'If you’re after an all-purpose camera you’ll never have to upgrade with lenses, and don’t mind that it's not far off an entry-level DSLR in size, the RX10 II is simply excellent. '
One-size-fits-all bridge cameras are often touted as DSLR alternatives, but they’ve always lacked great performance and image quality – until Sony’s Cyber-shot RX10 showed up, that is.
'when the light's not so good, capture lag jumps to an unacceptably high 2.2 seconds; typical shot-to-shot time is a seriously sluggish 3.3 seconds, which jumps to a snailish 4 seconds with flash.'
'The placement of this jack on the bottom of the camera is unfortunate because users will have to rest the S700 on its front or back in order to plug it into a television, printer, or computer.'
'Unlike most ultra zooms, the S700 is hardly expandable at all.'
