SONY DSC-RX100

Would potentially be a higher score but I am struggling with the camera owing to the lack of an up to date manual on line. 2016 is not good enough

I’m very happy with the camera , but still learning all its features… Would be nice to have an owners manual included in the box .to help setting up the camera .

The camera is a Sony RX10 Mk5, bought new 14 August 2026. It replaced a Panasonic Lumix FZ300, also a "bridge" camera. My main use is for wildlife photography, especially dragonflies and other insects. I have mainly used the camera on AUTO so far. I have got a few good shots, mainly down to the extremely fast focusing, but have been struggling to get it to focus on what I want and not something else. This may require playing with the focus limits. I have it set to "Insect" but there are a lot of sizes and shapes of insects and I'm not convinced it knows all of them. Sharpness is pretty good but shots are often over-exposed, same as on my old Lumix, so I need to dial down the brightness and check the metering. I have used manual focusing - OK but I should get better at it. I've set it to put my shots in day folders but I have to change the folder names manually to get a proper date (YYYYMMDD). It would help if there was a real beginners guide as it is difficult to understand a sophisticated new camera with the on-line manual and the menus structured differently from anything I've used before.

i have bought a user manual, and find it both necessary(!) and very useful!

I have a dslr camera often missing shots because i didnt bring the right lens. The Sony RX10 Vi solves everything. I have everythjng I need in one place and still have the benefits of fully manual controls, amazing RAW files to work on at the other end. Definitely 5 stars. You will be hard pushed to bad review. I researched in detail before buying and can honestly say its brought some joy back into my photography. Its very versatile, i have taken photos of the moon during the day and the night. Awesome for birds and nature. Love it ❤️❤️

Really happy with performance. Why oh why have Sony ceased production of this fantastic camera? There really needs to be an RX10 Mk5. Come on Sony, you've got a world beater product here!

I have been take ing Photoes as a hobby for many years and really enjoy this hobby , this camera is ideal for taking pictures on the go and I would recommend it for its quality an sise

Great zoom lens with fast auto focus and tracking. Could be better in low light and controls are baffling for a long time.

Bought this for wildlife and landscape photography while travelling. Absolutely great camera, but a few things that detract: Zoom is meant to be 25x but it doesn’t appear to be. It’s quite heavy. Point focus is not available on auto mode. It’s absolutely awesome for birds in flight. Image quality is spot on.

Perfect for me! Partially disabled and no longer able to carry the range of lenses I need. Haven’t got to grips with amazing things it can do yet but loving it!
