Sony Cyber-shot RX10 review: impeccable performance and versatility make this cam an industry leader

To many photographers -- amateurs and professionals alike -- digital SLRs represent quality. The fact that you can remove the lens and swap it for anothe

Constant f/2.8-aperture 24-200mm lens ; Phenomenal image and video quality ; Excellent performance and battery life ; Dedicated exposure-compensation dial ; WiFi with NFC

Expensive

Sony's RX10 may be expensive, but this camera's a no-brainer if you have the $1,300 to spare.

Gavin Stoker

It looks like a DLSR—and costs about as much as one—but the DSC-RX10 has a built-in lens.

Solid feel magnesium alloy build apes a semi pro DSLR ; Tilting LCD and eye level viewfinder ; Image quality a knock out for photos and video

Big, permanently-attached lens = a bulky camera ; Priced as much as some DSLRs

Though the DSC-RX10 is not an inexpensive camera, when you add up what a semi-pro DSLR body and a similar zoom would cost, investing in the RX10 actually makes for a sound investment.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 is a bridge-style camera that gets just about everything right, and its steep asking price reflects its impeccable quality.

Impressively sharp 24-200mm f/2.8 lens. Big 1-inch image sensor. 10fps burst shooting. Speedy focus. 1080p60 video capture. Excellent customizable control layout. Sharp EVF. Tilting rear LCD. Multi Interface hot shoe. Integrated Wi-Fi with NFC.

Bulky. Expensive. External battery charger not included.

Remote control via your handheld device is also supported via the PlayMemories app. A Live View feed streams to its screen, and you can adjust the focal length of the lens, set the self-timer, adjust the flash output, and fire the shutter. There's no...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10: Potentially great $1,300 camera or overpriced misstep?

With a large sensor and high-quality lens, the RX10 promises great photo quality. But its feature set may not match what many folks are looking for.

Sony DSC-RX10

Sony has added an impressive zoom lens camera to its RX-series of compact fixed-lens cameras. The new DSC-RX10 features the same 1.0-inch 20.2-megapixel BSI CMOS image sensor that debuted in the RX100 last year. However, where the RX100 was only a 3.6x...

Sony RX10 Review

Conventional wisdom says that if you want the best pictures, you want interchangeable lenses. The Sony RX10 turns that theory on its head, substituting the interchangeable lenses for just the one fixed lens -- but what a great optic it is! With a...

Smaller than SLR/CSC with comparable lenses; Larger sensor than other bridge cameras; SLR-like body without the hassle of changing lenses; Weather-sealed; Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture; Generous zoom range; Great viewfinder; Swift performance; Plenty...

Expensive compared to other bridge cameras; Menus respond slowly after burst shooting; Lens doesn't zoom very quickly; High ISO performance doesn't quite match RX100 II.
