Sony a6300

Use this resource to

Capture exceptional quality video and still photos.

Features

  • The new 24.2 MP Exmor® CMOS sensor raises the bar of imaging performance. Its copper wiring and enhanced circuitry make it possible to lower the wiring layer and boost light collection efficiency, in order to capture low-noise images with a wide sensitivity range up to ISO 51200. The use of copper raises readout speed as well as the potential of advanced 4K and Full HD 120fps shooting.
  • How do the superior speed, power and efficiency of the BIONZ X™ image processor unleash the potential and sensitivity of the new image sensor? With an algorithm optimized for the new image sensor to provide stills and movies with unrivalled resolution and reproduce greater texture and detail, particularly at mid-to-high ISO settings.
  • With the world’s most (425) focal plane phase-detection AF points helping to provide distinctively wide and dense AF point coverage, the α6300 focuses more accurately, efficiently and reliably on subjects throughout the frame.

Sony RX-100 II

Sony RX-100 II

Use this resource to

  • Capture detail stills/videos

    The 1.0″ type sensor is about 4x larger than most compact cameras.

  • Shoot under many conditions

    Shoot at high ISO – up to ISO 12800 – and capture rich detail in night scenes

  • See more in every scene

    Capture exceptional detail, even indoors and without a flash, with a back-illuminated Exmor R® sensor.

Features

  • Thanks to back-illuminated technology, the RX100 II captures light even more effectively than the renowned RX100. With no wires to block its path, light falls directly onto receptive areas of the sensor. The result is smooth detail even in low light.
  • The wide-aperture F1.8 Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* lens ensures you can frame the entire scene. The sensitive 20.2 MP back-illuminated Exmor R® CMOS sensor captures light exceptionally well, and the powerful BIONZ processor creates superior detail with extremely low noise.
  • The Xtra Fine LCD display is clear, 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.
  • Wi-Fi® connectivity with iOS and Android smartphones for remote camera control and still/video sharing is easy. In addition to Wi-Fi® support for connecting to smartphones, NFC technology (near field communication) provides “One-touch connection” to compatible Android smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required.
  • Simply rotate the control ring around the lens to adjust settings with ease. It turns smoothly with clear feedback on the LCD for precise adjustment just like an SLR camera.
