Sony Electronics announces the RX10 V, the fifth generation of its RX10 all-in-one camera series, designed for travel, wildlife, and sports photography.
The RX10 V keeps the series’ resolution, super-telephoto reach, and integrated lens design, and adds AI-powered Real-time Recognition AF for accurate subject identification.
The Sony RX10 V continues the logic of the series: a single body covers wide-angle to super-telephoto through a large-aperture ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm (25x optical zoom) F2.4-4.0 lens with optical image stabilization, spanning everyday shots to sports and wildlife. Macro focusing reaches approximately 3cm (1.18-inches) at 24mm and approximately 72cm (28.3-inches) at 600mm for tele-macro.
Paired with blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps with full 60 fps/sec. AF/AE (auto exposure) tracking, it holds focus on fast, unpredictable subjects, claims Sony. A 20.1 megapixels (approximately effective) 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor and BIONZ XR processing engine drive both stills and video, covering a wide variety of scenarios spanning from everyday moments to wildlife to school sports. The large aperture and 1.0-type sensor render soft, natural background blur.
Those interested in video will want to know that the RX10 V records up to 4K 120p video, including 4K slow motion at up to 5x. Active Mode stabilization steadies handheld footage. The Multi Interface (MI) Shoesupports a digital audio signal with compatible microphones (sold separately) for clean recording. AI subject recognition also drives an Auto Framing function*9 that keeps the subject centered during recording.
S-Cinetone gives cinematic color straight away, and S-Log3 leaves room for post-production grading. You can import up to 16 user LUTs and monitor the graded look while shooting in Log. Time-lapse and still-image extraction with Shot Mark round out the video tools.
The RX10 V borrows its button layout and grip design from the α (Alpha) mirrorless series for intuitive control. A larger Quad-VGA OLED electronic viewfinder shows fine detail clearly in bright sun or indoors, helping you compose precisely. The Z-series NP-FZ100 battery extends still shooting to approximately 630 shots, roughly 50% more than the previous model.
“The RX10 series camera became a cult classic because it is a joy to shoot with in real life scenarios, and its range is unparalleled in a compact camera body. With the camera’s fifth generation we are bringing valuable features from our Alpha line to make the RX10 V an unbeatable choice for any passionate wildlife, birding, or sports photographer,” said Yang Cheng, Vice President of Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics.
