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.

Sony RX100 V

Sony RX100 V remains as the most advanced compact camera, allowing casual photographers to capture HFR footages and continuously focus and capture moving objects at 24 fps. If these 2 features are not important, then there are other brands and models that are equally capable in capturing good images...

Sony RX100 V review: Impressive, but resting on its laurels

Sony has completely owned the high-end compact camera market since the launch of the original RX100 back in 2012 . From the third-gen model , it tore up what a palm-sized compact could do by introducing a built-in electronic viewfinder and faster lens.
Pros:
  • Great lens and image quality
  • palm-sized portability
  • built-in viewfinder
  • tilt-angle LCD screen
  • fast burst mode and notable autofocus improvement
Cons:
  • Still no touchscreen control
  • movie button position
  • autofocus still basic in some modes
  • no aperture ring
  • finder assembly per use
  • huge expense

In my full review of the RX100 mark IV , I stated in the title that it was the most powerful compact camera ever created. Well, with the RX100 V, Sony managed to do even better. Perhaps the improvements are not as significant as they were when they upgraded the mark III to the IV but some of them...

Sony RX100 V review

Sony's Cyber-shot RX100 Mark V is arguably the most powerful premium compact camera to date, packing unparalleled speed and high-end features into a pocketable body. It's the first fixed-lens camera in its class to sport embedded phase-detect AF points in the 1inch sensor, allowing smooth and...

Sony RX100 V review

If you already own the RX100 IV, there’s no real need to buy the RX100 V – it’s just too similar. However, it’s also an improvement, if a slight one, over that already superb compact camera, which makes it one of the best point-and-shoots on the market, boasting a flexibility that few pocket cameras can muster. You do pay a hefty sum for that versatility and all-round performance, which is the only real criticism I can find about the RX100 V. If you’re willing to drop a grand on a point-and-shoot camera, though, this is the one to do it on. Buy the Sony RX100 X here from Amazon
Pros:
  • Versatile
  • Viewfinder AND a tilting screen
  • Powerful for a compact
Cons:
  • Expensive for a compact
  • Limited zoom range

So, I just got my RX100V, which is intented to be the "keep it in my bag" camera. I am upgrading from the first version of the RX100 and I have a Panny FZ1000. I guess I became the 1-inch sensor kind-of guy.

High Quality Camera

Very pleased with first results from the camera - it is small (heavy compared with other cameras at this size) and very expensive, but brings together a large sensor with a proper viewfinder and a built-in flash. Very expensive, but a quality product.
