Sony RX100 V review: The fastest shooter in the West

Pros:
- Outstanding image and video quality
- Genuinely pocket-sized
- Record-breaking performance
Cons:
- Relatively small zoom range
- No touchscreen
- High price

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
Pros:
- Image quality Easy navigate menus On-board menu descriptions/interface Easy wi-fi transfers Reputation of the entire RX series
Cons:
- 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
