Sony RX100 V And Sony RX100 VA Review

For some months now Sony has been selling the 2016 RX100 V with a new processor under the same model name, but with an RX100M5A model number supplemented by an “A”.

While Sony is sticking to the previous model name RX100 V, many dealers call the new model the DSC-RX100 VA for better differentiation, which we want to follow in this test for simplicity’s sake. But before we go on to the actual test, let’s briefly summarize the new features.

The switch to the more powerful auxiliary processor (it concerns the front-end LSI) had a very simple reason: the old one was no longer available as a component and Sony had to react. The new front-end LSI of the Sony Alpha 9 was used quite pragmatically. As a result, the RX100 VA has a larger serial image buffer which, according to the data sheet, can now buffer 233 instead of the previous 150 images at a fast 24 frames per second.

As before, even the autofocus and the exposure are adjusted. This should work even better with the new model.

In addition, the RX100 VA features the newer Sony menu design, which has an advantage but also a disadvantage. The new menu is a little clearer and also offers the “My Menu”, which offers quick access to preferred menu functions in a central location.

However, the PlayMemories camera apps, with which the first generation of the RX100 V could be expanded to include recording and image processing functions, have been omitted. In addition, the automatic white balance now offers three options with standard, ambient light, and white.

The autofocus, on the other hand, has been extended by the zone function and the exposure metering offers different sized spot metering fields including measurement on the lights.

Another practical feature of the new menu is the ability to rate images directly in the camera. Videographers can look forward to the proxy function, which not only records 4K videos but also 720p videos in parallel. HDR videos (HLG or Hybrid Log-Gamma), on the other hand, are still reserved for the zoom-enhanced RX100 VI. A lot of innovations.

 

Ergonomics And Workmanship

The Sony DSC-RX100 VA is almost tiny for its relatively large 1″ sensor (13.2 x 8.8 millimeters), at least for a compact camera, and its fast lens. The case measures only ten times six times 2.5 centimeters; in addition, there is the lens tube that protrudes 1.5 centimeters out of the case.

When switched on, the lens extends by a further almost four centimeters, but becomes shorter again when zooming from 24 to 70 millimeters (35mm equivalent).

The case has a modern and simple design, the black anodized metal has a high-quality touch. At almost 300 grams, the RX100 VA is truly not a lightweight. Due to its small size, it looks almost heavier than it is, which underlines a high-quality impression. Sony is charging a whopping 1,049 dollars (RRP) for the compact camera, which is 150 dollars less than the RX100 V cost when it was launched on the market (which also “only” cost 1,049 dollars before it was replaced by the RX100 VA).

Unfortunately, there is no weather protection in the case despite the high price. The high price may be mainly due to the modern, powerful technology inside, which distinguishes the VA from the next lower-priced model RX100 IV. But more about that later.

As nice as the small housing is designed and as little space, the camera takes away in the bag, so you can almost always have it with you: This minimalism is not good for ergonomics. Due to its size or “small” size alone, one hardly knows where to leave one’s fingers.

The thumb finds a small rubberized surface on the back, where it finds quite safe hold. This applies less to the two or maximum three fingers on the front of the case, because not only is it smooth, it also has no contours or handle (after all, Sony offers a handle as an optional accessory). Even the left hand desperately looks for hold, as the display reaches to the right edge. The lens is also too narrow to hold and the top of the camera accommodates two pop-up devices.

If you still have to compromise on ergonomics, the RX100 VA shines with its display, viewfinder, and many buttons. With 7.5 centimeters, the screen not only offers a large diagonal, especially in view of the camera size but also has a very fine resolution of 1.23 million pixels.

Even the brightness is extremely good thanks to the additional “white” subpixels of 860 cd/m², so that it is almost impossible to find situations in which brightness and contrast are no longer sufficient. In addition, the screen can be folded down 45 degrees and up 180 degrees. This offers a lot of flexibility, even if a small part of the screen is covered by the case of the selfie. Unfortunately a touch screen functionality is missing.

Already known from the RX100 III is the ingenious pop-up viewfinder, which Sony further improved on the RX100 IV. Mechanically unlocked, the viewfinder rushes upwards, and the eyepiece must also be pulled out. The camera turns on at the same time. Whether it is switched off again when the viewfinder is retracted can be set in the menu.

The viewfinder offers not only diopter correction but also an eye sensor for automatic switching. With 0.6x magnification compared to 35mm, the viewfinder is even decently large.

Due to its design, however, the eyepiece does not offer any protection against light incident from the side between the eye and the viewfinder.

In addition, eyeglass wearers are unable to see the viewfinder because the exit pupil is too small, and the viewfinder is clearly shaded from the side. The resolution is very fine with 2.36 million pixels. An OLED is still used, but it flickers slightly in very bright areas of the image.

Sony had to be economical with controls because of the small case size, but the RX100 VA offers the essentials even for ambitious photographers. For example, there is a control ring on the lens and an additional thumbwheel so that two functions can be controlled independently of each other.

Depending on the mode, the lens ring, in particular, can take on a wide variety of functions and can also be used, for example, as a zoom ring as an alternative to the zoom rocker, if desired in stages. In addition, there is the control pad with central confirmation key and four additional operating keys, some of which can be assigned individually.

 

The menu with the PlayMemories Camera Apps has been omitted, with which earlier Sony models could be extended by new functions. Instead, you can now find a “My Menu” that contains up to 30 menu items spread over five pages.

Unfortunately, one cannot save the current menu item to the My Menu in the normal menu by pressing a key but has to do this via the administration page of the My Menu, where all menu items can be found on 30 pages.

During the initial setup, you have to take some time, but then you get faster access to preferred menu items in individual sorting. All in all, the new menu offers a little more clarity, but is still very extensive, so that you have to search for special, rarely used menu items first.

The small housing of the RX100 VA, on the other hand, is extremely sparingly equipped with interfaces. There is only one Micro-HDMI and one Micro-USB interface. The latter also serves to charge the replaceable lithium-ion battery, which only provides juice for 220 photos – despite the faster processor, this is just as much as with the RX100 V, but 60 shots less than with the RX100 IV, which has to get by without a front-end LSI.

Those who use the 4K or HFR video functions will notice a significantly increased battery consumption with accompanying heat development on the right side of the case, which sometimes even requires cooling breaks.

After all, the USB interface is not choosy as to whether the energy comes from the original power supply unit or a third-party device, such as a smartphone charger. Even when the camera is switched on, the power supply continues to run, which is by no means a matter of course for cameras, unlike smartphones.

 

Unfortunately, the tripod thread on the underside of the case is located outside the optical axis and right next to the battery and memory card compartment. In order to use the 4K and HFR video functions, a correspondingly fast memory card is required, which best fulfills the UHS Speed Class 3.

But the card doesn’t have to be much faster either, because the memory interface manages a maximum of 38 megabytes per second and thus represents the bottleneck (more about this below).

Equipment And Features

The Sony RX100 VA offers the necessary range of functions for all user groups. If the camera is to accept all settings automatically, it does so without complaint in auto mode.

You can even choose to select normal modes only or those that reduce noise or shake by taking multiple shots, for example. In panorama mode, wide-screen shots are just as successful as in portrait mode, and the scene modes allow the user to specify the subject for the camera.

Despite the automatic mode, the RX100 VA offers a number of intervention options, such as continuous shooting mode or manual focusing.

In addition, a simple option selection allows, for example, the influence on background blur or colors, filter effects such as monochrome or toy camera are also available.

Ambitious users will be pleased with the classic creative programs in which they can influence the image effect by means of aperture and exposure time. The Sony even offers a swing-in neutral density filter.

The darkening by almost three f-stops allows the use of a wide-open f-stop even in brighter surroundings. In addition to the classic exposure programs P, A, S, and M, three individually assignable memory locations are also available for preferred shooting settings.

As a compact camera, the Sony RX100 VA operates with a central shutter that only allows shutter speeds of up to 1/2,000 seconds. These are also available for flash sync. However, the integrated flash with a guide number of about 4.2 is quite weak even for a compact camera.

Sony is fully committed to high speed and good image quality, even at higher sensitivities, which still gives you decent flash ranges.

The Sony offers the necessary flash programs like a long time synchronization, the flash at the end of the exposure or a flash exposure correction, but external flashes are neither supported by flash shoe – which is missing – nor by wireless TTL. So the RX100 VA is definitely the wrong choice for flash enthusiasts.

 

If you find 1/2,000 seconds exposed too long for your photos, you can use the electronic shutter. This enables short exposure times of up to 1/32,000 second. Instead of a quiet click, no shutter noise can be heard at all. Unlike some other cameras, the Sony also allows longer exposure times – up to 30 seconds – with electronic shutter.

However, the rolling shutter effect has to be taken into account, especially for pans or fast scenes. Thanks to the fast sensor, the rolling shutter effect is small, but not completely absent.

Sony had already significantly enhanced the continuous shooting mode with the RX100 V, the RX100 VA even goes one better. This is made possible above all by the front-end LSI, which sits between the image processor and the sensor and can take many pictures with its approx. 2 GByte buffer. 24 continuous shots per second are thus possible at full resolution.

The buffer holds an impressive 109 raw shots (72 on the RX100 V) and 221 on the highest JPEG quality (153 before). After that, however, the long wait begins. Despite its fast card, the write interface is a bottleneck that allows a maximum of 38 megabytes per second to pass through.

It takes a beaten 52 seconds for the buffer to be emptied of raw images again; with JPEG, the waiting time is even more than two minutes, considerably longer than with the RX100 V. One reason for this is the more complex JPEG image processing of the RX100 VA, which is the real bottleneck in JPEG mode.

After all, the RX100 VA now has a write indicator on the screen that even shows how many images are still in the buffer. And Sony has also extended the multitasking of the camera. It can be operated at any time practically completely including menu.

Even the memory card can be accessed (at least the images already stored). This was not the case with the RX100 V yet.

As for autofocus, Sony has also promised improvements with the RX100 VA’s new front-end LSI. After all, 315 phase AF sensors are integrated on the sensor and work together with the contrast autofocus.

The measurement in the laboratory showed a release delay of only about 0.2 seconds including focusing, a very good value. Without focusing, it only takes 0.04 seconds from pressing the shutter button to taking the picture. In addition, autofocus also works during fast continuous shooting and can actually follow subject movements very well.

Even faces and eyes are recognized by the autofocus and tracked reliably.

 

The video capabilities of the RX100 VA are impressive, although there are some limitations due to the small case. The heat development during a video recording is not insignificant, even if you film “only” in FullHD.

In 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), the recording length is limited to five minutes from the outset, as with the predecessor model. However, the quality of the videos, especially at the highest quality setting, knows how to impress.

The Sony smoothly and accurately tracks the autofocus and exposure, whereby the exposure can also be controlled semi-automatically or manually if desired.

The zoom works slower and almost noiselessly, the autofocus is not audible and practically doesn’t pump. The optical image stabilizer works the loudest but is not annoying. The new proxy video recording in HD (1,280 x 720 pixels) with 9 MBit/s is practical for video editing. So you can work smoothly in this resolution in the editing program and let the 4K videos render afterwards.

The HFR video mode even records up to 1,000 frames per second, which are played back up to 40 times slower. The recording length is limited to a maximum of seven seconds, depending on the mode. Nevertheless, you should tune the shot well to the action scene.

By the way, processing and storage takes half an eternity, but an HFR film is up to several hundred megabytes in size. The resolution of the high-speed videos is apparently extremely good with Full-HD as the output resolution. Depending on the frame rate and recording time, however, the resolution is upscaled in some cases by significantly lower resolutions.

Depending on the frame rate, the recording resolution is between 800 x 270 pixels at 1,000 frames per second and 1,824 x 1,026 pixels at 250 frames per second.

The further range of functions is limited to standard functions such as bracketing, a multiple self-timer, HDR shots, or the dynamic expansion DRO. Especially after recording, the RX100 VA offers hardly any image processing possibilities.

Also, the Camera Apps, which extended the functional range partly free of charge and partly with costs, are no longer available. But the WLAN connection has become easier again, since the current camera app no longer has to be downloaded, but is an integral part of the firmware. Unfortunately, Sony missed the opportunity to add Bluetooth to the RX100 VA, so that you have to rely on the logging function of the Sony smartphone app for geotagging. This also allows remote control of the camera with various function settings and live image transmission.

Picture Quality Of The Sony RX100 V

Sony’s original first RX100 once set new standards in compact camera image quality. Of course, the RX100 VA wants to be in no way inferior to this. The RX100 VA had to show in practice and in our test with the software, on which the following considerations are based, whether it succeeded in doing so and whether there are any differences to the RX100 V (without A).

 

It’s not surprising that the F1.8-2.8 fast 24-70mm lens (all focal lengths according to 35mm) with all apertures and focal lengths on the 20-megapixel sensor offers sufficiently sharp images from the center to the edge of the picture for prints of 20 x 30 centimeters in size.

The edge darkening remains always low with a maximum of 27 percent (0.4 f-stops), also the distortion plays no role, whereby the new image processing reduces the edge darkening even more. Color fringes continue to take place at an unchanged low level.

The measurement of the actual resolution at 50 percent contrast (MTF50) shows the strengths and weaknesses of the lens. It resolves up to 62 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm, 35mm equivalent), which is very good for a sensor with a physical resolution of 20 megapixels.

This maximum is reached in wide-angle at F4. When the aperture is open, the lens has a lower wide-angle resolution, but still a good resolution of over 40 lp/mm. Starting at F5.6, diffraction already sets in, which is especially noticeable at the smallest aperture F11 and reduces the resolution to below 40 lp/mm.

At the edge of the image, the lens has a wide-angle resolution of over 30 lp/mm, but never over 40 lp/mm and thus shows a visible edge drop in larger printouts over A3. Due to diffraction the resolution beyond F5.6 drops below 30 lp/mm.

When zooming, the edge resolution initially increases slightly, but the resolution in the image center also decreases. The more you zoom, the more even the resolution becomes. At medium focal length, the resolution in the center of the image is between 45 and 47 lp/mm and drops significantly at F11. The edge resolution is between 35 and 39 lp/mm and thus just below the 40 lp/mm mark. In telescopic position the resolution is a little bit lower, it moves between 35 and 43 lp/mm in the center and 29 and 32 lp/mm at the edge of the image. So the lens can be seen, but it doesn’t really shine with the highest edge resolution.

The image processing of the RX100 VA is a bit smoother than that of the RX100 V. This costs some resolution, but the sharpness artifacts are much lower, which results in more natural images.

 

The measurement results of the new 1″ sensor are impressive and partially exceed those of the predecessor model, which is mainly due to the modified image processing. Up to ISO 1.600, the signal-to-noise ratio is between 40 and 35 dB and only above ISO 3.200 does it fall below the 35 dB limit.

The noise is fine-grained and only becomes slightly visible above ISO 3.200 in the form of brightness noise, while color noise plays practically no role. The texture sharpness shows images rich in detail up to ISO 1,600. Even at ISO 3.200, this camera still delivers enough detail, even if the images are a bit softer here. Although the signal-to-noise ratio of the RX100 VA between ISO 200 and 1,600 V is slightly worse than that of the RX100 V, it still shows a little more detail at ISO 1,600 and 3,200, because the noise reduction is slightly smoother here.

Up to ISO 1.600, the input dynamics move at a high level of over ten f-stops and decrease linearly above this. Above ISO 1.600, the dynamic range is therefore somewhat worse than with the RX100 V. The tonal value curve runs divided for high-contrast midtones.

The RX100 VA’s somewhat more natural image processing is again reflected in the output tonal range in a steadily decreasing and thus also worse measured value than with the RX100 V.

Up to ISO 400, the RX100 VA shows a very good output tonal range with over 192 of 256 possible brightness levels, up to ISO 1,600 it remains in the good range of over 160 gradations.

At higher sensitivities, the value begins to decrease more, already at ISO 3.200, the tonal range is only sufficient with less than 128 steps. The color accuracy is moderate, some color tones suffer above all from a clearly turned up saturation. The Sony RX100 VA differentiates more than four million color tones up to and including ISO 1,600. Here, too, at higher sensitivities from ISO 3,200, there are differences to the RX100 V with metrological advantages for the latter.

The Sony RX100 VA doesn’t show the most neutral colors in general, but it inspires with beautiful JPEG images that don’t need any further post-processing. Those who like to “put their hands” on the image development themselves will anyway be better off resorting to the raw data format.

In any case, there’s hardly anything left to optimize at the JPEGs and Sony gets a better image quality from the 1″ sensor than most of its competitors. Particularly at higher sensitivities such as ISO 800 and 1,600, the images appear neither soft rinsed nor noisy. Even at ISO 3,200, the image quality hardly deteriorates. In comparison between the RX100 VA and the RX100 V, the measured values show advantages for one camera and for the other with a slightly positive overweight of the RX100 V. On the other hand, the RX100 VA’s images are somewhat more natural and above all not quite as artificially sharpened.

Bottom line: Is The Sony RX100 V (VA) Worth It?

The Sony DSC-RX100 VA is not only an extremely compact, but also a very good camera. The technology inside is of the finest quality, with the exception of the missing seal, the case also has a quality of workmanship commensurate with the price.

The ergonomics suffer somewhat from the compactness, but the range of functions does not. Especially the performance of the camera during autofocus, the continuous shooting speed and the videos are impressive and have partly increased compared to the also excellent predecessor model.

But the RX100 VA also has a few downsides, such as the weak-chested flash without external control or the somewhat fiddly viewfinder. However, the Sony RX100 VA scores most in image quality, where it continues to raise the bar for 1″ sensor cameras. Up to ISO 1,600, it does not even need to shy away from comparison with an MFT or APS-C camera.

It should also be mentioned that the same camera is available with less video functionality and a lower continuous shooting rate as well as a slightly lower viewfinder resolution at a significantly lower price.

This makes the Sony DSC-RX100 III the biggest competitor for the RX100 VA, between the two models there is even room for the RX100 IV.

Owners of a RX100 V don’t have to worry about the RX100 VA, the differences are quite small, even if the advantages like a larger serial buffer with better multitasking and better autofocus are not to be denied. However, a change is hardly worthwhile, especially since the differences in image quality are marginal overall.

It’s a shame that Sony didn’t miss out on the RX100 VA with Bluetooth and a touch screen, which are reserved for the RX100 VI, but which actually falls into a completely different camera category with its weaker, albeit zoom-enhancing lens.
