Looking for a compact camera with premium features? Sony has released not one, but two cameras for you to choose from.
First is the Cyber-shot RX100 II Camera:
Designed to increase sensitivity in low-light conditions and reduce overall picture noise, the new Exmor R™ 1.0-type, back illuminated CMOS sensor in the RX100 II camera is the world’s largest back-illuminated CMOS sensor ever developed. It is approximately 40% more effective in dimly lit situations compared to the existing RX100 model.
Additionally, the new RX100 II model is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities and is also the first ever Sony camera to include NFC, giving the extra convenience of instant, one-touch wireless transfer of content between devices. Its Smart Remote Control functionality lets users preview images and control shutter release directly from their connected phone.
Additionally, the RX100 II model has expanded Full HD video capabilities with the addition of 24p shooting for cinematically styled movies. Other refinements include a step zoom function that lets users instantly choose any of five popular focal lengths for handy scene framing. Shooters can select 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 70mm or 100mm focal lengths using the camera’s control ring, giving them an intuitive and fast alternative to zooming in and out.
Next up is the Special Edition Cyber-shot RX1R Camera:
The new Cyber-shot RX1R full-frame compact camera is designed to satisfy even the most critical photographer’s desire for sharper, more detailed pictures and enhanced resolution. The model’s ‘R’ suffix denotes a further improvement in the pocket-sized camera’s already spectacular resolution.
In common with many DSLR cameras, the original Cyber-shot RX1 camera features a multi-segment optical low-pass filter (OLPF) in front of the sensor to suppress unwanted moiré and color artifacts. The enthusiast-oriented RX1R model removes this low-pass filter, guaranteeing flawless image capture and bringing new levels of realism to landscapes and other finely-detailed subjects.
Additionally, to compensate for this removal of the OLPF, the camera’s processing functions have been optimized to maintain image sharpness without compromising lens/sensor performance.
The new Cyber-shot RX100 II and RX1R models will both be available mid next month for about $799 and $2,999, respectively. The cameras and a range of compatible accessories can be purchased at Sony retail stores (http://store.sony.ca/RXSeries) and other authorized dealers nationwide.
