The Sony RX100 VII is a powerhouse in a pocket-sized body. Image quality is sharp and vibrant, the 24-200mm zoom is super versatile, and the autofocus is lightning fast. Perfect travel companion-DSLR performance without the bulk!

So far, I dont see anything bad about this camera. I can really take it with me all the time and get high quality pictures. Even my friends who own fullframe camera are getting jealous that I dont have to carry heavy lens like them and still get good pictures.

The Sony RX100vii is a fantastic small camera. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

Thought this would be an excellent pocket camera alongside my big Canon... But too small and fiddly

I recently bought this camera and since I upgraded from the 1V version the extras such as 200 zoom and easier pop up eye view finder give such make it a true experts camera. However it is also easy to use as a beginner. So much ability that fits in my pocket.

I bought this camera a short while ago and it's by far the best camera I've ever had!

Love the images, but so far as I can tell the camera does not Bluetooth pair with IEM for geotagging.

This is my second RX100 camera. It is one of the last remaining compact cameras offering a pro-featured stills specification. It seems today the focus is all towards video. If you want a compact camera with pro-specs for stills photography this a literally your only option. It's a great option. Would be better if they designed the lens to take filters, though I guess the fear is in doing so, putting filters on and off the lens my damage its delicate powered zoom. If a new version is launched I hope it will have a base that has a arca swiss mount profile.

I purchased this camera about 1 year ago and have been using it since. In December of last year, our family went to Italy for 2 weeks and I used the camera extensively. I really like the wide angle to telephoto range (24-200mm). I got some great photos and have posted to the photography forum I use online. Many compliments. I highly recommend this camera.

In most respects, this seems to be a great compact digital camera; however, I have only been using it for a few days and have much to learn. My one criticism thus far is the optical viewfinder which does not seem easy to see through, continued use and experience will tell

I bought a Sony ZV-1 a few years ago but wished I had just saved a little more and bought the RX100VII. After selling the ZV-1, I waited a while as I thought Sony would release a RX100 MK8 but it looks like that isn't happening anytime soon. Just get the MK7 and know you have the best.

I was looking to downsize my mirrorless system as it was getting too heave to carry around all day. After a lot of research and a visit to the Sony stand at the London Photography show last month, I decided to buy the RX100M7. very glad I did. It does almost all of what my previous camera did at a fraction of the weight, and produces fantastic pictures. The only gripe is the need to add the Sony Rubber grip. without the grip it is easy for the camera to slip out of my fingers, it is much more secure to hold with the grip. I am sure Sony could add it to the package for a much more rounded offer.

I've always wanted a Sony RX100 compact camera and the opportunity arose recently to buy one. I'm very pleased with my purchase as this small camera takes great photos and videos straight out of the box. It also has all the flexibility needed to make adjustments for further creative shooting. It's small size means it's easy to put in a pocket and take anywhere. Over the years I've owned a number of compact cameras from Panasonic, Nikon, Kodak etc which have all been good but I would say the Sony RX100 VII is the best one. Although the Sony RX100 VII is several years old now, I would also say it's still the best compact camera available today.

In the Sonry camera RX-100 M7 box, there's a paper says that if we register, it will extend the product warranty from 1 year to 2 years, but after I registered the camera, the warranty webpage still shows only 1 year warranty, so apparently the paper in the product box lied to us. Sony needs to fix this, otherwise your reputation is going to be very bad in lying to customers!

Although it is expensive, it is well worth it. Bought the pocket camera as wanted DLSR type quality in a small compact size. Great for travelling and less obtrusive than the larger cameras.

lovely little pocket camera delivering good quality photos. I mainly use it for photos when on holiday. There to many compacts for just blogging!!! Some of us just want to take good quality photos so this camera is a god send for photos. I did try a quick video but it took me a while to fing the folder with the video, thats why I gave it a 4 star review, all my other cameras have put the videos in the same folder as images.

This camera is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but I'd very powerful abd responsive. It takes a while or perhaps a lifetime to learn all the functions but most are self explanatory.

it is nice camera for keeping it inside your backpack or in your small handbag and take photos when ever you want build quality is also nice photos and videos nice but sony not support your a thousand dolar camera with softwares. pc and smartphone applications are from 2010 and you feel like a second hand camera from decade ago.

I bought the RX100 M7 a month ago and it was my second choice as I was hoping to purchase a compact LUMIX camera with the 360mm zoom. As it was discontinued, the Sony was my next available option. I am so pleased with this compact and a recent trip to Spain allowed me to test its functions and picture quality. I am still very much a novice on its menu and all functions, but have downloaded a couple of manuals and watched a few YouTube videos on its operation. I would say there is a steep learning curve for this compact camera, however It has been well worth the time and patience to get to grips with all its various shooting modes. The analogue zoom can be extended with a "digitall extension" in camera software menu. Resolution suffers at the end of this zoom range but that is to be expected. Overall I am very pleased with the picture quality, raw and jpeg and video. The camera footprint is small but feels heavy and well made. I would recommend this camera if you want a compact zoom and video camera option for travel.

I have used once so far and realized sometimes no picture was taken when the shuttle was pressed. When it happened, I kept pressing for many times and picture only captured after a while. This was not a good experience because I take photos at the site that is extremely hot and need to take photos fast and this experience slowed me down.

I'm an experienced amateur photographer, having used a camera for about 65 years. I decided to buy this camera as I was no longer wanting to lug around a DSLR & lenses and wanted to upgrade my Panasonic Lumix. I'm not stupid but the menu system for setting up the camera is appalling. No built in geosync, and even though I have set up IME and linked the camera no location data is recorded. The pictures are not of a good quality. Close ups focus OK but every landscape picture I have taken is out of focus. Please do not waste your money. Too late for me to get a refund, but so wish I hadn't perservered in vain and requested a refund within the allowed timescale.

My first RX100ll was not able to get beyond the initial info of place and time. Whenever I restarted the camera it would come back blank, asking for the info again. Time after time. I returned it as defective and B+H sent me a new one. This second one, after about a month of use, also became defective. It kept shutting down. Returned. The third RX100Vll had the same problem as the first, but, by then, I realized that I might later chance the initial info, so I did....by redoing the initial info from that place. Somehow that method of doing the info worked...the info did not keep coming back. I assume all is well now, except that I am not impressed at all with the making of this camera..

By ARIXY
I've owned a RX100 V for some time and absolutely loved the quality of the images and the options available however it always seemed the zoom range was a bit limited and the lack of a microphone input was a real pain when shooting video. The RX100 VII has almost become my ideal travel camera in that it has both a much longer zoom range and a microphone input but, for some reason Sony has decided to take out the neutral density filter! Presumably it wouldn't fit with the longer zoom lens but i...

What a great little powerhouse of a camera.

I came from a Nikon d750 with a range of lenses from 24mm to 200mm. It got old lugging all that gear around. I wanted small but still something I could count on for great high quality images. So, I got me a Sony RX100 M7... I have had this camera now for 9mo. It takes a little getting used to and you need to spend some time with its feature set, which is enormous btw. If you do you will find a very capable camera. I am pleased with IQ and how very fast the camera is. It starts quickly, shoot...

Sony sets a new bar for compact cameras with the new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera. This seventh-generation camera from the RX100 series packs a built-in ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T 24-200mm F/2.8-4.5 zoom lens. This zoom lens boasts high magnification, as well as auto-focus speeds of 0.02 seconds. It can also cover telephoto and wide-angle focal lengths. The RX100 VII has a redesigned 20.1MP 1" Exmor RS CMOS sensor and an upgraded BIONZ X image processor that enables fast shooting performance, UHD 4K video recording, and an ISO 12800 sensitivity. It also has a 357 phase-detection hybrid autofocus system with 425 contrast-detection areas for quick and accurate focusing capabilities for shooting stills and capturing videos. The RX100 VII has a 3.0" 921.6k-dot LCD touchscreen and a pop-up 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder. The touchscreen has tilting capabilities for when shooting at different angles and has Touch Shutter and Focus functions. With all the upgraded functions combined with a sleek yet portable build, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera redefines what a compact camera should be.
One week after announcing the new a7R IV full-frame mirrorless camera, Sony has released another successor in its popular RX series. Debuting this morning, the Sony RX100 VII is a powerful compact camera that now boasts some of the most popular features of the full-frame a9.

The fast, highly accurate autofocus can achieve a remarkable 0.02-sec. acquisition speed, the world's fastest, to capture fleeting moments with precision. A total of 357 focal-plane phase-detection AF points covering approx. 68% of the image area – work in conjunction with 425 contrast-detection AF points and High-density AF Tracking Technology to follow even erratically moving subjects reliably.
The new Single Burst Shooting function will capture the tiniest slices of daily life, such as the very instant a tennis ball hits the racket, and turn them into works of art. Take seven shots in rapid succession at selectable speeds of 90fps, 60fps or 30fps, all triggered by a single press of the shutter button. Even fast-moving subjects can be captured thanks to the Anti-distortion Shutter, in RAW as well as JPEG image formats.
Real-time Tracking uses subject-recognition algorithms (AI) that draw on color, pattern (brightness), subject distance (depth) and face/eye information to track subjects wherever they move. Maintaining a constant, steady focus on a moving subject helps capture every important moment of action as it happens, whether taking stills or movies. Tracking can also be initiated through Touch Tracking, for both stills and movies.
Real-time Eye AF detects subject's eyes and maintains focus as the subject moves, leaving you free to compose your shot. The subject's eyes are detected with half-press of the shutter, and it's possible to select either the left or right eye of the subject. It can be used in conjunction with Real-time Tracking, in which case the focus frame can seamlessly switch between the subject's face and eyes as the subject moves.
Though very compact, RX100 VII includes a standard 3.5mm microphone input jack enabling the use of high-end microphones for professional audio capture for movies and vlogs. The camera supports movie recording in vertical format with embedded metadata indicating the camera's orientation. This means that movie clips in this format that are transferred to smartphones can be played back and used as is, without needing to rotate them from horizontal format.
RX100 VII now supports "Active" mode image stabilization for 4K movies, combining optical and electronic stabilization methods for compensation up to eight times more effective13 than the standard mode. Intelligent Active mode with Full HD recording provides smoother stabilization even for shooting while walking. The Movie Edit add-on mobile app helps achieve smoothness similar to using a gimbal.
The RX100 VII maintains the convenient pocket-sized design of the RX100 family and is equipped with a high-contrast 2.35 million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finde electronic viewfinder, ensuring true-to-life image preview and playback functionality. With a single push, the EVF conveniently pops-up and automatically extends the eye-piece. It features optics with ZEISS® T coating that greatly reduces reflections.
RX100 VII Premium Compact Camera with 1.0-type 20.1MP stacked CMOS sensor, up to 60 times/sec. AF/AE calculations and up to 20 fps Blackout-free Shooting, up to 90fps Single Burst Shooting, 357-point focal-plane phase-detection AF, 0.02 sec high AF speed, Real-time Tracking and Real-time Eye AF, 24-200mm F2.8-F4.5 zoom lens, 4K HDR (HLG) video recording, Active mode image stabilization in 4K movie, and microphone jack
Clean, uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 4K or HD movie signal can be transferred to an external monitor/recorder connected to the RX100 VI via the HDMI® terminal. Video can be recorded simultaneously to internal media and uncompressed video to the external recorder in real time.
The new image sensor offers continuous shooting at up to 20fps, and the camera tracks subjects with AF/AE calculations at up to 60 times per second, even when they are moving erratically or at high speed. Blackout-free Shooting lets you track your subject's movement without interruption on the camera's LCD display or viewfinder screen just as if you were following with the naked eye.
The RX100 VII includes professional movie functions such as; Picture Profile, S S-Log3/S-Gamut3, TC/UB (time code / user bit), Rec Control, Dual Video Recording, marker display function, etc. that have typically been available only in professional video cameras. You also have the choice of region setting between NTSC and PAL movie frame rates.
The ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T 24-200mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens covers a broad zoom range equivalent to two standard zoom lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm), all in a very compact size. It's configured with eight aspherical lens elements to achieve maximum resolution, clarity and contrast across the entire zoom range, and all the way out to the edge of the image. Four of Sony's original AA (advanced aspherical) elements help minimize spherical, coma and chromatic aberrations.
