Pocket-Lint: The thriving high-end compact camera market is one area that Sony’s broad range of Cyber-shot models hasn’t infiltrated like many of its competitors. The current HX20V might teeter on the cusp of high-end, but it’s not got the guts to outperform the likes of the Olympus XZ-1 or Canon G1 X.

But that’s all set to change: The Sony RX100 is the company’s first large-sensor compact camera venture. Its 1-inch sensor is around four times larger than those in most standard compact cameras, including the aforementioned HX20V. (Photo, Sony Cyber-shot RX100) 4.5/5
