Sony are still at pains to point out that it's not an action camera per se, and therefore not a direct competitor to the GoPro Hero 7 series, the recently launched DJI Osmo Action, or one of a seemingly endless line of wannabes. The basic premise of the Sony RX0 hasn't changed in this Mark II version. There are also several accessories available, including a Cage (VCT-CGR1), Housing (MPK-HSR1), Filter Adaptor Kit (VFA-305R1) Cable Protector (CPT-R1), additional battery (NP-BJ1) and the new Microphone Jack and Shooting Grip (VCT-SGR1) for vlogging.

The Sony RX0 II is available now priced at around £730 / $700. Otherwise, the RX0 II retains the same core features as its predecessor, namely a massive 1-inch sensor which is around 4x the size of those in other action cameras, thereby promising to deliver much better image quality, 15.3 megapixels, fixed 24mm f/4 lens, 1.5-inch LCD screen, ISO125-12800 (extendable to ISO 80), top shutter speed of 1/32000th sec, 3.5fps continuous shooting, and 240 shot battery life. The updated Mark II RX0 principally adds internal 4K video recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning, in-body electronic stabilisation when shooting video, an LCD screen that can now be tilted up to 180-degrees up and down to 90-degrees, enhanced colour reproduction for human skin, a closer focusing distance of 20cm, and an improved Eye AF mode. As its name suggests, the Sony RX0 II is the second version of the original RX0 action camera that was first released back in 2017.
