Is the sony rx10 v good for street photography?

The Sony RX10 V can work for street, mainly because its lens does a lot of the job. Its 8.8-220mm lens frames like 24-594mm on full frame, so you can stay back and still get tight candids, and f/2.4 at the wide end helps in dim streets. Its 1-inch sensor is a step up from a phone.

I'd still check its size and weight in person before you buy. Street says small and quiet beats megapixels, and a fixed zoom this long is a different kind of carry than a pocket camera. If you want something lighter, a small APS-C camera with one prime lens is often the easier street kit. See Sensor sizes.

Whatever you shoot with, be open about what you're doing and delete a frame if someone asks. The street page has more on that.
