Is the sony rx10 ii good for street photography?

The Sony RX10 II can work for street, mainly because it's a fixed-lens compact. Nothing to swap, and the 24-198mm-equivalent zoom covers most street distances from a wide view to a tight crop. Its f/2.8 aperture also helps in dimmer streets.

It's a bigger camera than a pocket model, though, and the long end is more telephoto than most street shooters need. Its 1-inch sensor is smaller than APS-C, so it's not the choice for low light. Street says a small, quiet camera beats megapixels, so check how the RX10 II feels in your hands before you buy. For the sensor trade-offs, see Sensor sizes.
