CHIP OnlineBeste Komaptkamera bis 350 EuroReleaseJanuary 2015

All in all, there is no camera in the price range up to 350 euros that is better positioned than the Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100. Sony has given the compact camera a good set of features, the speed is great and the image quality is particularly good.
