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.

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.

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.

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 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...

The Sony RX10 is a cousin of the much smaller RX100 II, which was quite popular due to its size/performance ratio. Both cameras share common traits like the 1” sensor, but the RX10 has the benefit of getting the latest hardware from Sony, namely the...
