Mark from Sony shows us the exploded view of the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 and goes over the sensor, the body build, lens and the stand-out specs that make this camera such a winner for Sony this year. Mark shows us the two eye level viewfinder options for the RX-1, the Carl Zeiss optical viewfinder and the electronic OLED viewfinder. Mark also clues us in on Sony’s new microphone option for the RX-1 that will connect via the camera’s hotshoe.

The all-new Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 Full Frame Compact Digital Camera from Sony is their new lightweight full frame camera with a fixed lens. This large 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor enables DSLR-quality imaging in a point-and-shoot form factor (4.5 x 2.6 x 2.8″ / 11.4 x 6.6 x 7.1 cm). In addition to 24MP JPEG or RAW still images, the RX1 will also shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24 or 60fps. The RX-1 is capable of uncompressed HDMI out at 60i or 60p via the HDMI port and will record to an external video recorder in the codec of your choice.
