Sony Cyber-SHOT DSC-RX10 II

Product Information

According to CIPA standards, you can expect to get about 290 images using the EVF or 440 shots if you primarily opt for the LCD for framing. The actual number of images you get will vary with how you use the camera—you'll get more if you enable burst capture. The other issue is depth of field. The need to stop down as you zoom in also reduces the ability to achieve a shallow depth of field. So being able to keep the lens aperture open to f2.8 all the way to the the RX10 II’s maximum 200mm equivalent focal length allows you to get better results in low light as well as better isolating your subject with a shallow depth of field.

Like the previous camera, the standard sensitivity range is from ISO 100-12,800,
but the expanded range is now lowered from ISO 80 to ISO 64. The lens remains the same as on the RX10, with a Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 8.8-73.3mm f/2.8, which is equivalent to a 24-200mm lens on a 35mm full-frame camera.

In general, 'Slower' is two stops under one over the focal length, 'Slow' is one stopunder,'Standard' is one over the focal length, and 'Fast' and 'Faster' are one and two stops over the focal length, respectively. And because the a7R II triesto maintain a minimum shutter speed of 1/60 sec, regardless of focal length, 1/15 sec is the slowest that the 'Slower' option will allow. Image Stabilization The range of a super-zoom’s lens is clearly one of its most important features and in this respect the Sony RX10 II’s 8.3x 24-200mm equivalent range isn’t particularly impressive when compared with the 24x Lumix FZ330 / FZ300. There’s no getting around this, if you want a lens that will get you close in to distant action, the FZ330 / FZ300 is a better choice, though even its 600mm maximum telephoto may not be long enough for some sports and wildlife subjects. But for videographers, the FZ2500 with its fully-articulating touchscreen, built-in variable ND filter and similar zoom range might make it the more sensible choice, especially given its lower price point (though we found its lens performance inferior to its Sony counterparts). You don't get the cool, super-high-speed frame rate options offered by the Sony cameras, but 1080/120p is not too shabby. Availability If Face Detection is enabled, it’ll over-ride any of the area options if a human face is detected. If you’ve pre-registered specific faces with the camera, it’ll also give them priority over others – handy at an event like a wedding where you can prioritise the bride and groom in a group shot. There’s also optional smile detection which will trigger the shutter automatically when the mouth on the detected face reaches a preset level of happiness or toothiness.

The RX10 II inherits the built-in ND filter of the Mark I which reduces the amount of light by three stops. This is useful for deploying large apertures in daylight conditions whether you’re shooting stills or filming video; it’s especially useful for video as you’re normally using fairly slow shutter speeds which should be no faster than double your frame rate for the best-looking motion. ND filters also let you extend exposures in dimmer conditions to deliberately blur motion, such as clouds or water during dawn or dusk. i have met many amateurs with much better knowledge AS WELL AS more experience than i have in photography and related fields! so, is there anything wrong with being an amateur?Above: Panasonic Lumix FZ330 / FZ300 Aperture priority 1/60, f2.8, 400 ISO, 36mm (200mm equivalent) Physically, very little has changed between the RX10 and RX10 Mark II, with the Mark II featuring an updated mode dial, with one custom mode (instead of two), and the addition of a "HFR" mode, which stands for High Frame Rate (Video). The delete button is now customisable as the second custom button (C2), and the top custom button is now labelled as C1. The second ring can be used to extend the zoom lens (alternatively you can use the zoom switch around the shutter release), or for adjusting focus when using Manual Focus. The top left of the camera features the mode dial, and the camera even features a sensor plane marking so you know where the sensor sits in the camera. The Sony multi-interface hotshoe means the camera is compatible with a number of Sony accessories. Our resolution tests are performed at the lowest ISO setting. It's also important to look at how a sensor performs at the higher-sensitivity settings used in dim light. The FZ1000 II is on even footing with most of its competition in this regard—the 1-inch 20MP BSI CMOS sensor inside is the same Sony-made chip used by its rivals.

New to the RX10 II and RX100 IV cameras is HFR, High Frame Rate, movies. Since the options on offer are more complex than a single slow motion mode, I’ve decided to cover it in a separate section here. The eye-level EVF is excellent. It's an OLED design, with optics that give it a large, 0.74x magnification rating—nearly as big as you'll find on many full-frame mirrorless cameras. There's plenty of detail thanks to a 2,359k-dot design, as well as plenty of eye relief, so you can see the entire view even if you wear eyeglasses. It's right up there with the best you'll find in this class of camera. The FZ1000 II feels quite solid in the hand, but does utilize a lot of plastic in its construction. The lens optics are housed in a metal barrel, which gives the camera a slightly more premium feel, but it's not on the same level as Sony's RX10 series, all of which feature magnesium bodies and weather protection. You can step up to the RX10 III and enjoy a longer zoom range, or, if you don't want to spend too much more, you can look at the RX10 II, which has a shorter 24-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens. Real Controls

Continuous Shooting

So while still image quality and video image quality have remained the same between the RX10 Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV, the autofocus system is where Sony have introduced new tech and significant improvements. en 2020 on n'a toujours pas de bouchon d'objectif avec lien pour le tenir solidaire de l'appareil et éviter les pertes !!!! The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II is a high-end bridge camera with an 8.3x / 24-200mm zoom, constant f2.8 aperture and a 20 Megapixel sensor that’s larger than those in most rival cameras. Announced in June 2015, it’s the successor to the original RX10 which delighted video enthusiasts with its movie capabilities. Again, the nearest rivals for the Sony RX10 IV’s feature set and performance are its similarly specified predecessors, with the Sony RX10 III being the closest by virtue of it also featuring a 25x optical zoom, which was the biggest step up from the 8.3x optical zoom RX10 and RX10 II models, with the series originating in 2013.
