I bought this camera for a vacation abroad. I have very little experience in photography but I found this to be pretty easy to use, especially once I got used to the menu system.
At first I wasn't over the moon about the image quality using auto but once I started to get the hang of settings using P mode, controlling Fstop and shutter speed and letting the camera set the ISO, I was really happy with the images.
I know this is an expensive purchase but in all honesty, I felt like it was well worth it.
I highly recommend getting another battery and the little stick on grip that Sony sells for this.

Excellent Compact Camera

This latest Sony RX 100 camera has excellent advanced features. The optical zoom is increased, the viewfinder opens and shuts with a single click or push to close and maybe the best of all the autofocus is amazing. Depending on the shot, the lens will focus on the dominant object in the middle of the frame, unless you tap the screen to set the area you want in focus. If people are in the frame, it will lock on the faces and when possible, will lock on their eyes for amazing shots. I like the compact size with advanced manual features for creative work. The only negatives I found were; The video button is very small and hard to find if you are using the viewfinder to take a video and the camera is somewhat slippery to hold. I tried the leather screw-on case but didn’t like the long neck strap and the large screw on the bottom caused you to lay the camera on the lens or LCD screen. I added the Sony stick-on grip to the front and that helps. I’ve had several Sony cameras and this is the best by far.

Sony - Cyber-shot RX100 VII 20.1-Megapixel Digital

I have a passion for live music performances, and I'm always on the lookout for a reliable camera that can capture the essence of the moment. Luckily, I've stumbled upon a game-changing device that ticks all the boxes. What sets it apart is its versatility - it's allowed in both local theaters and massive stadiums. But that's not all; with 20.1 megapixels and an F-stop of 2.8, it produces stunning, high-quality images that are sure to impress. Another perk is its compact size - measuring just 2.3 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 1.7 inches in depth, and weighing only 272.1 grams - it's incredibly easy to carry around. Whether you're in the front row or up in the nosebleeds, you can rest assured that you'll capture all the action with stunning clarity and precision with this camera. This camera boasts a touch screen that rotates a full 180 degrees, making it the ideal tool for capturing those perfect selfies. The audio quality is nothing short of exceptional, while its video quality at 4k, 30fps is truly impressive. However, I have noticed that the lens may retract slowly when turning off the camera, which can be somewhat problematic when one is in a rush to store it away. In my personal experience as a fellow enthusiast, I wholeheartedly advocate for this particular camera model as the ultimate all-in-one option that can fulfill all of your photography needs. Examples of pictures taken can be found in instgram @zamorraaaa.

Great point and shoot camera. Can’t say that it matches up to a DSLR, but I don’t carry the DSLR much. The higher end phones take arguably batter shots at normal focal length, but you of course can’t zoom. I don’t regret the purchase. Takes very fast snaps. See the attached photos. The close ups of the turtles are at max zoom, so that was punching the limits. I only put 4 stars because the price makes it a tough decision, I am happy with it though.

I've had the RX100 VII for almost a month now, and still feel like I have barely scratched the surface of its capabilities.
I was searching for something with the portability of a cell phone and the image quality of a mirrorless camera, and this little thing covers all bases admirably. It's not a cheap camera, but you get so many features for the price.

The Sony RX100 VII is arguably the best compact camera on the market, offering DSLR-level performance in a tiny package. While its premium price tag might be a hurdle, the cutting-edge autofocus, superb image and video quality, and outstanding portability make it well worth the investment. Whether you’re a professional looking for a secondary camera or an enthusiast wanting the best travel companion, the RX100 VII won’t disappoint.

Pros: This little camera is perfect for travelers. It's small enough to fit your pocket, but powerful enough to take a high-resolution picture (15 MB). It gives you a sharp image.
The cons are that it needs lots of light to produce good-quality photos and that the price is high compared to the other point-and-shoot cameras.

Bulkier than a Smart Phone Camera, but Still Small

I had hoped for a very small, feature-laden digital camera with plenty of optical zoom, and that's exactly what I got. I've used Canon SLRs in the past for vacations, family events, etc., but I grew tired of having to lug around a big, bulky camera. Over the past few years I've been using the nicer iPhones, and while they're really great at taking pictures under most conditions, the absence of an optical zoom and the small aperture for night shots left me wanting more on so many occasions.
I would likely have been happy enough with one of the previous models, but the new VII took the optical zoom from 3x to 8x... and I just couldn't pass that up considering having a good optical zoom was one of my top priorities.
The RX100 VII was about double what I wanted to spend, but I didn't want to compromise on features and end up with a camera that I would often wish had feature X or feature Y, so I just went for it. And I'm glad I did.
I don't know how Sony managed to cram everything into a camera that slides into a front pants pocket, but I'm glad they did.

At version VII you get the bonus of a bigger zoom but at the cost of a slower lens. I found that I can up the ISO to 3500 with acceptable noise. Auto focus is spot on. Still trying to find a programmable short cut to toggle focus eye on/off. Really solid and no complaints about battery life.

A handy compact camera with lots of features for amateur to professional. In the past I have always relied on Canon power-shot but as it was out of stock when I went in to purchase at Best Buy, I picked up Sony 's RX100-VII. The Sony costs more, but is worth it. It has auto detection technology and so many options, plus video. Photos turn out beautiful. I highly recommend this model.
