Sony breathes new life into the RX10 by incorporating AI autofocus, enabling 4K recording at 120fps, and enhancing the battery life.

      The device features AI that monitors birds in flight and offers 25x optical zoom without the need for lens changes.

      Sony has just updated its most popular all-in-one body camera, incorporating autofocusing AI from its professional Alpha mirrorless series.

      All the elements that made earlier versions successful remain intact, including the ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens with a range of 24mm to 600mm at F2.4 to 4.0, the 1.0-type stacked sensor, and its compact design.

      So, what’s actually new in the RX10 V?

      The new features include real-time recognition AF powered by an onboard BIONZ XR AI processor, which can automatically identify people, animals, birds, insects, cars, trains, and airplanes, enhancing the camera's performance in practical scenarios.

      In addition, it allows blackout-free continuous shooting at 30 frames per second and offers 60 AF/AE calculations per second, making it the first RX10 that can truly keep pace with a bird changing direction mid-flight.

      Moreover, video capabilities have significantly improved as well. The RX10 V can record 4K at 120 fps (with a slightly narrower field of view), whereas the RX10 IV is limited to 4K at 30 fps.

      Battery life has increased by 50% compared to the previous model, with the NP-FZ100 battery providing around 630 shots. It also features a new Quad-VGA OLED viewfinder with 3.68 million dots, aiding in clear composition even in bright sunlight (according to Sony).

      Is the $2,299 price tag justified for a bridge camera?

      That’s a valid question, particularly since the RX10 IV was priced lower at $1,699.99.

      Here’s my straightforward answer: if you engage in wildlife photography, birdwatching, sports, or travel and need a single lens that encompasses your entire range without the hassle of switching lenses often, $2,299 gets you a solution that no mirrorless kit can offer in one body.

      You are essentially paying for the convenience of not needing to lug around a heavy bag filled with multiple zoom lenses. In any case, the Sony RX10 V will be available for purchase in the United States starting August 2026.

      Sony’s RX10 series has maintained a dedicated community of photographers who prefer a single all-in-one body over a multi-lens mirrorless setup, and the RX10 V bridges the autofocus gap that previously distinguished the RX10 from Alpha cameras.

      Marshall has refreshed two of its most favored wireless speakers. The company has officially introduced the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, which bring several significant upgrades that extend beyond just increased volume. While improvements in bass and sound quality are part of the enhancements, Marshall is also making strides toward repairability, allowing users to change multiple external components instead of needing to replace the entire speaker.
