I am wondering if it can be customized as a rear zoom lever.
Oh, heck. You know what it might be? The power switch.
It's not right behind the shutter button anymore.

Making those custom buttons more raised is a big help. And looks like a photo/video switch perhaps around the mode dial? Or is that new switch between the custom buttons and rear dials a photo/video switch?Oh, heck. You know what it might be? The power switch.

Also, the extra reach with the RX10 would be useful, but I am wondering if the IQ would seem ok after using the A7R series. For windsurfing photos, I usually wouldn’t print larger than 8x10, so don’t need a lot of resolution but as we know the larger sensors just have a different (better) look.
I would think you'd get some nice results. As you say, the reach is a high point.
Here's an old shot from my RX10iii at 600mm (equiv). Some atmospherics at play, but still reasonable quality.

Terribly Late RX10IV BIF Impressions:
In 2017, evaluated both RX10IV and FE 100-400 (even if I had no mirrorless FF back then). I was able to do five mostly BIF sessions with the RX10IV and more with the FE 100-400. Unfortunately I got laid off (manufacturing eng'g job went to China) and could only allocate funds for one item. I decided to keep the lens for future needs. The RX10IV was planned for business/leisure travels with birding capability. Now fully retired and getting older, I am curious on what the upcoming RX10 would bring and maybe the previous plan could be reviewed again.
To sum it up, the RX10IV was good enough for BIFs and could take small and above sized BIF subjects. As I am still reviewing samples taken during those time, can't help but process some samples. Samples were all from JPG as I was into it 99% of the time (dictated by some viewing/processing laziness). Got back into RAW+JPG only when I finally joined the mirrorless FF a few years back.
For big and slow fliers as above, no issue as details were easily captured. Issue so far was on the background - unwanted details captured by the small sensor. Need to do PS (or equivalent) blurring steps.
Background here was blurred (just basic setup at PS - select subject, inverse, use blur gallery)
Also capable of capturing small to medium subject BIFs. Same issue on the background - PS steps or against the sky or very distant land mass to minimize effect.
For small birds, could find so far flock/group flights only. Still reviewing files if individual small birds BIFs were luckily captured.

I'm pretty excited that Sony has updated the RX10 line. It gives hope that the RX100 will be updated in the near future.
It's a little disappointing that Sony didn't develop a new 1" sensor. I wonder if the RX10 V is using the RX10 IV's sensor or if it's using the RX100 VII's sensor?
All in all, I think I'll get the V. I've said on DPR and on FM in the last few years that I'll upgrade to a V if it gets USB-C, better 4K video, and the latest AI-AF features. Sony may have read my posts and did the bare minimum?!

As per Gordon's review, sensor and lens are exactly the same. Which is kinda disappointing as I was hoping that Sony would have made few advancements in 7 years that they could have incorporated.

I see some things that make me wonder if Mr. Galer is still using Topaz...these are very clearly heavily worked on in post.

I’m mixed. Disappointed they didn’t use their own new sensor tech. Wish it had pre-capture. Happy you can upload and embed LUTs. Definitely glad for the upgraded battery life and EVF.
That said, as a secondary camera, I can more easily see myself looking for a used RX10 IV, if the prices become sane again. The first time I bought one, I paid $900. 🤡

From the DPR review. Not exactly clear but if Sony said it's the same lens .... ?
"Sony says it’s the same lens as on the RX10 IV but CIPA standards for reporting focal length have apparently changed in the meantime, meaning it’s quoted as a 9.1-210mm zoom, rather than the 8.8-220mm figures printed on the side of the previous two models. We suspect the figures now quoted are the literal focal lengths, rather than the effective focal lengths after corrections has been applied. The end result is the same, though: a 24-600mm equiv range with an F2.8-4.0 maximum aperture and in-lens stabilization."
