Sharp 8x zoom lens. Electronic viewfinder. 1-inch sensor design. 20fps capture with subject tracking. Eye detection for people and pets. Tilting touch screen. 4K video with external microphone port.

Expensive. Can't start video while images are writing to card. Limited touch functions.

Bottom Line: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII point-and-shoot is a modest update to the RX100 VI, offering better autofocus and video stabilization for a bit more money.

The RX100 VII is the most capable pocket camera ever made, both in terms of video and stills. But on paper it doesn't seem to offer much over the RX100 VI: the lens is the same, the pixel count is the same, the body is unchanged and image/video quality...

Powerful video/stills quality ; Image stabilisation ; Mic input ; Fast and accurate autofocus ; Decent low-light performance ; Tiny size considering its 1in sensor ; Useful pop-up viewfinder

Battery doesn't last all that long ; Shutter button needs more feedback/travel and buttons are too small ; Zoom limits maximum aperture at longer focal lengths ; It's really expensive

About as perfect as small-scale, high-end compact cameras get. If you can afford one, that is, as this has never been a budget series.

Ultra-high-speed shooting ; Fast, high-tech AF ; Great 4K video

Fiddly EVF ; Slippery finish ; Small controls

On paper, the RX100 VII is amazing. Its size is amazing, its 24-200mm lens is pretty amazing, its high-speed shooting is amazing and its latest-gen AF system is amazing. The only thing that’s not amazing is the experience of actually using it. This is...

+ True DSLR-level imaging quality ; + Good for video recording ; + Built-in mic sounds good ; + Finally has an external mic jack ; + Compact ; + Can charge using powerbank ; + Can zoom a far distance ; + Touchscreen display

- Uses MicroUSB instead of USB-C ; - Battery life could be better ; - Easily overheats when recording in 4K ; - Adjusting ISO is a little troublesome ; - Pricey

The Sony RX100 VII is a great compact camera can offer you more than any smartphone cameras out there. It's way easier and the results are more consistent.
