Sony Cyber Shot 20.2 Mega Pixel Digital Still Camera (DSC-RX100 II)

Captures Beautiful Shots Even In Low Light
Extremely high sensitivity and remarkably low noise are achieved thanks to Sony’s massive new 20.2-megapixel Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. Its back illumination technology collects light more efficiently and combines with image processing advances to dramatically reduce noise, so you can shoot amazingly clean, low-noise photos and movies in dimly-lit environments at high-sensitivity settings.

Sophisticated, Ultra-bright Lens Technology 
Legendary Carl Zeiss® optics and unrivalled Sony imaging technology merge in a compact, high-performance lens that offers supremely accurate performance, powerful 3.6x (28-100 mm at 35 mm equivalent) optical zoom capabilities and an enormous F1.8 aperture with almost perfectly round seven-blade diaphragm for beautiful background defocusing.

Expand Your Shooting Options
A Multi Interface Shoe lets you attach a wide range of accessories for shooting photos and movies. These include an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash unit and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal.

View Every Scene Clearly On The Tiltable LCD Screen
The 3.0-type, 1229k-dot Xtra Fine monitor displays scenes extra clearly, even in bright sunlight. It can be tilted up to 45° downward to shoot over crowds or up to 84° upward to capture pets eye to eye. You’ll enjoy clear, true-to-life reproduction thanks to WhiteMagic™ wizardry, which combines white and RGB pixels to boost brightness and visibility. Other technologies improve contrast, deepen blacks and reduce surface reflections. Brightness adjusts automatically to enhance viewing.

Instantly Connect To Smartphones And Tablets
Simply touch your Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera to instantly create a connection. No setup is required beyond downloading the free PlayMemories Mobile™ app to your device. This convenient feature is made possible by NFC™ (Near Field Communication), which is available for the first time with One-touch remote on a Sony digital camera. Once connected, you can remotely control the camera’s shutter release from your mobile device and instantly receive the captured image via Wi-Fi, then upload the transferred images straightaway to your favourite Social Networking site.

Effortlessly Adjust Camera Settings
Simply rotate the control ring around the lens to adjust camera settings with ease. It turns smoothly with clear feedback on the LCD screen to provide precise, intuitive adjustment that's usually reserved for SLR cameras. The RX100 II also has a Step Zoom feature, enabling you to swiftly select any of five commonly used focal lengths (28, 35, 50, 70 or 100mm) by simply turning the control ring with your finger.
