Performs in any situation

Leave the DSLR at home. The compact RX10 delivers every time. It has a large 20.2MP 1.0 type back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS sensor and class-leading Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture and 24–200mm zoom range. Each click ensures clarity, detail and beauty.

Versatile shooting

Pin-sharp clarity or beautiful bokeh – the RX10 has it covered. A Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with a constant max f/2.8 aperture and 24–200mm zoom range ensures natural-looking results in every shot. T* coating reduces ghosting and flare, so you get the exact picture you want.

Detail that comes to life

The 20.2MP 1.0 type back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS delivers the same detail-packed results as the renowned RX100 II. Meanwhile, the new BIONZ X image processor cuts noise levels at precise points for high-resolution images with faithful textures.

Capture the action before it’s gone

An unforgettable moment can be brief – don’t miss it. The built-in Direct Drive SSM boosts focusing speed at telephoto range, stopping the lens precisely where you want. Lock-on autofocus combines with the new, speedy BIONZ X processor to capture fast action.

Share results instantly with Wi-Fi & NFC

Go anywhere, share anytime. Simply touch the camera against an NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet to activate apps or share photos or movies – no extra cables, no complicated connections. Use built-in Wi-Fi to upload to social networks or connect to a PC, TV and more.

Take control and get creative

Everything you need’s at your fingertips. The smooth manual ring surrounding the lens lets you fine-tune zoom and focus. A few clicks of the aperture ring adjusts the exposure. Difficult shots become easier – a light, strong magnesium alloy body shrugs off dust and drops of water.

Shoot super-clear 50/60p Full HD AVCHD movies

Capture smooth Full HD AVCHD movies at the touch of a button. Adjust focus and exposure while filming at a high frame rate of 50/60p. A sensitive 1.0-type back-illuminated 20.2MP Exmor R® CMOS sensor works with the new BIONZ X processor to capture your videos in sharp detail with minimum noise – even in dark scenes.
