Sony brings back the superzoom RX10 with a stacked sensor and a high price
Sony has announced the RX10 V, a high-end superzoom camera featuring a new stacked sensor and improved battery life. Despite the significant price increase to $2,299, the camera aims to appeal to professional action and wildlife photographers.
Why it matters
The release highlights the continued evolution of specialized hardware in a market increasingly dominated by smartphone photography.
Sony is bringing back the RX10 superzoom camera after a nearly nine-year gap between models. The newly announced RX10 V retains the same 24-600mm equivalent f/2.4-4 Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 25x zoom lens of its last two predecessors, but it has lots of upgrades elsewhere. The new 20.1-megapixel 1-inch-type sensor is a stacked design, allowing up to 30fps continuous burst shooting without any blackout (up from the last-gen’s 24fps). That’s a nice improvement for a camera aimed at action, sports, and wildlife photography, but it will come at a steep cost of $2,299.99 when the camera launches in early August.
