Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V Black
The stacked 20.1MP 1-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor with DRAM enables 24 fps continuous shooting and a 0.05-second autofocus lock, making it exceptionally fast for a compact camera. The precision Vario-Sonnar T* Zeiss lens and a rotating touch LCD with a retractable OLED viewfinder offer versatile composition tools in a 272g body. This camera is best for street and travel photographers who need a pocketable body that doesn't sacrifice 4K HDR video or rapid burst capture.
