Sony has launched today new Cyber-shot RX10 digital camera, with the fixed Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T 24-200mm (35mm equivalent) F2.8 lens, which will offer superb levels of clarity and resolving power, which one expect from the interchangeable lens collection. According to Sony, Cyber-shot RX10 premium bridge-style camera offers DSLR-style creative power without the need to carry interchangeable lenses. This camera is light, and its rigid magnesium alloy body is dust- and moisture-resistant.
In this camera, a wide F2.8 maximum aperture right across the zoom range gives extra brightness, and enables you shoot in low light without increasing ISO settings. Comfortable to hold and generously equipped with manual controls, the Cyber-shot RX10 feels instantly familiar to anyone who has handled a DSLR camera.

Fully utilising the quality of the wide-aperture lens, it reads data from every one of the large sensor’s pixels to create extremely smooth, highly-detailed Full HD video. A ‘clear’ HDMI output allows video to be reviewed on an external monitor or recorded to a separate storage device.
