Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII review
Test scoreShow Context
- Compact camera
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII is the latest camera in the premium compact range for 2019. Marketed around unrivalled autofocus, it promises super-fast focusing in just 0.02 seconds - using a combination of technologies, plus a large zoom range, 4K HDR video recording and a newly developed image processor which claims to give realistic and vivid textures and skin tones. We've put it through our rigorous camera testing to find out just how good it really is, and whether it's worth the £1,000 plus investment.
