great camera but very slippery
This just arrived a week ago and I've taken about 500 pics and 6 avchd movies. Over-all a great camera experience - super picture and video quality as other reviewers rave about. Incredibly small, but heavy for the size with a nice solid feel. Very nice controls, UI, and easy to customize. Amazing lcd screen - not having a view finder has not been an issue, even on a sunny day on a boat.Two main issues so far:1) Super slippery plastic on the front left side (where your right hand grips it) makes me wonder how long it will be before I drop it. In fact the first 'real' picture I took from the camera almost didn't happen - it nearly slipped out of my hand when I pulled it out of my camera case and went overboard on the first day. I don't like wrist straps, and want to keep it small enough for a pocket so using a case all the time doesn't work for me. Why didn't Sony use a plastic that was rough enough to provide some grip in the front? Or even better put a little rubber strip down the front side where your finger tips rest. Didn't they read any of the reviews of the Canon S90 / S95 / S100 where people complained about trouble gripping the earlier models? Does Sony want to repeat that history? It's not a deal breaker, but this tiny camera does have some heft to it so you really do need something to hold on to. The choice of form over function here is a design flaw that is really inexcusable. Few would pay $650 for a good looking camera... those of us who will want a super-functional camera. Arg. So unnecessary to have this problem.2) My old camera (canon a710is) generates movies that download automatically with my pics to my macbook pro running snow leopard. This Sony generates movies in a much better format, but it looks like I'm going to have to do some work to figure out how to even download them to my computer (they don't get copied over automatically with the pics). And when I finally do get them on the macbook, according to what I've read, I'm either going to have to upgrade iPhoto (I have a 2006 or so version), find some shareware app to view the avchd format, or buy a fancy editing/viewing program (FCP or APS?). Anyway, turns out it's not plug and play for movies for me and my old mac.

The Incredible RX100!
I've owned numerous point and shoot cameras throughout the years from various manufacturers (Sony, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, etc.). Although I have been fairly satisfied with their results, I've been wanting to upgrade to a camera with better picture quality (larger sensor), but have resisted getting a heavy, bulky DSLR. For the past year, I've been considering the line of 4/3 format cameras such as the models from Olympus and Panasonic, as well as the Nikon 1, but still felt these cameras were not as compact as I would like. When the Sony DSC-RX100 was introduced, I was immediately impressed with it's specs (20MP 1" CMOS sensor, F1.8 Zeiss lens, 1080p HD video, etc). After reading all the rave reviews from professionals and consumers alike, I decided to order the camera. It arrived a day before my vacation trip to Cancun, so I didn't have a lot of time to become familiar with the camera's functions. What I found was that the camera was incredibly easy to operate despite the vast assortment of functions and shooting modes. It's bright, hi-res 3" screen is easily viewable in direct sunlight. The controls are well placed and easy to access. The camera's size and weight is well balanced - definitely pocketable! The fit and finish is very high quality. The RX100's most impressive attribute is its picture quality! The camera produces very crisp and detailed pictures! As I reviewed my photos during my trip on the camera's screen, I could tell the pictures were brighter and sharper than those I was accustomed to with my other point and shoots. However, when I returned home from my trip and downloaded the pictures on my PC, I was floored by the sharpness of the pictures. I was amazed that I was able to crop some pictures to a quarter of their original size and still maintain sharp detail. I also took some 1080p 60p video which looked amazing on my HDTV. My only complaint is that the camera's aluminum case makes it ease to slip out of your hands. It would have been nice if Sony had included a textured grip or surface on the front side. The easy fix is to use the included wrist strap.I'm so glad I held off for this incredible camera. I highly recommend it.
