Techradar explains why Sony should launch a new RX100 model in 2025

One insight from 2024 is that compact cameras with a fixed lens are back in fashion. This is what Techradar writes:

Zoomers embrace point-and-shoots, they don’t have a lot of choice when it comes to new gear. Perhaps that’s the point, and it’s all about vintage retro camera gear instead, which if true is great news for the secondhand market.

And that’s why the author writes:

I’d love to see an eighth iteration of the Sony RX100 series. The RX100 VII is five years old now, and Sony has done a lot since then, so a new model could be a seriously powerful pocket camera. What’s more likely, however, is a successor to 2016’s RX1R II – Sony’s pricier full-frame premium compact with a fixed 35mm lens. That series was hamstrung by its sky-high pricing (it wasn’t much cheaper than its Leica rival), but if Sony could make a next-gen model that’s priced a little closer to the Fujifilm X100VI, while adding a little retro flare, it’ll be a hit.

It would be stupid from Sony to miss out on the opportunity of this booming market!
