Sony RX10M II The Bridge Camera Killer

Next-Generation Sensor

With the world’s first 1-inch stacked back-side illuminated Exmor RS CMOS sensor, a new world of super-real photography emerges.

Introducing the world’s first* 1-inch (1.0-type) stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and a blazingly fast shutter speed of up to 1/32000s This new Exmor RS sensor not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked structure with more circuit sections; it also realizes over five times faster readout speed of the previous RX10.

Thanks to Sony for pushing the boundaries of image sensors beyond its limit and constantly innovating, with a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure. This processing speed allows for stunning 20.2-megapixels at up to 16fps continuous.

The Sony RX10 II took its design ques built and lens specification from its predecessor, but it also debut some of the most impressive new technology under the hood. Its video recording offers up in body 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution, as well as an option for 40x super slow motion capture at 960 fps.

Like its predecessor, the RX10 II provides a stabilized 24-200mm equivalent lens with Super-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter at max. 1/32000 sec. up to 16fps, Bright constant F2.8 ZEISS Vario Sonar T* lens. Also as in the RX10 before it, WI-Fi and NFC are also built-in

 The RX10 II is sealed against dust and moisture

High quality 4k in this new camera is achieved by a high-speed front-end LSI, which processes mass volume image data from the 1-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor – With full pixel readout and no line skipping or pixel binning – resulting in images that exhibit higher resolution and less moiré and jaggies than typical 4K movies. Moreover, the XAVC S format is incorporated to maximize high-bitrate shooting up to 100 Mbps for professional quality videos.

The  RX10M II also includes pro-style functions such as; Picture Profile, S-Log2/S-Gamut, TC/UB, Rec Control, Dual Video Recording, marker display function, etc. that have typically been available only in professional-use camcorders.

You can now get to see the unseen with super-speed HFR (High Frame Rate). The RX10M II can capture super slow motion HFR movie at up to 40x slower than real time. You can chose from 960fps, 480fps or 240fps to playback in XAVC S at 1920 x 1080, in either 60p, 30p or 24p.

constant-aperture F2.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm (35mm equivalent

It is built with Professional dust/moisture resistant magnesium-alloy body, Bright XGA OLED Tru-Finer viewfinder and Sharp 3″ multi-angle LCD, Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi and NFC w/ camera apps Sony’s play memory store and a lot more than we can list here.

Where ever you go and whatever you shoot, the large, constant F2.8 aperture ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm (35mm equivalent ) lens lets you take sensational images with beautiful background defocusing throughout its zoom lens range.

Its impressive depiction reflects lens-body integrated design of 7 aspherical lens elements, including an Advanced Aspherical lens to compensate for aberrations, plus ZEISS T* Coating to help reduce flare and ghosting. This versatile lens features Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) with accurate focusing stop positions, and provides seamless shifting to macro shooting supported by wide-angle and telephoto settings.

Sony is one of the few Companies that truly listen to its customers feedback and actually do something with the complains and improvement request that they gets and now they have delivered in a major way bringing professional imaging experience to the acclaimed Cyber shot RX series

Now I know maybe really excited about this camera in my test and review, so let me be a little modest and say that this camera is not perfect its just better.
There is no other camera right now in its class that can take mind blowing crisp sharp video and stills images like it does, and all I can say is go Get one for yourself do your own test I promise you wont want to put it down after you take it of the box.

Sony RX100 IV The Undefeated Champion!

 

The mostimpressive features of the RX100 IV is its ability to capture and record 4Kvideo, in camera

Ever Since Sony entered the digital camera market back in 1981 with their first Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera) (which incidentally played a key role in coverage of the Los Angeles Olympic Games) the evolutionary wheel has been turning in triple overtime and Sony has the spoils to show for it.

Sony has position themselves in the camera market as the ultimate Game changer, who took the DSLR market and flip it on its head and if that wasn’t enough they also took the dying point and shoot camera market and undeniably redefine and re-engineer it.

It is absolutely impossible to deny how pro-active Sony has been at the innovative wheel, cramming more technology inside their tiny mirrorless cameras than any other camera manufacture, Sony has also single handedly dominated the smart Phone camera sensor market by biting off a huge 40% market share for themselves; with their sensors now in some of the latest flagship smart phones from companies like Apple ipnone 6 & 6+ and Samsung S6’s  and they still can’t keep up with the demand.

And now they have effectively unleash the enthusiast in everyone with their new offerings, namely the large One inch sensor Beast compact camera the RX100 IV which boasting some truly worthwhile and impressive improvements over its predecessor, the RX100 III.

The RX100IV can also record (up to) 40x super slow motion

Continuing the design language of the RX100-series that has defined the category, this handsome compact retains almost exactly the same pocket-friendly body as in the earlier model, but under the skin it's more capable than ever with greater performance and a much clearer viewfinder.

Most of the new features in the Sony RX100 IV come courtesy of its brand-new Sony Exmor RS image sensor, which replaces the earlier Exmor R chip in the RX100 III. Featuring an industry-first Stacked CMOS Sensor design with embedded DRAM, this allows not only a significant improvement in burst capture rate (now up to 16 frames per second at full resolution), but also provides for electronic shutter capability up to 1/32,000 second. And impressively, Sony is claiming that high-speed readout will translate to minimal rolling shutter (or jello) effect, even when using the electronic shutter!

But that’s not all The new sensor also allows the Sony RX100 IV to provide 4K video capture, and high frame-rate video at up to a staggering 1,000 frames per second. And there are upgrades in other areas, too -- for example, a brand-new Organic LED display in the popup electronic viewfinder that now has double the dot count of that in the earlier camera.

The AFsystem has also received an upgrade

Sony has also included plenty of firmware tweaks in the RX100 IV. These include a new expanded flexible spot autofocus function, and an additional self-timer option of five seconds duration. And when shooting in Program or Aperture-priority modes, you can now access the longest shutter speed of 30 seconds that was previously restricted to only Shutter-priority or Manual shooting. Add in seven new Picture Profile options that allow you to control things like black level, gamma, black gamma, knee, and plenty more besides.

All of these new features sit alongside the same 24-70mm equivalent, f/1.8-2.8 optical zoom lens with SteadyShot image stabilization as in the earlier camera. Also retained are an ISO sensitivity range of 125 to 12,800 equivalents (extendable down to ISO 80), a BIONZ X-branded image processor, 3.0-inch LCD monitor with tilt articulation, and a built-in popup flash.

Priced at only US $948.00, the Sony RX100 IV is on Sale now in the US market.
If you've never had a chance to play with super slow-motion video, you're in for a real treat!
