Raising the Bar a Full Frame
We've made the impossible possible. Once considered merely a dream is now a reality that can sit in the palm of your hand. Introducing the revolutionary Cyber-shot RX1: The world's first fixed lens digital camera with a full-frame sensor. Take it wherever you go and explore full manual control photography that knows no bounds.

Go Full or Go Home
This is huge. A whole new world of high-quality images are realized through the 35mm full-frame 24.3MP sensor, a normal sensor range of ISO 100–25600, and a sophisticated balance of high resolving power, gradation and low noise—and it's all in the palm of your hand. The BIONZ® image processor enables 5 fps high-speed continuous shooting and 14-bit RAW image data recording.

Full HD 24p Video
It's like a high-end video camera that's as mobile as you. Shoot Full HD 24p/60i/60p video with manual control and audio input, plus creative flexibility while shooting movies and stills. Enable the Program Auto (P), Aperture Priority (A), Shutter Speed Priority (S) or Manual Exposure (M) mode for manual shooting and exposure control, plus clear sound recording via the built-in stereo microphone.

Sized Right
At just about 17 ounces with a compact design that slips in the front of your jeans, the RX1 goes everywhere. So you get all the benefits of a full-frame sensor, plus the portability of a point-and-shoot camera. Talk about the best of both worlds.

Bright f/2.0 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens
This is definitely not your standard point-and-shoot lens. A newly developed large-diameter f/2.0 Carl Zeiss® Sonnar T* lens with 9 aperture blades delivers refined background defocusing and macro capabilities. A premium multi-layered T* coating also dramatically reduces ghost and flare caused by light reflection.

Top 3 Advantages of Full-Frame
Pro-grade Depth Beautifully defocused backgrounds come courtesy of the large, full-frame sensor and a shallow depth of field. Amazing Low-light Shots Preserve the mood of candlelit shots with the sensor's extreme low-light sensitivity—no flash necessary.
A Wider Perspective Take full advantage of your lens's perspective. A full-frame sensor means no limited-view "crop factor."

Amazing Low-Light Performance
Now you can capture the mood of the moment without a flash. The combination of the RX1's large 35mm sensor and bright f/2.0 Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* lens with class-leading image processing and noise reduction deliver outstanding low-light performance to capture the moment as you see it.

Ultra-Fast Focusing Speed
So small, yet so quick. To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera's BIONZ processor, which provides intelligent response data to a new high speed actuator motor in the lens. The result is fast, accurate focusing speeds.

Add on With a Multi-Interface Shoe
The RX1 features a newly-developed multi-interface shoe that dramatically expands the camera's compatibility with a variety of accessories and raises its potential for photo and movie shooting. Available accessories include a powerful external flash unit, electronic viewfinder, optical viewfinder, thumb grip and clip-on LCD monitor.
