Everyman camera

What can I say, this camera is a video workhorse! 100mbps 4k(uhd), 1080p 120/60/30, and slow motion 240/480/960! I regulary use RED cameras, and I have to say I am VERY impressed and please with the video quality that comes out of this camera.

Announced in June 2015, Sony's Cyber-shot RX10 II introduces many of the same new technologies as the RX100 IV (which we reviewed in November 2015 but in a larger, SLR-like body with a long zoom lens.

Photography is my hobby, I recently downsized from a full frame SLR as it was too heavy and awkward to carry. The Sony RX10ii is not my first bridge camera but will be my last. I was hoping for better quality for ￡1000+.

Superb Quality For Type

Bad Battery Life; Complicated Controls; Lens Knock; Not Good In Low Light

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II is, just like its predecessor, a camera that's going to divide opinion. On paper its 24-200mm f/2.8 equivalent lens and 1-inch sensor combination sounds like the bees knees. Until, that is, you see the physical size of this camera: it's big, like DSLR-scale big.

Constant f/2.8 aperture and great lens quality; physical aperture ring control; weather-sealed pro-spec construction; fast autofocus and decent close-up ability; great tilt-angle LCD and built-in electronic viewfinder; ace slow-mo and 4K video capture

Limited upgrades compared to original model; no touchscreen controls; lens slow to travel through zoom; focus selector positioning not ideal; maximum focal length limitations; no pinpoint or more complex autofocus options; it's really expensive

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II is an update to the original RX10 (mark I) which retains its predecessor's 8.3x 24-200mm constant f2.8 zoom lens. The most significant update is to the sensor, which retains the older model's 20 Megapixel resolution as well as its 1 inch physical dimension, but introduces...

The RX10 mark II is an excellent example of a product that has almost everything you need for stills and video in one package. The versatility of the lens plays an important role, as do the quality of the sensor and the video capabilities.

A formidable camera at an equally imposing price, it’s the Sony RX10 II’s slow motion modes that really stand out

You might look at the price above and think, 'Wow, that's expensive for a bridge camera.' You'd be right too, except Sony's RX10 II is special.

Sony has once again shown that it has the point-and-shoot game figured out. So much so that it continues to be its own biggest competitor. Both the RX10 and RX100 lines share the same problem: their predecessors are just too good, cost less, and are still on the market.
