The Sony RX100 series is probably the most important development in camera design this decade. These cameras deliver something previously thought to be impossible: true SLR quality in a camera small and light enough to fit in a jeans pocket.

Outstanding image and video quality; Genuinely pocket-sized; Record-breaking performance

Relatively small zoom range; No touchscreen; High price

The RX100 V is one of the most advanced compacts we've seen, with a specification dripping with advanced features that would shame some pricier mirrorless and DSLR cameras. This isn't entirely a good thing however – the RX100 V is almost too advanced for its own good, and you have to question how...

Built-in EVF; 24fps burst shooting; 315-point AF system; Excellent image quality; Advanced 4K video

Some handling issues; No touchscreen; Pricey compared to rivals

Very pleased with first results from the camera - it is small (heavy compared with other cameras at this size) and very expensive, but brings together a large sensor with a proper viewfinder and a built-in flash. Very expensive, but a quality product.

Light and compact and easy to fit into a pocket. Well constructed and robust with easy to read instructions.

I thought that this was a point and shoot camera. It needed an accessory. A flash. For the flash was built in. I also ordered this on Walmart.com thinking that if I needed to return this item I would be able to go to my local Walmart to return this item. Instead I had to ship it back.

As a youtuber this camera works great for me. Light weight, compact and great picture quality. Create create and create!

I bought this camera at the Downtown location in Toronto. The sales guy was really good, not an expert for this model but solid overall knowledge about the 1 inch cameras. I have been using the full frame cameras(Canon) for years and carried my camera bag all over the world.

More importantly, it's a camera designed for the digital shooter more so than the one who may want to make big prints from a vacation. And to be honest, that seems to be most of us these days.

Best compact camera ! Plus: Grim image quality. Crazy autofocus. Continuous Shooting, okay;). 24raw in seconds, crazy! 4K Applications for the timelapse, mM There are certainly more things but have not had time to test everything. Minus.

Sony RX100 V remains as the most advanced compact camera, allowing casual photographers to capture HFR footages and continuously focus and capture moving objects at 24 fps. If these 2 features are not important, then there are other brands and models that are equally capable in capturing good images...
