The RX100 from Sony is simply the best point and shoot camera in the word today, the best point and shoot every built. Don't trust me? Just google it out and then you will. I'll keep the review and comparison short, won't get much technical, so just 2 things for the RX100 :nn1) SLR quality images, even tough,n2) it fits in your pocket.nnBut if you are someone who is okay with carrying a few KGs of baggage (including SLR camera, lenses, extra batteries, the carry bags etc), then you may continue to burden yourself for a little bit of extra clarity that SLR would offer.nnBut, for most practical situations, like vacations, family functions, parties etc, this is the camera that you can take with you. What good is a SLR if you don't feel like carrying it with you because it is so bulky? The vacations should be to relax, not for carrying all the SLR related weight around.nnHowever, if you are a very, veRY, VERY serious photographer, you may stick to your SLR, as they still offer a little better photographs, given that you can carry the camera with you. Once of my friend (serious photographer) got neck sprains just by carrying his SLR+fitted lens from morning till night, while we were on a vacation.nnThis camera kicks some serious ***... Paronama, 1 inch CMOS sensor, 20 MP, amazing light sensitivity(low light pics are amazing), very high true resolution, amazing aperture, High Dynamic Range support, 1080p video recording... phew, i'm tired of writing all the good things this little guy has.nntime to get some sleep.. and dream about the Sony RX100..
This is truly the best pocket-able camera I have handled!nPrimarily the specifications are killer!!nnPROS(loooong list!)n1. 1" Carl Zeiss sensor(What an achievement!!),n2. f/1.8(WOW!! Low light and night photos are a treat!!),n3. 20 megapixels(offers fantastic detail!!)n4. auto-focus (exemplary!),n5. manual control ring(one of a kind!),n6. 3.6x optical zoom (respectable although the 7.2x clear image optical zoom offers surprisingly good performance too),n7. flexible flash (no more flash in subject's spectacles!),n8. 10 shots per second Burst Mode!! (that's superbly fast!!)n9. Panorama (best on the planet!!),n10.video at 60 fps with image stabilization (stellar!!)n11.Battery 330 shots(very very respectable!),n12.A wonderfully customizable Function button(big pro!)n13.Best part : weight 240gm!!!! (Competition's wgt begins at 400gm and above. So trulr light weight!!)nnnCONSn1. Biggest con I would say is no articulated screenn2. No optical VF if that's important coz the 3" Whitemagic display is definitely one of the best LCDs out theren3. No hot shoe if u have additional microphone or flash to attachn4. 7.2x zoom may look petty (but remember! 20 megapixels will offer u a gigantic photo with lots of detail anyway which makes up for this shortcoming)nnShould you go this? Of course you should!!! Coz for the first time ever, u will be sacrificing about 10-15% of DSLR quality in images(not in videos coz they literally are DSLR-like!) and u will be having the amazing liberty of tucking ur camera in ur pocket instead of hanging it around ur neck all the time.
