I have just replaced my little Sony RX100 M2 that was far too small and as a serious DSLR user I could not get to grips with holding and composing pictures, with the new larger Sony DSC-RX10 bridge camera. The test picture attached is of Titchfield Abbey my local test subject.

I am amazed with the quality of the electronic viewfinder and it works with the ease of a high quality DSLR, but much smaller and very suitable for overseas air travel when the size of my bag full of Nikon D800 and lenses would get in the way of a family holiday!

The Zeiss 35mm equivalent 24-200mm f2.8 lens is very sharp and with Exmor CMOS 20.9 MP chip and built in steady shot there is no need for interchangable lenses. It has pro level weather sealing and all shooting options any serious photographer could need. The full HD AVCHD Movie mode also is easy to use with good sound and the sready shot gives well usable movie with hand holding. The auto focus and electronic zoom are also very good for movie!

Comparing first test results with pix from my D300 I would say they are as good if not better and exhibition quality A3 plus prints are no problem. On Monday we are off to Amsterdam for a few day so I will report back with more info when I get back. (Another D800 friend of mine also has one and is so pleased with it talked me into getting one.)
