Today at CE Week 2012 we stopped by the Sony booth to check out some of their latest products. And we did get to see the brand new RX100 Cybershot camera. This device will be making its way to market in mid-July for the price of $650. However, NJTechReviews has a hands-on with the device for you right now! You can see our video below and continue reading for the written hands-on. I did get a chance to test out Sony’s latest and greatest camera. It features a 20.2 megapixel, this comes from the world’s first 1.0-inch type Exmor CMOS sensor. Too make the image even better Sony also included a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* fixed lens with 3.6x optical zoom range. This make the quality of this camera, close too or exactly what you get with a DSLR camera. This camera can take video in AVCH or MP4, both of the qualities are top-notch. In fact our hands-on video was shot with the Sony Cybershot RX100 in the MP4 format. And as you can see the quality is superb. A feature that is now found on many smartphones, like the HTC One X, you can capture photos while recording video. This is truly an amazing technology, that I hope is rolled out to many more cameras. On the top of the device you can choose all of your different modes. And you have even more customization when using the camera. On the back you have a high-resolution 3-inch 1,229k dot Xtra Fine LCD display with White Magic pixels. This gives you better clarity and viewing of the image when viewing it from the camera. Overall, I am super impressed with the Sony RX100 Cybershot Camera and I cannot wait to test it out and do a full review. Be sure to check out the hands-on video and gallery below!
