Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI Pocket-sized Superzoom Unveiled

June 5, 2018 By Eric Reagan

Sony’s RX100 line is becoming somewhat legendary and the new RX100 VI looks to be more of the same. Sony continues to push boundaries with the RX100 VI, adding a 24-200mm f/2.8-4.5 zoom lens on the still-pocketable camera – all the while keeping its signature 20.1MP 1″ image sensor.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 VI Key Features

  • 20.1MP 1″ Exmor RS BSI CMOS Sensor
  • BIONZ X Image Processor & Front-End LSI
  • ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* f/2.8-4.5 Lens
  • 24-200mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • UHD 4K30p Video with HLG & S-Log3 Gammas
  • HFR Mode for Full HD Video up to 960 fps
  • 0.39″ 2.36m-Dot OLED Pop-Up EVF
  • 3.0″ 921.6k-Dot 180° Tilting Touchscreen
  • Fast Hybrid AF System with 315 Points
  • ISO 12800 and 24 fps Continuous Shooting

The RX100 VI’s sensor is a stacked Exmore RS CMOS with DRAM chip and an upgraded BIONZ X processor with a front-end LSI – providing faster processing and better image quality. The VI also features Sony’s Fast Hybrid AF system with 315-point phase detect AF points with a claimed focus acquisition speed of 0.03, which is best-in-class speed for 1″ cameras. It can also shoot at up to 24 fps at full resolution with continuous AF/AE tracking and captures 4K video with full pixel readout and no pixel binning.

The Sony RX100 VI will ship in July for $1200. Pre-0rders start Thursday, July 7. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

    If the EVF is decent, it looks like a winner in my book. I’ll be watching for some hands on field tests to see how it shakes out.
