Best Cameras 2013

One of the best advanced compacts money can buy, the Sony RX100 has a very large sensor for a compact. It’s a 1-inch 20MP jobbie, the same size as Nikon’s compact system cameras. It’s also absolutely gorgeous and incredible well-made - fashioned out of black aluminium. And its wide 28-100mm focal length makes it super-versatile as an all-round snapper too. You do pay a premium for such design excellence, but the price has come down almost £100 since launch.
