Sony Cyber-Shot RX1
Sony Cyber-Shot RX1 Pop Photo

Our friends over at Popular Photography focused the full brunt of their expertise on Sony's 24.3MP Cyber-shot RX1, the world's first full-frame digital compact--basically, it's a DSLR the size of a compact (with a price higher than either). With a full-frame CMOS sensor, high pixel count and fast purpose-built lens, it impressed in the lab with extremely high overall image quality. It can also capture 14-bit RAW images, giving you more flexibility to control highlights and shadows. It's definitely one of the most exciting dream-cameras we've seen recently--head over to Pop Photo to read more about it.
