Upon hands on, I was kinda shocked to see the amazing outcome. I especially love the bokeh effects in the photos that I took effortlessly as the lens features seven-bladed circular aperture. During the whole hands on process, I only used Auto mode. As I’m not an avid photographer, I prefer less technical settings as possible to achieve good results.
This pocketable Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 will be in the stores early August 2012 with the retail price of RM 2,499.
Here are some of the photos I took using Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100:

kewl camera and lots of function…
Ya I totally love it!
The also have programme and manual function but I have limited time with the camera so I'm hoping to get a review unit soon 😀
Wow, this is not just another Compact camera. It's very close to dslr in terms of price, setting control and image quality.
A bit pricey but, if you dont like the bulky slr then this should be a decent alternative. Great pics there, BTW.
True! I'm considering this to replace my bulky 4 years old DSLR :p
Digital camera huh? But 2.5k, quite pricey T__T Love this bokeh effect as well! Not all camera can get bokeh effect with auto focus mode lehh, good camera indeed :O
since i know i won't be given those camera for free, so i think those food are more interesting to me!! hahahaha~~ 😀
Hahaha I also not getting it for free ler :/
I'm impressed with the pix! Very nice camera, dear!
Same here! I really love the results… it's like I'm a pro photographer! Hehe!
Pretty cool camera. Since I had my DSLR, lately I feel so lazy lugging the big ass camera everywhere I think I need a smaller, more compact camera but with DSLR photo quality. The photos from this camera doesn't look so bad! 🙂
That's exactly how I feel XD
The photos have awesome quality for such a small camera! I'm used to the fact that bigger pro-cameras take nice photos and smaller cameras are just for everyday use, lol 😛
It's different now, Yuki! 😀
Woahhh… the quality of the photo is indeed really good!!! Btw, so sorry have been super busy at work, don't have time to blog or read any blog posts. Hopefully things will get better over the next few weeks. =)
No problem! Hope you're doing well there 😀
the macarons look inviting:D love the petiteness of the camera. but the price is kinda steep:(
Haha I know right! But it's a high tech one so I guess that's why it's not cheap 🙂
I've saving to get any of Samsung's NX… the newest la better hehee.
But I see this Sony's spec really good also. And I like your pictures here.
Anyway, happy August, Charmaine!
Are you considering on getting it instead? 😀
Wow all looks really cute sweetie~~

I am impressed! O.O. Like totally. Never thought Samsung would catch up so fast with DSLR kind of quality. *mejelly*
It's Sony ah dear! :X
eh pai seh. LOL. I guess the Samsung one is another blog entry i read. fohhhh, malunya
hmmm, looks great. but I am still eye-ing for cannon digi cam XD
Why Canon le? 😉
My digicam sucks in dark places and this looks good! But the price…haha
wow the outcome is so nice!
Was going to test out this unit for my photography needs. How is it perform as compared with the NEX models?
I find it not as complicated as NEX models.
Probably they target beginners for this camera 😉
Looks really good, except it is a little pricy. But Sony products are always pricier than the rest. A/S is good thou, so I guess it comes with the price. But honestly, I own 4 Sony cameras and non gave me any warraanty issue. I guess they manage to deliver the quality eventhough cameras aren't really their forte.
Quality comes first! I'd rather pay a bit more than having to warranty! 😀
