The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 II is a DSLR-styled digital bridge camera announced by Sony on June 10, 2015. Its main improvement over its predecessor, the 2013 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10, is its 2160p 4K video recording ability, as well as added high-framerate with 1080p doubled to 120fps (real-time and retained audio), and high speed video at 240fps, 480fps, and 960fps.

While filming at up to 1080p and up to 60fps, 17-Megapixel still images can be captured. The "dual video recording" mode allows recording into two separate files with different resolution, where one is more "lightweight" [lower-alpha 1] than the other. [1] [2]
