd and makes the camera more difficult to handle. You end up holding the flash and the camera. It sort of defeats the portability requirement, but the camera takes such great photos that you can use it in contexts where you would normally use a DSLR.
Update - Aug 12th, 2013
I tried using my old Android phone as a remote control to take pictures of a hummingbird at a feeder, using Sony's Play Memories app. This could be a great feature but it is fairly primitive; it seems to be geared towards getting photos from the camera to social media. It was sluggish and introduced a long delay between shots. You couldn't trigger a burst of shots, even though the camera can do that. Focus is an issue, because you don't want to introduce focussing delays and sounds. I chose to use manual focus and pre-focussed to where the bird would be. Despite the limitations, I got a few nice shots of a hummingbird shooting while wide open (f/1.8). Next time, I'll zoom in. If Sony could migrate more control to the Android app, wildlife photographers would rejoice. It is very cool to use your phone as a remote view finder. It is almost enough to induce me to buy a smarter phone with a better screen. What I would really like to see is a smart phone app that replicates the RX100 interface.
Update - Sept 4th, 2013
I bought the Sony AGR1 Hand Grip for DSC-RX100 series (Black) . It was easy to attach and stays on solidly. It does improve the way the camera feels and makes it easier to shoot one-handed.
I upgraded my Kindle Fire to Android Jellybean so I could install Play Memories. It is a bit flakey but I can now preview and shoot from a tablet computer. Interestingly, Sony is headed in that direction with the release of the Sony DSC-QX100 Smartphone Attachable Lens-style Camera and the Sony DSC-QX10/B Smartphone Attachable 4.45-44.5mm Lens-Style Camera . I hope this leads to much more sophisticated versions of Play Memories.
I'm using my RX100 a lot. The highlight for me is macro photography. I can get in close to a subject and get super-sharp detail; better than I get with a 300mm on my A65 in stand-off mode. Moreover, I can crop heavily and still have a sharp image. However, getting focus is a problem, especially in sun-light. I've resorted to taking lots of shots as I move my camera around the subject. This has forced me to order the Sony FDAEV1MK Electronic Viewfinder Kit (Black) . I know it's a lot of money to spend on something that should be standard on any serious camera. I could just put my prime macro lens on the A65 and do the same stuff, but I don't carry it around with me all the time. Next update will report on whether or not I spent my money wisely.

Image quality is amazing. I compared macro shots of bumblebees on flowers taken with the A65 and 300mm zoom and the RX100. The RX100, wide open at f1.8, and held 2" away from the subject delivered more detail and nice brokeh. The RX100 turns out to be a great camera for casual macro photography.
The few sunset shots I've taken match those taken by the A65.
The WIFI capabilities will appeal to many users. It was very easy to pair the camera with my PC and my old Android phone. I can use the phone as a remote control and view finder. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm planning to use this feature to shoot small birds, such as hummingbirds.
I shot an ultra-marathon using the A65 and the 18-135 zoom. I considered using the RX100, but the lack of a view finder stayed my hand. If Sony releases a cheaper, lower-res EVF for the RX100, I'd be in hog heaven.
It is starting to look like the RX100 is going to be my primary camera, with the A65 staying home until I need the reach of the 300mm zoom or the power of an external flash. I am blown away by the RX100 and I've just started dipping into its capabilities. I'll update this review as I use the camera in different shooting situations.
I was going to give it 4 stars because it doesn't have an affordable view finder option. I'd like a lower resolution EVF that would plug into the multi interface shoe. On the other hand, an external view finder compromises the ideal of a pocketable camera that is ready to shoot at a moment's notice.
Update - Aug 1st, 2013:
I just discovered that when the camera is off, I just have to touch the review button to see my pictures. This saves the camera from extending the lens.
I bought the Sony PCKLM15 LCD Protector for DSC-RX1 (Black) to protect the screen. This has a stiff border and seems to be better than those 3rd party films. I also ordered the Sony RM-VPR1 Remote Control with Multi-Terminal for when I use a tripod and the Sony ADPMAA Shoe Adaptor for Mi Shoe so I can mount my Sony DSLR Alpha HVL-F43AM Camera Flash. Will update again after I've tried them out.
Update - Aug 4th, 2013
The RM-VPR1 works very well on the RX100. I'll be using next time I need to take tripod mounted shots. The Shoe Adaptor makes it easy to mount the F43AM flash. There is a protective cover you need to remove from the adaptor before you can slide it onto the camera. The combination of a large flash unit and the tiny RX100 looks odd and makes the camera more difficult to handle. You end up holding the flash and the camera. It sort of defeats the portability requirement, but the camera takes such great photos that you can use it in contexts where you would normally use a DSLR.
Update - Aug 12th, 2013
I tried using my old Android phone as a remote control to take pictures of a hummingbird at a feeder, using Sony's Play Memories app. This could be a great feature but it is fairly primitive; it seems to be geared towards getting photos from the camera to social media. It was sluggish and introduced a long delay between shots. You couldn't trigger a burst of shots, even though the camera can do that. Focus is an issue, because you don't want to introduce focussing delays and sounds. I chose to use manual focus and pre-focussed to where the bird would be. Despite the limitations, I got a few nice shots of a hummingbird shooting while wide open (f/1.8). Next time, I'll zoom in. If Sony could migrate more control to the Android app, wildlife photographers would rejoice. It is very cool to use your phone as a remote view finder. It is almost enough to induce me to buy a smarter phone with a better screen. What I would really like to see is a smart phone app that replicates the RX100 interface.
Update - Sept 4th, 2013
I bought the [[ASIN:B00DQHZYXW Sony AGR1 Hand Grip for DSC-RX100 series (Black)]]. It was easy to attach and stays on solidly. It does improve the way the camera feels and makes it easier to shoot one-handed.
I upgraded my Kindle Fire to Android Jellybean so I could install Play Memories. It is a bit flakey but I can now preview and shoot from a tablet computer. Interestingly, Sony is headed in that direction with the release of the [[ASIN:B00EVIBN26 Sony DSC-QX100 Smartphone Attachable Lens-style Camera]] and the [[ASIN:B00EVIJWXS Sony DSC-QX10/B Smartphone Attachable 4.45-44.5mm Lens-Style Camera]]. I hope this leads to much more sophisticated versions of Play Memories.
I'm using my RX100 a lot. The highlight for me is macro photography. I can get in close to a subject and get super-sharp detail; better than I get with a 300mm on my A65 in stand-off mode. Moreover, I can crop heavily and still have a sharp image. However, getting focus is a problem, especially in sun-light. I've resorted to taking lots of shots as I move my camera around the subject. This has forced me to order the [[ASIN:B009UOI9QY Sony FDAEV1MK Electronic Viewfinder Kit (Black)]]. I know it's a lot of money to spend on something that should be standard on any serious camera. I could just put my prime macro lens on the A65 and do the same stuff, but I don't carry it around with me all the time. Next update will report on whether or not I spent my money wisely.
I actually had the original RX100, which either got stolen or recycled. Either way, I had to get a new one and the MII just came out. Me, my wife, and my preschooler are the main users of this camera. Preschooler you say? Yes, he likes to take pictures and for some reason I let him use this $750 (back then) camera despite it flying in the face of reason. This camera goes all over house, outside, purse, pitched around the car, dropped on the floor. It's tough. It's shows it's battlemarks on on the view screen and body, but the lens is pristine and the camera works flawlessly. So 5 stars for toughness.
Picture quality is superb mainly because SONY makes pretty good cameras and has experience writing the processing firmware coupled with an outsized sensor for the camera size. The sensor really is much bigger than other P&S and it allows much better indoor shots. With the compact and easy portability, it's often the first camera we pick up when take impromptu shots indoors or go on trips. If I know that I'm going somewhere for serious pictures, then I go for the 4/3 cameras that otherwise mostly sit around. Colors are good, sharpness is great. There is a little bit of the big-nose effect that is hard to avoid with small cameras like this.
Compared to the original version of this camera, it's really not that much better overall. If you can get a screaming good price on the MI, then I suggest going for that instead. Right now, the price difference as sold by Amazon is about $150. The newest MIII is around $200 more than this middle one.
So I became frustrated with my a6000 earlier this year- battery life is not what it ought to be, and as I said, the lens selection leaves much to be desired, even though the image quality is very good. I started researching compact point-and-shoots to make it easier to have something other than my iPhone to take pictures with, and I came across the RX100 line.
Sony sells all four iterations of the RX100 side-by-side, and they all have reasons for and against them. As far as I can tell, the entire line is uniformly excellent, with some obvious compromises given the form factor. Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them, but after much research, I decided upon the RX100, Mark 2. The reasons are as follows:
1. Better sensor than M1 (and the same sensor as M3)
2. Wi-fi support
3. External hot-shoe
4. Longer zoom range than M3 or M4
5. Great price point
6. (Supposedly) Better battery life than the other three iterations
One of the best things about this camera is that image quality is as good as the a6000; despite what many people believe, megapixels aren't everything. The RX100 M2 has a 20mp sensor, compared to the a6000's 24mp, and the images look just about the same. One area where the a6000 is definitely better (with the right lens) is low-light photography. But obviously, a compact point-and-shoot is not designed for that (though this one is more capable than most).
The downside with the M2 (like the original RX100) is the lack of a viewfinder; if that's something you need, go with the M3, because the optional viewfinder for this model will set you back more than if you just buy the next model up. I do find myself missing a viewfinder sometimes, but it's not a deal breaker, especially as I had read that some reviewers did not care for the pop-up viewfinder on the later models.
This is a compact point-and-shoot, so be aware that it's probably smaller than you think it is. If you have large hands, invest in Sony's optional leather case (which has quite a snazzy retro look, btw). Also, the image quality is very, very good, *but* it is in no way comparable to a mid-range or pro DSLR, despite the hype. Sometimes the buzz around Sony's cameras is like that surrounding the iPhone cameras; take it with a grain of salt. This camera will never, ever replace a DSLR, but what it will do is become your high-quality "walking around"/travel camera.
The ability to shoot RAW is frosting on the cake, but even if you only shoot JPEG, the 1" sensor really shines.
I'll be getting rid of my a6000 soon in favor of something from Nikon, but this little camera is staying right where it is- in my jacket pocket.
Top reviews from other countries
La forma de agarrarla da inseguridad pero se puede tunear, por ejemplo pegando un poco de velcro para darla más rugosidad y que no resbale.
Suerte en la elección.
In the past I had ventured away from Sony Carl Zeiss lense PS cameras and I am completely convinced that there are no products close to this product at this price.
While this camera is costly by its price, it has features which are going to appeal to DSLR user who need better control over the camera modes (Aperture / Shutter priority etc). The normal user may not utilise these features to fullest and for this camera price may look exorbitant (which to my mind it is not.).
As an traveller who likes to have convenience of PS camera with abilities of DSLR,this is too awesome camera to be in stock. Folks loving 30 x 50x zooms may get disappointed as this has 3x ZOOM. However the clarity and ability to shoot raw are welcome features. Also flexi screen to tilt in ground level clicking is also a welcome feature. The transfering of the clicks to mobile is so easy that this whole small packet delivers completely to its price.
Conclusion :- This is a sophisticated machine which will appeal DSLR lovers who can maximize its potential and easy to fall in love with. Non DSLR users who are keen on 40/50 X Zooms better stay off from this machine as this is not meant for you.
Der erste Eindruck nach dem Auspacken der Kamera war die kleine Größe und dann das hohe Gewicht. Für die Leistung war ich überrascht, dass Länge und Höhe derart gering war. Einzig die Dicke der Kamera ist etwas größer als bei Mini-Kompaktkameras. Klar hat man die Millimeter-Abmaße gelesen, eine Vorstellung und ein Gefühl dazu hat man nicht unbedingt. Das Gewicht hat mich auch nicht wirklich gestört, da ich eigentlich eine Kamera mit noch etwas größeren Abmaßen in Kauf genommen hätte. Allerdings frage ich mich, was in der Kamera so schwer sein kann.
Nachdem ich Akku und eine SD-Karte eingesetzt hatte, hängte ich die Kamera erst einmal ans Ladegerät. Dabei fiel mit positiv auf, dass die Kamera eine normale SD-Karte nahm, nicht etwa Micro-SD. Bei höherwertigen Kameras scheint dies wohl üblich zu sein, wenn es nicht Compact-Flash ist.
Nach dem Einschalten war die Kamera angenehm schnell betriebsbereit. In weniger als einer Sekunde war das Objektiv ausgefahren und der Bildschirm angeschaltet. Von daher kann ich andere Rezensenten nicht verstehen, die der Kamera lange Einschaltzeiten diagnostizieren. Auf Tastendruck erfolgt eine sofortige Reaktion der Kamera.
Zunächst wühlte ich mich etwas durch die Menüs, die im Wesentlichen recht übersichtlich aufgebaut sind. Das Wichtigste ist zunächst Uhrzeit und Zeitzone einzustellen, dann kann man eigentlich schhon mit "Intelligenter Automatik" losfotografieren. Klar hat die Kamera ihr eigenes Bedienkonzept, mit dem man noch deutlich mehr heraus holen kann. Da das meine zweite Sony Kamera ist, hatte ich einen Vorteil beim Einstieg in die Bedienung.
Da es ziemlich viel zum Einstellen gibt, kann man es wirklich nur nach und nach herausfinden und bei passender Gelegenheit ausprobieren. In den letzten Jahren bin ich auch begeisterter Fan von HDO und HDR geworden, dafür wurden der Kamera eine ganze Reihe von Optionen spendiert. Auch mit den Einstellungen für Blende, ISO, Brennweitel, Belichtungszeit und Weißkorrektur kann man etwas Zeit verbringen. Die besten Ergebnisse erzielt man, wenn man weiß, wie die Kamera reagiert und in welcher Situation man was einstellt.
Es scheint sich unter den verschiedenen Kameraherstellern inzwischen verbreitet zu haben, dass es sowohl "Intelligente Automatik" als auch "Intelligente Automatik Plus" gibt. Wobei die erste automatisch Einstellungen wie Makro oder Blitzlicht auswählt, die für eine saubere Aufnahme unbedingt erforderlich sind. Die Plus-Automatik geht dann aufs Ganze und wählt auch etwas gewagtere Einstellungen, wie bei Dämmerlicht drei Serienaufnahmen zu machen und ein schärferes Bild daraus zu erzeugen.
Auch bei einer Hochwertigen Kamera möchte man spontan Aufnahmen machen können, von daher sind die Automatik-Programme sehr wertvoll. Angenehm ist auch der automatisch herausspringende Blitz, auch wenn man aufgrund des kompakten Gehäuses seinen Finger schon mal auf die Seite nehmen muss. Jedenfalls macht man damit nicht erst ein Bild um anschließend festzustellen, dass man eigentlich den Blitz hätte verwenden wollen. Dafür ist die Blitzautomatik ja eben gedacht, dem Anwender das Darandenken abzunehmen.
Der Bildschirm der Kamera ist zwar nicht besonders groß, aber größer geht bei dem Gehäuse auch nicht. Aber er ist scharf, hell und kontrastreich, sodass er seinen Dienst tut. Die Helligkeit wird automatisch durch das Umgebungslicht geregelt, damit er im Dunkeln nicht blendet oder stört und im Hellen dennoch sichtbar bleibt. Auf das Klappdisplay hätte ich persönlich verzichten können, wenn man es schon mal hat, benutzt man es ab und zu. Es liegt angenhm schwergängig am Gehäuse an, wird vermutlich durch einen Magneten gehalten, klappt also nicht plötzlich in der Tasche heraus.
Allerdings ist mir aufgefallen, nachdem ich die Kamera das erste mal Unterwegs mit dabei hatte, dass anschließen sehr viele Mini-Kratzer auf dem Display befanden. Und das obwohl die Kamera weder mit anderen Metallgegeständen in einer Tasche war, sonder eher die meiste Zeit in einem kleinen, weichen Stoffbeutel. Fingerabdrücke sieht man im ausgeschalteten Zustand überdeutlich. Wenn das Display eingeschaltet ist, sieht man allerdings einwandfrei. Ich vermute das Display ist so empfindlich, weil eine Anti-Reflex-Folie aufgeklebt ist. Da ich bereits gesehen habe, dass es diese Folien wohl im 2er-Pack zu kaufen gibt, gehe ich davon aus dass der Austausch kein Problem sein wird.
Räder, Räder, Räder: Ein Rad für die das Menü, eins für die Modi und am Objektiv nochmal ein riesiges. Gut, irgendwie muss man die Kamera bedienen können. Wobei ich das Rad am Objektiv eigentlich nicht benutze, weil mir die Bewegung doch zu grob ist, wenn man die selbe Funktion auch mit der Fingerspitze einstellen kann. Einzig vielleicht für den Zoom während der Videoaufnahme kann ich mir das Rad sinnvoll vorstellen. Ansonsten hätte ich hier lieber Gewicht und Größe gespart. Das Rad dreht bei mir ganz sanft los, da hängt gar nichts, wie von anderen Rezensenten erwähnt wurde. Ich frage mich manchmal, wieviel Cola manche in die Kamera schütten, bevor sie sowas schreiben.
Von der Bildqualität her liefert die Kamera das Beste, was ich je von einer Pocketkamera gesehen habe. Dafür ist es mit ca. 600 Euro auch die teuerste Pocketkamera, die ich je gekauft habe. Mit der angepriesenen Auflösung von 20 Megapixeln sind wir bei dem nächsten Thema, wo andere Rezensenten behauptet hätten, dies sei allenfalls etwas für Angeber. Zugegeben, die angegebene Zahl an Pixeln schafft eine Kamera nur unter Laborbedingungen, falls das überhaupt möglich ist. Meist ist es ein theoretischer Wert an Fotoelementen, die sich auf dem Sensor befinden. Um Helligkeit, Kontrast, Farben, Rauschen, Objektivverzerrung und im schlimmsten Fall noch Digitalzoom heraus zu bekommen, bleiben viele Megapixel auf der Strecke. Und genau da unterscheidet sich die Qualität verschiedener Kameras.
Korrigiert mich bitte, wenn ich da nicht richtig liege: Wenn ich ein Bild auf einem 4K-Monitor anzeigen möchte, dann sind das 8 Megapixel bei 3 Farben je Pixel macht insgesamt 24 Megapixel. Und bei Kameras werden üblicherweise die Subpixel angegeben, weil Helligkeit und Farben wieder herausgerechnet werden. Also bekomme ich mit Müh und Not ein scharfes Bild auf meinen Bildschirm. Genau das kann ich vom Betrachten her auch bestätigen. Wobei sich Bildrauschen und Bilddynamik (also die Auflösung in dunklen und hellen Bereichen) in einem sehr guten Bereich bewegen.
Klar ist, wenn das Licht sehr gering wird, kann man mit der aller besten Kamera nichts mehr raus holen. Wobei es mich immer wieder wundert, wieso man es nicht schafft, ein automatisch ausfahrendes Objektiv zu bauen, welches ein Stück größer ist. Ich möchte keine Kamera mit Fest- oder Wechselobjektiv, das in keine Tasche mehr passt. Für seine Größe bietet die Sony auf jeden fall eine gute Lichtstärke. Und von der Bildverarbeitung hat man auch viel gelernt, der Kompromiss zwischen dem gemäldeartigen Verzeichnen und dem Bildrauschen hat man gut hin bekommen. Selbst da hat man noch drei Einstellmöglichkeiten im Menü unter "High ISO-RM".
Zu guter Letzt kommt zu den Basis-Elementen noch der Blitz hinzu. Wie gesagt fährt er automatisch aus und bietet eine sehr gute und gleichmäßige Bildaufhellung an. Es gibt nicht den Hauch eines Problems mit Überbelichtung. Das ist sehr wichtig, vor allem wenn man viele Gesichter aufnimmt. Allerdings gibt es auch Dämmerungsprogramme, die drei Bilder in Folge machen und darauf ein besseres Bild berechnen. Allerdings war ich davon nicht ganz so begeistert. Ich denke hier kann man mit den Programmeinstellungen P/A/S/M noch einiges raus holen, wenn man mal die Zeit hat, etwas herum zu experimentieren. Ansonsten kann man sich auf die Intelligente Automatik verlassen.
Ein anderes wichtiges Thema sind RAW-Bilder. Auch wenn ich das im Moment nicht nutze für meine Foto-Touren, kann ich mir gut vorstellen in einer Foto-Session für hochwertige Bilder das eine oder andere Mal RAW-Aufnahmen zu machen. Hinterher hat man noch wesentlich mehr Möglichkeiten, die Belichtung und Farben zu beeinflussen. Allerdings bedeutet es auch zusätzliche Arbeit.
Dann der Sensor. Es ist ja viel über Vergleich zu DSLR und Systemkameras geschrieben worden. Die Software und der Funktionsumfang entspricht wohl tatsächlich in vielen Bereichen, dem von Profikameras. Funktionen wie RAW, HDR und detailierte Kontrolle von Blende, Belichtung etc. können wirklich nützlich sein. Der Sensor selbst ist allerdings ca. 8 x 13 Millimeter groß, also kleiner als ein Fingernagel. Klar ist, dass mit so einem kleinen Objektiv keine größere Fläche bedient werden kann. In der RAW-Aufnahme sieht man bereits die dunklen Ecken. Hier ist meine Meinung passend zum Objektiv, wieso bekommt man das nicht eine Idee größer hin in dieser Preisklasse?
Über das Objektiv hatte ich es schon kurz wegen der Größe bzw. Lichtstärke. Das Objektiv hebt sich allerdings von vielen Kompaktknipsen ab. Dies fällt sofort auf, da die abschließende Linse konkav ist, also nach innen gewölbt. Das Objektiv hat eine außerordentliche Fähigkeit "freizustellen", wie man immer so schön sagt, also Objekte im Hintergrund unscharf darzustellen. Damit erhält man auf jeden Fall noch eine Möglichkeit in die Hand, professionell aussehende Bilder zu schießen.
Das eingebaute WiFi hat allerdings wenig Nutzen, da es immer im Menü erst angeschaltet werden muss. Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass es eine App dazu gibt, die die Bilder automatisch auf ein Android, Windows oder meinetwegen auch Apple-Gerät überträgt. Von daher hätte ich für den günstigeren Preis, Gewicht und Größe auf das WiFi verzichtet.
Mein Fazit soweit: Wenn man klasse Bilder haben will, ist man bei dieser Kamera gut aufgehoben. Bei der Netzwerk-Integration kann diese Kamera noch was lernen, wie die meisten anderen übrigens auch.
29.05.2014: Nachtrag nach den ersten 1500 Bildern. Die vermeintlichen Mikro-Krazter auf dem Display waren wohl eher stark haftende Mikro-Fusseln. Nach dem Abwischen mit einem leicht feuchten Tuch ist das Display wieder wie neu.
Inzwischen wurde die DSC-RX100 Mark 3 angekündigt, woraufhin der Preis der Mark 2 auch gleich um 50 Euro nachgegeben hat. Diese hat ein neues Objektiv mit auf 24-70 mm verkürzte Brennweite (bisher 28-100 mm), zwar mit einer besseren Lichtstärke bei maximalen Zoom, allerdings wurden die ohnehin schon mickrigen 3,6-fach weiter auf 2,9-fach reduziert. Vielen Kunden sei wohl Weitwinkel und Lichtstärke wichtiger, allerdings möchte ich auch mal ein Motiv heran holen können. Die Mark 3 hat zwar den gleichen Sensor, dafür den neuen Bildprozessor "Bionz X", arbeitet ohne Tiefpassfilter, unterstützt Sony Camera Apps, hat eine Popup-Sucher, dafür keinen Blitzschuh mehr.
Im Übrigen besteht das Handy-Objektiv QX100 aus dem gleichen Objektiv und Bildprozessor, allerdings ohne die ganzen manuellen Einstellmöglichkeiten.
Nactrag 22.06.2014: Habe eine Vermutung was den Großen-Rahmen-Ich-Fokussier-Was-Ich-Will betrifft: Dieser trat immer auf, wenn das Autofokushilfslicht aktiv war. Da dieses Licht sowieso nur die Mitte ausleuchtet, hätte ich mir da gewünscht, dass ein Spot-Fokus angezeigt wird. Gerade am Anfang, oder wenn man das nicht weiß, ist das etwas verwirrend.
