Sony announces Cyber-shot RX10; large sensor & zoom

Sony’s RX line of cameras has always been known for featuring professional elements in compact sizes. Now joining the RX100, the RX100 II, the RX1 & the RX1R, the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 goes in the mix with a feature set of its own.

The RX10 packs a 1-inch 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor & a 24-200mm optically stabilized zoom lens with a constant aperture of f/2.8. In addition, it’s highlighted that the auto-focus, even with the zoom capabilities, have been vastly improved. No need to worry for macro shots too as the working distance is at 3cm. While it isn’t entirely as compact as the rest of the RX family, it’s still significantly smaller than a DSLR.
