The fifth generation of Sony's high-spec compact achieves the same high-quality still shots and similarly smooth 4K and high frame rate video, but there are other improvements too. The autofocus claimed to be the world's fastest, and it locks and tracks s...
High price for a point-and-shoot, Poor battery life, Focal length could be longer
Asking for nearly $1,000 for a point-and-shoot is tough, but if there's ever been one to deserve that price tag, it's the RX100 Mark V. For current Mark IV owners, the biggest improvement of the Mark V is the higher burst rate and improved autofocus syste...

There's no doubting that the Sony RX100 V is a brilliant compact camera. It's small, it's powerful, its continuous autofocus is notably improved, the images it can enable you to capture are great… but it's not that different to its RX100 IV predecessor, w...

Relatively small zoom range, No touchscreen, High price
The Sony RX100 V is a stunning technical achievement. As with previous models, it captures a huge amount of light for such a small camera, which delivers the goods for image and video quality. This latest model also delivers in spades for performance.The...
