Key Features — Sony RX0
15.3MP 1-Inch Sensor: Larger than typical action camera sensors, the 1-inch stacked CMOS delivers better dynamic range and low-light performance in a compact body.
BIONZ X Image Processor: Sony's capable image processor handles fast burst shooting and video processing with reduced noise at higher ISO values.
Super Slow Motion: Captures slow motion at up to 960fps at reduced resolution, with additional options at 120fps and 240fps for a range of motion work.
4K Video Output via HDMI: Records up to 1080p internally and outputs 4K via Micro HDMI to an external recorder, giving options for high-resolution capture.
S-Log2 Color Profile: Available in video mode, S-Log2 preserves more dynamic range for color grading in post-production.
Magnesium Alloy Body: The rigid metal construction keeps the camera at just 110g while providing durability suitable for active shooting environments.

Description — Sony RX0
The Sony RX0 packs a 15.3 MP, 1-inch sensor and a BIONZ X image processor into a body measuring just 59 x 40.5 x 29.8 mm and weighing 110g. That sensor operates across an ISO range of 125 to 12800, and the camera supports burst shooting at up to 16 fps. On the video side, you get 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 60fps, 720p at 120fps, and Super Slow Motion at 960fps — all with access to S-Log2 and Standard color profiles, matching what's available for stills.
The magnesium alloy body carries a Water Resistant rating, making it suitable for outdoor and action-oriented use. A 1.5-inch LCD handles monitoring, while WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, and Micro HDMI output cover connectivity needs. Storage runs on microSD, microSDHC, and microSDXC cards.
Autofocus uses a Contrast Detection system, and stabilization is handled digitally via Digital/Electronic IS.
