The Sony RX is a range of high-end cameras created by Sony starting in 2012.
Description
All units are equipped with Carl Zeiss lenses. The DSC-RX100 was designated one of 25 best inventions of 2012 by Time.[1]
1 Series
The DSC-RX1 was released in late 2012, it is an expert compact with a sensor full size 24 megapixel (notably used by the Sony α99), the sensitivity ranges from 100 to 25600 ISO. The target has a zoom 35 mm and aperture f / 2. The device has a screen of 7.5 cm diagonal and a resolution of 1229000 point.[2]
RX1R
Released in the summer of 2013, it is a derivative of DSC-RX1 without a low pass filter, as a full hybrid brand format, the Sony α7R.[3]
RX1 II
Scheduled for 2015, this future model should be the first full-frame camera to incorporate a curved sensor. It should receive a new target 35 mm with a larger aperture to f/1.8. These two improvements should allow the device to offer better performance in low light and to have made more uniform throughout the image.[4]
10 Series
The DSC-RX10 was released in late 2013, it is a bridge expert equipped with a 1" sensor (four times larger than those of conventional bridges) 20 megapixels, the sensitivity extends from 125 to 12800. (expandable to ISO 74) The target has an equivalent focal range 24–200 mm (zoom 8.3x) and an aperture constant f/2.8. The device has a screen of 7.5 cm of diagonal and a resolution of 1228800 point.[5]
The DSC-RX10 II is marketed in July 2015, it boasts a new faster sensor generation (Exmor RS) and the video 4K. The autofocus progresses with 0.9 seconds on a moving object. The maximum shutter speed is 1/32000 seconds, the burst passes 16 i/s.[6]
RX10 III
March 2016 Sony introduced the third version of its DSC-RX10 camera, the III. It features a much longer maximum focal length lens (24-600 equiv.), improved image stabilization and new buttons and controls. It loses, however, the built-in ND filter of the RX10 II.
RX10 IV
The RX10 IV was announced in September 2017. It is similar to the RX III but features a new sensor with on-sensor phase detect (for faster and better tracking autofocus) and the ability to shoot 24 frames per second (with autofocus tracking). It loses, however, the PlayMemories App features of the RX10 III.

RX100 II
New version released in the summer of 2013. From an ergonomic point of view, this new model brings an ISO accessory shoe and a tilting screen.[10] The technical developments concerning the sensor becomes backlit. The quality of low light images is thus improved as well as the reactivity (AF). The sensitivity range now extends from 100 to 12800 ISO. The Wi-Fi and NFC are integrated to control the camera with a smartphone through a dedicated application. The dimensions remain the same compared to the RX100, except in thickness where the Mark II takes about three millimeters. Its target price at launch was €750.[10] and RX100 remains in the catalog.

Announced on 15 May 2014 and marketed in the month of July following, this new version offers a wider aperture telephoto, it increases from f/4.9 to f/2.8. The focal range is modified to receive more wide angle, it is equivalent to 24–70 (2.9x zoom). A new version of the microprocessor BIONZ (referred to as "X") more powerful and faster born. The housing incorporates an electronic viewfinder pop-up (a definition identical to that of the Sony α6000), like a flash (the latter taking the place of the ISO label, which disappears ). The sensitivity is further enhanced with a range of from 125 to 25600. The screen offers an expanded orientation with an angle of 180° up and 45° down, in particular to promote selfies.[13] The dimensions remain the same compared to the RX100 II, except thick where the Mark III takes about three millimeters. The RX100 III, sold at 850 €,[14] does not replace the previous RX100 remaining for sale at a reduced price allowing Sony to offer a range of compact cameras experts.[15]
