Sony RX10V

1 July 2026 · Launch Rumour

Sony Alpha Rumors and Camera Insider are both pointing to two Sony announcements in July — the RX10 V bridge camera early in the month, followed by a new Cinema Line body mid-month. The cinema camera is widely referred to as the FX5, though Camera Insider called it the FX4, so the final name isn't settled. Rumoured specs for the cinema body include a 16MP stacked global shutter sensor, 5K up to 240fps, and 5K 3:2 open gate recording with full-sensor phase-detection autofocus. All specs unconfirmed.

Sony Alpha Rumors has the RX10V pegged for a July 9 announcement. Per the source, it's a light refresh of the nine-year-old RX10 IV formula: same 24-600mm lens, same sensor, but a new chip for faster processing and better AF, and a switch to the NPFZ100 battery.

Sony's RX10 V arrives nine years after the RX10 IV with the same 24-600mm f/2.4-4.0 zoom and a 20MP 1-inch stacked sensor Sony describes only as 'updated'. The top-plate LCD is gone, replaced by Alpha-style command dials and a joystick, and the grip has been reworked. DRAM is no longer referenced in Sony's spec sheet for the new model.

DPReview's studio test of the Sony RX10 V finds Raw image quality essentially unchanged from the 2017 RX10 IV — same 20MP stacked Type 1 sensor, same detail and noise at base ISO. JPEG output is a different story: colour rendering is noticeably more accurate, with better skin tones and more balanced vibrancy across the board.
