RX1

Fotodiox has launched a line of accessories for the Sony DSC-RX1, which consist of the following:

  • Camera grip: This one-piece, all-metal grip promises added comfort and a more secure grip. It’s specially designed so users can remove the battery or memory card without removing the grip.
  • Lens hood: The lightweight bayonet lens hood protects the camera from impact, shock, and other on-the-go elements. It also helps prevent stray light from entering the camera lens, allowing for a cleaner, clearer picture.
  • Shutter release button: Available in 7 different colors, the sleek shutter release button is perfect for those looking for a larger, more comfortable release than what their current camera offers.

Fotodiox RX1 Kit

The full kit runs $109.95. Check it out here at Amazon.com.
