The world of superzooms was literally turned on its head when Sony announced the RX10: an all-in-one camera that features a 70-200mm zoomrange with a constant low aperture of f/2.8. But that’s not all, it also offers a 1-inch, 20.2MP BSI CMOS sensor. So is this the superzoom to beat? We’ll have to get it in our test lab before we can say for sure. For now, take a peak through our sample image gallery and see what you think.
