Adds wi-fi, hot shoe, new sensor, raises min ISO to 160

Sony RX-100 II Review, Specs & Photos

Sony RX-100M2 Review & Specs
Scott Gietler
Adds wi-fi, hot shoe, new sensor, raises min ISO to 160

Sony has announced the new Sony RX-100M2 compact camera. This camera does not replace the "king of the hill" RX-100, but simply adds to the lineup.

I think it is fair to say that the RX-100 is one of most popular compact cameras ever for underwater photographers. It's large sensor and small, truly pocketable size has proved very popular, to say the least.

 

Let's see what's new in the Sony RX-100M2:

  • Hot shoe for external flash or EVF

  • Tilt LCD display
