Sony RX100 Mark VA

Sony Cybershot RX100 Mark 5A - Staying on top and ahead of its class
The range of cameras that took the already competitive enthusiast compact camera range up another notch has a new member, the Sony RX100 Mark 5A. The same high level of imaging quality is on offer as previous models, with a superb 20.1MP 1-inch sensor responsible for the capture of images, that promise to be exceptional in all lighting conditions. At the front of the camera is a familiar high-performance 2.9x zoom lens, with a 24-70mm equivalent range and f1.8-2.8 maximum aperture - this is a superbly versatile lens that will serve you well, day in, day out.

This latest addition to the growing family, the RX100 5A boats various upgrades and new features. The revised BIONZ X performs around 1.8X faster and promises better noise control and finer image detail. Eye-AF has been enhanced due to this new processor, being faster and more accurate, able to perform satisfactorily in more trying situations. Continuous shooting capability has also been focused on in the Mark 5A, with the maximum number of images in continuous shooting mode increased to 233 (when mode set to 'Hi' and quality set to 'Fine').

Externally, the RX100 Mark 5A features the same slimline, classic design as its predecessors, with a bright, pop-up 2.36 million dot electronic viewfinder and a tilting 3 inch LCD screen on board to help you compose your photos and videos. This flexibility allows you to accurately frame your shots, even at the most difficult angle and makes taking a pleasing selfie all the more simple.

With fast speed features that rival modern Digital SLR cameras, the RX100 Mark 5A can shoot at a continuous rate of up to 24 frames per second, utilising 325 phase-detection AF points - which can reportedly lock onto your subject in just 0.05 seconds! These numbers all add up to the camera being able to stop even the fastest moving subject, dead in its tracks. The phase-detection autofocus can also be put into action when filming video, which is of Ultra-high 4K resolution.
