The Sony RX10 V is a 24-600mm all-in-one bridge camera built for photographers who want to shoot everything from sweeping wide-angle scenes to distant birds; wildlife; aviation and youth sports without ever swapping a lens. It pairs a bright 25x ZEISS zoom with a large 20.1MP 1-type stacked sensor; the BIONZ XR engine and a dedicated AI chip; so you get sharp; low-noise images and sticky subject tracking in one grab-and-go body. Reach further; carry less - leave with one camera and come home with every shot. Pairs well with an extra NP-FZ100 battery and a UHS-II SD card for sustained 30fps bursts and 4K video.
