Sony RX0 II  


The successor to last year’s RX0, the RX0 II is an ultra compact camera with the dimensions of a matchbox but the ability to capture slick snaps, 4K 30p video and 1000fps super slow-mo footage  on account of a 1.0-type stacked 15.3-MP image sensor that comes with their BIONZ X image processor and Exmor RS CMOS image sensor paired up with a Zeiss Tessar T 24mm F4 fixed wide-angle lens as well as in-body electronic stabilisation for judder free stills and footage.

Stills are given particularly special treatment as the RX0 II is capable of 16fps continuous shooting, sports an anti-distortion shutter up to 1/32000 seconds and enhanced algorithms for eye tracking and a ‘soft skin effect’ mode. To frame selfies, the camera has a tilt-up LCD which is rather surprising for something this compact. What seals the deal on top of its compact size and potential image quality is that the RX0 II is continues its predecessor’s sturdiness and it’s waterproof to 10 metres, dustproof, crushproof to 200kg  and shockproof, making it a very handy addition to any vlogger’s ensemble. The RX0 II retails for RM2,799 and will arrive in May. You can also acquire a similarly sized shooting grip for the RX0 II vlogger style grip for RM199 with every purchase of the RX0 II.
