SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II CONCLUSION
Due to the SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II having such a positive response from customers all over the world, I think it was a clever move by Sony to improve the camera even further by adding extra features consumers had been talking about which would improve it even further, and with the SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II, it has done just that!With the extra additions of an upgraded sensor with better sensitivity, hot-shoe, tilt-able screen, WiFi & NFC features, this definitely makes the SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II a worthy upgrade.
That said, I don't think it completely replaces the previous model because the SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II is still a great camera and is available for a lower price, however if the extra features are something that would be of a greater use (which for me it has), then I think it would be well worth either upgrading, or buying this over the SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II.
Overall I would definitely recommend this SONY CYBER-SHOT RX100 II camera, it's just utterly brilliant!
