T
he Sony RX100 series represents the top tier of the point-and-shoot
market. The seventh-generation model, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100
VII ($1,299.99), sports the 8x lens introduced in its predecessor, along
with an autofocus system that puts the camera on the same footing as the
company’s high-end interchangeable lens models. It’s a premium camera, with
a price to match, but backs it up with top-notch speed and optics. That earns it
our Editors’ Choice.
POCKET-SIZED POWERHOUSE
Smartphone cameras continue to get better thanks to advancements in image
processing—computational photography—but there are some who simply prefer
the feel of a dedicated camera in their hands, or want a bit more zoom power
than you get from a multi-lens iPhone.
