I've very curious to see what they've come up with in the nine years since the RX10iv came out.
Here's the the teaser on DPR- https://www.dpreview.com/news/1313483304/sony-rx10-july-2026-announcement-teaser

One of their other teaser images shows the mode dial moved to the right of the prism and a different grip than the IV had.
Frankly, if it uses the FZ100 battery and has AF improvements, I'll likely get one. I really like the RX10 series for EDC and travel.

I'm excited for this, even if the only changes are to AF. The R10 IV is an amazing all-rounder.

They won't have to do much for it to remain the most impressive bridge camera available. It'll be interesting to see what they've packed into the new model.

If they want a home run they should do a stacked or semi-stacked sensor. Agree that this would be a killer camera for a lot of people - including birders who dont want to invest thousands on cameras and lenses

The last model had a stacked sensor. I'd be surprised if this one gets an update in that regard.

What I would really like would be an RX100viii. Pocketable marvel and if it could have a few more pixels, better EVF and the latest AF would be fantastic.

Yes, SAR are saying the lens and sensor are the same as Mk IV, just a battery and processor (for AF) improved. TBD but I may place an order even though I'd like an improvement in the imaging pipeline... I used DPR's test image to compare the Mk IV to an APSC, m43 and FF and the RX10 wasn't that great.

I wish they'd sacrifice zoom range and put a bigger sensor in it. An all-in-one with an APS-C sensor could be interesting.
But instead, I'm sure it will be as you say, minor changes and likely a (much) bigger price.

One interesting note: If you look closely at that teaser image, the lens isn't the same as the IV. It's a 24.5 to 567mm equivalent. So either it's a new lens, or it's the old lens labeled more accurately

Looking at the fine lines in the test image DPR use (the pen/ink drawing of the people looking at an easel) it just seems the smaller sensors are all blurred. So far as I recall the smaller sensor cameras all use AA filters (not sure about the APSC Sony). I wonder if they can improve these to reduce the smearing yet still prevent moiré.

I suspect the imaging will be somewhat better, if for no reason that the processing has improved in the nearly 10 years since it was released. Having used an RX10iv that my wife owns on a few occasions, it's a formidable tool for those who don't want to deal with interchangeable and large lenses. On a recent trip to Alaska, it was interesting to see shots side by side from the RX10iv and my a1ii and 300f2.8 with 1.4 and 2.0 TCs. The full frame was better, but the [relatively much] smaller RX10iv held up surprisingly well. Better coatings, better processing and current AF would ensure it remains pretty much unrivaled in the space it operates and the larger battery would be icing on the cake.

I would expect another stop of dynamic range at low iso and the ai focus and white balance.
I had a 70-350G that I used on 60mp FF. I didn’t find that I used it that often even though I have trouble imagining how you get to equivalent optical performance in a smaller package. From that perspective I think this would continue with a bit of disappointment from what I have gotten used to with FF.

I bought the Mark 3 in 2016 for about $1600, if I remember correctly.
I didn't get the Mark 4 because it didn't have enough improvements for me.
Fast forward 10 years, it's being said it uses if the same lens and sensor, it's a pass again.
On a side note, if the cameras 10 years ago were $1600-$1700, what will be the cost of this?
The a7III was $2000,(when it came out in 2018), the a7V is $2900, so the new RX10 maybe $2400?

Dave, KEH and MPB are both selling them in $3000 range. I was shocked. mk4 was my first Sony for $1600, and I thought it was rich for a bridge camera.

My last used RX10 IV, I bought it for $750. MPB would give me just north of $1800 for it today.

Any idea why the price escalated as much as it did?

My best guess is some influencer got one and started a trend. This happened much faster than I would have expected -- prices were elevated but relatively normal over the winter.

I think it got more precious to the potential user-group after they discontinued it. The absence of a new model drove up the used prices on the old. It is unique in its class.

I think what people assume is 210 could just as easily be 218, given how out of focus it is. Interesting if it is redesigned, anyway. It uses the *T coating, so, if it is a redesign and not just a more accurate label, that'll be the first new Zony lens in a while.
