Well Sony started a new trend by introducing the Sony RX100 VA camera. If you have missed the announcement of the Sony RX100 VA camera then here it is. Actually last month Sony upgraded the Sony RX100 V camera with new “A” version, And we have listed out the major difference between the two.
Sony RX100 VIA – Sony Next Camera in RX100 Series ?
It’s too early to expect any version of Sony RX100 VI camera anytime soon, because Sony recently announced this compact camera few months back. But, we are speaking about the possibility of the Sony RX100 VIA. If you look at the current trend of Sony. I do believe that we will see the Sony RX100 VI A camera next year. So, what we can expect from the next version? The 24-200mm F2.8-4.5 lens is expected to remain same even in the next version, but we will see upgrades in processor and sensor area.
No Sony RX100 VII camera ?
Well it do indicate, that Sony has changed the plan of introduction of new series of camera specifically the RX100 series. So, there is possibility we will not going to see the Sony RX100 VII camera in near future until and unless they do a major breakthrough in technology (that’s 24-200mm F1.8-2.8). And instead of that we will going to have the Sony RX100 VI A camera as the successor of the Sony RX100 VI.
Slower Lens in Sony RX100 VI
Yes the BIG reason behind the update of Sony RX100 V camera is the faster 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 Lens. There are lot of people who are still interested in buying the older version due to the faster lens. So, Sony decided update the existing RX100 V camera with all the new features they have added to the Sony RX100 VI camera.
The feedback after the RX100 VI announcement, most of the users’s and pro shooters were not happy due to the addition of slower lens, despite of having more zoom range
Two versions the same RX100 series – VA and the RX100 VI
Sony will update both RX100 V (RX100 model with 24-70mm F1.8-2.8 lens) and RX100VI (model with 24-200 F2.8-4.5 lens) parallelly in near future. But things may change if they introduce a bright aperture based zoom lens with a new version.
But again it’s too early to expect anything, we will update you soon as we get any new information.
Lot of big and small improvement done with the Sony RX100 V A camera. We have summed up the details, now you can see detailed list if upgrade done with Sony RX100 V camera

Upgraded Menu Look

It’s a better initiative by Sony to keep alive the 27-70mm Compact lens system camera. So in near feature we may see a new and bright aperture based lens coming with the RX100 V Series camera.
Take a look at the physical difference between the two…
Our recommendation – If you already own the Sony RX100V camera then you no need to upgrade, since more or less you will going to get the same image quality since the sensor is same. You can wait for the second generation of camera to arrive with a new sensor. If you are planning to get a new RX100 camera and you are happy with 24-70mm lens (the RX100 VI offers 24-200mm) then RX100 VA camera is best for you.

One of the thing I am going to say that if you are expecting DSLR like quality from a compact camera then you are expecting too much, this camera is one of the best compact camera but it cannot complete with the large sensor based mirrorless camera or DSLR camera mounted with a 50 mm F1.8 cheap and affordable lens.
I am also a regular user of Sony RX100 IV camera I always keep the Compact camera in my pocket. Since, I hate to capture images with my smartphone because I never like quality of images coming out from it but at the same time I am going to recommend you that if you can have DSLR with you or your mirrorless camera then it is bit more better when you going to talk about the image quality is difference between the two when you are using best lenses available. However RX100 VI camera is one of the best compact available out there and of course it does all the job when required, it captures images, captures videos you can YouTube without you can do anything so of course yeah the best camera you can get right now.
