Nuked Sony Alpha just tweeted out a teaser for a camera announcement coming on May 26th. All Sony will say is that it’s a’new compact camera’.
The camera will have an articulating screen for attaching a mic or other accessories. It will have a big red button for recording videos instead of the itsy one on the RX100.
Sony’s autofocus is a highly-loved eye-based autofocus. When you ca n’t directly control the camera (because you’re shooting yourself).
The RX100 VII is a compact point-and-shoot that’s actually remarkably powerful. The addition of a full microphone jack made it very compelling for vloggers.
Sony switched out the 28-70 zoom lens from earlier RX100 models for a 24-200 zoom. The widest lens went from f/1.8 to f/2.8.
I’ve been attaching third-party grips to my RX100 cameras. They’re so small and slippery, so that’ll be helpful, too.
