Product Reviews

Only just started using the camera, but so far really pleased with the results

Due to health issues I had to sell my Photographic equipment as I was unable to carry all the lenses and often found I had brought the wrong one with me. I tried a bridge camera but was frustrated by the limited oppertunities for creative photography. I decided to buy the RX100V despite its very high price tag. The camera has exceeded my expectations in every respect and worth the price. My only negative comment is that the on-line manual was rather hard to find as searching the Sony web site for downloads relevant to this camera produced a manual that was not relevant to this model. Once I found the correct manual it is very comprehensive.

Bought as a replacement for a sadly flooded RX100 IV takes high quality UW photos and video in an underwater camera. Improved menu over the previous MK IV

Purchased a few weeks ago and its an absolute pleasure to have an RX again after a couple of years without a good camera. I've been using my Sony Xperia 1 mk6 which itself is a fantastic camera but the RX is a real camera and one up on the Xperia 1 V1

Had this camera for several years now (use it to record fish catches) and it has served me well. Its younger brother, the MkI, died a few years ago (the fixed lens would not operate properly anymore). This camera appears a little more sturdy and certainly gives nice results.

Very good but swapped for a vi two years ago because of the extra telephoto

Excellent small camera with plenty of features and easy to use

I bought this camera 4 years ago and have been very happy with it. We took it to all around the world, even use it underwater during scuba diving (inside Fantasea housing)! The quality of pictures and video is great. Could not be any happier with the purchase.

Excellent results. The electronic viewfinder is good. You get what you pay for!

I bought this camera a few weeks ago after reading some reviews of its capabilities. Often reviews can sometimes be a bit over enthusiastic either in praise or criticism. I have found that far from exaggerating the cameras capabilities the reviews were spot on. I had been using my iPhone for much of my unplanned photography since it was always with me. I have found that smartphone cameras are incredible for what they are, they are nowhere near good enough for what I needed. This camera is just right. Small enough to have with me constantly but with top drawer capability. Quick and easy to use and with a build quality one would expect from Sony.

Everything I needed and more! Built in ND filter is an absolute bonus! Recommended!

i bought this 13+ months ago and initially i was very happy with it, no doubt the photo quality is superb, however during CNY when i want to use it to take family photo it's not functioning at all, the lens keep zooming in and out, the screen is dark, i have to take out the battery to stop this happen, when i call to the shop i was informed that the warranty period is 13 month, and this happen right after warranty period!!! i'm very very disappointed as i spent 3.2k in this camera and i expect it comes with good quality and durability, i hardly use it except special occasion or festive season, never drop the camera and get in touch with water, but still there is problem with camera. i'm very disappointed and i used to recommend this camera but now i wont do so with such quality. some more next month i'm going to oversea and i'm frustrated that i may not have camera to use to capture the special moment.

Bought this camera with non transferable store credit and so happy that I did. I use a Sony A7iii for my day to day work and although it can’t compete with G master glass this tiny little camera can almost go head to head. I will be taking trekking in Nepal in place of the larger camera. Amazing camera for its size and super stylish with the Sony leather (look) case

Took advice from a close friend who owns a Mk III and recommended it over the Panasonic equivalent based on the fast lens. Glad I listened to him. Very well made - feels like a high end piece of equipment .Exceptional image quality, especially in low light - flash is hardly needed. No need to carry around a DSLR. Ideal balance between being a compact size and offering high performance. Totally satisfied with the purchase.

love having a pocket rocket as fun camera to carry rather than my DSLR all the time. Was hoping to add timelapse app but been informed by support team that this is no possible.

I am so impressed by the capability of this small camera - perfect for an amateur like me. Perfect size and weight and it is non intrusive and discreet for parties and wedding photos but will take marvellous architecture photographs.

Bought this for my underwater activities. Really amazing. Now want to learn to use it for vlogging also.

The features are good over all but little are improved over Rx100M3

It's served me well for many months. However it would be nice if the camera is more resistant to sweat and damp environments as I often use this camera on the go especially when I'm running in parks or in the city or hiking in the jungle

Not had this camera long but very happy with the results I've had, expensive but well worth it you you want the best results.

Bought this camera after hearing good reviews. All u need in one compact body.

Two weeks after purchase amazed at so much technology packedinto such a small camera. Quality is awesome.

Upgraded from RX100 IV after sold it and felt empty and sad so I bought RX100 V

this is my fifth sony rx100 camera, I've had them all, and actually have the vi now too. Of all of them, the V hasn't been up to par. Flash stopped working within a few weeks whereas my iii took over 200,000 pictures before I had any issues and by then it was several years old. Also the viewfinder goes all crazy with colored lines and fuzz. Need to figure out how to get it in while it's under warranty and get it fixed.

Extremely impressed with its features. Super fast focus!

Just bought a week ,need to send back to repair ,very dissapointed with tis camera.

This camera is ideal for carrying around easily. It has so many features that it will take a while to explore them all and learn how to use it correctly. The photos I have taken so far are excellent quality.

I bought this camera because of its size and easy for me to carry while travelling. I can capture great picture with this sony. Most importantly, it can fit in my pocket.

Very happy for street snap picture and very small take

One month with RX100V, it is very easy to take a lot of photo. I can share camera with my daughter and enjoy every trip.

Already owner of a Sony RX100, I've found the same picture quality with the Sony RX100 V I definitely recommend this camera, you can not be disappointed.

Bought last month end coz plan to go for 2 weeks holiday but doesn’t want to burden myself with the heavy DSLR & lens. It really light and I can shoot with my own setting. The results were fanstastic. Love the lens so much. The only downside is the battery can’t last too long. Luckily I got extra free battery at the time I bought. :)

the flash and the viewfinder are flimsy and difficult to use.

I used to have a larger digital camera and every time you saw a special shot, the camera was not to hand. Then the smartphone started to cope with the instant shots. The RX100V is perfect and has given me the bandwidth to take the shots that I used to only consider with a larger camera. Worth buying the leather case as well to save that endless unpacking/ packing. I do not leave home without it ( work and play).

I have had the camera just about a month and already I have problem with it I’ve had to take it back into store for the camera shutter to be fixed which I’m extremely annoyed about, I buy Sony for a reason and didn’t expect that to happen seems like a common problem with this camera

Many of the feature do not know how to used, prefer to have a training.

Only had for one day so cannot comment at this moment in time, only negative is that I had to purchase a grip for the camera at extra cost as the camera was difficult to hold. I have read many reviews regarding this matter.

I wanted to have a small camera I could carry with me all the time so I could occasionally leave the big one at home. So far after a couple of weeks it is working out as I hoped, but with so many functions I think I still have a long way to go to understand all of the things I can do with it. I particularly wanted it for landscapes and quck family pictures and it seems good for that. I hoped to do sports and macro as well, but haven’t really had time to try these out yet.

I bought the product 1 day ago. First impression is good

I purchased this camera last year and loved it. Then a new model was supposed to come out and I sold it. Received the new model and realized I made a mistake. Returned the new model and re-ordered the RX100 V. Excellent pictures and very fast. Love it!

As expected from SONY, a high quality, well featured camera that is extremely convenient and can produce some brilliant images. Over 60 years, I have owned all sorts of point-and-shoot to high-end cameras and it is impossible to find a perfect balance in one camera between ease of portability and range of features/focal-length but this comes close. The pop-up viewfinder is a brilliant (and necessary) feature for certain light conditions and handling dioptre adjustment but is a bit flimsy and I am concerned how it will stand up to long-term use but other than that, it does exactly what I expected and I am enjoying ownership!

Bought this for the times I don't want to carry my Nikon SLRs around. Still getting to know all the features, but happy so far with results.

I bought this wee gem a few weeks ago to replace my mirrorless Panasonic G8, i was fed up carrying all the gear around so wanted something that could do most of the things my 4/3 camera could do and this does it in spades. I may have given up a bit of telephoto range but have an amazing small zoom the is F1:1.8, terrific.

Bought to use as a carry around when DSLR and lenses can be heavy and obtrusive. It is an excellent camera.

I bought this for a trip to Sydney. The pictures turned out beautiful!

I'd been having an argument with myself about buying one of these for many months and, now I have taken the plunge, I couldn't be more happy. It's reasurringly weighty and oozes quality. I've only tried a few of the function so far, but the pictures have been excellent. The battery life is generous and the speed of lens and write to card are both superb. I take it with me everywhere.

I wanted to replace my Canon compact and having fully researched on line came to the conclusion that the RX100M5 was the best. Now that I have it, I feel confident it is. One month later they come up with the mark 6.

Fantastic camera Learning how to use the menus is very important.It can be complicated. I would recommend that you get to know all the menus and settings before starting to use the camera

I needed a small “pocket camera” for hill walking and cycling holidays that offered the features of a good SLR and the convenience of a phone camera. The Rx100M5 fits the brief perfectly and the image quality is amazing for such a tiny camera.

I bought the RX100MK5 few weeks ago and so far has been very satisfied with the performance, picture quality and features. In fact more features than my DSLR. The small compact size is ideal for travel and shooting street photography, and where bulky DSLR is not convenient.
