Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II - the new Rx0 II

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II is a carefree camera that can take you places other cameras can't. Measuring just 59mm x 40.5mm x 35mm and weighing 132 grams, the RX0 II fits easily in your pocket and is ready for any weather. It's waterproof to 10 metres, dustproof and shockproof to 2 metres and crushproof to 200kg.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II is equipped with a one-inch sensor, Zeiss® lens and can be a larger multi-camera set. Original from Rx0 was designed to open new doors of creativity and ingenuity, and now it has gone even further. Sony does a godsend on the camera side and gives creators tools that are limited only by their imagination.

The Rx0 II allows 4k30p internally from the entire sensor without ”pixel binning”, collecting about 1.7 times the amount of data needed to produce 4k video. By oversampling the data, moire and jaggies are minimized. The video is smooth and of high quality. The new Imaging Edge app lets you transfer your video to your mobile device.

The device has electronic image stabilisation so shooting is stable even from the handheld (video only). Super slow motion captures video at a staggering 1000 frames per second (with a limited angle of view). Compressed 4k HDMI output with simultaneous proxy recording is also possible. Image profiles feature s-Log 2, so cross colour matching with larger cameras is easy.
