Review: “This camera is a gem! I couldn’t take a bad photo with it. Beautiful color and sharpness. Macro photos look fantastic. The Zeiss lens is outstanding. I wish I could rate it 5 stars +!!”

“This Sony RX10 is the most versatile cam available. I would buy another and another, because it’s that good. Does it Blow a SLR out of the water. It depends on what you want. This cam is sharp as it gets. Low light is good, but not SLR great. Bright highlight is a little high also, but you can shoot in RAW with this cam and for all around versatility it’s awesome. This is no point and shoot cam. It’s a full function cam.”
