The annual upgrade of Sony's impressive pocket-size RX100 prosumer compact camera series is here.. Read more at straitstimes.com.
The seventh version - the RX100 VII - has a newly designed 20.1-megapixel 1-inch stacked image sensor with 357 phase-detection auto-focusing points and 425 contrast-detection AF points, up from 315 and 25 points with the VI.
Two new features are Sony's real-time tracking and real-time Eye AF technologies, both of which are great for video recording. A mode dial on the top right lets users change shooting modes quickly, while a rear clickable dial allows fast access to the flash, drive and other settings. To mitigate this, Sony has bundled a shooting kit with the VII for $1,799 , comprising an extra battery, a shooting grip and a V-shaped bracket with a hot shoe and a tripod mount on each of its ends.
Using an SD card with a writing speed of 95MB per second, the VII captured 81 RAW images in 4.3 seconds before the buffer ran out. This is slightly slower than its predecessor which shot 107 RAW images in 4.9 seconds. The photos I took generally have great edge-to-edge sharpness, especially those shot with focal lengths between 24mm to 90mm. Image noise performance is quite good, with no noise artefacts seen until ISO 800 and with significant detail loss and chromatic noise only appearing above ISO 6400.
