Selection reason – Camera Grand Prix 2016 Executive Committee of the comment

While equipped with a back-illuminated full-size image sensors of effective about 42.4 million pixels, it is finished as a very compact and lightweight mirror-less camera. Up to about 4.5 stage of the 5-axis body in the camera shake correction mechanism, the image plane phase difference AF sensor of 399 points, which is arranged at a high density, further such as low vibration shutter of the new development which adopted the brake mechanism, packaging of high-pixel camera evaluation to the point is very high degree of perfection as is concentrated. In addition, while this way practicality is high models, taking advantage of the features flange back is short, by going through the mount adapter, etc. can enjoy the shooting wearing the old lens and third-party lens, of hobby it can be said that the height is also a charm of this camera. The high-resolution still photography course, as can also be high-performance machine 4K video shooting, she showed me the direction of the future of the interchangeable lens single-lens camera. In view of these points, it was determined to “Camera Grand Prix 2016 Award”

Camera Press Club Award – a digital still camera “RX10 II” (DSC-RX10M2), “RX100IV” (DSC-RX100M4)

Two models of “RX100 IV” and “RX10 II” is equipped with the world’s first  2 memory integrated 1.0-inch stacked CMOS image sensor Exmor RS ™ (the Exmore Aruesu). By the anti-distortion shutter that was realized in the high-speed processing performance of the image sensor, high-speed imaging and best 1/32000 seconds with reduced distortion of a moving object, you can still picture taken by even the aperture open in mid-summer of extremely bright scenes, such as under the sun. In addition, super slow-motion capability of up to 960fps (up to 40-fold) to capture the decisive moment  3 and, such as Cyber-shot ®’s first 4K ※ 4 movie recording, is a camera that was realized in a small body of the visual experience of the professional area.
