This premium lens features newly designed optics including an Advanced Aspherical (AA) glass element, which contributes to the camera's extremely compactdimensions without sacrificing optical performance.
Despite the camera's extraordinarily compactdimensions, the new Cyber-shot RX1 model offers a full range of manual control modes on par with typical high-end full-frame DSLR cameras.
In a day and age when most flagships have 4.65- to 4.8-inch screens (or bigger -- hello, Galaxy Note II), it's refreshing to see a top-tier handset with more compactdimensions.
