Sony Announces Hi-Res RX1R

June 28, 2013

sony-dsc-RX1R-640x448SONY IS CALLING its new, top of the line Cyber-shot RX1R โ€˜a revolution in resolutionโ€™.
The camera and its 24.3 megapixels and Carl Zeiss Sonnar T F2 lens will make its retail debut in New Zealand mid-July, and retail for $3999.
This full-frame compact sister to the RX1 โ€˜takes pixel-perfect picture quality to new heightsโ€™, according to Sony, โ€˜the modelโ€™s โ€œRโ€ suffix denoting a further improvement in the cameraโ€™s spectacular resolution.โ€™
Unlike the RX1, the low-pass filter is absent from the RX1R, โ€˜ensuring flawless capture of fine details without any blurring or dispersion.โ€™ While low-pass filters can be handy to suppress unwanted moirรฉ and colour artefacts, the RX1Rโ€™s โ€˜processing functions have been optimized to maintain image sharpness without compromising lens/sensor performance.โ€™
Especially good at landscapes and any finely detailed subjects, the RX1R also boasts TRILUMINOS Colour technology, โ€˜ensuring richer, more natural colours when viewing stills and video on new generation BRAVIA televisions featuring the TRILUMINOS display.โ€™
The RX1R will be available from Sony Stores and selected Sony retailers.
