Sony rx100 vs sony rx100 ii?

On paper, these two are nearly twins. Both have a 20.2-megapixel 1-inch sensor, the same built-in 10-37mm f/1.8-4.9 zoom (which frames like 28-100mm on full frame), and the same stabilisation. The only difference my pages list is the announcement year: the Sony RX100 came out in 2012, and the Sony RX100 II in 2013.

So the choice comes down to price and condition rather than specs. If you can find a good deal on either, it's a sound pocket camera. If you're after a newer body with more features, the RX100 series has later models, though I haven't covered their differences in detail here. For general advice on a first compact, see Your first camera.
