Broad zoom range from a pocket-size camera
The built-in ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T 24-200mm F2.8-4.5 zoom lens covers a broad zoom range equivalent to two standard zoom lenses (24-70mm and 70-200mm), all in a very compact size. It's configured with eight aspherical lens elements with 13 aspherical faces to achieve maximum resolution, clarity and contrast across the entire zoom range, and all the way out to the edge of the image. Four of Sony's original AA (advanced aspherical) elements help minimise spherical, coma and chromatic aberrations.
A new image sensor that delivers new levels of performance
The newly developed Exmor RS™ 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor works in tandem with the latest BIONZ X™ image-processing engine to deliver powerful levels of performance. The result is fast, Blackout-free Shooting at up to 20fps and Single Burst Shooting at up to 90fps. Reliable AF/AE tracking is possible thanks to rapid arithmetic processing at 60 times/sec. to predictively track subject motion, and the electronic viewfinder and LCD monitor also benefit, with improved image quality and smooth 60fps display during shooting.
Up to 20fps fast, Blackout-free Shooting with AF/AE tracking
Now you can rely on Blackout-free Shooting at up to 20fps, complete with AF/AE tracking, so you won't lose track of a moving subject even at telephoto range. Precise, reliable AF/AE tracking is based on high-speed arithmetic processing at up to 60 times per second during continuous shooting. (A) Blackout-free Shooting (B) Shooting with blackouts
Real-time Tracking to maintain steady focus on your subject
For the first time in the RX series, Real-time Tracking is supported. When you're tracking a fast-moving subject, the camera's motion tracker uses a sophisticated subject recognition algorithm (AI) that draws on colour, pattern (brightness), distance (depth) and face/eye information to automatically recognise and maintain focus on your subject. During continuous shooting, the camera relies on AF calculations at up to 60 times/sec. to maintain high-accuracy tracking even as the subject's position changes moment by moment. Tracking can also be initiated through touch operation, for both stills and movies.
Enhanced Real-time Eye AF for better portraits and pet photos
Real-time Eye AF detects and focuses on the eyes of your subjects, even when part of the face is hidden, the face is backlit or the subject is facing downwards.With up to 60 AF calculations per second, the RX100 VII's AF enables powerful continuous shooting, and stunning portrait shots through precise focusing on your subject's eyes – person or animal. For human subjects, activating Real-time Eye AF simply requires a half-press of the shutter button.

I was looking for a small pocket-able camera to save taking my camera bag everywhere. I also own MFT and full frame cameras. Besides portability, image quality has to be excellent. This camera does not disappoint. Focusing, exposure and image quality are excellent. The lens is very sharp and the zoom range (24-200) for it's size is simply incredible. If you want to get the best out of it, it's worth watching a few Youtube videos in order to set it to perform at it's best. If your vision is not great, you will find the viewfinder a great help. As with most screens it becomes difficult to see in very bright weather. The buttons are on the small size, as you would expect, so takes a bit of getting used to. It's a very responsive camera. Make sure you use the wrist strap and get a little case to put it in. You will need a spare battery. Highly recommended.
I'm very pleased with this camera, bought as an update to my Panasonic LX5, which I have had for many years. It was a might expensive purchase on reflection (although at the best price from Harrison Cameras), so what have I gained? Better resolution (20 mp vs. 10 mp), a superb focus system, a telephoto zoom that is so much better than cropping detail out of a wider frame and the ability to wirelessly transfer images directly to a smart device. What have I lost? Not a lot. Both had few physical controls but a lot of menu options and both are about the same size and weight. It is notable that the LX5 had better battery life though. The small battery in the Sony does not last long, especially if using the zoom lens and working with continuous autofocus. The only other thing I miss a little is the ability to a small amount of in camera editing, although this is much less of an issue now, being able to transfer images directly to a smartphone for some cropping or enhancement.
Good camera. Compact and fits in pocket. Need to buy the stick-on Sony grip (c. £11) for better holding. Battery doesn't last too long so buy a spare. Extensive set of features and menu mean you need to spend a bit of time going through the user guide and YouTube tutorials to set it up as you want. Of course, it can be used in the Auto or SCN modes out-of-the-box if you're happy with focus area being wide (i.e. whole screen). In M, S, A modes you can change the good innovative focus tracking to centre, zone etc.. rather than the default wide area (took me some time to discover how). EVF is sharp and clear but a little small. Fast continuous shooting (5, 10 or 20 fps) is good. I've only used for stills so can't comment on the extensive video capabilities. So overall I'm happy with my purchase at the price I paid - prices are a bit volatile at present and I'd baulk at over £1,000.
