I'm HOPING it's sub £2,000 but expecting it to be over (at launch), dropping a bit at the end of summer.
I'm also HOPING that my iii lasts until the v IS sub 2!!!
Of course, IF Fuji come up with an equivalent single zoom, a fresh option opens up.

Rumours guy posted pics of the new camera on YouTube
youtube.com
He says it's the same lens but it's quite clearly a different focal range from his picture
Also looks like the flash is gone and a rather new body design

Right after I published the latest video a source sent me the first image of the Sony RX10V. Here it is for you to enjoy ;)

TFS - that’s weird about the lens isn’t it. I wonder if it’s just a rebadging of the same thing?Rumours guy posted pics of the new camera on YouTube

Also wonder if they've upgraded the stabilisation

Not as far as I know - just wishful thinking on my part!
Since Sony have done it, albeit for a smaller sensor, it's obviously possible but not yet been done. Closest is a pair of lenses but even then, you lose a little at the wide end (18-135 + 100-400).

Well we’ll find out today at 3pm but apparently the lens is the same but they now need to quote the focal length before lens correction. Kind of makes sense I guess - we shall see!

£2200 ouch, just had an email from Leica too, for the bargain price of £6500 you can have the SL3-P + 24-70....at this point all manufacturers are taking the P.

Yes agreed unfortunately... according to one site the $ price is exactly the same as if you inflation adjust the launch price of the Mk4 but that is not much comfort! TBF almost everything else apart from the lens and sensor has been improved and they were already very good... Don't think I'll be in a massive rush to find £2.2k though - probably wait a bit and try for a cheap(er!) import.

If launch prices is £2,200, I'd expect it to drop a reasonable amount over the next few months. At that point, I might be tempted (at closer to £1,750 or so!)

Similar situation here, although I must be honest I don't think I've ever used the top screen - forgot it was there in fact

Not cheap, certainly but when you consider that a 600mm f/4 lens is likely to be over £10,000 by itself, the Sony seems like decent value!

it is i guess but then it has no competition and it was £1800 8 years ago so with inflation its probably about right

It may well not be as popular as it was 8 years ago so price may quickly drop

Pete - not sure I would say they are obsolete? Have a browse through the thread and I would hope you’d agree that they can produce decent images (wildlife/landscape/macro etc) and the all-in-one solution is great if you value convenience as many of us do

Oh absolutely, what meant to say is they've stopped being produced till now for some years, i've had all the rx10s at some point or another, its quite probable i'll get this one down the road at some point.Pete - not sure I would say they are obsolete?

I probably will but not immediately - maybe in 6 months when the price is (hopefully!) a bit lower and cheaper imports become available (eg via Cotswolds)

Anybody used one of these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-Macr...2e5-4caa-901a-e8c24837c688&pd_rd_i=B00NIHBN0S
I believe it should slightly reduce the minimum focus distance (eg from around 70cm to 50cm at 600mm ffe) - it's 72mm and nice and light so on the face of it seems like a good macro option. I saw a few nice looking shots on FB with it and it piqued my interest
