Camera Overview — Sony DSC-RX10

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 1-inch, 20MP sensor paired with the BIONZ X image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The camera records stills at a maximum resolution of 5472x3648 pixels and supports a burst mode at up to 10 frames per second, making it capable for action and fast-moving subjects.

On the video side, the RX10 captures footage up to 1080p at frame rates of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps in 8-bit color, with color profile options including Standard and Cinema. The autofocus system uses contrast detection and the camera features optical image stabilization to help reduce camera shake. A 3.0-inch, 1,440,000-dot LCD display handles framing and review duties, while a 60Hz electronic viewfinder provides an alternative eye-level shooting experience.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, USB, and Mini HDMI output, and storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. A standard hot shoe adds external flash compatibility. The composite body offers dust-resistant construction and weighs 813g, measuring 129 x 88 x 102 mm.

A built-in flash and rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 330 shots round out the feature set.
