<\/a><\/p>\nWow, a F1.8 lens. It is one of the brightest I have seen. And the large sensor is going to help a lot in noise reduction. Here is the specs.<\/p>\n
Specifications<\/p>\n
Here is the Press Release<\/p>\n Cyber-shot\u2122 RX100 from Sony with world\u2019s first[1] 1.0-type 20.2 effective megapixel sensor <\/em><\/p>\n and bright F1.8 lens <\/em><\/p>\n (SINGAPORE, 06 JUNE 2012)<\/strong> \u2013 Travelling light doesn\u2019t mean compromising on picture quality with the new Cyber-shot\u2122 DSC-RX100 camera.<\/p>\n Sleekly crafted in aluminium for strength, lightness and luxurious looks, the RX100 inherits many advanced imaging features from Sony\u2019s \u03b1 range of A-mount and E-mount camera families. It\u2019s an accomplished partner for travel, portraits or street photography, with impressive picture quality and intuitive, comfortable control options that make the RX100 ideal as a step-up from point-and-shoot cameras. It\u2019s also ideal as a pocket-sized second camera for enthusiasts who want to capture pristine stills and Full HD video while they\u2019re on the move.<\/p>\n At the heart of the Cyber-shot\u2122 RX100 is the world\u2019s first1<\/sup> 1.0-type Exmor CMOS sensor with a resolution of 20.2 effective megapixels. Specially developed by Sony, the sensor has an area that\u2019s around four times larger than the 1\/2.3-type imager in regular point-and-shoot cameras. Capturing far more light than small-sensor cameras, it\u2019s the key to beautiful, detail packed images and Full HD movie clips with very low noise.<\/p>\n The larger sensor is partnered with an ultra-bright Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 3.6x optical zoom range. In contrast with standard point-and-shoot cameras, the wide F1.8 maximum aperture lets in more light to complement the resolving power of the large 1.0-type Exmor CMOS sensor.<\/p>\n In common with high-performance DSLR optics, the lens features seven- bladed circular aperture. This makes it easy to produce pro-style \u2018bokeh\u2019 effects, with subjects in sharp focus against a smoothly-blurred background. The lens also features an Advanced Aspherical (AA) glass element that contributes to the camera\u2019s extremely compact dimensions without sacrificing optical performance or resolution.<\/p>\n Complementing the 1.0-type sensor and lens, the optimised BIONZ image processor maximises shooting responses while assuring exceptionally clean, natural images. It also extends sensitivity right up to ISO 256002<\/sup> (using Multi Frame Noise Reduction), allowing exceptionally clear handheld images in dim light. Speedy burst shooting at up to 10 frames per second (full-resolution) lets you grab split-second photo opportunities, while high-speed autofocus locks onto your target in as little as 0.13 seconds[3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nBig sensor and bright lens for better pictures in a pocket-sized body<\/h2>\n
