Sony India has also launched today advanced Cyber-shot cameras under the much-acclaimed RX series, the compact RX100 IV and high-zoom RX10 II cameras. The RX100 IV is priced Rs. 69,990 and RX10 II has a price tag of Rs. 94,990.
The RX100 IV and RX10 II have the ability to record super slow-motion videos of up to 40x slower than the standard rate, allowing users to capture and replay fleeting moments of action with incredible detail, resolution and clarity.
These cameras come with 1.0 type stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor with an attached DRAM chip, which allows them to perform exceptionally well while capturing fast-moving subjects. In particular, its fast processing capability results in continuous speeds of up to 16fps on the RX100 IV, and up to 14fps on the RX10 II for an extended period of time.
Additionally, the ultra-fast readout of the image sensor is responsible for the high speed Anti-Distortion Shutter (maximum speed of 1/32000 second), which allows the new cameras to capture sharp, crystal clear images with a wide open aperture at brightness levels up to EV19. It also minimises the “rolling shutter” effect commonly experienced with fast moving subjects.
The new RX100 IV and RX10 II models are the first Cyber-shot cameras to offer the advantages of 4K (QFHD 3840×2160) movie recording. The capacity for shooting 4K differs slightly on each of the two cameras, as the more professionally-styled RX10 II can shoot 4K videos at extended lengths of up to 29 minutes, while the more casual, pocket-friendly RX100 IV can shoot 4K clips of up to approximately 5 minutes in length.
Both cameras also have advanced dual video recording functionality, allowing shooters to capture 16.8-megapixel still images during 4K video recording in any of 11 different composition patterns, simply by pressing the shutter button.
Both the cameras are equipped with a new high-contrast XGA OLED Tru-Finder with approximately 2.35 million dots of resolution, ensuring true-to-life image preview and playback functionality. Both of the new models feature an upgraded Fast Intelligent AF system that enables high-speed, high-precision contrast detection of a moving subject in as little as 0.09 seconds. The new cameras also have Wi-Fi and NFC compatibility and the ability to access Sony’s growing range of PlayMemories Camera Applications.
Both the models feature a variety of customisable controls and buttons to fit the style of any shooters. The RX10 II has dust and moisture resistance capability also.
