All-in-one super zoom camera for everyday, wildlife and sports photography

Sony has announced the RX10 V, the fifth-generation model in the RX10 series of all-in-one cameras. The perfect hobbyist’s camera, this versatile powerhouse covers everything from wide-angle to super-telephoto in a single body, making it ideal for every type of shot thanks to its large-aperture, high-magnification ZEISS® Vario-Sonnar T 24-600mm (25x optical zoom) F2.4-4.0 lens.

Incorporating the RX10 series’ hallmark combination of high image quality, super-telephoto reach and integrated lens design, the RX10 V adds AI-powered Real-time Recognition AF. This provides highly accurate subject recognition that combines with high-speed blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with full AF/AE tracking, to capture every decisive moment.

Whether shooting stills with its 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS™ CMOS image sensor (with approximately 20.1 effective megapixels) and BIONZ XR™ image processing engine or shooting video that supports 4K 120p recording, this single camera handles a wide range of scenarios: from everyday moments to wildlife and athletic events.

Soft and smooth background blur can also easily be achieved with the great combination of the 1.0-type sensor and its large-aperture integrated lens.

For usability, RX10 V features a refined design incorporating the philosophy of the α™ (Alpha™) mirrorless camera series where the button layout and grip design enable reliable and intuitive operation.

Whether in bright sunshine or indoors, the new larger Quad-VGA OLED electronic viewfinder will aid the perfect photo composition, allowing crisp viewing of even the finest details of your subject.

When you’re out and about you need a dependable camera that can last, the Z-series rechargeable battery (NP-FZ100) extends still image shooting to up to approximately 630 shots – an improvement of approximately 50% or more compared to the previous model.

Additional features include S-Cinetone™ for easy cinematic colour and tone, and S-Log for video shooting with post-production grading in mind. Up to 16 user LUTs can be imported, allowing users to monitor the post-LUT look while shooting in Log mode. Time-lapse shooting and still image extraction using Shot Mark provide comprehensive video support functions.

For reliability in a range of shooting environments, the camera features a dust and moisture resistant design plus Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz) support for fast and stable data transfer. USB Type-C® connectivity provides high-speed, stable data transfer and supports 4K 30p live streaming.

New for this model, RX10 V supports Creators’ App: Sony’s proprietary software that enables users to connect to their smartphones to send files directly to the cloud or smartphone, control the camera remotely and update features and software, enhancing the functionality and convenience in shooting and sharing.
