Reason to buy: You want the best point-and-shoot there is

DPReview.

With latest cameras major review sites turned into some new marketing department of camera manufacturers. They literally want to push camera into your throat.

White Knight Press has just released Photographer’s Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100 V, a full-color, 246-page guide book covering all features and operations of the RX100 V compact digital camera.

This book is a complete guide to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 V camera, one of the most advanced, but still pocketable, cameras available. With this book, author Alexander White provides users of the RX100 V with a manual covering all aspects of the camera’s operation. Using a tutorial-like approach, the book shows beginning and intermediate photographers how to take still images and record video with the RX100 V, and explains when and why to use the camera’s many features.

The book provides details about the camera’s automatic and advanced shooting modes as well as its menu options for shooting, playback, setup, and using Wi-Fi connections with in-camera apps.

The book has nearly 500 color photographs that illustrate the camera’s controls, display screens, and menus. The images also provide examples of photographs taken using the RX100 V’s Scene mode, with settings optimized for subjects such as landscapes, sunsets, portraits, and action shots; and the Creative Style and Picture Effect menu options, with settings that alter the appearance of images.

The book also provides introductions to topics such as street photography, astrophotography, infrared photography, and digiscoping.

The book includes a full discussion of the video features of the RX100 V, which can shoot HD and 4K (ultra-HD) movies, and which offers manual control of exposure and focus during movie recording. The book explains the camera’s numerous features that are useful for professional-level videography, including Picture Profiles that allow adjustment of settings such as gamma curve, black level, knee, and detail. The book provides detailed information about recording 4K video to an external video recorder using the “clean” video output from the camera’s HDMI port.

The paperback version is available now for $24.95 ($9.91 for Kindle) in the United States through https://www.amazon.com/Photographers-Guide-Sony-DSC-RX100-Pocketable-ebook/dp/B01NAGS8P9/. The book is also available in PDF format and in downloadable versions for the Kindle, Nook, and iPad. More details are available at http://whiteknightpress.com

Review

The RX100 IV was already an exceptionally capable video shooter, providing for both 4K ultra-high definition recording and up to a maximum capture rate of 1,000 frames per second at reduced resolution. Sony RX100 V follows with improvements on both fronts.

When shooting 4K video you have access to the same new hybrid autofocus system used for still imaging. Also, 4K footage is captured with almost the full sensor width, without any line skipping or pixel binning. This means that the video is coming off the sensor at higher than 4K resolution, and then being downsampled to its final output resolution. And it's not by a small margin, either: 4K video is effectively oversampled by about 1.7 times. And compared side-by-side with 4K footage from the RX100 IV, the Sony RX100 Mark V's output is noticeably wider-angle at the same focal length.

I just traded in my mk 1 for a V but see these little stabiliser jumps when shooting 4k (there are a couple towards the middle of the clip). I don't have these issues with my GH4 (which is also in-lens stabilisation only, and potentially a lot more focal length).
