Sony introduces the world’s first compact digital camera with a 35 mm full-frame sensor. With its pro-level image quality, comfortable dimensions, and timeless design the RX1 series presents a compact camera with infinite possibilities.
Whether you’re capturing a fashion shot, friend’s portrait, or anything in between, the RX1 series’ ZEISS® lens and 35mm Full Frame 24MP Exmor™ CMOS sensor ensure each image has razor-sharp details, smooth color gradations, and beautiful bokeh to best highlight your subject.

24MP 35mm full-frame Exmor sensor
Other cameras force you to choose between image quality or portability, but the RX1 gives you both. Its 35mm full-frame 24MP Exmor™ CMOS sensor is the same as what’s used in Sony’s professional-level SLT-A99
Professional ZEISS® lens
Legendary ZEISS® expertise delivers a sophisticated fixed focal-length lens with a bright F2.0 maximum aperture to get everything from candid street shots to studied nature compositions.
Powerful processing engine
Sony’s fast, high-fidelity BIONZ® image processor captures every nuance of the scene even shooting at a rapid 5 fps, while its 14-bit RAW format conversion extends your ability to manipulate the shot later.
Fixed-lens advantage
Since the lens is never removed, the RX1 series always maintains perfect alignment between optical components and the sensor, to capitalize on the lens’s full potential to the very edge of the image.
Exmor™ CMOS full-frame sensor
The larger the sensor, the more information and detail it can capture. Sony’s proprietary full-frame 35mm sensor delivers a quality level never before available in such a compact camera.
Fast processing engine
Sony’s advanced BIONZ® processor works with unparalleled speed and precision: its power allows an outstanding 5 fps continual shooting at full 24MP resolution, to capture key moments in sports, wildlife, and portraiture.

Three advances, one amazing package
Sony engineered the lens, sensor, and processing engine with a precision beyond that achievable with an interchangeable-lens camera. With a fixed lens, these three key elements were fine-tuned to complement each other perfectly for stunning results.
See the light
The sophisticated, large aperture (F/2.0 maximum) lens from Zeiss® is remarkably bright while remaining unusually compact.
Take a shot in the dark
See it all with a OLED (XGA) Tru-Finder™ and a 100% field of view.
Pro-level processing
The ultra-detailed 14-bit RAW output capability gives photographers the precise control necessary for lossless fine-tuning of contrast, exposure, saturation, white balance, and more.
Enjoy more accurate framing and composition with an optical viewfinder.
This OLED electronic viewfinder has approximately 2.3million dots for great resolution and high contrast.
Clip-on LCD monitor lets you see the shot on a big screen, and lets more than one person view it easily.

Add accessories. And inspiration.
One mount, many possibilities
Enhance your RX1 with advanced accessories that attach to its multi interface shoe—a standard mount upgraded by smart data transfer. With the multi interface shoe, you can enjoy extensive data capabilities with Sony add-ons, or use a wide range of third-party accessories as well.
Get greater sharpness and the sensor’s maximum resolution when the standard optical low-pass filter built into the RX1 is removed in the RX1R.

RX1, with optical low-pass filter
RX1R
The RX1R gives you all the same advanced features and technology offered by the RX1, but without the anti-aliasing filter. This lets you utilize the extreme resolution and sharpness the camera is designed to deliver.
RX1
With its built-in optical low-pass (anti-aliasing) filter, the RX1 delivers consistently sharp images by minimizing moiré and color artifacts automatically.
