The All-in-One Super Zoom Camera for Everyday, Wildlife, and Sports Photography

Advanced AI powered recognition AF and high-speed performance with 24-600 mm zoom to capture every decisive moment

Sony announces 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, 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 which 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, school sports days, 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. 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.

“The RX10 series has continued to be a compelling choice for anyone who wants to take great pictures without carrying multiple pieces of kit. Now with AI-powered Real-time recognition AF for accurate subject recognition, it combines exceptional image quality, versatile zoom and all-in-one design, giving photographers the freedom to capture everything from sweeping landscapes and wildlife to family moments and travel adventures, said Yoshioka Naoto, Head of Marketing, Imaging Products and Solutions, Sony Europe, “It’s the perfect companion for those who want outstanding results wherever their creativity takes them.”
