Sony RX10 V Rumored Specifications, Announcement in late 2022
Sony is rumored to release the new Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 V ultra-telephoto fixed-lens camera by the end of 2022. The biggest improvement of this camera is the addition of AI and computational photography technology. In addition, the Sony RX10 V camera has improved ergonomic design, removal of the on-camera flash, uses an NP-FZ100 battery (a6600 battery), and has the same lens as its predecessor (equivalent to 35mm focal length of 24-600mm). In terms of continuous shooting, the camera can achieve high-speed continuous shooting at 24 frames per second with blackout free EVF.

Currently, the market for integrated lens cameras is significantly smaller than before, but Panasonic, Nikon, and Canon still have a lineup of large integrated lens cameras equipped with high-power zoom, so Sony is still in this category. If the specs are as rumored, the new Sony RX10 V model is likely to be a normal evolution model that uses AI technology.
The current Sony RX10 IV is a bridge camera (a non-compact camera with a fixed lens) equipped with a 1-inch stacked CMOS sensor that supports image plane phase detection AF.
