ABOUT THE CAMERA:

The Sony RX100 VI Camera is arguably the cream of the crop for compact cameras currently on the market. It features a broad zoom range with lightning fast auto-focus, and is a great all-around camera for both topside and underwater. Improvements from the previous RX100 V camera include a longer zoom - up to 200mm, an improved processor, and better low light performance, and improved image stabilization - up to 4 stops of control. Improved autofocus offers 315 points of control using both phase and contrast detection for extremly fast focusing. Focus tracking and continuous auto focus shooting has also been optimized, so you will never miss that crucial moment. Although the Sony RX100 VI's enhanced zoom makes it perfect for macro and supermacro photography, it's important to note that seperate ports will be needed for wide angle and macro wet lenses due to the expanded lens lenght. If you wish to use macro and wide wet lenses on the same dive with a singular port, be sure to check out the Sony RX100 VA and underwater housing options.
