Leaked Sony RX1 Fits a DSLR in Your PocketImages and specs of a new Sony full frame compact camera have leaked over the weekend. The alleged new camera, called RX1, appears to squeeze DSLR-like specs right into your pocket—for a purported $2,800.

PhotoPrice reports that the camera looks to pack a Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 lens and a 24-megapixel full frame sensor into its tiny frame. Elsewhere, it also claims it will feature 14-bit RAW, an ISO range of 100-25,600, 5fps continuous shooting, HD video recording, a magnesium body, a 3-inch LCD screen, and the option of optical and electronic external viewfinders.

If—and it's some if—those specs are all accurate, the camera sure means business. Those specs would put this compact toe-to-toe with plenty of DSLRs on the market, in a much more compact form factor. If the leaks are true, Sony's about to shake up the world of digital photography. [PhotoPrice via PetaPixel]
