Summary

  • $2,299.99 gets Sony’s new RX10 V in August 2026, the fifth-generation all-in-one camera aimed at wildlife, birding and sports shooters.
  • The model pairs a 20.1MP 1.0-type stacked sensor with a BIONZ XR processor and AI unit, adding real-time subject recognition autofocus across people, animals, birds, insects and vehicles.
  • Sony says the camera can perform up to 60 AF/AE calculations per second and shoot blackout-free bursts at up to 30 fps, while its ZEISS 24-600mm F2.4-4.0 lens keeps the long-zoom bridge format intact.
  • Video features include 4K 120p, S-Cinetone, S-Log3, user LUT support, Active Mode stabilization and 4K 30p live streaming over USB-C.
  • Battery life rises to about 630 shots per charge—roughly 50% more than the previous model—extending an RX10 line that had gone years without a refresh.
