Ultimately, we love the Sony RX10. In fact, we struggled to populate the cons section down below with anything other than a high price tag. But your $1,300 goes a very long way here, and if you need to capture sharp images and full-HD video clips in pretty much any lighting condition, with a vast focal range, you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable shooter. This is the best fixed-lens camera we've ever used, and we wouldn't be surprised if the RX10 Mark II, whenever that comes about, is the only comparable model worth considering.
