The heart of Sony’s flagship CSC, the A7R II, is a 42.4-megapixel, backside-illuminated Exmor R CMOS full-frame sensor, claimed to be the world’s first. Its unique design gives improved light collection efficiency, allowing a top ISO of 25,600, expandable to 102,400, and fast data transmission, about 3.5x faster than the original A7R. The sensor also features 399 phase- detection AF points, giving the widest coverage yet seen on a full-frame sensor and these work with 25 contrast AF points for fast, accurate focusing. 5-axis image stabilisation, 4K video shooting and a XGA OLED Tru-Finder providing a large viewing image are also key selling points. Sony has also upgraded its premium compact range with the launch of the RX100 IV and RX10 II. Both models feature a stacked 1.0 type sensor with a DRAM chip for high-speed processing, enabling features like super slow-motion at 40x slower than normal and prolonged fast continuous shooting, 16fps on the RX100 IV and 14fps on the RX10 II. Prices of these new Sony products were not available at the time of writing. The newA7R II features the world’s first back-illuminated 35mm full-frame sensor
