★★★★☆ 4.3 (50)

The stacked 20.1MP Exmor RS CMOS sensor with on-chip DRAM and BIONZ X processor enables 24 fps continuous shooting, 0.05-second autofocus, and 960fps slow-motion capture. A 3-inch rotating Xtra Fine LCD with touch focus pairs with a 272g body for convenient selfie framing and flexible composition. Best for casual shooters and vloggers who need a pocketable travel camera that records 4K HDR video without interchangeable lens complexity.
