The fifth generation in the popular Sony RX100 series offers improved hardware and support for 4K recordings.


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.

Fast Five: Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V Review

The Sony RX100 V builds on a camera that was already class-leading in many respects and crams 24fps burst shooting, oversampled 4K video and a 315-point autofocus system into this new pocket-sized companion. But there are no updates to its design, ergonomics or user interface that would ease direct control of its immense feature set. It's the most expensive pocket zoom camera on the market today, and there are other models that we find nicer to use in practice, but the RX100 V remains the highest-specced and most capable camera in its class.
Pros:
  • Those wanting the latest and greatest technology to carry with them everywhere, photographers looking for a capable point-and-shoot experience, people looking to create high-quality video on-the-go.
Cons:
  • Sports photographers who will want a longer zoom lens and people who frequently want to take manual control over their photography.

In case you couldn't tell, much of this review has been a bit of a battle between the spec sheet and real-world use, and between being impressed by the capability but let down by the experience.

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V Review

The lifecycle of different cameras varies considerably, and while it's not uncommon to wait as long as four years for some DSLRs to be superseded by the next model, the waiting time in a compact series is usually much shorter.

  • Genuinely pocket-sized
  • Record-breaking performance

More importantly, it's a camera designed for the digital shooter more so than the one who may want to make big prints from a vacation. And to be honest, that seems to be most of us these days.

dissatisfied

I thought that this was a point and shoot camera. It needed an accessory. A flash. For the flash was built in. I also ordered this on Walmart.com thinking that if I needed to return this item I would be able to go to my local Walmart to return this item. Instead I had to ship it back.
