Many sites have started their reviews of the Sony RX100 V and so far the results are very positive. It seems like the RX100 V is a step up from the previous generation in ever respect, but we will have to wait for their final verdicts.
Camera Labs started a review in progress page that includes photo and video samples.
Camerajabber has a hands on review

Sony a99 Mark II Interview and Review

By Louis Ferreira | Published: October 12, 2016

Lensvid just released their interview with Yann Salmon-Legagneur the general manger for product marketing in Sony Europe. The Sony a99 Mark II can shoot up to 60 images JPEG or 50 RAW at 12fps and the body is only about the size of the a77, so it’s about 18% smaller. Another surprising detail from the interview was that A-mount held about 18% of the european market as of 2010, which is pretty substantial, but I am curious why Sony didn’t offer more recent numbers. Apparently Sony is certain there is a large market waiting for this camera to arrive. Sony also verified that their Sesnor factory has been fully repaired from the earth quakes, but it will take a little more time until they are placing sensors in cameras at the same volume as before.

Sony’s new “Be Moved” campaign for the Sony a6500 and RX100 V, demonstrates their high quality 4k which could easily be mistaken for a broadcast. Along with the Sony RX100 V’s impressive slow motion and autofocus capabilities. 960fps doesn’t look great, but 240fps looks pretty good.
