If you’ve ever lugged three lenses to a wildlife shoot or a school sports day, Sony just handed you a reason to leave them all at home. The Japanese giant has launched the RX10 V in India — the fifth generation of its all-in-one bridge camera line — and it’s built for people who want serious reach without carrying a serious bag.
The headline feature is its ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm lens, a 25x optical zoom that swings from sweeping landscapes to distant wildlife without a single lens swap. Pair that with AI-powered Real-time Recognition autofocus and blackout-free 30fps burst shooting, and you’ve got a camera that’s genuinely built to chase unpredictable moments — a bird taking flight, a sprinter crossing the line, a kid mid-goal.

Built for Video Creators Too
It’s not just a stills camera flexing its zoom muscles. The RX10 V shoots 4K at 120p for smooth slow-motion, supports up to 16 user LUTs for colour grading, and even auto-frames your subject during recording using the same AI engine that powers its autofocus. Add digital audio support via the Multi Interface Shoe, and it’s a surprisingly capable hybrid tool for anyone shooting both photos and video on the same outing.
If you’re comparing this against other recent camera and gadget launches before deciding what to add to your kit, TechnoSports has been tracking the latest tech drops worth putting side by side with the RX10 V.
At nearly Rs. 2.5 lakh, this isn’t an impulse buy — but for hobbyists who don’t want to choose between a telephoto and a walk-around lens, it’s one camera doing the work of several.
