MINI MIGHTY Sony RX100 MARK VII

Sony’s seventh-generation compact camera series gets a performance boost

- ROHINTON MEHTA

The lightweight, shirt-pocketable 20.1MP advanced compact camera – RX100 Mark VII – was launched in India in October 2019. With a powerful Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200 mm equivalent zoom lens, backed by a newly designed 1-inch Type stacked CMOS imaging sensor and the latest BIONZ X imaging processor, the RX100 Mark VII is a formidable carry-around compact for day-to-day use. Let’s see how it performs on our test bench.

Beautifully finished, the Sony RX100 VII is a delight to hold. Weighing under 300g with the battery and memory card, it is a great compact camera to lug around the whole day. The camera, with its tough metal exterior and the base made with engineering plastic, appears adequately strong.

The RX100 VII is fun to use. Due to its light weight and compact size, it can stay comfortably in the pocket at all times, giving you the opportunity to capture that fleeting moment which you might have missed because you did not want to lug around your heavy D-SLR.
