RX100 V - Amazing AF speed, compact designUltra-fast autofocus (AF) and continuous shooting provide the edge you need to capture a moment in the blink of an eye.Staggering performance in a 1.0-type sensor compactMeet the RX100 V - the ultimate compact for capturing movies and stills in captivating detail. This camera inherits the RX100 series' renowned 1.0-type image sensor, and advances with blazing-fast 0.05-second autofocus, 315 focal plane phase-detection AF points, continuous shooting up to 24 fps with AF/AE tracking, as well as outstanding 4K movie capabilities.Faster, more precise AFSuper-fast 0.05-sec. autofocus speed The improved autofocus is the result of a cutting-edge AF system that combines super-fast 0.05-second AF speed and wide, dense AF coverage employing 315 phase-detection AF points.Wide 315-AF-point coverage keeps action in focus315 densely arrayed phase-detection AF points offer wide coverage (65% of image sensor's image area) for consistent AF and tracking, even of small, fast-moving subjects.Autofocus achieved in just 0.05 secondsThe Fast Hybrid AF system, combining high-speed phase-detection AF with extremely accurate contrast-detection AF, allows the camera to lock onto and capture moving subjects in merely 0.05 seconds.24fps continuous shooting - Shoot continuously at up to 24fps with AF/AE tracking precisionSmooth subject tracking with reduced blackoutCapture 20.1 MP images, at up to 24fps, continuously for up to 233 shots, and with full AF/AE tracking for each. With reduced blackout it's also easier to follow moving subjects on both the LCD screen or viewfinder.The more quiet, the more candidSwitch to electronic shutter and deactivate sound to get close to and shoot pets and other subjects silently, even using continuous shooting modes.Advanced image processing system - The drive behind advanced AF and continuous shootingExmor RS CMOS sensor, BIONZ X and front-end LSI The 20.1 effective megapixel Exmor RS CMOS image sensor featuring focal plane phase-detection AF sensor, the advanced high-speed BIONZ X image processing engine and the front-end LSI that supports image processing are efficiently controlled. Together, they achieve 0.05-sec. AF response, high-speed continuous shooting with AF/AE tracking at up to approx. 24fps, higher perceived resolution and low noise levels as well as more accurate face and eye detection.Outstanding image quality and continuous shootingYou needn't compromise image quality for shooting speed. The RX100 V can capture high-resolution images of over 20 MP as quickly as 24fps, thanks to enhanced image processing capacity and response.Extended support for 4K video captureSharper focus with Fast Hybrid AFThe Fast Hybrid AF system and wide autofocus coverage allow fast focusing speeds and high tracking accuracy to capture sharp images even when shooting 4K movies.Making the most of 4K recordingsThe RX100V captures 4K movies using a full sensor readout, without the pixel binning common on other cameras. By condensing around 1.7x the image data into each 4K frame, fine details are rendered precisely with less moire and other image artefacts.Super slow motion - Make epic action last even longerExtended super slow motion at up to 960fpsThe RX100 V can record movies for super slow motion at up to 960fps (40x the normal frame rate). With twice the recording time of its predecessor, you can capture even more action, to express almost any activity more memorably.More versatile functionsInheriting more versatile controlThe RX100 V inherits the brilliant retractable OLED electronic viewfinder with anti-reflective ZEISS T Coating, multi-function control ring/custom buttons and 180-degree tiltable LCD screen that distinguish its predecessor.Imaging Edge Remote, Viewer, and EditElevate your photography with Imaging Edge desktop applications. Use "Remote" to remotely control shooting; "Viewer" to quickly preview, rate, and select photos from large image libraries; and "Edit" to develop RAW data into high-quality photos for delivery. Get the best from Sony RAW files, and manage your productions more efficiently.Capture One for SonyCapture One Express (for Sony) is a free award-winning editing software that provides RAW development, easy management and powerful editing tools. Capture One Pro (for Sony) can be bought for even more editing tools and tethered shooting capability.FeaturesZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens for precision imagingThe large-diameter ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T lens offers uncompromised images across its full optical range of 24-70 mm. The wide F1.8-2.8 aperture allows for fast shutter speeds and blur-free shooting, as well as beautiful background bokeh. Flare and ghosting is also dramatically reduced thanks to the high-performance T coating.Exmor RS CMOS sensor for speedThe 20.1 effective MP 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip enables up to 960fps super slow motion shooting and super high-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter up to 1/32000 sec. that are too fast for human eyes to perceive. Moreover, 315-point focal plane phase detection AF provides for extraordinarily precise autofocusing and tracking performance.High-speed BIONZ X image processing engineThe updated BIONZ X image processing engine achieves even higher-speed processing performance than its predecessor, to capture fast-moving subjects at up to 24fps. The enhanced image- processing algorithm lets you capture more natural images, with less noise across the sensitivity range, while maintaining fine detail.Real-time Eye AF with excellent tracking performanceHigh-precision Real-time Eye AF combined with high-performance AF tracking provides helpful assistance with portrait shooting. It's effective even when the subject is looking down and away, or when faces are backlit or in partial darkness, and it keeps the focus on moving subjects' eyes when using the AF-C setting.Dense, widespread 315-AF-point coverageFocus on your subject faster with 315 phase-detection AF points across a wide area of the image (approx. 65% of the frame). The Hybrid AF system combines these densely-packed, ultra-fast phase-detection focus points with the precision of contrast detection AF, for dependable focusing even when tracking small or fast-moving subjects.Autofocus in just 0.05 sec.Combining the speed of phase-detection AF and accuracy of contrast-detection AF, the Fast Hybrid AF system can acquire focus in as little as 0.05 sec, to track subjects precisely and allow you to capture the moment perfectly.Silent shooting for sensitive situationsYou can mute the camera's shutter sound by making the following camera settings: "Shutter type: Electronic" and "Audio signals: Off". This way, you can shoot quiet scenes and noise-sensitive subjects in silence, even during continuous shooting.Smooth-tracking continuous shooting up to 24fpsThe RX100 V can perform high-speed continuous shooting at the full 20.1 MP resolution and up to 24fps with AF/AE tracking. In addition, the camera reduces blackout on the electronic viewfinder and LCD screen, and this reduction makes for smoother monitoring of moving subjects and easier shooting of fleeting moments.Focus Area RegistrationPre-register, then instantly recall, a custom focusing area. Ideal for shooting sports like athletics, motorsport or tennis, or any time a subject moves regularly into an ideal composition in your frame. By simply assigning your AF area selection to a custom button you can prioritize that area for focusing when your subject enters it with just a single tap of a button.1/32000 s Anti-Distortion ShutterUp to 1/32000 s Anti-Distortion Shutter works to minimize image distortion caused by the rolling shutter phenomenon. The extraordinarily fast shutter speed also allows you to produce photos with background defocusing using a large aperture setting even under extremely bright conditions at a maximum of EV19.Brilliant 4K moviesIn shooting 4K (QFHD resolution: 3840 x 2160) movies with full pixel readout without pixel binning, the camera collects approx. 1.7 times as much information as is required for basic 4K movie output. This oversampling effect results in images of outstanding resolution with reduced moire and jaggies.AF-A mode automatically switches focus modeIn AF-A mode, the camera automatically switches between AF-S mode (Single AF: locks focus while the shutter button is pressed halfway) and AF-C mode (Continuous AF: keeps focusing on subjects while the shutter button is pressed halfway), according to such changes as sudden subject movement and brightness as detected throughout the shooting frame.Photo Capture creates clear stills from moviesThe Photo Capture function lets you select a moment from a 4K movie in playback and save it in the form of a highly detailed still image file of over 8 megapixels. Likewise, you can create a 2-megapixel still image file from a Full HD movie that has been recorded.

Used Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V (A) Digital Camera, Black undefined

Got this a couple of weeks ago as my everyday carry camera, it's got a great feature set and easy to use, lens is brilliant too, love the built in ND filter

Great little camera

Wonderful camera to use. Simplicity in a dinky but powerful piece of kit.

Lovely camera

My original model RX100 recently gave up the ghost after many years great service. The Mark V is very familiar in operation but with some great enhancements eg viewfinder and movable screen. I am very happy.

Familiar but better....

I wanted a small compact camera for carrying with me at all times plus whilst on my bicycle. The small size if the RX100 plus the 1" sensor steered me twoards it.
So far I am most pleased with it. The still images, both JPEG and RAW are better than I expected. The 4K video is outstanding and the 1080P is even better in my view. 
I wear glasses and the viewfinder works fine with them. 
If you need a small camera that is easily carried everyday then the RX100 may be what you need.

Capable Performer

"It's simply a camera that does everything you would want a camera to do: excellent image quality, a sufficiently large sensor, outstanding aperture up to f/1.8, 4k 30fps video capability, supports raw photos and s-log videos, integrated ND filter, hundreds of customizable features, convenient controls with the ring on the lens, built-in flash, integrated OLED viewfinder... all in a pocket-sized product, smaller than a smartphone... exceptional!

The only drawback, if I have to be nitpicky, is the limited 70mm focal length (it's 200mm in newer versions, but they losed the ND filter, which I consider indispensable). If they combined the 200mm with the ND filter, it would undoubtedly be the ultimate camera."

The best compact ever

I bought this camera to take with me on my walks, it is lovely and compact and fits into my pocket easy. It also takes fabulous photos and is full of special features.

Great little camera.

I bought this as a replacement for my DSC-H55 which is showing its age, to use when I don't want to carry my full DSLR kit.

Just what I needed

I bought this a few weeks ago and it was a conscious choice between the 5a and the 7 as I prefer the better speed of the lens. I was looking for a pocketable camera that could still produce a good picture and almost went mad looking at the pluses and minuses of what was on the market but opted for the RX100. My only reservation was the lens speed at the longest length but then I discovered the 5a. Ok only up to 70mm but everything else is brilliant about this perfect travel camera and, other than touch screen, the software matches the 7. I've still to take it on my travels but so far I've been impressed. The only change is like to see it's to up the 70 to 100mm or 80mm which shouldn't influence the aperture too much. Highly recommend.

So far so good

great camera

Bought this to replace a RX100 Mark 1 which finally gave up after about 9 years of moderate use -- so not too bad. 

The RX100 V(A) is a notable upgrade in usage, with the built in viewfinder and tilt-able screen, and much enhanced focus system including face / eye recognition in partficular. 

Very promising reviews and marks for the sensor performance too - though I haven't yet done much post processing. 

Generally a very good feature balance against the competition (I heavily prioritise quality and therefore sensor size personally, as the user of a semi-pro mirrorless "SLR" for when i'm in even more enthusiast mode - which makes normal compacts with smaller sensors look really poor. 

I like the balance of features here compared to later models too - as I said I value quality, so a 1.8 max aperture and good lens are definitely better than a superzoom you see on the M6 and 7 for my purposes (I won't be upgrading to those ever -- not good enough max aperture and probably more compromised lens quality to reach those lengths). 

The negatives -- battery life not great (but spares are reasonably cheap) - and it REALLY should come stock with the GR2 grip.... the design without it is FAR too slippery in the hand.

Good package (for me, better than later models)

I've had two of these cameras and both flash units died after just over a year's worth of use.
Really poor considering the high price tag.

Flash unit died in two cameras

I had this for less than a week and when it did work it took wonderful pictures and the speed and feature set was amazing. Unfortunately the front control ring leaked its lube oil on first use and became sticky not smooth, and then the viewfinder mechanism failed, and finally the card slot stopped accepting sd cards, so i returned the camera for a refund.

Great in theory but faulty in practice

Having to drop from a DSLR due to Ill health LCE Derby recommended this camera, I was unsure if the sensor being a one inch format ( not a physical one inch size) would give me the results but as a long term customer I was happy to give it a go; here?s what I found:-
The electronic viewfinder is top notch clear and dare I say better for information on screen than my previous DSLR.
Very compact with the fast 24-70 lens.
You do have to be careful with menu and tiny buttons.
Focus is great and the fitted case is worth getting to complement it.
It came with an out of date software that windows 11 wouldn?t download but a bit of digging found that it was updated and renamed, 
Having used it for a couple of months great interior and portrait shots but I can?t help thinking I should have had the longer zoom version. 
The grey skies on landscape images however does tend even on raw not to hold much detail. It could be me though.
Can?t review sound or video as I don?t shoot it.

Rx100 va

I bought this three weeks aog to replace my trusty RX100iii that sadly expired after 6 years of regular use. I wanted the large aperture of the iii so went for the VA rather then the VI and it doesn't disappoint but with the added feature of much quicker focus. It is fiddly to use if your not used to it, but not a problem after a while. Still a load of addional features to be explored, but as with the iii when I bought it, an awsome piece of technology. to complement my A7iii.

So much in such a small package

Nice camera
But the instructions came in French and Spanish to California USA

Please send English instructions

The recently bought camera is not working - it shows black screen with "turn power off then on". Many people had the same problem but it's still not solved by SONY BEFORE selling it. Shame on You!

Brand new camera is not working.

I already have the Sony A6000, and a Sony A7iii???but in certain situations I wanted to travel light. I already had a little compact from another manufacturer, it was getting a little old and dare I say ?well used? and so I decided on the RX1005A. I have to be careful on what I buy due to only having one arm, but this little Sony is great. After using my 2 other Cameras, I had no issues with its menu system. It?s great just to put in your pocket and go. It has some great features, but more than that??..the final photos are fantastic.

A Great Little Camera

Awesome Camera and kit!  A really great value.

Great Camera

2 years ago I bought a Panasonic compact camera with a view for using it for street photography and spontaneous photos. The camera gave very poor-quality photos. I have a friend who has a Sony RX100 (first version) and he highly recommended it. I decided to go with his recommendation and I bought the RX100va because it was at the top end of my price range. After 3 weeks of use I have found it very easy to set up and gave me a lot of flexibilty in how I use it. Its small and compact and I find the solid build quality gives sufficient weight to handle the camera correctly. I photograph in RAW and the quality ogf the photos is very good. They are easy to manipulate on my photo editor. I definitely recommend the Sony RX100 range of cameras.

Sony RX100va

Hunted around for a more pocketable companion to my Micro 4/3 Olympus interchangeable camera. The RX100 fitted the bill and the reviews (mostly from 2018 when it came out) supported the high quality well focussed pictures I'm getting.
I could not justify/afford the Mk VI or VII, and didn't need the longer zoom. I wanted the brighter aperture that the Mk VA provides.
I like the size, bright rear screen, very fast focus and burst shot speeds, and the wifi transfer to my home pc.
The only thing I miss from my Olympus and my wifes Panasonic compact zoom is a touch screen as it makes it so much easier to select focus points. However the RX100 focusses so quickly and 'accurately' I rarely find the need to change focus point.

Good quality ultra compact portrait/travel camera

Very happy with the camera. I was worried that the Artificial Intelligence used by the Auto modes would make a lot of bad decisions and drive me crazy. But amazed how sensible all the decisions it makes are. Controls and menu options also seem to be very well layed out and intuitive. So I do not have to waste much time digging through the manuals to find where settings are hidden. Remote control using smartphone app very useful for taking selfies when you need to place camera further than arms length away to fit everything in, for example of large groups or to include background . Extremely solid build quality. Image quality seems to be very good, probably much better than an average user would ever be able to see or use since the image quality of modern high end cameras like this only really shows up when you print photos in very large sizes - which most people don't do unless serious amatuers or pro photographers. Bit confusing that there are so many different models in the RX100 V range, I chose the 5A.

Amazing

I brought this and used it for the projects on ascent 1 and 2 and it worked great capturing how i move.

A true Camera for capturing moments of movement

I have owned full frame DSLRs and now Mirrorless models since they came in the market. For many years I also had on APS C cropped sensor camera for when sized matters. A friend recommended one of the cameras in this series as a go to pocketable camera. After some use I understand his enthusiasm. It has a great lens, good functionality, an EVF which I find essential out of doors, and a sensor that is well ahead of most in compact cameras. I prefer dials to menus but compact means compromises. Used to bigger cameras, I find it tricky to hold safely but with a retro two piece case and neck strap those concerns went away. The only image quality issue I have found is trying to work indoors with natural light. Noise is noticeable at moderate ISO and the trade off with slow shutter speeds would be helped by better image stabilisation. That said, at the size and price, there is little competition other that the more recent versions with a longer zoom range.

Great compact, a few tweaks would make it amazing

These are astonishing little cameras: so small that they fit in the front pocket of a pair of jeans, and yet capable of full manual control and truly professional results. I knew the RX100M3 already. I deliberately chose the M5A over the M6 or M7 because I prefer the brighter, sharper lens of the original. M5A is a considerable improvement over the M3, being faster and more responsive in operation. Results, processed in Capture One Pro, seem sharper than ever, too. My only criticism is that the on-screen menus are awful, so that options are hard to find without reading every page, but custom menus help with that. It's a small niggle in an otherwise brilliant product.

Professional camera that fits in a jeans pocket

Great pictures but internal and external software are difficult to use--internally looking at your set up and externally difficult to transfer pictures or to use with phone

Good features-tedious to use

The camera is great for travel and everyday photos. However, the panoramic feature is difficult to use. Adorama provided me with everything in a timely fashion.

Great for Travel and Daily Photography!

Perfect combination of customisation and ease of use.

Excellent camera

Love this camera, very easy to use on the go, fast and compact.

Bought this camera three weeks ago there are a lot features to work through . The picture quality is great fairly easy to navigate the menu .

Great travel camera

I bought this mainly for the wide appature. The photos in low light are just brilliant.
