Sony Revives Superzoom Camera With RX10 V After Nine-Year Wait – channelnews

Sony says the RX10 V adds Alpha-style autofocus and 4K 120p video, with up to 630 shots per charge and a A$3,499 launch price.

  • On Thursday, July 9, 2026, Sony Electronics announced the RX10 V, the fifth generation of its bridge camera series, featuring a 24-600mm ZEISS Vario-Sonnar lens with 25x optical zoom priced at $2,299.99.
  • Bringing technology from the Alpha line, Sony integrated a BIONZ XR processing engine and dedicated AI processing unit to power Real-time Recognition Autofocus, paired with a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor.
  • Photographers capture 30 frames per second using blackout-free continuous shooting, while the NP-FZ100 battery extends capacity to approximately 630 shots per charge, roughly 50% more than the previous model.
  • Supporting professional workflows, the camera records 4K video at up to 120p with S-Cinetone and S-Log3 support, positioning it as a capable alternative for serious wildlife, sports, and travel photographers.
  • Few competitors currently pair a 1-inch sensor with 600mm of reach, and the $2,299.99 price pushes into mirrorless territory; Yang Cheng, Vice President of Imaging Solutions at Sony Electronics, called it an "unbeatable choice.
