The sensor of both the camera features same resolution. And the ISO range of both the camera is almost same. But the biggest difference is fabrication of Phase AF points inside the sensor of Sony RX100 V camera. The sensor of the camera carries 315 AF points that helps to lock down AF in no time.

Sony added new integrated DRAM chip on the camera that improves speed of processing, it help buffer to increase its speed and limit. Hence with the Sony RX100V you can capture 24frames a second @ 20 Megapixels.

The other major addition is front-end LSI. LSI means Large scale integration of transistors. By adding front-end LSI and DRAM chip the overall performance, image & video quality of the Sony RX100 V will be greatly improved compared to its predecessor.

The Hybrid AF system of the camera will help users to do blazing fast AF while recording videos. And I hope this time the RX100 V is free from overheating and other issues as faced by Sony RX100 MIV users while recording 4K videos.

Short Battery can emerge as a big problem to Sony RX100V users since 220 Shots limit can be crossed any time while shooting a event or when you are traveling outside. So we suggest to keep extra battery pack always when you have RX100V.

Verdict:

Sony RX100 V camera contains a lot of improvement from inside. The Sony RX100V camera new sensor with Hybrid AF points, front-end LSI and DRAM Chip for performance improvement. We recommend you to get Sony RX100V camera over RX100IV.
