Sony has launched two new cameras in different parts of the world. 
While the Cyber-shot RX100 Mark V compact camera has been launched in the US, the company has introduced the a6500 mirror less camera in Europe.
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 Mark V is priced at $1,000 and will be available at authorized Sony dealers in the US. On the other hand, Sony a6500 interchangeable lens camera will be hitting the shelves in Europe in December.
