How much for the RX5?
The camera is under development / not announced we will update you soon as we get any new information.
Any idea whether the new camera will be touchscreen?
I, for one, can’t wait. I bought the 24mm f1.8 lens for my a6000, as a fast 35mm equivalent. Works OK, but the RX 5 sounds just right for my needs
