A PowerShot finally learns to dance with the RX100.

The PowerShot range is only one step down from their DSLR offerings; however they are small enough to fit in your pocket but are still extremely powerful units that have a large number of features that started out in their DSLR models.

I bought this camera a few months ago and totally love it! The focus of it is AMAZING, especially for such a small and compact size. The touch screen feature is fabulous and I love having a flip-up screen and the timer setting!

I primarily use this camera for taking video. The 1080 video at 60 frames per second looks beautiful and the sensor in this camera makes the picture look good in many, many lighting situations. The flippable screen is a very nice feature if you film or take pictures of yourself.

I carry this in my pocket instead of a large SLR. Quailty, functionality, it's all there.
