Sony RX100 VII DxOMark Tested

DxOMark has tested the new RX100 VII compact camera today. According to DxOMark, the score for Sony RX100 VII’s image sensor is 63. It doesn’t quite match the exceptional imaging performance of the previous generation of 1-inch type BSI CMOS sensor.



Conclusions from DxOMark:

With sensors larger than those found in typical compacts, offering 20MP resolution and high image quality with low noise, and with dynamic range approaching that of some interchangeable-lens camera, the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 series has come to define an enthusiast’s advanced compact ever since it was introduced in 2012.

Although it doesn’t quite match the exceptional imaging performance of the previous generation of 1-inch type BSI CMOS sensor, the Sony RX100 VII’s newly-developed “stacked” sensor comes very close. With its built-in DRAM and enhanced PDAF providing a number of benefits, along with the Real-Time Tracking AF feature, it seems a fair tradeoff. All in all, with its new capabilities and solid image quality, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII looks like one of the most compelling compacts available.
