The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a 20.2 megapixel compact camera, part of the Cyber-shot line of digital cameras made by Sony and announced on 6 June 2012.[1] It was named as the "European Advanced Compact Camera for 2012–2013" by the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA).[2] It was named one of the 'Best Inventions of 2012' by TIME. [3]

Notable features

Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 II

In June 2013, Sony unveiled a new version of the camera, called DSC-RX100 II (model number DSC-RX100M2).[6] New features included:

Hasselblad Stellar and Stellar II

On 23 July 2013, Swedish luxury camera manufacturer Hasselblad announced the 'Stellar', a compact camera based on the DSC-RX100, incorporating a wooden or carbon grip. On 1 November 2013, Hasselblad announced another three cosmetic variants of the camera, named the Stellar Special Edition. On 26 November 2014, Hasselblad announced the Stellar II based on the DSC-RX100M2.

Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III

The mark-III version of the RX100, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III (model number DSC-RX100M3), was released in June 2014.[7] The camera had a new Bionz X processor, as used in the Sony Alpha 77 II, and a new Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens (24-70mm (35mm equivalent), f1.8-2.8) giving a wider angle of view (while curtailing the maximum equivalent focal length from 100mm to 70mm).[8] Unlike its predecessor, the RX100 II, it does not have Sony's multi-interface hotshoe (limiting flash photography to the small built-in unit), but includes a pop-up OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF).[9] The DSC-RX100 III has customizable functions. The viewfinder and rear LCD can be set to different displays. The RX100 III can be set manually with shutter speed and aperture fixed, but with Auto ISO (sensitivity) giving the correct metered exposure.[10]

Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV

In June 2015, Sony released the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV, the mark-IV version of the RX-100.[11] Like its predecessors, it has the same 1-inch 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and ISO levels 12800. The RX-100 MARK-IV can now record 4K video in XAVC-S format with frame rates up to 24, 25, and 30 fps. However, due to extreme write speed and processing power, it can only record 5-minute 4K shots to prevent any serious damage to the camera.[12] It also features Slow-mo video recording and can capture up to 960 fps for NTSC mode and 1000 fps for PAL mode.[13]

Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V

On October 6, 2016, Sony announced the RX100 V.[14]
