Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
(Maybe I should also preface this w/: this my 1st mirrorless camera, I'm a DSLR shooter, primarily photo's)
(My quality comparisons are coming from having a Canon 70D w/Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8)
My most used time with this: most footage ever recorded was from my 3 day trip on the Timberline Trail in Oregon. I came home with - 1hr 34min 44's of video. Total of 33.6GB of data. 175 video clips and about 15 photo's. Ran through the 3 batteries I took multiple times and only drained my 10,000 mah Anker to 50%, that is fantastic. Shooting only 1080p @30p 50mbps. Take that into consideration when looking at the battery life section.
I purchased this camera back in February of this year, specifically for backpacking vloggitty stuff, this camera is absolutely a winner. My review is mostly based on the video side of this camera, which IMO, is this camera primary use. (Note: I do not color grade the footage, I prefer the image SOOC, with manual controls, manual white balance.) First off this camera has the ability to shoot 4K at up to 30p 100mbps. The 4K image is stellar, sharp, very detailed and color is great. This camera does have the ability to shoot S-log which has pretty incredible dynamic range. 4K does have a 5 min limit, but personally with the way I film this is a non issue. Backpacking videos require video/clips no longer than a minute. I mainly shoot 1080p at 30p 50mbps, this footage is the easiest for me personally to work with. Even the 1080p image is very clear, I like the contrast this camera produces in video. No noticeable aliasing, very apparent w/my 70D. Again I'm a photographer 1st.
THINGS I LOVE:
Full manual controls:
I can control every setting I need to, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, WB and the ND filter, excellent.
Video image quality:
It's great, want an ex. Youtube: Backpacking the Timberline Trail: 40.4 Miles
Build quality:
This camera is mostly metal, built like a tank, protruding/telescoping lens is very delicate. 1 drop, game over.
Battery life:
Is a big one, not really sure which category this should go under. Really is goes under both. For me, this is not an issue.You can maybe get 20-30 min of total 1080p record time out of 1 battery. This is pretty close to what I've come to expect, which for how I use it, is excellent. On trail I would only go through about 2-3 batteries day. If i'm just going hiking I'm taking my full set-up, 10,000 mah Anker battery, 3 camera batteries (1 in the camera, 1 in my charger and 1 on standby ready to swap. Throw the battery in my camera into the charger, fresh battery in my camera, boom shooting again.)
Size/Form factor:
I love the size, it fits in my pa'lante packs shoulder strap pocket, will fit nicely in a coat pocket.
The JPEG's:
(I am a photographer who shoots RAW and edits every image. "This hurts to say I can't access these RAW files") I shoot with a Canon 70D, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 ART and 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II and Nikon D810 w/35mm & 85mm. My version of lightroom does not open them, 10 months later this is an issue, solely on my part, I do not use CC. Will be going to CC in the near future. With that all taken in to consideration, I have the jpg's, I edit the jpg's and they look pretty good, I guess, for a jpg. I do shoot this camera RAW+JPEG so when I figure out the problem, problem determined, I can unleash the full potential of the RAW files. (NOTE: all attached images are jpg's SOOC,that I then edited in lightroom.)
THINGS I DON'T LOVE:
The screen:
The screen itself is wonderful, ex. when vlogging w/ this camera, over time though the screen has developed a scratch line, horizontally, across the entire screen where a piece of metal sticks out. Doesn't affect camera usage but, the piece of metal serves zero function other than housing the release of the pop-up flash. Something to be aware of.
The bottom of the camera:
All plastic. One of the most, if not THE most, important parts of the camera, the battery door, is extremely thin, cheap and frankly crap quality. It has some play once opened, if it was in your pocket and not shut properly could snap off with ease. Take extreme caution w/ the battery door. The weight of the camera alone could snap it off.
Nitpicking:
The EVF, again, personally I do not use it, but could be better. The refresh rate inside in not very good, in real world use though, you will not really notice. Unless you use/coming from a higher end mirrorless.
Battery life:
Here's where battery life is laughable and really disappointing. If you shoot slo-mo, you shoot 4k or 1080p @120p the battery life in absolutely atrocious. You can expect a full, fresh battery to get you just maybe 10 min total record time of 4K, maybe 5-6 min of slo-mo (240p or 480p.) And 1080p @120p is much better but still probably less than 20 min.
Build quality:
I only mention this here, due to the delicate nature of the lens. When the lens is out, if you drop this camera, you just lost/wasted $999. Cannot stress this enough. When camera is off, folding screen tucked in and you drop it, it may survive.........once. Never dropped, I take extra care of this camera, but the potential in there
Any questions? Let me know.

Any questions? Let me know.
I have used this product for about one month. This camera is the best point and shoot I have ever owned. I usually shoot with a DSLR camera. I came from shooting on a full frame camera. I must say that the imaging on this camera is very good. I can't really compare it to my Canon 5D Mark III head to head. However the lens and compact camera body are very high quality for a compact. Being able to shoot at apertures from 1.8 to f11 is pretty good for a camera of this size. Having a focal range of 24-70 is limiting, but the image quality is very good. ISO range is from 100-12,800. I have not tried shooting very slow shutter speed or quick shutter speeds. I do know you are able to shoot at shutter speeds of 32,000. This camera can also shoot a very fast burst rate of 24 fps up to 150 images then starts to slow down. There is now 315 points of focus using phase detection. The autofocus is very quick at 0.5 seconds. I primarily used this camera for photography. The view finder is small, but very usable. It is able to show 2.35 million dots of resolution. I did try using the video features and I was very happy with the video quality. I used 1080p at 60 frames. I used the xavcs format utilizing the 50 MB/second data speed. I refrained from using 4K because of the 5 minute cut off. Also I do not shoot to much in 4K. The HD 1080p was more than satisfactory for me. I give this camera 5 stars because I think it is one of the best cameras of 2016 in a compact body.
My one note to potential buyers is to take note of my experience with Amazon on this purchase, the box arrived and appeared new, but inside was a Sony RX100, the original. Clearly, I was sold an open box item that someone had replaced the RX100VA with an RX100 in hopes it wouldn't be noticed and returned it to Amazon where they promptly listed the item as new, not as a used/open box item with a discount. Amazon accepted my return and provided a full refund, however, I missed out on being able to use the camera for a weekend event I ordered rush shipping to use it for and I now shop elsewhere for all expensive electronic equipment since I cannot trust that was I buy on Amazon is actually a new unopened product.

With the latest generation Sony RX100V, the answer is: Absolutely, yes! The image quality is excellent and can hold its own even compared to cameras with bigger sensors. The sensor has a remarkable dynamic range and the high ISO noise levels are comparable to full frame cameras a few years back the likes of a Nikon D700. And that's not bad!
Overall I would not be afraid to publish photos out of the RX100V in any high-gloss magazine in any size. The image quality is good enough for any professional work.
The camera has an overwhelming amount of functions for both still and video imagery. Fortunately, the camera can be customized to your taste and skill level. The menu system is cumbersome, but once you set the camera up to your liking, menus hardly have to be accessed. New in this version of the camera - and the main reason I bought it - is the ability to customize your own menu, which allows me to only see the functions I really need.
The pop-up viewfinder is fantastic and unique for a camera is compact. The camera is really hard on the battery, so plan to buy 2-3 extras to get you through a full day of shooting.
The other two items to get for this camera are:
a) the additional hand grip, which Sony should include in the first place.
b) a third party filter adapter which allows you to add filters like a polarizer. The Sony filter adapter does NOT work for this camera (it vignettes). Buy the Lensmate or Magfilter adapters.
Now, before you shell out the cash for this rather expensive camera, you should keep in mind that the camera does not take the photos. You do. If you go to many image forums, you will find many bad and average photos taken with the Sony RX100 series. The reason for that is that people believe the sheer amount of functions in those little cameras can compensate for a lack of talent. They can't. If you are a novice or beginner, you should also set aside some money to take a camera course.
Pedí esta que dice M5 y me llegó la M5A, que tiene unas cuantas mejoras en comparación a la M5 y es más reciente. Fue un buen punto.
La cámara permite tomar muy buenas fotos aun si eres principiante. Tiene muchísimas funciones por lo que fue necesario revisar algunos videos que me ayudaran a entender los menus un poco mejor.
Comparado con mi celular (Galaxy S9) toma mucho mejores fotos con mucho más detalle, la integración con la app es muy buena y puedes pasar las fotos al celular muy rápido para compartirlas.
