It would seem that the Leica Q be the number one topic today among photographers. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sony attacks until three prime ministers, and what’s more, the amount in this case translates into quality.
I did not expect. Without notice and without press releases, Sony officially revealed three new cameras. They are acclaimed successor equipment that strongly tremble photographic market.
Sony RX100 IV – speed and record 4K
The first novelty is the fourth game in the popular and well-received in the market RX100 compact. Contrary to previous announcements, it is equipped with a matrix Micro Four Thirds format. Sony applied here jednocalowy transmitter, although this is a new generation called the “Exmor RS CMOS sensor2″. The name sounds serious, and I wonder if it is marketing, and how much real news. We now know that new technology applied here “layered”.
The camera lens remained unchanged. It is a design Vario-Sonnar Zeiss T * 24-70mm (equivalent full frame), with a great focal ratio of f / 1.8 – f / 2.8. Finally the design of the device, or key features, which extend from the housing viewfinder, a pop-up flash and tilting screen. The latter still has no function touch. There were, of course, wireless connectivity, or Wi-Fi and NFC.
The main innovation in the Sony RX100 IV is speed. Burst speed is a staggering 16 frames / sec., And the shortest shutter speed is only 1 / 32,000 sec! This parameters that embarrass absolutely every DSLR, even the most professional models in the price of a good car.
The recording mode is also impressive. Sony made available to users recording in 4K resolution, and what’s more, while recording the entire image processor reads from the matrix, which then scales to a resolution of 3840 × 2160. Recording is done by codec XAVC S, so the 4K mode the maximum bitrate of 100 Mbps and Full HD – 50 Mbps. The filmmakers should also appreciate the ability to set gamma curves S-Log2 / S-Gamut. On board you will also find impressive slow-motion modes, of up to 960 fps!
Sony RX10 II – new movie
The second edition of the compact RX10 contains the same matrix as the new RX100 IV and the same lens as the first version of the RX10, or Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T * 24-200mm (equivalent full frame) f / 2.8. We find here all new modes of film that are also in the RX100 IV. Sony RX10 II will be slightly weaker in the pictures (offer “only” 14 frames / sec.), But they make up for in the film (allows to record 4K for 29 minutes, not just 5, as RX100 IV).
Both cameras have the function of taking pictures while recording movies 4K. There are single frames “pulled out” of the recording, and full of images at a resolution of 16.8 megapixels.
Both compacts also have the same viewfinder XGA OLED Tru-Finder with a resolution of 2.35 million dots. Others are structures only because dating in RX10 II is built on a permanent basis, and RX100 IV slides out from the body.
Sony a7R II – full frame, five-stabilization in the housing and 42 megapixels!
Sony a7R II is a real bomb. Sony has included in its five-axis stabilized matrix, similar to that of the A7 II. But what is that for the matrix! Standard for the A7 we are full-frame sensor, which this time has a resolution of 42.2 megapixels, and in addition it is a BSI sensor! Sony ensures that the new body has also (Note) 399 phase-detection autofocus fields! Focus will be about 40% faster than the model a7R. The maximum available ISO sensitivity is 102 thousand. In addition, the vibrations caused by the movement speed has been reduced by half, and a shutter life has been extended to 500 thousand. “Snaps”. The body is made of aluminum and is sealed.
With the new bezlusterkowca, Sony also modernized the video modes. We have on-board recording of 4K, which can choose whether the camera is sczytywać picture across the matrix, or with a slice of Super 35mm surface. Bitrate is 100 Mbps for 4K and 50 Mbps for full HD. There were also formats / codecs XAVC S and S-Log2 Gamma.
The Sony RX100 IV is priced at $ 1,000., RX10 II 1300 dollars., And Sony A7R II in 3199 dollars. (For body only). Cameras will debut on store shelves in the US on June 17.
