Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is a truly compact camera that delivers supreme light sensitivity, gorgeous   background defocusing, high image accuracy and SLResque operation which empower me to express myself  in bolder and broader perspective in every shots I have taken( photos shown below).I had the privilege to see and experience the product at the Sony Event invited by Rouge Communications last Thursday.

The theme "Power In Your Pocket" speaks by itself with the first and foremost result proven is the clarity shown here.I'm using the auto-mode function with big sensor and bright lens for better pictures in a pocket-sized body from Sony with world's first 1.0 type20.2 effective megapixel sensor and bright F1.8 lens.  

The enormous 1.0 type Exmor CMOS Sensor captures more light from the scene and reproduces every stunning detail with greater fidelity.Sony's blazing-fast BIONZ imaging engine employs powerful algorithms to transform data captured by the CMOS sensor into sophisticated images with accurate colour, rich tonal gradations and minimal noise.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 capture every detail in virtually any lighting.The background was dark when I took this photo but it achieved amazing clarity in dim lighting with Multi Frame NR.This feature that enables high-sensitivity shooting up to an equivalent of ISO 25600 by seamlessly superimposing six images.

Just like a DSLR camera, there's a choice of auto and manual (MF Assist) modes that magnifies the image to simplify fine adjustments, not forgetting a convenient Peaking function that highlights sharply-focused areas of the image on screen.  

This photo was the last photo taken with my 'Team 3' using the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 where there's not much of effort taken (only auto-mode but the background lightings & scenes were captured perfectly) and time-saving (it only take a few seconds) for a perfect picture.And that's what I meant by 'The Power Your Pocket" by Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 which is available in the market for RM2499.Cool Sony I wish to own now...Haha!
