What camera should I buy instead of the sony rx100 ii?

The Sony RX100 V and Sony RX100 VI are the closest matches in my catalogue. Both have a 1-inch sensor like the RX100 II, and both are newer. The V was announced in 2016 and the VI in 2018, so if you want the newest of the three, go for the VI.

If you want more image quality and room to grow, look at a mirrorless camera with an APS-C sensor and its kit zoom. My first camera guide explains why. Put most of your budget into lenses, because they matter more than the body.
