  • Key Specs
    • Image Sensor Size: APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm)
    • Effective Pixels: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
  • General
    • Brand: Sony
    • Model Number: DSCRX10/B
    • Product Name: Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 20.2-Megapixel Digital Camera
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera with Lens
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Sensor Size: APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 5472 x 3080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Digital Zoom: 33x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): MPEG-4, AVCHD, JPEG, RAW (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
    • Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): true (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: Program auto: 1 - 1/32,005 sec.; Aperture priority: 8 - 1/32,005 sec.; Shutter priority: 30 - 1/32,005 sec.; Manual exposure: 30 - 1/3200 sec. x 4, bulb; iAuto: 4 - 1/32,005 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Minimum Aperture: f/2.8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
    • Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
    • Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Shooting Modes: Portrait, antimotion blur, sports action, macro, landscape, sunset, night scene, handheld twilight and night portrait (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: true
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, daylight, shade, cloudy, incandescent, fluorescent (warm white, cool white, day white, daylight), flash, C. temperature, filter, custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Lens
    • Lens Type: Standard Zoom
    • Minimum Focal Length: 8.8 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
    • Maximum Focal Length: 73.3 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
    • Lens Series: Sony E (The product group that the lens belongs to, based on similar shared features.)
    • Lens Model Number: Built-in
  • Flash
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
  • Video
    • Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

Q: Can I get bright, clear and crisp pictures of a water polo match in an INDOOR (darker setting) pool?

A: Hi photomom, yes, you can. You can make use of the more advanced drive modes (P, A, S, M) to change the exposure settings of the camera depending on your preferences. Thanks_Mitch

Q: Can this camera record continuosy for 2 hrs if I have a memory card of 128GB . Will the battery support for 2 hrs?

A: Hi, Laki! Continuous shooting is possible for approximately 29 minutes at one time at the product's default settings and when the temperature is approximately 25°C (77°F). ~Ralph

Q: what the max on zoom

A: Hi the RX10 does offer 8.33x optical zoom range with its built in lens which is equivalent of 24-200mm (35mm full frame). So the max zoom range of RX10 would be at 200mm.

Q: I purchased a sony a6000. I am having trouble understanding the set up / connecting to iphone....etc... Will the cyber shot dsc-rx10 be as difficult to operate as the a6000? Will the photo quality be as goood? What is the zoom on this camera?

A: The photo quality will be similar but the a6000 will have higher megapixels (24mp vs 20mp) and higher ISO sensitivity (25600 vs 12800) for low light scenes. The zoom on the DSC-RX10 will be 24-200mm (35MM FORMAT EQUIVALENT). The advantage for choosing RX10 over a6000 will be built-in image stabilization and weather sealing for shooting under extreme conditions. You will find this help guide link below useful for setting up your a6000 to connect to your iPhone.

Q: Does this camera have date stamp? Will the date be written on the front of the photos? Also, does this camera have auto flash where the flash pops up as needed and not manually pushed for it to pop up? My Sony DSC-H1 had these options and I liked them.

A: Hi! You can print images with the date superimposed if the printer or the software can recognize Exif information. you need to press the (Flash pop-up) button to pop up the flash. -Anthony

Q: Does this camera have trimming option? Can this camera trim within the camera without having to use computer software to crop/trim photos? My old Sony DSC-H1 was able to trim in camera, can this camera do that?

A: Hi! The Sony DSCRX10 camera has an "Auto Object Framing" feature. Please see this link for more details: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/dvimag/DSCRX10_guide/en/contents/TP0000226622.html. -Anthony

Q: Can I use this camera to take jewelry photos? How the result. Or you have other camera that can do this under $800.00. Thanks.

A: Hi. jewelrylover, yes, you can. It has a large 20.2 megapixel 1.0 inch Exmor R CMOS sensor that works together with a speedy BIONZ X image processor to capture bright, clear photos with reduced noise.Dave
