Sony rx100 ii vs sony rx100?

On paper, the Sony RX100 II and the original Sony RX100 are nearly the same camera. Both have a 20.2-megapixel 1-inch sensor, the same built-in 10-37mm f/1.8-4.9 lens, the same stabilisation, and the same fixed-lens body. The main difference is the year: the Sony RX100 was announced in 2012, and the Sony RX100 II followed in 2013.

I'd go with the original only if it's clearly cheaper and you don't mind its age. Otherwise, the later Sony RX100 IV and Sony RX100 V are newer options in the same series if you want to look further up.

If you're not sure a pocket compact is right for you, the first camera guide explains when a mirrorless body with a kit zoom makes more sense.
