Newsshooter tested one of the new RX100m5 features that didn’t get on the screen radar of most reviewers:

One of the more interesting specifications of the new Sony RX100 V is that it can shoot still photos at full 20 megapixel resolution at a blistering 24 frames a second (fps). It can do this for around six seconds or so in either top quality JPEG or Raw at a resolution of 5472 x 3648 in 3:2 aspect, or 5472 x 3080 in 16×9. This raises the prospect that you could combine these photos in sequence to create a super high resolution/low compression video clip which should allow a high degree of image adjustment – albeit with no audio.

Teh caveat with this is that you can shoot 6sec only, you got no audio, the camera stops and needs a lot of time to write the data and in some situation it shoots at 17fps instead of 24fps. That said Newshhooter writes the overall resolution and detail of the images is really impressive though.
