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.- Great lens and image quality
- palm-sized portability
- built-in viewfinder
- tilt-angle LCD screen
- fast burst mode and notable autofocus improvement
- Still no touchscreen control
- movie button position
- autofocus still basic in some modes
- no aperture ring
- finder assembly per use
- huge expense

Excellent camera! The package came in time
Excellent camera! The package came in time, and with all additional stuff as was advertised. Good thing 2 extra batteries added to the package, very usefull. No complains about camera so far.
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.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 V Review
If there's ever been a point-and-shoot that deserves a high price tag, it's Sony's RX100 Mark V.- 24 fps continuous shooting
- Improved 20.1MP 1-inch-type stacked sensor
- 4K video
- Compact
- portable design
- Nifty super-slow-motion mode
- High price for a point-and-shoot
- Poor battery life
- Focal length could be longer
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.
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.- 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.
- 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.
