![]() ![]() In addition they don’t scream “expensive equipment here”. They are tough, protect my gear well without being heavy and clunky like pelicases and other hard shell cases. So many applications for a camera like this. I can see myself using this as a time lapse camera or in a VR rig. It’s still very small and very compact, it’s also waterproof and has a high degree of shock proofing. Want to shoot slow-mo? No problem, the maximum frame rate is 960fps (although I suspect that the image quality drops at the higher frame rates). It’s a camera you can control manually and it even has a special high speed shutter mode for all but eliminating rolling shutter artefacts. I wish I had some of these for the HDR shoots I did at the beginning of the year. It can shoot in 4K, it can even record using S-Log2 to capture a greater dynamic range so it may turn out to be a great mini-cam for HDR productions (although how big that dynamic range is is not clear at this time). It has 24mm f4 lens so it’s less wide and has a shallower DoF. ![]() It has a 1.0″ type sensor, huge compared to most other minicams. ![]() The RX0 shares a lot of features with the well regarded RX series of compact stills cameras. Talking of control most mini-cams have very, very little in the way of manual control as they don’t have adjustable apertures and as a result rely entirely on variable gain and shutter speeds to control the exposure.Įnter the RX0. In addition it’s hard to be creative when you have no focus or depth of field control. Sometimes you want a bit of selective focus. Sometimes you don’t want an ultra wide fisheye view of the world, sometimes you want to get in a bit closer. But for many applications that’s not what you always want. However those small sensors when combined with an ultra wide angle lens eliminates the need to focus as the depth of field is vast. This presents a problem as they tend not to be very light sensitive. Most gopro type cameras use tiny sensors packed with pixels. I have not played with one yet, so I can only base my comments on the specs, but the specs are both impressive and exciting. Sony have just released a rather exciting looking new type of mini-cam, the RX0. ![]()
