This is what Sony's 'RX10 V' camera, which features a 25x zoom lens, looks like.

Sony's integrated lens camera, the ' RX10 V (DSC-RX10M5) ,' was released on July 31, 2026. The RX10 V is equipped with a 25x zoom lens equivalent to 24mm-600mm in 35mm format, allowing you to shoot from close up to long distances with a single camera. We were able to borrow the RX10 V from Sony, so we first took a detailed look at its exterior.

Here's what it looks like from a different angle. It has a large grip.

The lens has a focal length equivalent to 24mm to 600mm in 35mm format. It is equipped with a 1-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor.

On the side of the lens are the focus mode switch, focus hold button, and focus range limiter switch.

This is what it looks like when the lens is extended to its maximum length.

The back features a 3-inch touch-enabled LCD panel.

The LCD panel can be adjusted to an angle of approximately 78 degrees upwards and 48 degrees downwards relative to the back of the camera.

When you hold the camera vertically, the on-screen UI also changes to a vertical orientation.

The camera features a 0.5-inch OLED electronic viewfinder with a total of 3,686,400 dots.

The top section looks like this. The power switch is a lever that you slide left and right.

It also has a multi-interface shoe for attaching flashes and other accessories.

The left side features various ports, which are normally covered by a cover.

I opened the cover. From top to bottom, there's a microphone jack, a headphone jack, an HDMI Type-D (HDMI-micro) port, a USB Type-C port, and a Micro USB Type-B port. The USB Type-C port supports both charging and data transfer, while the Micro USB Type-B port supports data transfer only.

There are no terminals on the right side.

There is a screw hole for a tripod on the back. Additionally, there is a battery/memory card cover on the left side.

Underneath the cover are the battery slot and the memory card slot. The memory card slot supports SD cards.

The actual weight, including the battery, is 1133g.

This is what it looks like with the included strap attached.

I tried holding it with both hands. The grip is deep, allowing for a stable hold.

The RX10 V is sold at an open price, and the price at the Sony Store is 363,000 yen (tax included). On Amazon.co.jp, it can be purchased for 314,809 yen, which is cheaper than the Sony Store.

I plan to publish a review article later, where I'll be taking the RX10 V outside and taking various photos.
