For anyone who has hauled a bag of lenses on a trip or a school sports day, the appeal of one camera that reaches from a wide room shot to a distant bird is obvious. The Sony RX10 V is built around exactly that promise.

One body, wide angle to 600mm
The Sony RX10 V is the fifth model in Sony's RX10 line of all-in-one cameras. It pairs a 1.0-type stacked Exmor RS CMOS sensor, with about 20.1 effective megapixels, and the BIONZ XR processor with a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm lens, a 25x optical zoom running from F2.4 to F4.0. That single lens stretches from a wide landscape to a far-off subject with no swap in between.
The camera also adds AI-powered Real-time Recognition AF for subject tracking, and it can shoot blackout-free bursts at up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus and exposure tracking. For video it records 4K at up to 120p, and it supports 4K 30p live streaming over USB-C.
Why an all-in-one still makes sense
Fixed super-zoom cameras sit in an unusual spot now that phones handle casual snaps and interchangeable-lens bodies chase professionals. The RX10 V leans into travel, wildlife and sports, where one sealed body that reaches 600mm without a lens change is genuinely useful. A dust and moisture resistant design, Wi-Fi on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, and the newer NP-FZ100 battery, rated at about 630 shots on the LCD (roughly 50 percent or more over the RX10 IV), all point at longer days out.
For composing, there is a 0.5-type Quad-VGA OLED viewfinder with about 3.68 million dots and a 3.0-type LCD upgraded to about 1.62 million dots. New for this generation, the camera works with Sony's Creators' App for sending files and controlling the camera from a phone.
Availability and price
The RX10 V opens for order from 10 July 2026, with online orders through Sony stores and authorised dealers starting at 6pm that day. The regional early-bird pricing shared through Sony's Singapore channel is S$2,799 for the 10 to 31 July window, bundled with a free Wotancraft 3.5L sling bag valued at S$190. Malaysian pricing and availability are not confirmed in this release, so local buyers should check with Sony Malaysia stores or authorised dealers for ringgit pricing and stock.
If your photography swings from wide scenes to distant action and you would rather not carry a lens kit, the RX10 V is Sony arguing that one camera can still cover the lot.
