Sony RX10 V vs RX10 IV
Same 24-600mm lens, same 20.1MP sensor — after a 9-year wait, what did Sony actually change?
Sony RX10 V (2026)Choose the Sony RX10 V if…
You want the real generational leap on the same lens and sensor size — 575-point AI subject recognition (human/animal/bird/insect/vehicle) instead of older tracking, 30fps blackout-free bursts, properly oversampled 4K60p 10-bit video (plus 4K120p slow-motion), a much bigger and sharper EVF, and roughly 50% more battery life. Built for wildlife, sports, and serious video work.
An RX10 IV still works well if…
You already own one — it still delivers the same 24-600mm reach and 20.1MP stills that made the series popular, and autofocus speed or 4K oversampling isn't critical to your work. It also keeps one thing the V dropped: a built-in pop-up flash. Sony no longer sells it new; it's now a used/secondhand-only option.
