According to latest news roaming over the web Sony will soon Buy Toshiba image sensor business and it will also become a part of recently borned Sony Semiconductor Solutions. Right now Sony produces 40% of the worldwide sensors, after the acquisition of Toshiba image sensor business Sony will produces more than 50% of the worldwide sensor production.
Reuters Says:
“Toshiba Corp is nearing a deal to sell its image sensor business to Sony Corp as part of a restructuring plan laid out by Chief Executive Masashi Muromachi earlier this year, the Nikkei reported on Friday.”

Sensor:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with 42MP resolution which more than its predecessor DSC-RXIR.
Not only resolution the new sensor uses BSI / back-illuminated sensor, with the help of BSI tech the camera will feature improve low-light sensitivity.
Due to its advanced image processor Bionz X, it maintains exceptional noise control under normal range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expandable upto 50 – 1024002. The Bionz X helps the users to capture 42MP files @5fps whether the DSC-RXIR was limited to 24.3MP files @5fps.
Low Pass Filter:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has the world’s first Optical Variable Low Pass Filter, which supports the reduction of moiré caused by its high ISO. Due to its implementation, the users can manually balance the amount of filtration they need in the image.
Whereas RXIR has no optical low pass filter.
AF System:- Sony DSC-RXIR II sensor has 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points which covers about 45% of the compositional area; by using the A7R II sensor it automatically gained the title of the world’s widest AF coverage on a compact full-frame sensor camera. While RXIR has 25 contrast sensors, which is very far behind of RXIR II.
RXIR II has 399 phase AF points is further fine-tuned its 25 contrast AF points, results upto 30% faster speed compare to its predecessor RXI R. Hence RXIR II can track the subject in full frame faster, sharper and with accuracy compare to RXI R.
ISO:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has standard range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expandable upto 50 – 102400 while RXIR standard ISO allows you to set ISO between 100-25600 and the Expandable ISO range gives you ability to push your base ISO to 50. Hence the users get one more better to choose the Sony DSC-RXIR II over the RX1R.
Verdict: The specification of the recently announced Sony RX1R II is far better than of the old Sony RX1 R camera, the new camera features better sensor with hybrid AF system and BSI technology that will give you more details / ISO range while shooting in low light condition.
The other major advantage is introduction of high quality OLED will help you in shooting in harsh sunlight.

The new RX1R II camera features a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with 42 MP supported by BIONZ X processor, Take a look inside what’s new in the recently announced RX1R II fullframe compact camera.
Improvement in ISO Range – Sony not only increased the resolution of the camera it also increased its ISO range. The RX1R was limited to 25600 on the other hand the RX1R II ISO is expandable upto 102400.
Introduction of BSI – The back-illuminated technology of this camera increases the transmission speed by 3.5 times compare to its predecessor RXIR , which is definitely a key factor of this latest design.
The Sony RX1R II uses world’s first variable optical low-pass filter that allow users to select the amount of filtration they need. So now you don’t need a separate camera, the RX1R II will give enormous amount of details whenever you want.
 Magnesium alloy body Due to its advanced images processor Bionz X, it maintains the superior level of image resolution along with better low light performance to achieve superior levels of image resolution along with normal range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expandable upto 50 – 1024002.
The camera features newly developed motion-detection / tracking algorithm which supports it to better tracking the action subjects upto 5 fps continuous shooting with AF tracking.
In addition to all these achievements, the camera RX1R II features a pop-up 0.39″ 2.36M-dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder EVF , which includes ZEISS T* Coating and four glass elements including two aspherical lenses . Hence the combination of these elements allows the viewfinder to show real-life images with rich and improved contrast with 100% frame coverage and a 0.74x magnification.
 Sony has implemented the advanced XAVC S movie recording format which makes the users to record Full HD 1080p video at 50 Mbps at frame rates up to 60 fps and also it makes the camera to capture HD 720p video at up to 120 fps for slow motion images. The presence of its advanced sensor and processor reduces the noise during the delivery of detailed movies.
Hence it is definitely a unique feature which the photographers desired from long time and surely it allows them to achieve the ultimate result with full satisfaction. It also features low -pass filter bracketing which is used to compare the effects of different settings.

One of our readers when asked Sony UK representatives that when the next version of Sony Fullframe A-mount coming, they replied “We have No Fullframe A-Mount Planned” take a look at the screen grab of the chat
 Sony A77 II, may be the last camera built with SLT/A-mount, which was announced in May 2014. After A77 II, Sony brought one after one cameras but these all were mirrorless.
Sony A99 II update is due and users are waiting it for a long time. We do have lots of rumors related to A99 II but no confirmed information from Sony.
Few days ago we have written a post that Sony ignoring it’s Fullframe A-Mount camera and not only that in a recent email we have also received Sony is also not putting its attention towards its APS-C line of cameras.
Thanks Matthew for the alert

 Sony announced a new edition of RX1R fullframe compact camera that features same Sony A7R II 42 MP hybrid CMOS AF sensor with 399 Active Phase AF points. With the introduction of Hybrid AF CMOS sensor the AF speed of the camera increased upto 30% over the RX1R. Now the camera supports 5FPS shooting with continuous AF tracking.
The Sony RX1R II camera is world’s first camera with optical variable low-pass filter that can be set to off, based on the user and situation demand.
The recently announced camera features same Macro switch ring like RX1 that toggles macro mode on and off, the camera can captures subjects as close as 14cm.
However despite of having Same sensor as of Sony A7R II camera Sony RX1 R II is unable to capture 4K video like the A7R II due to its manufacture limitations.
on the rear side of the camera we have a bright 3″ 1.2M-dot tilting LCD, which tilts up by 109 degrees and we also have a retractable 2.4M-dot XGA OLED viewfinder that helps you a lot while shooting your compositions during sunlight.
However Soy reserved Image stabilization and 4K feature for third genartion of RX1 series camera, we will sure see all these feature in upcoming version of RX1R III camera. Wi-Fi and NFC are built in, allowing remote shooting from a smartphone.
