Sony RX100 tested by dpreview (gets a Silver award)

Again a Sony RX100 news :)
Dpreview (Click here) The biggest camera review site on earth (and known universe) posted the full Sony RX100 test results: “Overall, it’s flexible and dependable tool that lets you take as much or as little control as you want. It’s not a perfect camera, but it’s hard to think of another that includes so much capability and yet still fits in your pocket. Not to be underestimated.”
