Sony rx10 v vs sony rx10 iv?

Both cameras share the same lens, 8.8-220mm f/2.4-4, which frames like 24-600mm on full frame, and the same 1-inch sensor. The differences are in the newer body. The Sony RX10 V was announced in 2026 and adds a stacked sensor, a faster processor and newer autofocus. Its resolution is 20 megapixels, against the Sony RX10 IV's 20.1, which won't change much in practice.

If you shoot fast action, wildlife or anything where focus speed matters, I'd pick the RX10 V. If you mostly shoot landscapes or travel and find the IV noticeably cheaper, it still gives you the same reach and lens. For the bigger picture on compacts like these, see Your first camera.
