Sony is rumored to launch its next premium digital compact camera later this year and it is expected to be called Sony Rx100 V.

We are receiving several reports that the company is actively working on a Nikon DL 24-85 competitor. The camera on the horizon could be the fifth in the Sony RX100-series model which provides approximately the same focal range.

Sony RX100 Mark IV is a small traditional lightweight digital compact camera with 4K video recording capabilities. Sources are claiming that the upcoming Sony RX100 V camera will have a new sensor with Hybrid Phase AF points that supports very fast AF speed.
