Summary
$2,299.99 is the main sticking point in Digital Camera World’s review, which calls the RX10 V the best bridge camera it has used despite the steep launch premium.
The camera keeps the RX10 IV’s 20.1MP 1-inch sensor and 24-600mm f/2.4-4 lens, but adds a BIONZ XR chip, AI processing, redesigned controls, a better EVF and stronger video features.
30fps blackout-free shooting, 575 AF points and improved subject recognition lifted wildlife and outdoor performance, though Auto subject mode and busy-background focusing were still inconsistent.
4K60p, cropped 4K120p and strong optical stabilization broaden its video use, but the review still sees it as a stills-first bridge camera rather than a serious hybrid creator model.
That leaves buyers weighing an all-in-one superzoom against mirrorless alternatives at similar cost, especially with the RX10 V launching about $600 above the RX10 IV’s old $1,699 price.
