The best compact on the market The best compact in history Certainly, it's one of the most powerful. It's easy to quantify that in terms of its sheer ability to gather and process high-resolution imagery, but it's the camera's features that really elevate it.

Great video features; Beautifully made; beautifully small; Excellent stills gathering performance

Image quality good rather than great; Relatively poor low-light images

The RX100 VII could be a great choice for travellers with strict weight requirements - and deep pockets

Point-and-shoot cameras are trending toward the endangered species list. For typical, day-to-day photos and videos, there’s the smartphone. If you want to capture action, there’s the GoPro, and if you want to make art, there are higher-end cameras with larger sensors.

Excellent image quality; Flexible video options; Lens has a lot of range; Still fits in a coat pocket

A mic jack is great; but there’s nowhere to mount the mic; Still needs a headphone jack; Lens isn’t as bright as prior RX100 models; Expensive

Not to be repetitive but this is the part of my reviews were I usually decry the lack of models who don‘t want to pose for studio portraits but nobody would ever, by any stretch of the imagination, consider the RX100 VII to be a portrait camera.

I bought this Camera for video filming use, I own an AX700 which is too bulky to carry around for candid shots and so the RX is an ideal size for this, if I was to be picky I would say that I wished the screen was brighter in Movie mode 4K and 4K60p should be mandatory now on all Sony cameras.

Sony proves once again that it has some amazing technology in its arsenal that be packed down into the tiniest of bodies. If you’ve got the cash to spend and you want the best possible camera for your pocket, this is without doubt the one to go for. For those with a more sensible budget, it’s worth looking at older RX100 models, as well as those from Canon’s Powershot range – particularly the G7X Mark III if vlogging is your thing.
