Product details

The most powerful compact camera with sensor type 1.0:
Discover the RX100 V: the ultimate compact camera for videos and photos with high detail. Equipped with the RX100 Series 1.0 image sensor, this camera
features ultra-fast 0.05-second autofocus3, 315 auto-focus points for the world's most comprehensive1 phase detection coverage, 24 frames per second continuous shooting4 with AF/AE tracking and 4K video capabilities.

The first device of the RX100 series with an AF speed of 0.05 sec:
The optimized autofocus is the result of a state-of-the-art AF system that combines an extremely fast AF speed of 0.05 sec. with a large, dense 315-point AF coverage for phase detection.

Action scenes in focus with 315 AF point coverage:
315 tightly spaced phase detection auto-focus points provide the world's largest AF coverage (65% of the image area of the new image sensor), ensuring consistency in AF and tracking, even with small, fast-moving subjects.

Exmor RS CMOS sensor, Bionz X and front-end LSI:
The Exmor RS CMOS image sensor with 20.1 megapixel resolution, AF sensor with phase detection in the focal plane, the Bionz X high-speed processor and the optimized front-end LSI, which supports image processing, are efficiently controlled. They enable an AF response time of 0.05 seconds and a continuous shooting function with AF/AE tracking at 24 frames per second.

Outstanding image quality and continuous shooting:
You don't have to compromise on image quality when it comes to shooting speed. The RX100 V can take high-resolution images of more than 20 MP at 24 frames per second thanks to its image processing functions and fast response times.

Exceeds 4K requirements:
The 4K film recording function with full pixel reading without pixel binning condenses approximately 1.7 times as much data as required for 4K films so that the 4K image reproduction looks unbeatably brilliant.

Advanced super slow motion function with up to 960 frames per second:
The RX100 V can record video in super slow motion at up to 960 frames per second (40 times the normal frame rate), twice as long as its predecessor. This allows you to capture more unique details.

Familiar practical operation:
The RX100 V has the same features with the brilliant tilting electronic OLED viewfinder with T anti-reflective coating from ZEISS, the multifunctional adjusting ring, the individually configurable buttons and the 180-degree tilting LCD display that already set the previous model apart on the market.

Die RX100 V überzeugte im Test mit hoher Bildqualität sowie viel Tempo und gehört zu den besten Kameras ihrer Klasse. Die Ausstattung ist großzügig, die Bedienung meist einfach - nur wer viele Einstellungen gleichzeitig anpassen will, verheddert sich manchmal.

Besitzer einer RX100 Mark IV können getrost auf ein Upgrade verzichten. Höchstens wenn Sie eines der neuen Features unbedingt benötigen, lohnt sich der Kauf. Von der Mark III ist der Sprung schon etwas grösser und könnte sich für ambitionierte Nutzer lohnen. Ansonsten lohnt sich die RX100 V vor allem für Profis und anspruchsvolle Amateurfotografen ohne allzu strenges Budget...
