Sony Launched Cyber-Shot RX10 in India for Rs 84,990 | See Specification

Sony Launched their new camera named as Cyber-Shot RX10 in India but their price is high for local people as company decide their price as Rs. 84,990 INR.

It revives the large-sensor, long-zoom concept of the R1, but utilizing the same 1"-type BSI CMOS sensor, meaning it can offer a balance of high image quality and long zoom in a sensibly sized package. In this case it means the RX10 is able to offer a 24-200mm equivalent F2.8 lens.

That relatively big sensor means the RX10 is not a small camera - it's about the height and width of a small DSLR and, though its body is slimmer than that, its 8.3x lens adds a stout, weighty bulk to the proceedings.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 Key Features

• 20MP 1"-type BSI CMOS sensor (13.2 x 8.8mm)
• 24-200mm equivalent stabilized F2.8 lens
• Built-in 3-EV Neutral Density filter
• Flip-out, 1.3m dot (VGA resolution) rear LCD
• 1.14m dot OLED viewfinder
• ISO 125 - 12,800 (expandable down to ISO 80)
• Approx 10fps continuous shooting in 'Speed Priority mode'
• Wi-Fi with NFC for easier connection (with compatible devices)

The RX10 also becomes the first Sony to feature a 'Direct Drive SSM' focus motor, which uses piezoelectric materials to position the focus element, rather than linear motors. The company says this allows the lens to be both moved and stopped more accurately - reducing focus times. The lens also has a pretty reasonable close-focus distance, that increases from 3cm at the wide-angle end to 30cm at the other extreme (giving magnification ratio of 0.45x and 0.38x respectively).

The more powerful processor not only promises more detailed JPEGs, it also allows the camera to use every pixel to create its video, rather than having to sub-sample the sensor as most DSLRs do.

(At least, we hope it isn't.) The latest release on its YouTube channel starts with an overplayed build-up, replete with a shadowy sci-fi setting and steady crescendo, and then ends with a detailed (and inevitably mundane) look at exactly what you'll find in the PlayStation 4's box when it lands in stores this Friday, right down to the voucher freebies and plastic-wrapped cables. The video is presented by none other than Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios -- a man who's known to enjoy a bit of fun in the spotlight.
