Premiere of Sony A7R II with 42 MP from BSI-CMOS FF sensor, RX10 RX100 II and IV with the breakdown of 4K

Sony A7R series digital cameras, RX10 and RX100 are the best digital photo cameras in their categories - mirrorless camera (there is no competition here), superzoom with 1" sensor . Sony A7R II is 42,4 MP full-frame sensor with BSI-CMOS sensor (first of its kind), and the RX10 RX100 II and IV have 20 Mpix. All devices boast 4K video capabilities.

In the case of the Sony A7R II we are dealing, as usual, with camera, one of a kind. The Exmor R CMOS sensor is capable of ISO sensitivities ranging from 50 to 102400. Integrated 399 phase detection AF points (cover 45% sensor surface), who are helped 25 contrast detection points, will allow you to take high-quality photos extremely quickly.

The camera also contained 5-axis performance stabilization 4,5 EV, borrowed from the A7 II model, plus the largest electronic viewfinder currently available, the XGA OLED TruFinder with magnification 0,78 x (uses Zeiss T* coating).

This second parameter is impressive. As well, as well as 4K video features. In the case of the Sony A7R II, recordings in UHD resolution are possible (3840×2160). They are obtained from reading the full frame, but also on the frame, corresponding to Super format 35 mm, which still allows reading 1,8 x more pixels, than it requires 4K video resolution. XAVC S is used as codec, which provides data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.

Sony also guarantees, which decreased by 50% vibration, which was created when the shutter was released.

Main parameters of A7R II:

• sensor 42,4 Mpix, Exmor R, full frame
• image processor: BIONZ X
• ISO sensitivity: 100-25600 (expanding 50-102400)

Company from the beginning 2016 will present 8 new glasses, designed for Sony FE systems. Another new product – superzoom Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II, has the same lens, like its predecessor, i.e 24-200 mm with f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire range. The camera can record 4K video (Codec XAVC S), and burst mode reaches speed 14 a / s (due to faster DRAM buffer memory, which is an element of the matrix). In addition to standard video modes, 1080p video modes are also available with amazing recording speeds 960 a / s (the image is recorded in resolution 1280 x 800), and 480 and 240 a / s, and electronic shutter 1/32000 sec.

The latest of the new products is a compact camera of the RX100 series. The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV has undergone a long evolution. New features associated primarily with the new sensor. Because he is the same, as in RX10 has the same functionality – i.e, super video Full HD, 4K video with XAVC S codec. The Fast Intelligent AF system should also be better under warranty, which allows you to work on moving objects in the mode 0,09 seconds. Burst camera mode is even faster, than in the RX10 II and is 16 a / s.

Like RX10 II, Like the RX100 IV, it features a new XGA OLED TruFinder electronic viewfinder with resolution 2,35 million pixels.
