  • I bought this camera July of 2017. It has been an overall great travel camera for me. Compact size when bringing my DSLR or mirrorless 3/4 was just too much hassle. The only problem I found was the camera got turned on in the case. Completely depleting the battery. This happened every so often. I couldn’t see how I could prevent it seeing as it was inside the case when it happens.The last time I went to turn it on and nothing. I was super upset that I was missing vacation photos because the camera wouldn’t turn on or charge. I tried replacing the battery but it’s completely dead. Well I loved it while it lasted.
  • This camera deserves a in depth review, so here it is. Having 10 months w/the camera.(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 MilesBuild 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 thereAny questions? Let me know.
  • Second update May 11, 2017The long and short of it is that the photos it can take are good, wish there was a hot shoe for flash, but the video portion has a focus problem locking on the background and not changing. So for 1000 dollars if your getting this for photos, I would give it 3.5 stars because of its cost and lackluster flash, for video I give the camera a 2.5 stars for the mikes picking up a lot of internal noise and the focus issues.So I have finally calmed down from my auto focus hysteria. To give this camera a more fair review at this point I do find that it can take some nice photos. The video quality is superior to the ax53, at least in low light. That is due to the larger sensor in the rx100 v. Lets talk some pros and consPro1. better than the sony ax53 in terms of quality (sensor) and adjustment options2. compact3. its photos are almost as good as the nikon d3300 with a 35mm prime lens attached.4. Taking photos the focus can be blazing fast, sometimesCons1. Not that compact, its not a ax53, but it is a fatty and putting it in your pocket is asking to bend the blades covering the lens2. Battery life is okay, not great3. The focus and I will get back to this4. Audio issues5. I am not a fan of the built in flash and think it needs to be replaced with a hot shoeSo the focus on this camera seems to be a hit or miss. Sometimes this camera will just stay locked on a background and not move at all. It also has an odd focus pulse you will see in videos sometimes where the focus seems to be constantly recatching the subject and it is jarring to see. The focus is simply hit or miss the focus pulsating sucks for video.The audio issues are this. No audio jack, no hot shoe. You may say that this is unfair considering the real estate on the camera has already been taxed to the gills, but i argue that they should replace the built in flash with a hot shoe and put the audio port on the side, but then people could complain that there 1000 dollar compact has no flash so its not compact anymore.That would be okay too, but there are significant audio issues as well. There is a way around this though. So if you put your ear to the camera and listen, you will hear the humming and clunking sounds the camera is making while running. When you go to take video, if you are holding the camera with your fingers anywhere near the audio recorders (the 2 tiny holes next to the flash) the camera will pick up its own internal sounds quite loudly. Which means you have to hold the camera without being near those ports. And also dont have silence occur, then the camera will also pick up on the sound in the camera.All in all is this camera worth it? Well it is 1000 dollars, for that money i can get a nikon d300, a prime lens and a sb-600 bounce flash and take better photos for 300 dollars less. In my opinion this cmaera would be great at the 700-800 dollar price point, but 1000 dollars and its flaws makes it hard to justify. I will attach photos i have taken here shortly. As always, it depends on your needs. In my case i plan to keep the camera because for having a simple point and shoot near the quality of the nikon with prime lens, while shooting in auto mode is nice. I am working on the focus pulse while doing video.update march 30th 2017I decided to give this camera one more chance and bought it again since i tried the ax53 and the issue with the ax53 is the small sensor and lack of control on the adjustments and being unable to have presets. So I told myself, maybe the rx100 v i got was a lemon.Alas, the same issue of this camera wanting to hang on the background focus despite how much space an object takes up in frame. For whatever reason the focus is killing this camera for me. Another reviewer also mentioned this issue as well so it does not seem to be a user error. If i happened to have gotten a second lemon, that is unfortunate because i have to give up on the rx100 line as a result.IF SONY IS WATCHING, take the sensor and adjustment options and ability of presets in the rx100 v and put them in the next generation ax53 and I will buy 2 of them.ORIGINAL REVIEWThis review needs to be here. I may have gotten a lemon, but the auto focus on this thing is SLOW. I got this for that blazing fast focus for video and such, and I watched youtube videos showing how quickly this can focus. I was excited to try it out only to find that the auto focus basically may never catch the target or change focus from what you had prior.I went into my room with the lights on, four cffl bulbs un covered and overhead. I pointed the camera at the wall about 10 feet away, and then put my hand in the shot, I was lucky if it focused within 10 seconds, certaintly not half a second. I tried this with varying distances, and settings but the focus was not that super quick speed they promised, not at all. To be fair, it was not always slow, sometimes the auto focus was quick, but most of the time it was not.But the auto focus was not the only disapointment with this camera. It seems that many of the features and settings are locked up and figuring out how to unlock them is a real poor use of your time when hunting thru the menu to find the ways to disable certain settings in order to access said features. And finally, because the camera would randomly just shut the camera off, even though I was not shooting any 4k or anything really. It seems randomly turning off is a feature now?I know this review is salty, but for 1070 dollars after taxes, the advertised auto focus needs to be at least somewhat near its advertised speed.
  • I\'m super glad Sony keeps selling the older model rx100s, especially because they made the lens crappier (slower) after this model. I also got it for the 960fps video, which I\'m using for some latency measurements on video screens, but overall it\'s just a great camera, my second rx100. Kind of mostly fits in a pocket.
