Sony RX100 IV review - a powerhouse compact
Packed with premium features and with a price tag to match, the Sony RX100 IV is a formidable compact camera.
Sony RX100 VI review: a tiny powerhouse
The point-and-shoot fit for a photographer- Great image quality
- Still works like a P&S but offers manual controls
- The extra zoom is useful
- Weak flash
- High price
- Battery can be a bit short
I would recommend this camera
Extremely advanced compact pocket sized camera with top specifications, superb image quality, and fast responsive autofocus. It has a better zoom than the previous RX100 models and takes beautiful videos. I did buy the Sony grip for it which improves handling.- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI Review
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI delivers premium image quality, fit and finish, and features in a pocketable form factor, but demands a hefty price. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI ($1,199.99) is essentially the RX10, but smaller. It covers the same zoom range as Sony's first 1-inch bridge camera, and while its lens isn't as bright when zoomed in, it fits into your pocket. It doesn't come cheap, however: At $1,200, it's the most expensive pocket camera we've seen that doesn't boast a Hasselblad or Leica badge. Its image quality and build are top notch, helping to justify the price tag and earn our Editors' Choice recommendation. If you like the idea of the camera, but struggle to justify its cost, the $800 Panasonic ZS200 is a good, more affordable alternative—but aside from its longer zoom range, it's not quite the equal of the RX100 VI. Design: Big Zoom, Small Body The original version of the RX100 was a groundbreaking camera at the time of its 2012 release. Its 1-inch image sensor ran circles around competing point-and-shoot cameras—the sensor format is about four times as large as image sensors found in typical point-and-...- 8x zoom lens
- Large 1-inch image sensor
- 20MP resolution
- Up to 24fps Raw image capture
- Tilting LCD
- Large pop-up EVF
- 4K video with HDR support
- Ultra slow-motion at 1080p
- Expensive
- Can't start video while images are writing to card
- Limited touch functions
- Dense menu system
I needed VI exactly cause of the superzoom and touchscreen. I made a good travel set of A7III + TAMRON 28-75 + RX100VI. Good additions Ia€?ve got are 24mm with 180 degrees flip screen, 100-200mm and 24-200mm 4k video with just 300-400 additional gr. Regarding IQ.
Earlier models were better
I bought this camera wanting and upgrade to the version I already owned. It was heavy and clunky, not as light weight as other versions. Not much difference in features bar more megapixels. Filming was easy and photos taken when filming were often better quality, especially when seeing a show.
Full of features
I haven't had this camera long and am still learning about it, but it has a wide array of functions and features in such a small package. I got it primarily for its size and large sensor with zoom - while the zoom is not huge, it does enable me to get reasonable photos of wildlife.

Sony Cybershot RX100 IV Review
It has all of the full manual control features that intermediate and advanced photographers crave, while also remaining easy enough to use that a beginner could pick it up and begin shooting great photos immediately.
