Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 V
The 20 MP camera sensor remains the same, but the image processor is more powerful than previous generations.
Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 V is a compact camera that easily fits in your pocket. It carries a rather high price tag, but Sony still offers good value for money.

My return to Sony Cybershot
Ive had 3-4 Cybershots in the past, and always liked them. Got on the Lumix train, and am quite fond of those but this Cybershot RX-100VA caught my eye and checked most of the right boxes this time.- Image quality Easy navigate menus On-board menu descriptions/interface Easy wi-fi transfers Reputation of the entire RX series
- Battery life No touch screen In-cam battery charging Very minimal included (printed) documentation Should include the optional rubber "grip" which Ive since added
- as standard (come on Sony...seriously
Sony RX100 V Review

- 4K video recording
- Very expensive
- Screen not touch-sensitive
Serious side piece
Personally prefer the five over the six. 1.8 is more important to me than 200mm. For what I want to do with it, quick pictures and video, I can just walk closer if I need the zoom. Speed > zoom imo. The pictures are sharp. The video is impressive. RAW with manual settings capability is important.
A pocket sized powerhouse
I'd been having an argument with myself about buying one of these for many months and, now I have taken the plunge, I couldn't be more happy. It's reasurringly weighty and oozes quality. I've only tried a few of the function so far, but the pictures have been excellent.
I bought this camera at the Downtown location in Toronto. The sales guy was really good, not an expert for this model but solid overall knowledge about the 1 inch cameras. I have been using the full frame cameras(Canon) for years and carried my camera bag all over the world.
Superb bit of kit
I was looking for the best premium compact on the market and all the online reviews pointed to the Sony RX100 V it's a superb bit of kit. Factor in you will need a case, spare battery and a screen protector and you won't get much change from a grand. That been said there isn't a better compact.
The camera that does it all
Only have had this camera for a few weeks but have yet to find anything I don't like about it. I've been a Canon person for many years and DSC-RX100 V has replaced my Canon G5X, which I really liked, but damaged it after a long hard drop to the pavement.
I would buy this product again
As a youtuber this camera works great for me. Light weight, compact and great picture quality. Create create and create!
Excellent and practical product
Light and compact and easy to fit into a pocket. Well constructed and robust with easy to read instructions.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V review
The RX100 V is one of the most advanced compacts we've seen, with a specification dripping with advanced features that would shame some pricier mirrorless and DSLR cameras. This isn't entirely a good thing however – the RX100 V is almost too advanced for its own good, and you have to question how...- Built-in EVF
- 24fps burst shooting
- 315-point AF system
- Excellent image quality
- Advanced 4K video
- Some handling issues
- No touchscreen
- Pricey compared to rivals
