Sony RX1R, like its predecessor, received a full-frame 24.3-megapixel matrix, and the rest of the specs are the same with the RX1. The only difference is the lack of an optical low-pass filter.

In addition, the camera is equipped with a non-replaceable Carl Zeiss lens with a focal length of 37 mm and a maximum aperture of F / 2.
This camera will also appear in July and will cost $ 2,800.
