2. The court acknowledged that it is difficult to define the scope of defense counsel's duties concerning plea bargaining. It was unnecessary to resolve that issue here, however, where defense counsel failed to advise defendant of two plea offers, one of which would have allowed him to plead to a lesser charge and receive a lower sentence than was ultimately imposed on his open plea to the original charge. "[A]s a general rule, defense counsel has a duty to communicate formal offers from the prosecution to accept a plea on terms and conditions that may be favorable to the accused." Because counsel failed to communicate a more favorable plea offer until after it had expired, his representation was objectively unreasonable under the first prong of Strickland. The court added that to prevent frivolous or fabricated claims that more advantageous plea offers were made but not communicated to defendants, the prosecution and trial courts may adopt measures such as requiring that plea offers be in writing, that the negotiation process be documented, and that formal offers be made part of the record in order to ensure that the defendant has been adequately advised. 3. To establish prejudice under the second prong of Strickland, a defendant who claims that a plea offer lapsed or was rejected because of counsel's deficient performance must demonstrate a reasonable probability that: (1) had counsel been effective, defendant would have accepted a plea offer which would have resulted in a more favorable outcome, and (2) the plea would have been entered without the prosecution cancelling the offer or the trial court refusing to accept the plea. Where defense counsel did not inform defendant of two plea offers before they expired, one of the plea offers would have allowed defendant to plead to a misdemeanor and serve a 90-day sentence, and defendant subsequently entered an open plea to the original felony charge and received a three-year sentence, defendant made an adequate showing that he would have accepted the plea offer had he been made aware of it. The state court erred, however, by failing to require defendant to show that the prosecution would have gone through with the plea and the judge would have accepted it. Because these questions are matters of state law, the court remanded the cause to Missouri courts to determine whether: (1) either the prosecution or trial court is authorized under Missouri law to refuse to accept a defendant's attempt to accept a plea offer, and (2) there is a reasonable probability the prosecutor and judge would have adhered to the offer in this case. 87

It is bad enough the first version of this camera did not get a gold award when it clearly deserved one. But now the MkII version, which is supposedly better than the original, also gets a silver award you really have to question the ratings. Granted these are high marks but as someone who owns the first version of the camera, I can tell you it is extraordinary. Not only are the pictures fantastic, but the movies are incredible. In fact, the movies are far superior to movies on my other gear: the Nikon D7000 and the newly acquired Ricoh GR. The in camera charging is a nuisance but I bought an external charger for my spare battery so that issue is negated. I took this camera on vacation and it was just a pleasure to use with fantastic picutres.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II Review
True breakthrough products are rare in consumer electronics and perhaps even more rare in the digital camera space. The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 was one of those rare products that caught the attention of casual photographers, enthusiasts and critics alike. It successfully fitted a large 1"-type sensor into a compact camera so inconspicuous that without knowing otherwise, a casual observer would assume it to be a point-and-shoot like any other. Unassuming to the eye, it succeeded in pulling off an impressive trick - delivering excellent image quality from a truly pocketable camera.
Now Sony has introduced the RX100 II, sold as a sister model to the existing camera. A new, back-illuminated 20MP sensor (the largest BSI chip we've yet encountered), gives a claimed 40% improvement in low-light sensitivity, which Sony says will allow the RX100 II to focus faster in low light than its predecessor, as well, of course, as producing cleaner high-ISO images.
Meanwhile, the camera's enthusiast appeal is bolstered by the addition of a Multi-Interface hot shoe, allowing use of external flashguns or, significantly, accessories such as an electronic viewfinder. The rear screen also now tilts up and down, which makes the RX100 II more flexible to use and more at ease in bright light. Impressively, Sony achieved this while adding just 2mm to the camera's depth - so it retains its pocketable prowess. The RX100 II has a list price of $750 - $100 more than that of the original RX100.
Key Features:
- 1"-type Exmor-R BSI-CMOS sensor (13.2 x 8.8mm, 3:2 aspect ratio)
- 20.2 million effective pixels
- 28-100mm (equiv), f/1.8-4.9 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens
- Steady-Shot image stabilization
- ISO 160-12,800 (Down to ISO 100 and to 25,600 expanded)
- NFC-mediated Wi-Fi allowing file transfer and control from smartphones
- Rear control dial and customizable front control ring
- 10fps continuous shooting in 'Speed Priority' mode
- Tiltable 3" 1.2M-dot 'WhiteMagic' LCD screen
- 13 Picture Effects (33 with variations)
- Memory Recall feature can store up to three groups of custom settings
- 1080p60 video, (AVCHD) with MP4 option (50p in PAL regions)
- Built-in stereo microphones
- 330-shot battery life (CIPA)
The RX100 II also manages to find room to include Wi-Fi capabilities that can be set-up using near field communication (NFC) if you have a smartphone that supports it. Those of us without NFC in our mobile devices will have to set the Wi-Fi up manually. The RX100 II's video capabilities have also been expanded, with the camera now offering the ability to capture 1080p footage at 24 frames per second, in addition to the 60p and 30p the current RX100 offers (50p/25p on European models). Sony now offers a filter adapter for the RX100 II and its predecessor, a $30 accessory that makes it possible to use 49mm filters with either camera.
Following on the heels of a hit
The RX100 was well received by consumers, and when we reviewed it last year it earned a Silver Award (mainly in response to user interface concerns). It wasn't just another enthusiast compact camera, it was truly a stunning piece of engineering. Now, the pricier RX100 II promises better low light performance, faster auto focus and the option to add a viewfinder/flash/remote trigger.
With the RX100 still on the market (and selling for a more-attractive $600 in the U.S. and £549 in the U.K.) do the RX100 II's additions and improvements make it worth the extra investment? If a tilting screen and the ability to use accessories aren't deal-makers, does the image quality justify its expense? Read our full analysis.

Perhaps gold will be awarded with version III, the one with a built-in EVF, like the Nex 7 or the even the Panasonic LF1, and most importantly a better lens. That Ricoh GR has a nice lens, enjoy it.
With a better lens, a lower pixel count could possibly help this hypothetical version III.
Than it wouldn't be so small breaking a whole point of this camera. A reason why it does deserve gold is because of how tiny it is comparing to the features and IQ offered. With EVF it wouldn't be nearly as good as it is now.
Why are you comparing this camera to the GR, Nex 7, etc. They are two completely different classes of cameras. The RX100 is a truly pocketable compact. It's tiny. You can fit it into your jeans pocket. The GR, Nex cameras, Fuji X100, etc. fit in a large jacket pocket at best, and most of them have huge bulky interchangeable lenses.
Try the EVF on the Panasonic LF1, a camera I mentioned.
I would have liked to see the original RX100 in the drop-down comparison options, especially in low light, where the RX100 II is supposed to have a noticeable advantage.
I have a RX100 MK1 and I find it over exposes at Times and find Greens to be Poorly Rendered and Auto White Balance is a bit off at times.
overall it is better that my Canon Powershot s95 but I find that the Powershot s95 had more accurate and Relistic Colour compaired to the RX100.
Hey, you forgot about Carl Zeiss lens. That one resolve a lot of detail in it. Normal lens on compact digital camera won't resolve detail well. That Sony is always ahead with Sensor quality and having Carl Zeiss on resolve even better more detail than that. Canon didn't really make the cut of it unfortunately. It is a regular Canon lens, nothing special. But to keep price down of course. Compact digital camera with Carl Zeiss will cost more than regular lens itself. Carl Zeiss is the best I have ever seen. I am getting Carl Zeiss for my Sony Nex 7 and it will just blow regular Sony lens away in a single puff.
Also Sony RX100 II has a lot better less noise than Canon G16, you should check out high ISO.
Don't be fooled by the name, this isn't the greatest Zeiss lens.
That 24mm Zeiss for the Nex system is excellent though.
So just not the same animal.
Yes, there are compacts with optically extraordinary lenses, but not this one--particularly when zoomed.
No, I'm not saying this is some bad lens, just not what you're shooting on the Nex.
There's Zeiss and there's Zeiss...the RX100II Zeiss doesn't seem that impressive to me in the corners. Have a look on the Studio Scene Image Comparison. Out of all the cameras provided for comparison I couldn't find any that were less sharp than the RX100II in the corners. I'm surprised tbh as everyone seems to love this cameras sharpness. The G16 is sharper in the corners.
NEX Zeiss isn't great either. Try A-mount Zeiss before posting any opinion. And than try some of high-end M-mount Zeiss.
I have seen review of Sony 16-70mm with Carl Zeiss on and I see its very good review so far even corner is a little soft but nothing major so far and the corner is much better than my exist 18-55mm Sony kit lens. Although I rather stick to E lens compatible only since A mount converter is too awkward. The reason I bought Nex 7 is because the detail is much better than A77 overall. I hope the newer future Alpha with 24mp might see some improvement. But its a long way to go. Hopefully Sony will work hard and try make a lot of improvement. Before I was going to get Pentax but I was stopped after found out that red swatch is problem in JPG in high iso that detail is getting lost, and RAW came out fine compare to JPEG. Once again Pentax is still behind in competition and I have no way buying Pentax. Unless Pentax and Ricoh better hurry up, catch up and make a LOT of improvement. There are lots of Pentax fan waiting for you to improve, so please do so. Nathan.
The 24mm Zeiss for the Nex system has a plenty good reputation, you're thinking of the Touit's which are different and newer.
Right the A mount lenses are better, who cares?
Try good Leica M lenses if you want to better Zeiss.
Once again, I am still waiting for SLR Gear to review that 16-70mm lens officially. The other review I saw was by some general photography showing their side of their story, review and their opinion and some sample images including edge, corner and centre of images. But I rather wait till SLR Gear comes up with more detail with graphs to show. DxO Mark may be very slow to review so its taking time. SLR Gear will come quickly though.
Btw, my dad's camera is Sony RX1 and has Carl Zeiss lens, no issue problem so far. Sharp on edge and corner and centre all up. This review here I saw has a bad luck with bad copy of lens where DPReview borrows it from Sony. Sorry Dpreview you had a bad copy. My dad's copy is perfectly fine. His camera kills all over my camera.
To Nathlo:
Zeiss lens for nex are surely better vs regular Sony lens with one exception:50mm f/1.8 ...I doubt zeiss can make such an excellent quality in similar price
If anyone want to experience and enjoy the real quality of Zeiss lenses should try the Zeiss prime lenses in Canon and Nikon mounts or those made for the Leica M mount.
Zeiss do not make zoom lenses with auto-focus on their own. These lenses are only made under the Sony brand under license. Now, Fuji is trying to do the same. Somehow, the quality is not the same.
Try the Zeiss prime lenses and you will know the difference. The built quality and price are different too.
Yeah but remember, not all lens are equal, like 100 of same lens will have slight marginal error in manufacturer, that is what to expect to look out for. Quality control is hard there. They have to make hundreds of it same day they have to have quality control in rapid speed to keep it up to speed. That review of RX1 had a marginal error in that lens that had soft corner, my dad's RX1 had no problem with corners so far. If your lens has problem that is more than marginal error, it probably for best send it back for refund or replace for another lens, its the store problem to send it back to factory under warranty and get lens replacement return to store.. But again thats what you get for what you pay for, for the quality of lens anyway. I really need zoom. I don't want inconvenience lens that constantly swapping exposing Sony sensor to dust, that Nex part.
Hey I went to another website who done review on that same camera, it seems that sharpness is a slight issue problem in new RX100II apparently and I did compare to Nikon A, Nikon A comes out sharper than RX100II. Both same 1" size sensor. While here RX100II looks sharper than other website review.
Perhaps, I would like to see sample of JPG without any noise reduction, no sharpening applies to it, and nothing applies to RAW image for comparison that would be a lot more helpful to compare. It got me thinking maybe another website who review did not have sharpening on while here did have it on?
The lack of an external charger is annoying but if you can afford $750 for a camera you can afford to go to ebay and get a charger and a few spare batteries for next to nothing. That's what i did with my RX100.
Well, the logic is weird and only applies to people who paid the 750$ out of their pocket change money.
If you barely scratched together the 750$ (like many enthusiast people who do not earn money through photography would), there's nothing left.
A charger would run you like $10... I agree it's a bit offensive to omit it at this price point, BUT I'd rather they do that than not feature the ability to charge in-camera... It may not seem useful for some but it's a great addition for many as it allows you to charge off regular car chargers and USB battery packs.
Oh, good lord.
Just use a phone charger. No need to buy anything extra. The little cube chargers that come with iPhones and Android phones and whatnot can all charge the RX100M2. You just need a micro-USB cable.
i own this camera since 4weeks,
before, i had the canon s90 and s100..... the IQ ist superbe!
the pocketability is perfect, at the last photo-job i did the most pictures with the rx100 and not with the canon 7d or 5dmk2..... the lens at 1,8 is very sharp, and in low light, the rx100 rocks.....
BUT: i am very unhappy with the playmemory app, because it is not possible to change programs, setting the focus-point, choosing iso and so on..... i do urgently hope, that sony will do a much more professional app for remote-controling the rx100II, maybe they will do, because of the new wifi-sensor-lens-camera for smartphones which has the same sensor and lense like the rx100II .....
and: i am not shure, if ACR (latest version) renders the raw-files properly, in higlight or shadows, the values behave a little bit strange, compared to other raw files for example eos 7d or 5dmk2.....
Too bad the lens sucks in the corners. Otherwise this would be a great, not just good, camera.
in my case, raw files and ACR lenscorrection are doing a perfect job....
I couldn't believe it when I saw the lens poor corner performance. I'm disappointed to see that TBH, but I guess everything's built to a price.
I also own the RX100 and have been very pleased with the pictures. The number of pixels and general RAW quality allows for easy cropping and just very good pictures. If I wished for anything it would be a slightly lighter weight body but there may be too many compromises to lighten it any more.
A valiant attempt by Sony to match the G1X but spoilt as usual in true Sony compact fashion by too many pixels when the light dims. The razor sharp image of the Queen's head if you select the G1X on the noise page, as the Sony descends into mush when you raise the ISO is pretty compelling. Especially as the ISO performance of the enormous sensor in the RX100 is supposed to offset the slow fully zoomed lens.
It's one of the most efficient sensors out there, regardless of the amount of pixels.
The G1X sensor is well over 2 times larger still, so you'd expect it to be over a stop cleaner... if the sensor were to be as efficient, which it is not. Add the faster lens of the RX100 II and you have a tool that should at least be similarly capable in low light within its range of FL's.
I won't judge detail from noise page, as G1X looks sharper than full-frame D4 -- so does D4 have too many pixels too?
We don't have G1X images with the new studio scene. It was already known that RX100 images in the old studio scene are not representative of real world usage, as the old studio scene was too small, requiring the shots to be taken with very close distance. Not all lenses (especially not RX100 lens) are optimized for close focusing performance.
Let DPR shoot the new studio scene with G1X and I bet RX100 will outresolve it, at base ISO.
best in class... silver.... 79%.... interesting....
I own the RX100, hands down an amazing camera pocketableness asside. My only quibble about using it for my everyday 'keepers' was no tilting display (for waist level shooting) and no EVF. Both of these objections have (sort of) been handled with the MK2. I do wish the EVF was part of the body, but I am still amazed at how they managed to fit in what they did. Can't have it all.
Seriously though, this camera should be graded for what it is intended for and for its target audience. To complain that it has too many options/filtering and no in-camera raw conversion is just a joke.
The review complaining about the tilting screen's limited use, makes no sense. It's *quite* useful and if one doesn't think so, their shooting skill is limited. There are many shots you simply cannot physically get because you can't see the screen from a 90 deg. angle! Sony likely opted for simple tilt (no swivel) because it has almost no impact on size - the main advantage of this camera.
Anyway I don't really like this site, alas. Such a long-winded review (as usual) that leaves out some things, repeats others like twelve times and then rounds it out by saying really stupid things too.
If you have a camera and like it what is the importance of a review? The RX100 is a strange camera in that its users just seem to need so much acceptance from other people and to prove their camera choice is superior to others. There is no camera user base so given to gushing hyperbole on other brand user forums about their cameras as RX100 users.
I suppose the RX100 is the camera of choice for the user who views photography as some sort of competitive sport in equipment buying prowess.
DPR, I know your staff is busy but if the samples don't include basic scenes from a variety of genres, what good is the rest of the review? For natural landscapes, you need to find a location that provides a grand vista. If the lens has a WA equivalent, and the location is high enough, the scene will produce infinity in every corner of the image creating a flat wall effect. Scenes like this tell us a lot about the lens used (in the case of compacts - should be ultra important) as well as the IQ of the camera. It should be a standard for samples like your studio test thingie is. I have a location in my home town that produces an inifinity landscape/cityscape all in one fell swoop. I have posted it many times in the Canon & Nikon forums for a variety of camera and lens comparisons.
Link to a sample of my special location:
You are in Seattle so finding a place that is even better than the one I have should be a breeze.
Fujifilm X-M1 seems sooo much better in all comparaison shots with the RX100 II (RAW, JPEG, Low-light, Day-light, all ASA settings)...
So either I made a mistake, or it is truely so and not "tolerable" that this is not pointed out allready directly in the review.
Because I beleve the Fujifilm X series are not even full frame, and have (excellent) interchangable lenses...
Where am I wrong ?
The X-M1 has a sensor that is over 3 times larger and even without a lens the Fuji is larger and heavier and by no means a pants pocket sized camera.
In other words, you're comparing completely different cameras. If you were to equip the Fuji with a lens covering a similar range, you'd also be shooting up to 2 stops higher ISO's in low light due to the slower lens at the wider and medium FL's.
You are wrong because you are comparing apples vs oranges. RX100 II is a pocket camera with smaller 1" sensor and built in zoom lens. Try fitting X-M1 in pocket with the kit (zoom) lens attached to the camera.
Second, images of X-M1 were taken with the $600 35mm F1.4 lens. That (camera + lens) is a $1500 combo, twice the cost of RX100 II
Third, with the kit lens that comes with X-M1, I won't be surprised that RX100 takes better mages even in low light, at wide angle. RX100 lens at wide angle is F1.8, more than 1 stop faster than X-M1's kit lens that is F3.5 That would mean you would need something like ISO 4000 on X-M1 when ISO 1600 would work on RX100
Thank You ! That all indeed explains verry well I was mistaken - ( I thought the RX100II was full frame) !
So what will be the best choice for underwater shooting?
RX100 or RX100 M2 and why
It won't make much of a difference. All of the RX100M2's improvements (hotshoe, tilting screen, etc.) are negated underwater. The BSI sensor on the M2 might make it slightly better than the M1, but that's the only difference.
So not sure that the price difference will be a good point for RX100M2 vs RX100 !!!
Depends on the housing you choose. The Nauticom housing connects with the hotshoe on the M2 so that (when using strobes) you might not require to slave off the internal flash and improve re-cycle time and improve battery life - but I have yet to read of anyone using this yet. This is a very pricey housing though, rarely used by
Also it should be noted that the adhesive 'handle' option to improve the 100 series ergonomics, when mounted, precludes fitting a camera into any underwater housing - or so it has been reported to me thus far.
Hello DPreview,
can you please make your sample gallery Retina display-aware? The pictures in the Flash-powered slideshow are all lowres (¼ the resolution of my screen).
From the introduction "The RX100 II has a list price of $750 - $100 more than that of the original RX100"
From the review "Sony promised better low light performance, and it has indeed been delivered. Is it $150 better?"
That, DPR, is a cheap shot and well below the belt. You of all people should know not to compare introduction prices with current market prices. You can make any camera look good or bad by comparing it to cherry-picked current prices of any other model.
That is even before considering the fact that the "$150" does not only go towards better low light quality, which the reviewer also conveniently ignores there.
This sounds like the reviewer was looking for something to justify the pre-concluded Silver Award. Very unprofessional.
They were comparing RX100 original list price (650$) to RX100 II original list price (750$), not street prices.
tokugawa, in the conclusion they mention $150 number. That was comparing street prices of old camera vs retail prices of a new camera.
From a mathematical perspective, 150 or 100 doesnt really make that much of a difference, it's the same order of magnitude. Debating about that is really nitpicking.
What does it mean they shouldn't compare current street prices with introductory prices?
If I want to buy a camera RIGHT NOW, the difference is $150.
It's been $150 for a while now and it'll remain $150 for a lot longer.
Your complaint is absolutely silly.
Marvol has a valid point. Previously simon joinson himself commented that comparing MSRP of new camera to street prices of old camera would make all new cameras look overpriced.
I prefer phone-going QX model over those hotshue + nonshue models... way more practical less space. Its screen will improve in your next cell phone for free ;)
Now we just need to wait for the marginally-upgraded (but US$50 more expensive compared to its predecessor) latest Canon G camera to pick up their customary Gold award, based on, well, the fact that the G12 got a Gold, and the G15 got a Gold...
At least DPR is consistent.
I've had it for over a week now and am blown away by its usability, compactness and build quality. I wanted a true compact that would really be a pocketable carry everywhere solution without much compromise on features and IQ – since I found myself not even carrying my relatively diminutive mirrorless – and it's absolutely been that. I've left the house without it exactly once since I've had it.
The only ergonomic touches that would have been nice is a clicked aperture ring and I prefer a rear thumb dial on the top right, rather than a scroll wheel. Also, quicker aperture change would be nice (though that might be something I can increase in the menu, haven't checked).
All the minor tweaks added to its value to me over the RX100. Foremost among these is the WiFi feature, and while iPhone integration is not as seamless as we've come to expect these days, it works pretty damn well, considering it's a relatively new feature, and the iPhone doesn't have NFC.
I don't know why anybody would buy another compact, given the substantially smaller sensors. Still, I'm sure I'll continue to see idiots with the G series cameras and S1xx in all auto telling me "it takes great pictures."
Sensor is huge compared to same-sized competition. Lens is fast and tack sharp. This is heads and shoulders above the competition, IMHO, and it's the camera I've waited a long time for. Kudos to Sony for innovating in a crowded but uninspired field.
Right, I was a longtime Canon G-series user (it started with the G2). The G1X was my last. While it takes great pictures, the autofocus s*** big time.
Really liked the RX100, now happily using the RX100 II for most of my pictures.
nathanleebush: People will still buy other compacts for one very simple reason: $$$
$750 is EXPENSIVE. Unless you are actually shelling it out yourself, I don't think you realize how much the high price makes it a lot easier to justify the slightly less capable but much less expensive S110.
I preordered one, and I don't regret it, but I was on the fence about the original RX100 for a long time for precisely this reason. I'm glad I waited, though. :)
The RX100 II is a camera designed for use by people who understand photography, in a category often referred to as 'high end', 'enthusiast' or 'premium' for example.
Why is it referred to in the review and in some comments below as a 'point and shoot' camera?
Surely 'point and shoot' refers to shooting in Programmed or Automatic modes, those modes being available on Compact System Cameras and DSLRs too.
As a compact, It IS nearly perfect. Silver award is a bit like missing the point imo.
The reviewer argues that it has an "unengaging control wheel" and wants a camera that doesn't feel like a compact camera?
Hello, it IS a compact camera and is the best in it's class. Still it's given just a silver award for the above reason?
What a joke of a review conclusion...
Owner of the RX100M2 here.
I have to concur with the reviewer. The clickless control wheel feels very.... ehh... loose. You have to rely on a visual aid on the LCD to know what you're setting it to. A clicking control wheel like the S100, or even the RX100M2's own rear control dial, is far superior and makes a huge difference in ergonomics, because I can adjust zoom, aperture, shutter, or exposure control by touch instead of looking down at the screen all the time.
I give it gold (then again I compare it with the LX-7 XZ-2 MX-1).
and Overabundance of filter and low-light shooting modes? Who cares? Don't use them.
These are exactly the reasons i wont be buying the RX100.
Ergonomics are extremely important if you want to use the camera for any length of time.
Sensor tech and size is just not enough for me to part with cash and I'm sticking with G11 until the right model for me comes along.
A Canon G series with flip screen, X20 lens assembly, sony sensor, RAW. Thats how a compact should be made.
…and the superslow G1X autofocus.
Sorry, I *used* both cameras for quite some time and the Sony has clearly the better shooting experience. Don't compare charts, *use* cameras.
who mentioned G1x? I wouldnt have spent money on a G1x lol!
Use cameras? I've used enough cameras to know that the Sony ergos wont be good for me.
DPreview boys know what they are talking about.
You should link to your work if you want to be taken seriously Garp, otherwise i might assume you are just a gadget freak :)
"I've used enough cameras to know that the Sony ergos wont be good for me" - oh boy, if something like brand-racism would exist - you'd be a prime example of that.
brand racism? I've owned canon, fuji, ricoh, panasonic, sony compacts, that qualifies me to make the statement of opinion. I like dials and direct function buttons to make a device useable. Obviously you are already used to menu driven interface so you are good with it. You are Sony fanboy with no images to show, another complete gadget freak!
Dpreview on Sony reflex like Alpha700, no lcd on top, was a cons...
Dpreview on Alpha 77, lcd on top too, was a cons TOO and useless, because there is a resr too.
For Sony, Dpreview invent cons that on others brands are plus or simply not cons.
wow if that's the best you can do to prove an institutional anti-Sony bias.... two reviews 4 years apart of two wildly different cameras, both of which got high scores and (in the case of the 700) our highest award. Oh and you're simply wrong about the A77 not having a top LCD being listed as a con. So maybe 'So false' would be a better reply.
Disappointed at the lack of mention of the step zoom in the review. (Or maybe I just missed it.)
The step zoom makes the clickless function ring a LOT more forgivable and engaging, because then you're just nudging it one way or the other. I just wish the step zoom function could be assigned to the zoom toggle, so that the function ring can be assigned to something else.
Good review, but did you test the image stabilization for still shots?
I have an RX100, and the IS is only about 1 stop, which is by far the worst I've seen in high end compacts. It appears that Sony did not improve this. If they did, I'd like to know.
If they didn't improve IS, this would absolutely be at the top of the list under "What We Didn't Like." And this is the reason I would only recommend these cameras to extremely steady shooters who don't shoot much in low light.
This is a SERIOUS drawback, which often means not getting the shot that most other serious compacts would get.
Why isn't this addressed in your reviews?
This camera deserve Gold Award status. Its one of a kind and best pocket camera in the world, isn't that enough??
And if you need a viewfinder (if?) that'll be another $450 Sir.
"Never give a sucker an even break"
W.C. Fields
Yes, indeed. That will be another $450.
Sony never expect customers at this level to buy a EVF anyway. So, if you want one that will be the price. Oh yes, make sure you order it in advance. They may not have stock on the shelf.
Well, that's Sony.
If you want, you CAN have an evf, and one of the best evf, same of A99.
Competitors NO evf at all or BAD evf.
Remember also the fact that it's an accessory EVF - you can reuse it with pretty much every other Sony camera you will buy in future.
You're able to guarantee that!?
And even if it's true, in a couple of years you'll be turning up your nose at the abysmal resolution. Yes, today it's a great viewfinder but tomorrow marketing bit-rot will have turned it into a POS.
"Competitors NO evf at all or BAD evf."
Well, for XZ-2 Oly provides average VF-3 for as low as $99, very good VF-2 for $200 or so and an excellent, as good as this Sony or better VF-4 for $279. Or even 35mm-eq OVF for just $83.
again... sony being second place in their own category... as a 5n user its been a long time since I can shoot 10 fps of high quality raws and use a tilt touchscreen to focus... but I still haven't got used to rotate the kit lens the other way to zoom in/out. or forgive for HDR mode that can't be delayed or remotely triggered... sony are always two steps ahead with their technology. if they were just less original with human interface, they could have been the ultimate choice in many categories.
Jan. 2012 DPR review of Nikon 1 J1:
"[...]we can't help feeling that with the J1 and V1 Nikon has missed an opportunity to offer a product that fulfills that other great un-met point-and-shoot need: a small automatic camera that works well in a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright exterior to dim interior.
[...] Also, although we try not to be influenced by a retail price when writing our reviews, it's impossible to ignore the fact that at street prices of around $600 and $800, respectively (with 10-30mm lens kit), the J1 and V1 are entry-level mirrorless cameras that cost significantly more than several higher-end alternatives. Got a 67% overall score.
Informative, perhaps. But how can one understand the above, more so when the 1 System (same sensor size, first to use it) has an extra advantage: interchangeable lenses? Nothing against Sony, which is a great product. I'd just like to understand the meaning of 'unbiased'.
What a weird comment. So what you are basically saying is that since RX100 with 1" sensor received 79 score, Nikon 1 with 1" sensor should receive similar score too. If we follow that logic then every APSC camera ever made must have the same score, every FF camera must have the same score as all other FF cameras made in history, and all cellphones must have the same score as all other cellphones made in history as long as the sensor is same size.
Sony is Sony. They make very good point and shoot cameras with rather unfriendly user interface. That culture still seem to continue.
If you are looking for a p&s with good image quality, this is it. But they will overload the camera with too many "features" you may never use, just to be impressive.
Handling is a problem too for many. The soap-like design with fiddly controls can put many off.
The lack of a separate charger for such an expensive camera is a big disappointment to me.
Ultimately, Sony is Sony again. The price is way above for what it is. If one think it is still worth it, it is a good camera to have. At least it is still cheaper than a Leica. But Sony is not Leica. One can get the Lumix GF6 for much less and it will take give the owner much more satisfaction.
However, if one need a really pocketable which is not much bigger than the Canon S120, then this is it. For me, I would rather carry the Canon S120 for half the price.
For more serious shooting, use a 5D Mk2.
Well, the GF6 would never fit in a pants pocket even with a prime pancake, and in-body charging is hardly peculiar to Sony... Panasonic and several others have gone down the same road.
Frankly I think that's a silly complaint, you always have the option of buying a separate charger but in-camera charging adds versatility as it makes it easier to charge in the car or on the go with USB battery packs!
The value proposition is a more subjective matter, tho I think ya have a point... But until Sony has a direct competitor they can charge whatever for it. I split the difference and got an LF1 for <$500. :P
Is this an extension of the Final Word? Reads that way.
I'd also say that it's condescending to tell others what they will and won't use in the features of the camera. There are interesting modes and presets in this camera that make shooting with a compact fun. Sony isn't Fuji -- they're not trying to recreate an x-20.
I used my RX100 every bit as much as my ILC mirrorless system during a 2-week vacation to Canada and I loved the output from that little gem. Whenever I leave the house it goes with. Best compact ever.
You're spot on regarding 'features'. If Sony (and other manufacturers) dumped most of the useless bloat, there would be no need for poorly designed menu systems and an excessive number of controls.
Image quality is excellent - other than the bloat, a very desirable camera.
You can use the RX 100 II for a week without charging (tried this on my last holiday). No way you can empty the battery on a single day. Just charge it while you sleep. The complaint about the charger is silly. I *like* that I don't need an extra charger in my backpack but can charge everything using USB.
And good look with putting the GF6 in your jeans pocket. Why don't you compare the RX 100 II to an EOS 1100D? I think they are about the same price level.
Wow... if RX got an unfriendly user interface than you should try NEXes.
Sorry, but RX100 got one of the most user-friendly interfaces on a market. Just if you got into a habits of using one system - its very hard to switch into something new.
Not so Garp, I dive with cameras using the same batteries and I go through 2 batteries a day, especially if it gets cold. and you can not charge a battery during a dive 'interval'. Also using the cheap third party batteries and chargers can be hit and miss - if I am charging a $75 battery (with taxes) I like to know that I am using a charger that the battery maker approves of.
I couldn't believe what I was reading in the 'Final Word' of the review about the 'shooting experience'. I agree with the criticisms about the Control Ring, but then to compare the camera to others that aren't anything like pocketable just shows me that DPR don't 'get' the RX100M2 . It was the same with the RX100 review.
Maybe just bad luck. No dust in our RX100 and it was a preorder and has been used often.
NOTE: this was in reply to the "dust in optics" by SETI.
Returned my RX100 due to dust in optics. 2 weeks was enough to pump 3 dust particles and it was just summer street photo walking. Will not risk again
That´s almost inevitable with compacts. I hed issues with my S100s´ lens (got stuck open), so sent it to the service and sold right away.
I know this could happen to interchangealbe lenses too, but those can be changed (unlike lens on a compact).
That S100 thing is fault that Canon is aware of and repairs free of charge even when you're out of warranty. Once fixed, it should be not a problem anymore.
Note: we purchased the RX100 when it first came out (preorder! rare for me) and no dust yet with lots of use. Maybe just luck but dust got in our older S90.
Fuji X100 got similar issue (actually - even worse considering the amount of reports people made).
Awards, awards, awards....
Why do people care?
A site which gives 95% of all reviewed cameras (above the travel zoom category) an award just gives them away, rendering them meaningless.
An award should be by definition something for rare, top of the class products. What DSLR was the last not to get an award here?
well, largely DPR only test cameras worth testing, and not the mass of useless compacts for example.
I also think we're in a very rich era of camera development and the pace is such that each new camera generally does bring something to the table.. (and some more than others.. :-)
No, I don't see it that way. Even at a time when they were still reviewing most available DSLRs they all got awards.
The UI is fiddly and various shooting restrictions are annoying, but my primary user complaint is how super tiny the thing is. Did it really need to be this small? Could've made it a bit wider and incorporated a proper control wheel. The X20 (for less money) blows this away in terms of ergonomics and style. The AG-R1 grip is mandatory, so is a leather case.
In the RX100M2's defense, it does take unbelievable images. I'd say this is more than a full stop above where Micro 4/3 was in the 12MP days, easily. I'd bet the 1" 20.1MP gives the new 16MP models a real challenge, too.
I find the WiFi almost useless. Sure, you can send images to your phone with no problem, but the images get resampled down. Sending to PC involves dealing with firewall and UDP issues, and while I was able to connect, the transfer itself is slow, and there's no automation ala smartphones sending to DB. To do that, you might as well load it off SD or USB cable.
Well, generally when you're sending to a smartphone it's for immediate sharing so it's likely it'd get downsampled anyway... Although I agree, if they're going thru the trouble of building in Wifi/NFC and developing the app they might as well hist give people the option.
I don't know if the review's comment about NFC pairing been smoother than other's implementation was a dig at Panasonic's effort (who else is doing NFC?); I admit the latter is occasionally fiddly and the difference in pairing during capture and pairing for instant transfer during playback is initially confusing, as is remembering to open the app first...
At least Panasonic gives you the option to do full res transfers tho, not to mention a lot more control while in remote control. Now if they'd only put out an uber LX7 replacement with Wifi and a 1" sensor...
I thought PlayMemories app has the option to download original full-size images. At least with QX100/QX10 PlayMemories app has that option
Yep, make it somewhat bigger and put a 24-120 equiv. lens on it, and I am all eyes.
in earlier versions of playmemories, it only sent a 2 megapixel image.
That may have changed in the recent few updates, but that's how it was when i had a NEX-5R.
Why are people complaining that the swivel display makes it chunkier? Is 2mm really the straw that breaks the camel's back? It's thick for a pocket cam, but the new display didn't change that significantly... Could it be thinner without it? Maybe, but then there'd be people asking for a touchscreen instead (pretty sure it was mentioned once already here) which also contributes to thicknesses.
It can't be all things to all people... Sony oughta consider replacing both models next year tho. RX150: as slim as possible and still $600 (price ain't coming down until it's got some competition sensor-wise at the same size), RX200: enthusiast focused model with hotshoe, swivel display, and maybe even a built in EVF, maybe a bit larger, $700-800.
Then they can please everybody and they're poised to scale the price of the low end model if any serious competitors show up without sacrificing any on the high end model. I'd buy a slightly slimmer low end model in a heartbeat.
Did they fix the annoying lag when first zooming in during playback mode btw? Bugged the hell out of me when I tried the original, and zooming during playback was generally fine, it was just that one delay when you first zoomed in... Much more annoying than the divide between stills and video, that's somewhat subjective (tho having the option to have it either way would be best).
I don't undrstand complains about clickless ring. For me it is perfect, when I shoot videos, change setting, or defocus insensibly...
I've bought mkI just after it appeared in the market, and I have to say, all those "Cons" in the review are just made up sundries. These "cons" are not of those, that could annoy you in everyday use.
I am delighted I bought this little pocket rocket. I am 73 and finding heavy gear too much to carry walking around. Just went to Romania for a week with a canon 600D, sony nex6 and this little camera and ended up using the rx100ii most of the time as I never print more than 13x19 and take raw. The only thing I hate is the memory recall as twice in the dark I pressed it by mistake and found later I had taken jpeg and not raw. Not sure what I did but had to reset the camera. well done sony. Look forward to FF in October. The LCD is so good I don't need a viewfinder.
Thinking about it more, this camera is so innovative, so peerless, so amazing for its size, so without competition, pushes the envelop SO MUCH, if this is not a GOLD, what is???
Usabilty/price. But if it works for you, who cares, then it's gold for you which is great. Go buy one and create some photographs.
:) i bought one the first week it came out. I also bought the RX100 the first week it came out. yes the price is punchy. but it is punchy for a reason. no competition. still. a full year on. nobody is even getting close.
i think the price is justifiable. yes, it costs as much as a mid range, APS-C DSLR. but it takes just as good pictures. So i don't see why people are complaining.
BTW, I'm not a Sony sales rep. my full frame camera is a Canon, and I love Nikons, too. (Had my D600 not spit oil all over its sensor, I would be on Nikon.) But whenever i touch a Sony camera, it stuns me how much better the functionality is. they are years ahead of Canikon in terms of giving the customer what the customer wants.
This should be a GOLD. Really.
I owned the RX100. I didn't last a year. So I had to buy the RX100II. It's amazing.
I HATE the tilting screen (and the hot shoe, although less so.) It makes the camera bulkier, and its completely useless. This camera should fit into my pocket. The RX100 barley fit in there. The MkII is worse.
Re some of the negatives listed in the above review: the tracking AF is a lot more reliable than on my full frame Canon (Canon's AI servo really blows.) To be fair, given the smaller sensor / much thicker focus plane, it is easier to get it right here than on full frame.
Re the shooting experience, I love it. I put everything I need on the Fn Button. Works really well. Sure, if you are coming from Canikon, it'll be different. But I find it better than Canon's.
The functionality of this thing blows my mind. I wish my Canon 6D could do this much.
What's badly needed is a touch screen that doesn't tilt, and the MkIII will be a real winner.
The flip screen may be useless for you (and the camera does have some useless elements, for me) but it is as functional as any similar display you see on other cameras without it being full swivel; with swivel mount likely adding even more bulk.
It's funny, the UI functionality part of this is what disappoints me the most. The IQ is astonishing for the size (if not price).
It's a shame that manufacfurers keep thinking people don't need viewfinders anymore. It may be the case, of course, that people really don't need viewfinders anymore. I sincerely hope, though, that many people will buy Panasonic's LF1, the only enthusiast-small-compact camera with built-in viewfinder at this point of time, which, by the way, also has at least a minimum of telephoto capability (200 mm eq.). Why doesn't the LF1 get reviewed, by the way? I think it's the most interesting compact camera on the market today (alongside its Leica branded sibling).
(As for the "award", I couldn't care less, but on the other hand I wonder why cameras without viewfinders get rewards at all ;-)
I imagine the P&S market in general doesn't much care about viewfinders since they were weaned off them ages ago, and the newer generations (born into modern smartphone use) were never even exposed to them. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum, enthusiasts' opinion of EVFs vs optical viewfinders are still pretty divided... And it probably wasn't very cost effective to slap even a low res EVF unto a pocketable camera until a few years ago.
I actually bought myself an LF1 so I guess that much might make ya happy, tho the EVF wasn't amongst the top three reasons why I got it. Zoom range/aperture, size, and Wifi/NFC implementation would probably top the list for me... And the price was just about what I was willing to pay for a pocket camera (if I could get an RX100 II for $600 I'd probably choose that, but at $750 it's a bit much).
I've used the EVF on the LF1 a bit and I can appreciate it's handy to have (it made it easier to take stable shots while zoomed in on a concert), but I'm also seriously thinking of now getting a M43 model sans an EVF, so what do I know... :P
Because not everyone needs or wants a viewfinder on a tiny pocket camera.
I agree. I'm waiting for an improved version of something like the LF1 with a 1mb viewfinder. I don't mind if the camera is a bit bigger. The LF1 viewfinder was a little bit too low res for me as I've got used to the Oly VF-2 with my Olympus XZ-1
@everyone "crying" for the Silver award choice - if you really think all it takes for a camera as a photographer's tool to get a Gold award is its great sensor disregarding usability as a photographer's tool you probably don't take that many photographs.
Don't bother reading reviews. Read paper specs and order through Amazon/Gearshop accordingly.
This review is very good but it can be summed up by the following:
Next time Usain Bolt wins the 100m he should be given a silver medal.
The Olympus XZ10, with a smaller sensor, has an optically much better lens, and that lens remains faster through out the zoom range.
The Olympus can also be used through ISO 2000, while it looks like this Sony tops out at about ISO3200.
Unless you're counting video quality, not an Olympus strength, or an available EVF, the Olympus beats this Sony--and the Olympus is a lot less expensive, more pocketable too.
So yeah there are problems with this camera, that other small still cameras best.
I'm less familiar with it than the Olympus, but I suggest you look into the Fuji X20 too.
RX100 in imaging-resources studio shots easily out resolved XZ10. If DPR shoots the new scene with XZ10, you will see RX100 20 MP would do the same here.
The old studio scene was not credible as it was too small. That meant the studio scene was only reflecting close focusing performance of a lens, not real world performance.
So no you're wrong. RX100's 20 MP sensor and lens combo is better than XZ10.
Drop the more pixels = better camera thing, that only matters if you're going to do lots of cropping.
The Olympus has an optically better lens, and that lens is faster thru the zoom.
Yes the Sony is better at higher ISOs, but its lens limits what it can do.
You see I have real world shots from the Olympus, I'm not using the studio scene.
And don't mistake, I think the Sony is a plenty good camera, with a very good sensor, it's the lens that's that needs be better.
RX100 resolves more detail, has better dynamic range, lower noise, and focuses faster.
No contest here.
The video samples are, as usual for this site, nearly useless. I've told dpreview before about how we need more useful videos that show AF/AE performance, etc. etc. But you're not interested in improving things I guess.
Oh I see, that's why it shoots 1080p60 video w/stereo audio and manual control then? Give the camera whatever name you wish - it's irrelevant. I assume this site basically ignores video because they don't really "like" video and are into still photography more. Whatever. That's just incredibly stupid if so.
Can someone help me out please. I have noticed, from this test scene (even the one before) that the D7100 has yellow 'patches' or 'blotches' in its images starting at ISO3200. Seems quite bad. I have noticed this is other Nikons too.
And at this ISO the Sony has cleaner images. However this can't be, right? The Nikon is supposedly one of the best apsc and the sony has smaller sensor by far, not to mention its only a compact.
Is this something to do with noise reduction approach? Appreciate if anyone could, errr, shed some light.
Nikon has this broken JPEG engine for years now. These mucus-like splotches look especially "nice" on the faces in low-light portraits.

I decided to upgrade from my basic tray-underneath table wetsaw after falling into an unplanned shower re-tile project. My old saw was a real pain. The fence was hard to keep aligned, working with tile over 6 inches wide was hard, and I always got soaked. I looked at a number of sliding tray saws at the big box stores. Decided on this one based on price and how it looked in HF store. I have no regrets. Cuts were simple to keep straight on 12 inch marble. I had concerns at first, but then determined that the tile were a little off square and saw was dead on. Minimal water throw allowed me to set the saw up in the bathroom. A little dust, but to be expected. I did not need to make diagonal or bevel cuts for this job, but it appears these would be easy to handle. This is a quality wet saw.

1. THE MOTOR IS NOT SEALED. It should be. The cooling air and water mist enter the rear of the motor and exhaust into the guard. There are several 1. " air holes into the guard. This lets more water into the motor. In storage the motor will rust and not start. To dry out the motor take the discarge hose off the pump and put it in a bucket of water so it will not run dry. Then run the motor for 1 or 2 minuets to dry out the motor for storage. {no water flowing to the guard} 2. THE WATER DOSE NOT HIT THE BLADE. Even thou it enters the top of the guard - Resulting in dry cutting and dust and short blade life. The water goes everyware except on the blade. This is because the cooling air from the motor exhaust into the guard. This air forces the water away from the blade and to the outside of the guard. 3. MODIFICATION REQUIRED: Get some 1/4" hose and 1. 1/4" "T" or "Y" fitting and 2. 90 degree 1/4" elbows. [auto parts store] Remove the hose from the top of the guard and insert the "Y" or T fitting. Y works best. Tape it to the handle. Run 1/4" hose down the outside of the guard - on each side and insert 90 elbow about 2." below bottom of guard [out of the air flow ]. Duct tape the hose to the guard. Turn the elbows in to get the water close to the blade. This is the way most concrete saws work - water on both sides of the blade. When you get it good drill holes in the guard for screws and secure hoses with 1/4" hose clamps. 4. NO ADJUSTABLE FENCE: It needs one. [like a table saw fence. What they call "fence" is just a fixed backstop with a ruller on top. All it dose is hold the tile square to the blade. You have to mark every tile and aline the blade to your mark. A slow process. 5. Loud and slow: On 5/16" thick porcelin tile it is load and slow. About 1.0 minuets for a 12." cut. Porcelin tiles are the hardest out there. You cannot score them and snap them. 6. PUMP LIFE: The pump will not last long pumping abrasive slurry. Put the pump in a pail of clean water. A 2 to 3 gallon kitchen pail works best. a 5 gallon it too tall. The pump will last 4 times longer. 7. SET IT UP OUTSIDE. Water slurry every where. Have a garden hose and extra bucket to wash the cut tiles clean. Use to hose to fill the pump bucket and clean the saw table now and then. The groves for the 2 back stops get pluged with slurry and the stops will not move. 8. SAW NOT SQUARE TO BACK STOP. This is adjustable. Losen up 4 bolts on one end of the bridge and tap it over a little. Mine came with the bolts already loose. Takes a 13 mm socket. 9. CHIPPS OUT AT END OF CUT. You must go very slow at the end of the cut to minimize this chipping out at the end of the cut. 10. ON THE POSITIVE SIDE. The bridge type saw is the best. You can see well to line up the mark on the tile with the blade. The linear bearings for saw movement are up high, out of the abrasive slurry and stay clean for smppth easy sliding of the saw into the fixed tile. It's worth $200. I bought a more expensive blade to cut the my extra hard porcelin tiles. The cut is very smooth. No chipping along the edges - just at the end of the cut if you cut too fast. I did a front hallway with 78 - 12" x 12" porcelin tiles and it came out great - after one day of modification to the saw.

Great saw with proper set-up
By uawelder
from NW IL
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Chicago Electric Power Tools 1.5 Horsepower 7 in. Bridge Tile Saw:
I needed a saw that I could use inside, too cold out for my blood. I could have used my neighbors contractors saw worth over a grand. But too large and messy for inside the house. After reading the reviews here decided to purchase. I took about 2 hrs setting it up and accurizing it to less than a 64th. Modified the water feed by removing the fitting on the guard and shortening it by half drilled 5/16" thru the underside half way thru. Took 5/16" od tubing 1-1/2" long split down the middle part way up and glued in with epoxy. With each half of tube on either side of blade. Water now flows down both sides of blade and the colling air doesn't blow it off. Installed 1/16" rubber gasket material on blade guard to act as spray shield that extends all the way down to the table. Now no water/mud leaves the table. I'm cutting in my finished basement, no mess. Wife happy and I'm warm. Set up to cut notches in the corner of each 12" x 12" tile to allow square inserts with the included table accessories. cut over 100 tiles in less than an hour. My neighbor comes over just after I finished. He can't believe that I'm cutting in my basement, nor that I have set up a production run. Each piece cut exactly the same. His saws can't duplicate what I did with this cheapo saw according to him. His saws are for sale, and I will get paid to set-up each of his new saws just like mine. Thanks again for another great product.

Saw Not Used Correctly
By Gary
from Palo Alto CA
Yesterday I tried using the saw to get familiar on how to use it. There was no information in the instruction manual on how to use it, but on the box there was a picture of what I assumed was the way to cut tile. The picture showed the person pulling motor/blade away from the end with the measuring scale. So I tried that. I cut about an inch and then stopped. There was no water getting to the cutting surface. I could feel tile dust hitting my face. And the blade was hot. I have used wet saws for 30 years and know how they should work. I also noticed that the blade direction was in an upward direction. The first thing I tried was to attach a small wire around the screw holding plastic shield for the blade and then moved the water hose near the cutting area. I tried cutting again. This worked better, but I could still feel tile dust on my face. Still not correct. That's when it hit me, we're cutting backwards. I moved the water hose back to the correct position and moved the motor/blade to the opposite end of the ruler. Set my tile down, turned the motor on, waited a few seconds for the water to start and started to cut. This is much better. The water is cooling blade correctly and the blade cutting direction is going down as it should. And no dust in my face too. And maybe most important, there was less chipping. The cut edge was very smooth.

I don't understand the other reviews
By KC Cares Handyman
from Wichita, ks
I read everybodys review Pro's and Con, and I have to ask my self if everyone was using it backwards as far as the water issue? You only need a little water on the tile. No need for modification on the water. 1.5 motor was awesome compared to the little table unit I was using which some are selling for $90! I was going to check and see if the water nozzle had a spray adjustable tip, confirmed by my friend on other units. I got it out of the box and my friend says "Your gonna love it! I was cutting 20 inch tiles with a brezze. The small unit was bogging down, and my friend who is a professional talked me into getting something stronger. I shopped around on the internet and kept comeing back to this for wattage. As far as the breakage, Start it up and let water get to the tile and then start cutting. Remember tile is a mud, with a glaze, fired in an oven. If its breaking, let up a bit, don't force. Tile could be a cheap grade? Flush pump out after each use. For the price, I would buy another one if I have to.

Nice Saw for The Money
By Lloyd
from Florida
About Me Professional
I picked up this saw for a 1200 sq/ft total remodel job using 16x16s on the floor, a 5x5 shower and a kitchen back splash, my other saw was out of commission and we needed to get this job done, i stopped by a local HF and said what the heck if it completes this job we made our money. It comes with a 90 day warranty out of the box, i also picked up the the stand made for the saw, as shown in the above pic. Buy a good Rigid Diamond Blade and you are good to go, (the saw does not come with one), don't know about the dust issues in the other reviews, i never had a problem. There was minimal chipping if any, the fence measures true to a 1/32 and the saw tracks straight while cutting. Light weight easy to move and easy to clean, did not get wet at all while cutting, from a contractors point of view who would have ever thought using tools from HF, this saw is on the job until it quits. Bottom line great saw for the money.
Great Saw for the money!
By phatflyguy
from Eugene, OR
I returned two other saws before finding this saw, including the MK-170. This saw is far better than other saws in this same price range. Renting a saw would have cost me more. I made over 250 cuts with this saw and never have had an issue. The only negative is that it does kick up a fair amount of dust, it should be used outside! I would recommend this saw to anyone.
Works Fantastic and BETTER than renting
By Mitch
from Tucson, Az
This saw has glowing reviews and they are well deserved. I have used it to cut porcelain and glass tile with straight, mitered, and beveled cuts for a bathroom remodel. All of them are accurate and reproducible. I bought a Rigid blade and the cuts are smooth and effortless. Much more convenient and cheaper than renting a tile saw for 2 weeks...you get to take your time, not have to rush due to a rental deadline, and work at your own pace. It has paid for itself over and over. I'm VERY happy with this tool. Even if it wasn't on sale in addition to an additional 20% off it is still a bargain. Don't think twice about buying this for your tiling project!

Incredible deal on a GREAT saw!
By John G
from Cincinnati, OH
Tired of renting wet saws for the occasional tile job, I bought one of these for a complete master bathroom remodel. This thing works every bit as well as the rental units which cost nearly 1K to buy. Actually it is better because it can cut bigger tiles and I am using 8X20-inch tiles on this remodel. Based upon a couple other reviews, I bought a name brand blade. That blade with this saw cuts through tiles like butter, no splintering, cracking or motor hesitation. An awesome saw at an unbelievable price especially with the a 20% off deal for the purchase. Highest reccomendation!!!
Great buy

NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) - Rescued Chilean miner Edison Pena sang no Elvis tunes this time.
A subdued Pena has returned to run the New York City Marathon on Sunday, after a year in which he was hospitalized in Santiago for psychological problems and reported drug and alcohol issues.
Having spent 69 days trapped underground last fall with 32 fellow miners, Pena says the trauma of the event has "hit us now." The first anniversary of the rescue was Oct. 13.
"I don't really want to go into depth about the challenges that I faced, but suffice to say that I have gotten help and declared a truce with the problems I've had," Pena said at a New York Road Runners press conference Thursday before about 40 reporters. "I'm very fortunate to have a team of therapists, and right now I feel pretty good."
It was a stark contrast from the press conference last year, when a jovial Pena charmed more than 100 media members and topped it off with a rendition of "Return to Sender" by Presley. He declined a request for song, saying many of his fellow miners don't have jobs and suffer from "psychological issues" and insomnia.
"The impact of being trapped in the mine - we're feeling after we got out of the mine," Pena said through an interpreter.
He's received no financial benefit from the mining company or the Chilean government, but has gotten support from his wife and family during his ordeal, he said. No book or movie deals have materialized.
"The hardest time of the last year was when I was hospitalized. I realized that I felt like I was divided in two," Pena said. "That there was a normal me and a me that was a gorilla, and that I need to control that gorilla."
He's back to tackle the 26.2-mile course in New York because "running is very therapeutic for me."
"I decided to run again because I wanted to encourage others, and I wanted to show them and show myself that, 'Yes, we can,'" he said.
The 35-year-old Pena earned the nickname "The Runner" after logging up to six miles each day through the gold and copper mine tunnels to keep his mind and body sharp. He ran in steel-toed boots in the sweltering darkness until rescuers managed to make contact after 17 days and lowered down food and a pair of running shoes.
He also requested Presley songs be sent down and sang for his trapped miners to lift their spirits. His beloved singer was blasting over speakers when he crossed the NYC Marathon finish line last year, draped in the Chilean flag. He ran, walked and hobbled on a bad knee to finish in 5 hours, 40 minutes.
His whirlwind U.S. tour included an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" and a visit to Graceland, Presley's estate in Memphis, Tenn.
NYC Marathon director Mary Wittenberg and the NYRR organizers were in touch with Pena after he finished the Tokyo Marathon in February. When they learned of Pena's emotional struggles last month, they got in touch with the Chilean consulate in New York and Pena's therapist in Santiago to check on his status.
"We worked through the consulate and wanted to ensure that this made sense for Edison," Wittenberg said. "We threw our arms open wide to welcome him back here to New York."
Accompanied by his therapist to New York, Pena cracked a rare smile during the press conference when he heard himself singing an Elvis tune during video highlights of his marathon quest from last year.
"Stay tuned for songs," Pena said. "Maybe not today, but another day."

Professional Strength Amino Acid Formula
Pharmaceutical Delivery
DecaDrive™ Technology for Absorption
Full Spectrum Muscle Building Amino Acid Complex
AMINO DECANATE's scientifically advanced amino aid complex with DecaDrive delivery has set a new standard in amino acid supplementation. New research reveals that in addition to Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and glutamine, other critical amino acids are needed to ensure maximum muscle growth, recovery and performance. During exercise, your body has a greater demand for aminos to fuel energy production. Any deficiency in certain amino acids will compromise muscle growth and performance. This deficiency is known as the "Rate Limiting Amino Acid Factor." AMINO DECANATE is a potent and precisely formulated 10.5 gram mega-dose of 19 critically important amino acids designed to support muscle building and prevent muscle wasting, while feeding both the Citric Acid Cycle and Alanine Glucose Cycle for enhanced energy and muscle endurance. Each serving of AMINO DECANATE provides 5 grams of BCAAs in a potent leucine loaded 10:1:1 ratio, yielding 10 times the amount of leucine to isoleucine and valine. The latest research shows that leucine is the key protein synthesis for peak muscle building. AMINO DECANATE also contains a full 5 gram dose of pure premium grade L-glutamine for a more favorable environment to further support muscle growth and recovery. To overcome Rate Limiting Amino Acid deficiencies, each serving also provides 500 mg of Critical Core Amino Acids (CCAAs) to fuel the Citric Acid Cycle and Alanine Glucose Cycle, while feeding muscle tissue.
DecaDrive Shifts You Overdrive!
AMINO DECANATE provides all of these micronized amino acids via the scientifically advanced DecaDrive Technology for faster and better utilization and absorption of these critical muscle building aminos. DecaDrive Technology utilizes pharmaceutical delivery methods using the compounds PEG and Decanoate to increase amino acid uptake in the intestines. This powerful infusion of AMINO DECANATE delivers maximum muscle building, muscle protection, increased energy production and improved recovery. AMINO DECANATE is the new bodybuilding standard in amino acid supplementation!

Director General/Executive Director
Remarks of the Executive Director UNODC at the International High-Level Conference on a Comprehensive and Integrated Approach to Prevention & Treatment of Drug Dependence and related HIV/AIDS
21 May 2012
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for inviting me to the conference which is dedicated to building a new strategic approach to the prevention and treatment of drug dependence and related HIV/AIDS.
Creating a national strategy that addresses drug supply and demand is a vital one for Ukraine, but also for other countries across the globe.
Drug use and dependence represent growing challenges for public health, social and economic development and security.
This challenge is confronted by both industrialized and developing countries. It is heavily associated with health problems, poverty, violence, criminal behaviour and social exclusion.
Illicit drug use ranks as one of the top twenty risk factors to health worldwide. Every year, up to 200,000 people are killed due to illicit drugs.
The cost of drugs to societies is enormous. If crime, health and lost productivity are all taken into account, it is estimated that the cost is as much as 2 per cent of GDP in some countries.
In many countries, up to two-thirds of people who come into contact with the law test positive for drugs.
Studies indicate that the percentage of prisoners facing drug problems ranges from 40 to 80 per cent.
And the causal relationship between drug abuse and serious diseases has created a heavy burden of disease that must be carried by societies everywhere.
Across the globe, injecting drug use is the major highway along which HIV and hepatitis travels. Up to 10% of global HIV infections are due to this form of taking drugs.
But, behind these figures is the human dimension. The misery and pain suffered by individuals, families and communities.
These are the stories of children, women and men: neglected, abused, deprived and excluded. These people face extreme poverty and often extreme violence.
UNODC, along with its partners, advocates a re-balancing of the international policy on drugs and crime.
At present, the balance between work on the supply and demand sides tends to favour the supply side. But, supply reduction cannot succeed without an equally strong commitment to demand reduction.
Instead of punishment, we offer individuals science-based programmes directed at p revention, treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration back into society that protect their human rights.
Comprehensive and cost-effective treatment tools exist. Outreach, health care, evidence-based training for those offering support, and social protection have all been demonstrated to work.
Fighting stigma and discrimination are also essential. We must educate, educate and educate again, not just children and young people, but entire societies.
To help achieve this, UNODC has recently launched a Youth Initiative aimed at empowering young persons to advocate for substance use prevention and for societies where drugs are rejected as a way of life.
We must also appreciate that drug users deserve support and assistance; they do not deserve marginalization and exclusion.
Since 2009, UNODC has had an ongoing programme for the prevention of drug use, HIV/AIDS and crime among young people through training programmes in low-and-middle-income countries.
Based on estimates, for every $1 dollar invested in treatment it reduces the costs of drug-related crime, criminal justice costs and theft by $4 to $7 dollars.
When health care savings are added, the total estimated savings exceed costs by a ratio of 12 to 1.
Overall, the UNODC's approach is a "one-stop shop" that ensures patients receive the necessary support at every stage of their disease.
This means protecting individuals from the devastating impact of drug use: HIV infection, overdoses, and starvation, while also enabling individuals to discuss psychological issues and make requests for detoxification.
These approaches follow the 2009 Political Declaration which called for the implementation of the nine interventions viewed by UNAIDS, UNODC and WHO as effective against HIV among drug users.
Such approaches must also be linked at the local and international levels to ensure that we develop an integrated response to the prevention and treatment of drug dependence.
I, therefore, commend the launch of Ukraine's National Drug strategy in line with the drug conventions, which offers a crucial link between the local and the global.
UNODC is prepared to offer every assistance in the development of Ukraine's comprehensive drug control and public health policy.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The main purpose of this conference is not only to discuss drug control and treatment within Ukraine, but also to promote a science-based approach in the treatment of drug dependence to the region.
To do so, we need to recognize the interconnected nature of our work. Countries are confronted by the same threats, and quite often they share the same solutions.
Our greatest challenge is to continue to exchange ideas and lessons to ensure that every country offers effective and efficient drug treatment, fully compatible with human rights and the rule of law.
I commend the Government of Ukraine for their commitment and vision for improving drug demand treatments and seeking to alleviate the suffering of people affected by drugs.
On behalf of UNODC, I look forward to working with the government of Ukraine to achieve these goals.
Thank you.
