“Without photography the moment is lost forever, as if it had never existed,” photographer Richard Avedon, who became famous with his photographs of celeb-rities like Andy Warhol, once described his passion. The design of the DSC-RX1RM2 aims at bringing back cameras to their original meaning. It was designed for photography enthusiasts who understand their true essence – to take pictures easily and efficiently. This highly advanced digital camera with palm-sized magnesium body rests well balanced in the hand of the user. The 42-megapixel 35mm full-frame back-illuminated image sensor and the Zeiss Zonar 35mm F2 large-aperture prime lens were precisely integrated in-to the camera’s body. Thus equipped, the camera provides optimal imaging performance and high-quality images. It features an ergonomic design and is easy to operate, not least thanks to its clear control layout. Its innovative functionality thus allows for self-explanatory and reliable imaging on a high level. Equipped with a compact pop-up viewfinder, it facilitates authentic framing.
