Product Reviews

I bought this camera in January 2018, and loved using it. Photo quality was great, nice balance of camera weight and features. I replaced my previous SLR with this because I was tired of carrying extra lenses, etc. All was fine until I'd had it 3 years, when it decided to quit. I sent it to a Sony recommended authorized service center, who diagnosed it as a failed lens assembly. BUT . . . THEY DIDN"T HAVE THE PART, AND SONY NO LONGER HAS THE PART! I then tried a second authorized repair shop in case they had the part in their stock - no luck! So I'm out the money that I paid for a camera that I loved after only 3 years' use because of Sony's inability to adequately support their product.

Purchased recently, waiting to apply for the cashback which for some reason you have to wait 30 days! Anyway I intend this camera to replace my other Dslr camera for general use. So far its impressive but even as a fairly competent photographer its quite complicated. It handles well and would be fine for most professional photography.

When I don’t want to worry about changing lens this is the camera I take with me. It feels comfortable in my hand and has an array of useful features including it’s very high shutter speed of 1/32,000 which makes it possible to shoot with the lens wide open at f2.8 in bright conditions. The aperture ring is a nice touch. It’s very much a tool for videography as well as photography. It would have been nice if there was a vertical grip for the camera. 4K videos look fantastic. The contrast based AF works well for general photography but does not have the focusing consistency with some moving subjects.

Replaced a interchangeable lens camera for this one.

I have owned this camera for 5 years and it never ceases to amaze me. I am a professional and I have DSLRs with better resolution, a pocketsize LX100 that is a fun tool, but this camera still blows my mind every once in a while on what it can do with such a small sensor, and for video/vlogging it's top notch. You have to work hard to take a bad picture with this camera. I still haven't figured out everything it can do with slow motion and I love how it feels in my hand. And, my 10-year-old granddaughter takes awesome pictures with it. If I'm not on a job this is my go to for hiking, camping and vacations. The camera's drawbacks are mostly in the menu design. It could be better. Oh, it's built like a tank. When it's in your hand you know you are going to create a picture not click a snapshot.

I spent some time looking for a camera that would give me consistent excellent images. I was aware that I have limitations technically as I have had a stroke. The RX10ii has exceeded my expectations,allowing me to try different styles of photography.

Very good camera, bought it to supplement Sony rx100 m3

Very easy to use and accepting of new photographers

Bought this bridge camera as fed up with changing lenses on previous SLR digital Cannon. Many photographers buy SLR's with large telephoto's and wide angle lenses which are hardly ever used or necessary and are bulky expensive and heavy to carry around. Changing lenses can also become a pain. I bought the Sony RX10 ii instead of the iii or iv as i am not a fan of touch screen operation and at £780 after cashback a great price for a quality camera. The still pictures and video on this camera are excellent and as a fairly light weight all in one camera you will struggle to find a worthy competitor unless you pay well over £1200.

I was looking high and low for this Superbly well built and designed P&S camera for my travelling partners . Being a Professional Street and Landscape photographers for more than 45 over years . This is One that I cannot Live without it everyday every each day . Its even better than the latest RX10M4 in many ways except the M4 have long tele and just a tag bit faster in the focusing with a few more features that I do not need it all for still images only .The IQ is way above my imagination if one do not print Fine Art Print no more than A1+ size in printing then its the best of the best with such Superior Lens by Zeiss or I can say its even better than the present RX10M4 in Lens Quality . I have owned a from RX10 to RX10M4 and this is One Model that I missed out in my photography Gears in my bag which I got lucky this time that I got it before EOL. Do not trust my words .. Just buy it and compare it and you will know why .. This is one of the Best P&S camera as I repeat again as no other could come close for the price ,weather shower proof , robustness and reliability .Hope to have a Better one than this in the near future by Sony ....Its the way to go if you are street photographer.Cheers

Bought the camera a couple of months ago and am still learning how to get the best results but it just gets better. This photograph was taken in bright sunshine with the train travelling at speed.

I bought this as an upgrade to the Mark 1 version as it has the ability to use additionally available PlayMemory apps. I was happy with the first version and expect to be even happier now that I can use Multiple Exposure app.

Enjoyable camera to use that rewards with lovely images. Love the 2.8 aperture throughout. Only two grips - it's very slow to turn on, and connecting to a smartphone isn't easy or intuitive.

I recorded a 4 day concert but the batteries drained even plugged in and it died... bad design... fix it.

if you want to use profisional camera and dont want to lost time and money for details this camera for this

I bought my first RX10 ii as a handy b-roll video camera for my much larger (and more expensive) Sony EX1R video cameras, but I very quickly realised the image quality of the RX10 ii was far superior to that of the older cameras. The video codec proved far easier to colour correct too. Very soon, I decided I would use two RX10's so that both produced closely matched colours and quality. At about this time, Sony released the RX10 iii with a 600mm (equivalent) zoom, so I was initially tempted to go for that until I discovered it didn't have a built in ND filter. As I shoot most of my footage in s-log2, the built-in ND is virtually essential because of the increased ISO setting, so I opted for another RX10 ii. It's very easy to use, and image quality for both video and stills is excellent. Another big plus for me is the constant f2.8 lens. A big drawback, however, is the zoom. There is a hugely pronounced kick in the zoom which is really annoying. Even with image stabilisation on, the kick is still apparent. It's so bad that I returned the first camera that was sent to me, thinking it was a fault, but the replacement was just the same, so I decided to stick with it. The camera is so good in nearly every other way, that I decided to put up with the kick in the zoom. Fortunately, the image stabilisation in Final Cut Pro X will usually take the kick out, but it's a pity Sony couldn't. Of course, the zoom kick doesn't apply when you're shooting still pictures, so I guess this is why Sony allowed it to stay. Overall though, I'm absolutely delighted with the RX10 mk ii. I will only replace the two I have when a similarly priced (and sized) camera is available which will shoot 4K video at 50 or 60 frames per second.

had it 4 juzt 5 dayz, and feeling great about thiz kamera! fantaztik feel, and great size! hatz and kapz off 2 sony, keep up the innovations sony, thankz

Two weeks since purchase: the camera is superb with unmatched features, build and performance but the "instructions" are appalling. The camera settings are so numerous that Sony must have decided there were too many to describe their access. Time on the net and/or YouTube is essential and well worth it.

4K video on this camera looks fantastically great! Also, the still image taken looks awesome and just doing as well as a DSLR as well.

This camera has amazing lens ,very good for low light photo and video. For amateur photographer this rx10 II is best camera on the market. Don't be shy and try use manual mode,learn learn and one day you will decide get A7R II!:)

Outdoor shooting + digital zoom Good quality phtos

Very good Bridge Compact camera. I purchased the camera for still photography as it is of a good light weight design. As I ware spectacles I find the electronic viewfinder very good, particularly in low light situations.

I have owned this camera for just three weeks but already have found its low light performance to be excellent. The clear zoom feature works very well so to all intents and purposes it has a 400mm reach. I have not yet tested its video performance but know I will have to upgrade my computer to run 4k video. I am looking forward to checking the HFR features. A good all round travel camera which I will be taking on my next holiday.

i buy this sony use for sell my content in stock both photo and video, easy to use :))

All the features of a DSLR in a convenient bridge format. Like the camera very much and look forward to many years of happy photography with it.

Taken the plunge and sold all my lenses and DSLR as for me there is now a camera that "has it all" in one ergonomic and portable device. And this is it!

So far, this camera is proving to be a really good buy. The OS is nice and there is so much functionality. Tried the HFR recording and was very pleased.

Everything is Ok, but in the box of camera no include MANUAL and SOFTWARE

This was an upgrade from a RX100M2 as I wanted a camera with a longer range on the zoom and a constant f number. I was impressed with the jpeg's out of the RX100M2 and the RX10M2 does not disappoint! The results are excellent requiring very little post processing. In fact I shoot JPEG only as I see no real advantage shooting RAW so far. It won't replace my DSLR for bird photography or my plane photography. But it does everything else extremely well. I find the camera very easy to use and love the fact it handles like a DSLR. Two things I would comment on, I would like to be able to view images without turning the camera on like the RX100M2. The other thing I would like is a totally manual zoom, but that may be just me. I have found the lens suffers with some chromatic aberration in high contrast areas. This can be removed in software.

I bought the DSC-RX10M2 as an additional camera for its video capabilities and as a do-it-all camera for when I don't wish to carry a camera and separate lenses. The product has lived up to my expectations.
