| Sony has seriously done it again, with today's announcement of the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI, now with an incredible 24-200mm equivalent lens and practically the same form factor as every other model in the compact series. There is still all the magic packed inside that made previous iterations of the RX100 so popular, including UHD 4K video, super-slow-motion recording, speedy autofocus, and a refined set of controls, though now there is quite a bit more that makes this a true next-gen release.
I know, you want to hear all about the lens, but we must talk about what makes this camera so good in the first place: a (relatively) large 20.1MP 1" Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor that deliver stunningly sharp and clean imagery at sensitivities from ISO 80-12800. This will be familiar to those who know the RX100 V, because this has remained largely the same. This combination also enables the Fast Hybrid AF system to lock on in just 0.03 seconds using a 315-point phase-detection system that covers 65% of the image area and can even access the Eye AF function. Put this together with 24 fps continuous shooting with full AE/AF, and you have something that will make full-fledged pro cameras look sluggish.
