Sony RX10, 1" sensor, big F2.8 constant zoom, video oriented machine

The camera feels very solidly built, no rattling or tolerances, with a great feel to both the metal and plastic parts. The buttons and dials all have a great tactile response.

RX10′s autofocus was operating relatively quickly, nowhere as fast as that of Olympus’s latest Micro Four Thirds cameras, but fast enough for most purposes.

i'm encouraged

@imdjay Yes, I have no idea why the whites were so over-exposed in the disco, and the reviewer should surely have realized that Sony has a "low" microphone setting available. In fact, first technically deficient video I have seen from Gordon. But definitely encouraging. Video is a little soft, like the 2013 Sony camcorders. Easily sharpened. Zooming was smooth, with no obvious focus hunting, definitely encouraging...

When I look at it esthetically want to not like it for technical reasons, but when I simply watch it, it is engaging and connects with me as if I'm there. This will be a great tool for those who just want document what is in front of them a good amount of quality. I can see this being the what I recommend to friends and family who want to shoot good video, without having to do any camera system building in the future. This at $995 would be a perfect buy for many. Too bad it is priced above the magic $1,000 price point.

Are these photos just badly taken or is the camera just not very good? They are some of the noisiest samples i've seen for a while

Some lower light stuff

Is it me, or does it seem like the camera has limited DR, and highlights blow out harshly? While it has good detail the DR seems more like consumer camcorder, looks good until it fails catastrophicly.

Also, some highlight lens flair. An all in one for JJ Abrams to take on vacation?

Steve Huff's video sample

Shot the Sony RX10 at the State Fair to see how the video quality would be. It was dark and I shot in 24P. I feel the camera is spectacular with video. The on board mics are fantastic, the IS works well and the lens covers 24-200 with a constant f/2.8 aperture.
