Wonderful camera for hiking and travel.
I bought the DSC RX100 VII to have a camera that is more functional and gives better image quality than a phone or waterproof camera and is easier to carry, especially for hikes and travel than my DSLR. It has met those needs wonderfully. The compact size makes it a joy to carry, especially with the Sony LCJ-RXK Jacket Case. With that case, it is like carrying the ancient Leica I used in my youth. The compact camera rides almost unnoticed at your... Show More

Great Camera in a Small Size
I was looking for something to take when I didn't want to carry my Nikon D750 (which is a GREAT camera, BTW, but heavy with all the lenses). I bought the Sony as a result of reading reviews and word of mouth from others who had purchased it. I've been taking it along with me for everyday outings just to get a feel for its size and functionality and I have been very impressed. DO NOT except the same quality as a full-sized DSLR; but for the size o... Show More

So Underrated!
Yes, it's expensive, and yes, it's no longer an f/1.8 at the wide end, but the added audio-in means it's now perfectly acceptable for using in tight situations or really any situation where getting the shot is the priority over it looking perfect. I bought this for a documentary (involving travel) to match with A7III's and I ended up using it as an A cam almost! Having a 24-200mm equivalent in that size is hard to beat, and it's got all the same ... Show More

First Impressions - Fantastic Little Camera
I was gifted the camera and will use it mainly for travel photography, as a bridge between my ever-present iPhone and my bulky full frame mirrorless and DSLR kits. The build quality, mechanics, electronics, and optics are all excellent. Hey, it is a Sony! This is an unbelievably versatile and diminutive camera which helps you create high quality stills and videos. I'm very happy with it so far, especially after a couple minor modifications. Thes...

Amazing camera but too $$$$$
This Sony RX series I have been using from day 1 literally. I had every model up to the Sony RX100V and then stopped. I was always blown away with the image quality that came out of this tiny point and shoot and rivaled the files with my D800 at the time. This latest 7 series everyone talks about v blogging blah blah mic input. Yeah I get it the mic input is really welcomed and with that said now doesn't have a built in ND filter so kind of getti...

A superb camera
I've been a professional photojournalist for 40 years, used all the top-of -the-line models from both Nikon (limited to film) and Canon (up to the 1D Mark IV). With few exceptions, such as needing a very long, 300mm or more, at f/2.8, lens, this camera can shoot ANY assignment a photojournalist is handed and do it with an image quality equaling or surpassing a top of the line full size DSLR. It has a learning curve you must master, but so does ev... Show More

Great upgrades to an already Great Camera !
I have been using the DSC RX100 VA since it came out and while it is a great camera that I will continue to use in situations where the wider aperture is needed. The added features on the DSC RX100 VII are awesome ! I like the face and eye tracking on this model. It locks on so quick. The added focal length reach is nice to have also. The one step pop up viewer is easier and quicker to use than the two step one on the RX100 VA. The Video capabili... Show More

Beautifully engineered
This camera is beautifully made. But there are some challenges. I spent an entire afternoon figuring out the menu options and still only got half way through them. There are 38 folders each with up to 5 options and these options themselves have a number of sub-options. Good news is you get a huge amount of control, bad news is that you have to work your way through them and try and learn where they all are. For instance Color temperature choice i... Show More

still the best pocket-sized camera for me
I've only had it for a few weeks so I really haven't had time to put it thru its paces. I previously owned the Mark III model, and from a use perspective, Sony hasn't changed much of anything. So I'm quite comfortable with it. I am blown away by the quality of the images when zoomed out to 200mm. Its the zoom range that partially sold me on this camera. Auto focus is fast with a lot of flexibility in how to set it. Have only tried the slower cont... Show More

Best compact camera
The Sony DSC-RX100VII is the third installment of this line for me having the II and IV before it. Movies and still have exceptional color. the menu system is based pretty much on its predecessors, for good or bad. I have become used to the menus so it is not a chore. There is plenty of customization available. The Function menu and the My Menu provide me with enough quickly available commands so it is pretty easy to shoot with. The 24-200 equiva... Show More

Best Travel Camera I've Owned
I bought the camera several weeks ago right before a two week trip to Europe: Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar. This was an upgrade to my previous travel camera, the RX100 M2. It was time for an upgrade. The autofocus capability is superb but the key feature for a travel camera is the 24-200 mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lense. Along with the compact size, the zoom, the autofocus features, this is the perfect travel camera. Add to it... Show More

Much better than my RX 100 V
The autofocus is amazing but the price fixing has to stop. Sony already lost a Supreme Court case concerning price fixing so I'm surprised to see Sony has not stopped this practice. Went to several different retailers but all of them are forced by Sony to sell at the same price or Sony will cut off the retailer. Collusion to fix prices is illegal in Canada. Not sure in the US as it seems like big Sony money can buy almost anything. The ergonomics... Show More

Awesome camera
Great little camera, its small for my big hands to buying a third party grip, but the camera does come with camera strap eyelets so you can attach a camera strap (not included ) super fast focus, love shooting at 20 FPS. The issue I had was the sometime magenta when shooting contrasty images like,if I focused on a dark area of the frame the white or very bright sky was magenta, I never got an answer after several attempts from customer support, ...

Fast, Accurate Focusing - Highly Recommended
Truly amazing what Sony has done for the compact camera. Zero blackout during high speed shooting, huge! Focus tracking is incredible...fast and accurate. I tracked my 4 year old running through water spray on slip and slide and his face was always in focus. This will be a great camera on the ski slopes, mountain biking and hiking. Camera feels solid but I would recommend the Sony rubber grip to prevent drops...not to big so it doesn't impact po... Show More

Impressive little camera
So Ive only had this for a couple weeks, but Ive used it quite a bit. It took a minute to get used to how small it is, but the plastic grip add on is helpful. Ive been shooting Nikon for 30 years, but I found changing settings to be pretty intuitive. I like everything about it... except macro shooting. And I shoot a lot of macro. There is a scene mode for macro, but you cant control focus or exposure. So its basically useless. If you shoot 24mm ... Show More

I love this camera!
I owned the RX100 mV and thought it was a fine camera. But I said I would upgrade when it had a longer zoom and a different means of popping out the viewfinder. My glasses kept pushing the viewfinder in and it was bothersome. So the VI came out and I thought about it since it answered both of my issues with the earlier model. But, I figured the V was working great and I had no real complaints so why rush? And now the VII is here and I am very ple... Show More

So much in such a small package
.The Sony DSC-RX100 VII was the choice I came up with for the MOST BANG for the buck. It will shoot like a pro camera, but not have the weight and drawbacks of a pro camera for travel. The primary function is as a travel camera. I then looked at the packages out there and the options I MIGHT want as extras and this package that gave me the handle AND an SD card seemed, for the money, to deliver the package I wanted to hit the road with.

Just what the doc ordered
Ive been looking for a point & shoot camera that I can take to venues that dont allow cameras with changeable lenses or for when I just feel like slipping it into my pocket. Not much available unless you want to sacrifice a lot of quality. I tried this camera in the IV version but found that the 24-70 was too limiting although the low light performance was pretty good. The VI has it all and most important Im very pleased with the images even if r... Show More

Excellent Camera, great B&H turnaround delivery.
Positives: Great photos; solid zoom; permits serious focusing in bright light situations because you are not just depending on screen; offers many benefits of DSLR type camera functionalities without bulk. The camera is a challenge to protect in rough terrain. I just used this extensively in Galapagos Islands where we are dealing with sand, salt spray, high heat and humidity. It stood up to the environment but it is advisable to have a protective case/covering that will protect in this type of environment. Only disappointment is that the lens is not designed to go down to f1.8.

Better than my RX100 VI
I like this new camera for only one reason: its Bluetooth. (I ordered it right away the moment it was told that it has Bluetooth). Yes, now I can take family pictures that also include me! With my other RX100 I have to use the Vello Plus Remote control which is too inconvenient to carry around. Its AF is (may be!) a little bit faster than my RX100 VI. But most of all its picture sharpness is what I really love Sony brand name. I sold all my Canon gears (Canon 5D III) (and loose tons of money as well) and switched to Sony AR7 III since last year and have no complain at all.

Paper is cheap!
I upgraded from version 2 to 7 and the added reach of the lens is very helpful. Unfortunately the camera does not come with a paper user's manual. You would think that considering the price, SONY would provide a paper instruction manual for this relatively complicated instrument. Like version 2, the low light noise is significant. On the whole, however, this little gem is great for travel and street photography and I'm happy to own it, C'mon SONY...get a little generous with your users who are certainly generous with their purchase. Give us a paper manual!

Soft on Edges at Focal Lengths Less than 70mm
I am a happy owner of Sony RX100 IV. Decided to get the VII for the extra focal length. I shoot landscape so smaller aperture wasn't a concern for me. Unfortunately, when I tested the camera against my Sony RX100 IV the edges were soft compared to my mark IV up to focal length of 70 mm. Not horribly soft, but significant and immediately obvious when photos taken by both cameras using the same settings and scene were compared in lightroom. Hopefully just a one off, disappointed though and decided to return rather than exchange.

Excellent camera for video
I use the camera for journal video clips in 4K. The new tracking on the M7 that locks onto face and eye is a marvel. No more focus hunting in the takes as I move about. The camera always keeps me locked in. For vblogger or enthusiasts, or pros who need a B camera journal tool, this is the best (and only one out there for now). The only drawback is that the camera still utilizes X batteries, which drain down quickly. Still with a couple of spare batteries, this is a great tiny workhorse. Thank you, Sony.
