NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 15, 2015) - Sony has announced the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II digital camera, a super-compact full-frame point-and-shoot with a fixed 35mm f/2 Zeiss lens. The major improvement comes in the form of a new full-frame image sensor, a 42.4-megapixel Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor with a lightning-fast 399-point phase-detect Fast Hybrid AF system which is 30% faster than the original Cyber-shot RX1, with 5fps capture capability. This is the same system as the one found in the groundbreaking Sony a7R II mirrorless camera. Also, the stills-oriented camera now has a retractable 0.39" 2.36M-dot electronic viewfinder with an impressive 0.74x magnification. The camera has an all-new pop-up electronic viewfinder.

Another huge advantage of this model is the implementation of a world’s-first variable optical low-pass filter, which allows you to take full advantage of the high-resolution sensor. This system works by applying voltage to a liquid crystal layer to determine the amount of filtration that is desired. It can be set to “Off,” which focuses on detail, “Hi,” which aims to eliminate moiré and aliasing, or “Standard,” which balances the two sides. This function can also be bracketed, so users will find it easier to determine which mode is best for their specific situation.
