Sony Reveals Pocket-Sized, 20MP Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 Camera with 1 Sensor

Sony has announced its latest digital camera in the Cyber-shot line called the . The new digital camera boasts a Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T fixed lens promising high image quality. The camera can shoot still images and record full HD video while providing a level manual control Sony says is unmatched by any other camera of the size.

The big new feature of the camera is the world's first one-inch type Exmore CMOS sensor with a resolution of 20.2 effective megapixels. The sensor was developed by Sony and has an area that's about four times larger than the 1/2.3-type sensors in traditional point-and-shoot cameras. The larger sensor area allows the camera to capture more light resulting in better image quality and very low noise.

As for the rear-facing camera, Kuo said Apple will likely retain the 8-megapixel camera while improving the aperture range to go up to f/2.2. The iPhone 4S has a maximum aperture of f/2.4. The analyst also predicted that the rear camera on the next iPhone will be noticeable thinner, "making it the most challenging iPhone design yet."According to his analysis, the new iPhone's rear camera will have a CCM of 5.55mm and a lens TTL of 4mm, down from 6mm and 4.8mm on the iPhone 4S. Apple's suppliers will reportedly face "unprecedented challenges" producing the rear camera component because of the changes to the design.
