Sony RX0: Ultra-compact shockproof waterproof digital 4k camera
Borrowing from the RX series in terms of tech and quality, the RX0 comes in a uniquely solid, rigid, compact body. Along with the Exmor RS™ CMOS sensor and BIONZ X™ image processor, this camera's robust quality and unobtrusive, go-anywhere design ensure that you'll be ready to shoot with more creative freedom in all kinds of scenarios.
Sony's wireless radio commander, the FA-WRC1M can be used to trigger up to fifteen12 RX0's simultaneously, while Sony's PlayMemories™ Mobile13 app allows up to five RX0 models to be connected and controlled wirelessly from any paired device. A wireless multi-camera shooting solution capable of connecting additional RX0 units when an access point is used is currently under development with a target release date of January 2018 via firmware update. For users looking for a more reliable wired connection, a camera control box is being developed and will also be released in January 2018.
And now for the numbers and features, it has a 1.0-type stacked 15.3 MP Exmor RS CMOS image sensor, BIONZ X™ processor and a wide-angle ZEISS® Tessar T* 24mm F4 fixed lens to deliver high resolution and less distortion results for both RAW and JPEG stills and across all supported video formats. It is equipped with an Anti-Distortion Shutter that can shoot as fast as 1/32000 second, as well maximum burst shooting capability at up to 16 fps, ensuring that even fast moving objects are beautifully and accurately rendered. Its small size also makes it an ideal choice for casual shooting, street and travel photography and any place you can't fit a bigger-sized camera
What I like about it is the ruggedness with a super duralumin chassis enhances the reliability of the RX0, especially under tough conditions. The camera underwent rigorous, repeated testing to ensure that its superior performance was consistent, especially when shooting on land, sea and air (MIL-STD-810G C1 Method. It measures 2.38×1.63×1.19″ (61×40.6×30.5mm) and weighs just 3.9 oz (110.6 g) and is waterproof (33ft/10m), shockproof (from drops of 6.5ft/2m), and crushproof up to 200kg/440lb/2000N (based on Sony tests).
For video duty, the RX0 includes a super slow motion capture8 at up to 960 frames per second, 4K clean HDMI output to an external recorder as well as MF assist and Peaking to adjust focus to exact preferences of the creator, as well as Preset Focus options which enhance control. The camera also offers Picture Profile options and S-Log2, as well Time Code / User Bit features, which are extremely useful for multi-camera shoots.
A host of new accessories are available that support new and different ways of shooting. These include the VCT-CGR1 Cage for increased system flexibility, the MPK-HSR1 Housing, enabling the RX0 to be taken down to depths of up to 100 meters underwater15, the CPT-R1 Cable Protector, VF-SPR1 Spare Lens Protector, VFA-305R1 Filter Adaptor Kit which includes filter adaptor, lens hood and MC protector, plus the NP-BJ1 Rechargeable Battery Pack and ACC-TRDCJ Accessory Kit.
