SONY IS CALLING its new, top of the line Cyber-shot RX1R โa 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 โtakes pixel-perfect picture quality to new heightsโ, according to Sony, โthe modelโs โRโ suffix denoting a further improvement in the cameraโs spectacular resolution.โ
Unlike the RX1, the low-pass filter is absent from the RX1R, โensuring 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 RX1Rโs โprocessing 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, โensuring 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.
