Image on top shows a fake(!) RX100 with hot shoe and Silver variation 🙂

I just got a double hint about a possible new RX200 release:
First Sony Service reported to a SonyUseForum.de user that the RX200 is coming this month!
Second an anonymous source told me that the new RX100 MKII has a new CMOS sensor, Wifi and folding LCD screen.
These are two rumors coming from external and new sources. So take it with a grain of salt.

Sorry Andrea, but Sony Service did not report that; it was the user that made a remark in this regard: “Leider konnte ich mir nicht verkeifen an zu merken, das es die RX-100 fast 10 Monate gibt, aber kein Firmwareupdate, dafür gibt es im Juni eine RX-200”.
Antway, do you have any ‘real’ rumours? Recently, there’s been more advertisement on your site than any real rumours (I don’t count things like ‘next year, it will be all different’). Nothing concrete?
that guy told me he got the info from Sony Service.
Time to buy a RX100!!!
Andrea, is this a user manipulated image? Or is this the RX200?
IT IS NOT THE RX100
THE RX100 HAS NO HOT SHOE!!!
image is fake. I now underlined this in the imge description.
Thank you 😉
I think this is quite match with Sony’s schedule, RX-100 is launched on June 2012, so it is the time for RX-200 to launch
Aps-c sensor and 24mm or lesser wide angle lens hopefully.
Thank you for this rumor anyway! RX100 is 1 y old but they didnt discounted almost at all! But now i can wait for the new model, bye RX100!
touch screen too?
More importantly, is there an RX10 coming? I would love to buy a pocketable APS-C sensor camera like the Nikon Coolpix A or the Ricoh GR. Sadly, neither of those have a really fast lens (f1.8 or at least f2.0 would be nice) and / or Image Stabilization. That almost completely cancels out the advantage of the much larger sensor size (as compared to the RX100) in low light.
I’m hoping the RX10 would have all I want:
– APS-C sensor
– IS
– fast lens (f1.8 please)
– pocketable (wearing fitting jeans, not some baggy American khakis, in those, even the RX1 is pocketable:)
You mean Fuji should take their X-100 and reduce the thickness by 30-40%? Which is the same as saying: take the 23 mm f/2 lens and create a version that is only half as long.
Ok, i think an RX 100 successor is going to happen anyway.
But what about a RX 10?
It’s not an RX200 it’s an RX100 with a letter after it.
It will have an Exmor R sensor, a hot shoe, Wi-Fi and NFC.
Should be coming out with in the next 2 weeks.
The RX100 will still be available and it will just sit side by side
P.S. it’s not the only camera coming out 😉
Yes, I hope you are correct and if so then the RX100x will cost more since it’ll go side by side with the RX100. Is it a $999 camera?
You did say anything about the Lens. Can you give us an update on it?
Thanks!
I have on info on the lens. it will cost just $100 more then the RX100
any info on other releases?
Similar to the RX1
Thanks! $100 more means no new lens 🙁
No faster lens? Really?
f1.8 is fast enough. let’s just hope it’ll b faster across the zoom range then ithe RX100 is when you zoom in.
arguably, my RX100 is my second most important camera (after the one in my phone and way ahead of my FF SLR.) It’s almost always with me. I love it.
So instead of earning $8 million a year, they only earn

most unique provisions each party’s prenuptial attorney ever negotiated over.
