Camera Overview — Sony DSC-RX1R

The Sony Cyber-shot RX1R is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 24MP full-frame 35mm sensor and powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. For a camera in this form factor, a full-frame sensor is a genuinely rare proposition, and the RX1R makes the most of it with an ISO range spanning 100 to 25600, giving photographers meaningful flexibility across a wide range of lighting conditions. The body itself is constructed from magnesium alloy and aluminum, measuring 113 x 65 x 70 mm and weighing 482g — compact by full-frame standards, though not featherlight.

Autofocus relies on a contrast-detection system with 25 focus points, handling the majority of still shooting scenarios, though it lacks subject tracking and eye tracking. The 3.0-inch TFT LCD fixed display resolves 1,229,000 dots, and while there is no built-in viewfinder, an optional electronic or optical viewfinder can be attached via the Multi Interface Shoe. Video capability tops out at 1080p with frame rate options of 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps at 8-bit color depth.

There is no built-in flash, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth, keeping the feature set focused rather than sprawling. Storage options include SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. A 3.5mm microphone jack and Micro HDMI output round out the connectivity.

Battery life is rated at up to 220 shots per charge using the NP-BX1.

Key Features — Sony DSC-RX1R

24MP Full-Frame Sensor: A 35mm full-frame sensor in a compact point-and-shoot body delivers image quality and depth-of-field rendering typically reserved for much larger cameras.

Fixed Zeiss 35mm f/2 Lens: The permanently attached Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 lens offers a classic focal length with strong optical performance and minimal distortion.

AA Filter-Free Design: The RX1R removes the optical low-pass filter found on the standard RX1, allowing for maximum sharpness and fine detail resolution from the 24MP sensor.

ISO 100–25600 Range: A broad native ISO range gives photographers meaningful flexibility when shooting in low light without changing lenses or bodies.

Magnesium Alloy & Aluminum Body: Premium metal construction keeps the camera compact at 113 x 65 x 70 mm while providing a solid, durable feel in hand.

Multi Interface Hot Shoe: Supports optional accessory viewfinders — both electronic and optical — as well as external flash units, expanding the camera's shooting versatility.

Description — Sony DSC-RX1R

The Sony Cyber-shot RX1R pairs a 24MP full-frame 35mm sensor with Sony's BIONZ image processor inside a body machined from magnesium alloy and aluminum, measuring 113 x 65 x 70 mm and weighing 482g. It is a point-and-shoot camera in form factor, but the sensor size puts it in a very different performance category. The ISO range runs from 100 to 25600, and the camera supports a 5fps burst mode for capturing fast-moving moments.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system across 25 points, though subject tracking and eye tracking are not available. The rear 3.0-inch fixed TFT LCD resolves 1,229,000 dots and is non-touch. No viewfinder is built in, but the Multi Interface Shoe accepts optional electronic or optical viewfinder accessories.

Video records at up to 1080p at 60fps in 8-bit, with a 3.5mm microphone jack and Micro HDMI output for monitoring. Color profiles available for both stills and video include Standard, Vivid, Neutral, Portrait, Landscape, and B&W, with stills also supporting sRGB and Adobe RGB. Storage is handled by SD, SDHC, SDXC, or Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.

The NP-BX1 battery is rated for up to 220 shots per charge. There is no built-in flash, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth.
