About this model
The Sony RX100 VII is the flagship of Sony's RX100 series of premium compact cameras. Its 20.1-megapixel 1-inch stacked Exmor RS sensor is far larger than a phone's, giving cleaner low-light images and real background blur, while the built-in ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-200mm zoom covers wide-angle to telephoto without changing lenses. A pop-up OLED viewfinder makes framing easy in bright sun, the tilting screen suits vlogging and low angles, and the fast autofocus with real-time Eye AF tracks people and animals reliably. It records 4K video and high-frame-rate slow motion, making it a genuinely pocketable all-rounder for travel, family and everyday photography.
