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 Cyber-shot RX100 IV

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV (M4) is less of an clear upgraade over its predecessor the RX100 III (M3) than a forked alternative; for a variety of reasons, I'd classify it as an advanced compact for video enthusiasts rather than a straight-up advanced compact, at least until the price drops a bit.
Pros:
  • Great video features to supplement its 4K capabilities distinguish the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV from the rest of the advanced-compact pack
  • It also retains the nice design perks, like a popup electronic viewfinder, of the earlier RX100 models
Cons:
  • Like its predecessor
  • the autofocus system could be more consistent and the battery life has gotten even worse

Sony Cyber-shot DSC RX100 VI review

The RX100 VI is a very capable camera, combining a flexible zoom range with impressive autofocus. However, the small maximum aperture required to keep the size down limits the image quality in some situations. The relatively high price means you have to really want its unequaled combination of capability and size.
Pros:
  • Anyone needing fast AF, good video, sharp images and a flexible zoom range in a pocket-sized package.
Cons:
  • Anyone seeking the best possible image quality in dim light or with moving subjects.

The RX100 VI is something of a departure for the RX100 series: offering a more extensive zoom range but giving up some of its large sensor's low light ability by pairing it with a less bright lens.
Pros:
  • Anyone needing fast AF
  • good video
  • sharp images and a flexible zoom range in a pocket-sized package
Cons:
  • Anyone seeking the best possible image quality in dim light or with moving subjects

As you can see from this review, the Sony RX100 IV is a little powerhouse that is not only capable of delivering outstanding image quality for its sensor size, but also superb 4K and slow motion video.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV review

Back in 2012 Sony redefined expectations for small cameras by fitting a large, high resolution 20.1-million-pixel 1-in sensor into the pocket-sized RX100. Every year since then, it has taken its advanced point-and-shoot compact and improved it for the better.
Pros:
  • + Impressive resolution for a camera so small
  • + Advanced video capabilities including 4K and slow motion recording
  • + 16fps continuous shooting
  • + Electronic shutter (allowing shutter speeds of up to 1/32000sec to be used
  • + Built-in Wi-Fi & NFC connectivity
  • + USB charging
Cons:
  • Reduced battery life (280 shots
  • No touchscreen functionality
  • No rubberised handgrip
  • Small buttons

Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV review: Still the compact to beat

It's 2015 and there's an argument that the compact camera is obsolete in the face of advancing smartphones. The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV is the absolute antithesis to that; a high-end, pocketable compact with large 1-inch sensor and 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 equivalent lens.
Pros:
  • The pocketable compact to beat
  • Excellent image quality
  • Built-in electronic viewfinder
  • Fast aperture lens
  • Customisable control ring
Cons:
  • Hugely expensive
  • Autofocus performance could be yet faster
  • Still no touchscreen
  • Limited bump over third-gen predecessor
