Sony Electronics introduces RX10 V, a fifth generation super zoom camera

Sony Electronics announces the RX10 V, the fifth generation of its RX10 all-in-one camera series. A single body covers wide-angle to super-telephoto through a large-aperture ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600m (25x optical zoom) F2.4-4.0 lens. The RX10 V keeps the series’ resolution, super-telephoto reach, and integrated lens design, and adds AI-powered Real-time Recognition AF (auto focus) for accurate subject identification. The RX10 V will be available for a suggested retail price of $2,299.99 US / $2,899.99 CAD from August 2026.

Paired with blackout-free continuous shooting at up to 30 fps (frames per second) with full 60 fps/sec. AF/AE (auto exposure) tracking, the RX10 V holds focus on fast, unpredictable subjects like wildlife and birds. A 20.1 megapixels (approximately effective) 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor and BIONZ X processing engine drive both stills and up to 4K 12 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, the company says.

The RX10 V borrows its button layout and grip design from the 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.
