20.2 megapixel 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor
New BIONZ X™ image processing engine
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200 mm F2.8

See life in a new light

Open your eyes. A bright, large-aperture zoom lens, a big, extra-sensitive image sensor and other brilliant features are ready to fire up your passion to create. With the new RX10 — the compact digital camera that puts boundless picture-taking power in your hands and a fresh new outlook in your sights.

Express your perspective

The impeccable Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens optimises image quality consistently from edge to edge. It provides a large F2.8 maximum aperture throughout an expansive 24-200 mm zoom range, lets you shoot close-ups without switching to macro mode and features an advanced aspherical (AA) lens element that maintains high resolution to the edges of your image.

Focus faster to catch the moment

Quick focusing even at telephoto range

High-speed AF is remarkably smooth thanks to the Direct Drive SSM (Super Sonicwave Motor) with precision-engineered focusing stop positions designed to minimise focusing lens travel distance, which shortens focusing time.

More functions broaden creative boundaries

An abundance of powerful higher-performance functions and options are invaluable for capturing moving images of superior resolution and stunning clarity with minimal noise, even while zooming on the action. Plenty of connections make it easy to create an even more versatile production system by hooking up the latest digital recording, monitoring and processing devices to the camera.

Shoot for more in Full HD
Ensuring professional-calibre sound and more
For clean signal output

Optimising operability with integrity

The RX10 is thoughtfully designed for effortless operation and robust enough for long, rigorous use. Operation is simplified by a new, improved user interface, a lens ring for zooming and focusing, a tiltable LCD that lets you shoot comfortably from various angles, seven customisable buttons and a bright, high-resolution OLED Tru-Finder™ that provides a truer view of every scene.

Connect with the mobile movement

Easier contact with smartphones and tablets

Just download the free PlayMemories Mobile app, then instantly connect via Wi-Fi or NFC (near field communication)* by touching a compatible Android™ smartphone or tablet to the camera. Then, you can remotely control the camera’s shutter release from that other mobile device, instantly receive the image on the device and upload transferred images to an SNS site.

* Requires NFC-compatible Android device with a case that does not prevent connection.
