With its 28 - 300 mm 10.7 optical zoom, the CX 2 hosts powerful telephoto capabilities in a thin 29.4 mm body. Moreover, still images at maximum pixels (9M) can de shot continuously at high speed: 5 frames / sec. Dynamic range double shot suppresses over and underexposure: two still images are consecutively shot at high speed with different exposure. An image is then recorded that combines the properly exposed portions of each one. A new AUTO-setting lets the camera decide the optimum exposure difference. Despite its slim appearance the CX2's supports an impressive, large high definition 3.0 6,920,000 dot VGA LCD monitor.
