Sony revives the RX10 superzoom with a $2,300 price tag

The new model centers on a 20.1-megapixel stacked 1-inch sensor, enabling 30fps blackout-free continuous shooting. This speed, paired with an autofocus system featuring 575 points and advanced subject tracking, targets wildlife and sports enthusiasts who prefer an all-in-one package over a heavy kit of full-frame lenses. The body has also been redesigned to align with the ergonomics of the Alpha series, now housing the high-capacity NP-FZ100 battery.

Video capabilities have seen a significant boost, with support for 4K 60p recording and professional-grade color profiles like S-Log3 and S-Cinetone. The camera also includes USB-C livestreaming functionality at 4K 30p, addressing modern connectivity needs. However, the update comes with trade-offs: the integrated ND filter and pop-up flash found in previous iterations have been removed. Priced at $2,299.99, the RX10 V arrives in early August, positioning itself as a high-end alternative for photographers seeking versatility without the burden of interchangeable optics.
