Review on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II camera, black by Agata Koscikiewicz ᠌

For 3 weeks I shot more than 100 GB of video and photos. The device from Sony turned out to be very worthy. And absolutely professional. I would not advise an amateur amateur to buy it. The camera is very tricky. You need to understand well what you want to achieve and fully understand the settings and management of it. Only then will there be a predictable result. To use it as a banal soap box is just stupid. Of course, it has a lot of perfectly working automatic modes. But all its charm lies precisely in the ability to fully control the filming process. And both photos and videos. Now in order. The lens is very high quality. The drop in detail at the edges of the frame, if any, is not critical. Distortion is minor. The matrix has noise, but even at high ISO values ​​it is quite moderate. The automatic white balance is not always adequate: it slightly leads to purple. But there are a huge number of presets, manual adjustment, color correction and even a choice of color temperature, which is especially important when shooting video. Autofocus is quite tenacious. There is manual focusing with a long-stroke ring on the lens. The camera has an excellent quality swivel display. It is really very convenient to use it. And it's good that he is not touch. In my opinion, push-button control is much more practical. Especially in the cold. And the display does not get dirty with your fingers. Almost everything is configurable in the camera. Wi-Fi controlled from iPad. Funny feature. I don't know how to put it into practice, but it works! I don't even know what I would like to improve in it. You need to understand that you cannot demand from the compact the convenience in work and the quality of a top-end DSLR. Alas, miracles do not happen. All improvements will inevitably lead to an increase in the size and weight of the device. And this is unacceptable. Therefore, I think that SONY DSC-RX100II is close to the limit of perfection of cameras of this type.
