The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 is a high-end point-and-shoot camera that uses a large sensor and fast-aperture zoom lens.
Large 20.2MP Sensor. The RX10 uses the same oversized 20.2MP 1-inch Exmor-R BSI-CMOS sensor as its ultra-compact brother, the RX100MII. The large sensor provides high-resolution images with great low-light performance. There’s a new BIONZ X image processor, which enables 10 fps high-speed continuous shooting and quick autofocus performance.
Fast-Aperture All-In-One Zoom. While most all-in-one zooms require the sacrifice of even a halfway-decent aperture, the RX10 boasts a stabilized 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) lens with constant f/2.8 aperture. That’s right, f/2.8 all the way through! It features seven aspherical elements to minimize aberrations and distortion, and the famous Carl Zeiss T* coating that produces rich, contrasty images.
Full HD 1080p Video. The RX10 shoots Full HD 1080/60p video, as well as cinematic 24p in the AVCHD Ver. 2.0 codec. There’s full manual exposure control, a built-in mic for stereo audio recording, a headphone jack for monitoring sound directly from the camera, and a built-in HDMI output terminal that allows direct connection to your HDTV, computer, or external recorder for real-time, uncompressed video recording.
Built-In Electronic Viewfinder. The large XGA OLED electronic viewfinder provides 100% coverage with a live-view image preview. Additionally, the 3.0-inch 1,228K-dot tilting rear LCD is great for image capture and review.
Advanced Controls. Like the other models in Sony’s RX series, the RX10 offers manual control options for advanced users, as well as iAUTO mode for those who just want to pick up and shoot. There are seven control-function buttons that can be programmed to offer quick adjustments of forty different features, allowing reduced time spent in menus.
Built-In Wi-Fi. Allows wireless transmission of images as well as camera control with compatible smartphones and tablets.
Rugged Design. The top and front casings are constructed from magnesium alloy, and the camera’s dust- and moisture-resistant design even allows shooting in rugged outdoor environments. The RX10 records to SDHC/XC memory cards, and the rechargeable NP-FW50 battery is rated for about 420 shots per charge.
