Sony RX10 ii

The RX10 ii is perfect for serious amateur photographers who want high-quality pics without a barrage of cryptic buttons and menu options. A mix of professional features (a high-speed 1/32,000-second shutter, slow-motion video at 960fps, and 20.2-megapixel image sensor) and casual-photographer simplicity (quick autofocus, auto ISO mode, and simple menu system) make this a well-rounded choice. One tester took the RX10 ii to Panama and came back with rich, detailed pics that made him look like a seasoned pro—without the mangled posture from heavier gear. sony.com.
