The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI delivers premium image quality, fit and finish, and features in a pocketable form factor, but demands a hefty price.

The Sony RX100 VI is a spectacularly capable travel camera, combining a flexible zoom range with impressive autofocus. But there's no getting around the fact that it's an expensive camera, and a longer lens comes with certain trade-offs. Read on for...
The RX100 VI is something of a departure for the RX100 series: offering a more extensive zoom range but giving up some of its large sensor's low light ability by pairing it with a less bright lens. This makes it much more of a do-everything family...

The update to the RX100 series adds a Hybrid log gamma profile for HDR capture and extends the lens from 24-70mm to 24-200mm for more general-purpose flexibility.

What We Love. If you're someone who is a casual shooter looking for a sleek compact camera with a lot of potential, you'll definitely appreciate the Sony RX100 VI. It's a powerful little thing--and by little, we mean your smartphone might be only...

While the Sony DSC-RX100 VI is a very capable bridge camera with powerful features, at $1,200, it's too pricey to recommend to most people. For $400 less, the Panasonic Lumix ZS200 offers about the same image quality and an even a longer optical zoom...
Very good quality and versatility in bright light ; Excellent electronic viewfinder ; Many shooting modes ; Lots of high-quality video options ; Shoots up to 24 frames per second ; RAW files
It's expensive ; Images and video are noisy in some low-light scenarios ; Can't capture time-lapse video clips
The Sony DSC-RX100 VI offers powerful features and very-good-quality images and video, but it's extremely pricey.

Sony RX100 VI review: What you need to know about Sony's compact camera, including the the RX100 VI's release date, price and specs.
Impressive lens gives sharp images all through its really useful zoom range ; Very good image quality with reliable exposure ; Remarkably fast autofocus and continuous shooting means you should never miss a shot ; Pop-up viewfinder and tilting screen...
Small, slippery body is far too easy to drop without an accessory grip ; Far too expensive compared to its competitors ; Tiny buttons can make operation frustrating ; Comparatively poor battery life
If you can afford it, and are prepared to put up with its foibles, the Sony RX100 VI is a phenomenally capable pocket travel camera, if not quite as good value as Panasonic’s TZ series.

The Sony RX100 VI manages to mix true pocketability with a range of powerful high-end features
High image quality from one-inch sensor ; Tilting touch-sensitive screen ; 4K video
Very high price ; Slightly awkward handling ; Limited zoom range
Expert review by : Phil Hall (techradar.com)
Sony's pocket powerhouse
Built-in EVF ; Compact design ; 24fps burst shooting ; Sophisticated AF system ; Excellent image quality ; Advanced 4K video
Some handling issues ; No built-in ND filter ; No microphone port ; Card slot only UHS-I ; Limited touchscreen control ; Pricey compared to rivals
In many respects the RX100 VI is one of the best compact cameras out there. Certainly there's nothing else that can touch it when it comes to performance, while the images from the 20.1 megapixel sensor are excellent. But its strength is also its...

If you're looking for an ultra-compact camera that can deliver great-looking photos and video in almost any situation, and you're willing to pay a big
Tiny size considering its 1in sensor ; Superb photo and video quality ; Fast and accurate autofocus ; Useful pop-up viewfinder ; Sturdy metal body
It’s very expensive ; Small buttons might irritate some ; New zoom limits maximum aperture at longer focal lengths
Expert review by : Natalya Paul (stuff.tv)
A teeny zoom point-and-shoot compact camera that's good at almost everything
Stunning image quality ; Lovely build ; Excellent AF
Battery drains quite quickly ; It’s so expensive
A dinky yet luxurious point-and-shoot that will zoom in on the action with razor precision delivering stunning images and video.
