Sony RX100 V: Come for the insane burst, stay for the speedy autofocus

2016-10-07
Sony's addition to its rx100 series of enthusiasts compacts gets the mark-5 designation and while there aren't a lot of changes there's one huge leap forward it gets the companies fast hybrid autofocus system the one used by Sony's higher end cameras it also claims a 24 frame per second continuous shooting speed with autofocus and auto exposure but for most people the 10 frame per second middle speed will be more than enough although shooting at the highest burst rate it makes the rx100 v feel like the world's most expensive gift generator unfortunately while it lets you run long bursts it's frustratingly not fast enough at writing those bursts or the longer high frame rate video to the card the autofocus works really well at least for the type of shooting we got to do during the Sony setup event lots of action but not a lot of it's speeding through the frame it's really a reason to choose the v over the mark for though
