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.

Sony RX100 V
Sony's RX100-series created the large-sensor compact camera category. Now, the Sony RX100 V takes it to the next level with performance that can blow away most interchangeable-lens cameras, yet in a package that can slip almost unnoticed into your pants pocket.
Pros:
- Pocket-friendly design
- Unbelievably fast burst capture
- Generous buffer depth, even for raw
- Fast and confident autofocus
- Very high resolution gives lots of detail in good light
- High ISO noise levels much better than most pocket camera rivals
- High-quality 4K video with uncompressed HDMI out
- ...
Cons:
- Very pricey for a compact camera
- Still no touch screen
- Slow buffer clearing
- JPEGs can look over-processed at higher ISOs
- Lens doesn't offer much telephoto reach
- Battery life is very modest
- 4K movies are limited to five minute clips

The camera that does it all
Only have had this camera for a few weeks but have yet to find anything I don't like about it. I've been a Canon person for many years and DSC-RX100 V has replaced my Canon G5X, which I really liked, but damaged it after a long hard drop to the pavement.

Superb bit of kit
I was looking for the best premium compact on the market and all the online reviews pointed to the Sony RX100 V it's a superb bit of kit. Factor in you will need a case, spare battery and a screen protector and you won't get much change from a grand. That been said there isn't a better compact.
