Sony DSC-RX100 now in India

The Sony DSC-RX100 has finally landed in India, according to Sony India. RX100 is an advanced point and shoot camera which has created excitement around the world.

The Sony DSC-RX100 comes with several features which are very unique. The first is the 1-inch, 20 megapixel back side illuminated sensor that Sony claims will deliver low noise performance like no other. We have already seen such a sensor in the mirror less segment, but never in the point and shoot arena. The bigger sensor also includes bigger pixel pitch (3.6 times bigger than a regular point and shoot).

Along with a bigger sensor we also get treated to a lens with a fast aperture of f/1.8 at the wide setting. The Sony DSC-RX100’s aperture assembly comprises of 7 aperture blades, yielding a circular shape that creates pleasing circular highlights in the out of focus areas. There is also a control ring on the lens that can be used to change aperture, shutter speed, ISO or the focus itself, depending on the mode one might be shooting in.

Sony DSC-RX100 will cost Rs 34990 and it comes with 4 GB memory card and HDMI Cable.
