Sony RX100 V Sensor Review : Impressive Speed

Sony RX100 V sensor review and test results published by DxOMark. The premium compact camera achieved a score of 73 and offers very good image quality.

The high-end digital camera maintains a 20.1-megapixel 1-inch Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor and 24-70mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens. It also adds phase-detection AF to achieve focus speeds as fast as 0.05 sec.

According to DxOMark, the RX100 V sensor packs plenty of resolution for detailed shots. The peak Portrait and Landscape scores recorded at base ISO 80 aren’t far off the results for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds cameras.

Sony RX100 V Sensor Gets DxOMarked

From DxOMark Conclusion

“The upgrades to Sony’s RX100 V autofocus and burst shooting frame rate are welcome improvements for photographers after a high-performance compact. Its incredible 24fps frame rate with full autofocus and exposure tracking. not to mention its ability to capture up to 150 RAW and JPEG files, is some impressive high-speed shooting. The new 315-point autofocus should improve focus tracking, too. Image quality hasn’t improved over the Mark IV, but it’s still very good for a compact camera. If you can shoot outdoors or in good lighting conditions at low ISO sensitivities, both color and dynamic range are excellent. The noise is respectable up to ISO 800. If high-quality low-light photography is important, however, the higher levels of noise above ISO 800 might be disappointing. It may require some smoothing in post-production for better results.”
