It’s been almost five years since the launch of the RX100 VII, an imperfect yet excellent addition to Sony’s line of premium compacts. With a pocket-friendly build, impressive image quality and superlative autofocus, it’s a model we still rate as one of the best compact cameras. But as its fifth birthday approaches, we’re not the only ones asking: will we ever see a Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VIII?
The truth is that we don’t know right now. Talk about a successor to the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VII has been swirling since a few months after that camera launched in the summer of 2019. Yet there’s been no indication from Sony that it’s working on a follow-up. Even more tellingly, we’ve seen very few of the online rumors and leaks which usually point towards a new model in the works.
