Sony's original DSC-RX100 camera has been a favorite among photography enthusiasts since it came out. And Sony keeps adding cool features with each subsequent release. The updated RX100 V is the fastest version yet. A large sensor, blazing-fast processor, and fast wide-angle zoom lens add huge imaging power to this little camera.

Its Fast Hybrid autofocus system can lock onto your subject in as little as .05 seconds, and it can do an astonishing 24 frames per second of continuous shooting at full resolution. Powerful tracking performance gives you clear, sharp action photos and smooth videos at up to 4K resolution.

Slow down time

The RX100 V's processing speed lets you take high-speed photos and slow-motion video. You can freeze objects in motion with electronic shutter speeds up to 1/32,000 seconds, or slow down time with 40X super-slow-motion HD video capability. The RX100 V can record at up to 1,000 frames per second for up to eight seconds, for over five minutes of slow-motion video. You can capture fleeting moments like fireworks bursting in midair, or a butterfly flapping its wings, and watch the action unfold in ways you've never seen before.

Premium glass

A maximum aperture of f/2.8 at the telephoto end of the attached 24-70mm zoom lens enables fast, blur-free shooting and lovely background defocusing. A close minimum focusing distance of just under two inches at the wide end makes the RX100 V great for macro and close-up work, and its short zoom range makes it optimal for landscapes and portraits. You can shoot wide open in extremely bright light and get well-exposed images with defocused backgrounds like you never thought possible thanks to the added speed of the electronic shutter and a built-in neutral density filter.

A lens-mounted control ring gives you added command over manual controls and lets you adjust different features and functions like step-zooming. Smooth, quiet operation lets you use the control ring while shooting video as well.

Add functionality with your phone

You can instantly transfer photos and videos shot on the RX100 V to your phone or tablet for easy uploading and sharing. NFC touch pairing is available for compatible Android™ devices, and new QR code compatibility lets you quickly pair devices without NFC. Sony's PlayMemories Camera Apps include free and paid apps that complement your photographic style and interests.

The Smart Remote Control app lets you use your mobile device to control shooting. And there are specialized apps for things like light painting, time-lapse, stop motion, and multiple exposure, plus plenty of editing effects to fine-tune your photos and add your own personal touches.
