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different cameras varies considerably, and while it's not uncommon to wait as long as four years for some DSLRs to be superseded by the next model, the waiting time in a compact series is usually much shorter.

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

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- Versatile
- Viewfinder AND a tilting screen
- Powerful for a compact
- 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.
