The Sony RX100 IV is the fourth instalment in what has become our favourite compact camera series.

- Versatile video
- Great image quality at lower ISOs
- Intimidating price
Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV review
It may seem that I've picked up on quite a few negatives here, but the RX100 IV is an excellent compact camera – and, crucially, it produces excellent images. And it would be easier to let those smaller niggles slide with a product which didn't come with such a high asking price, but they disappoint...- High-resolution viewfinder
- Tilting screen
- Large sensor
- 4K video
- High price
- No touchscreen
- Limited raw functionality
Sony RX100 VI Review
- Impressive lens gives sharp images all through its really useful zoom range
- Very good image quality with reliable exposure
- Remarkably fast autofocus and continuous shooting means you should never miss a shot
- Pop-up viewfinder and tilting screen give flexible composing options
- Small, slippery body is far too easy to drop without an accessory grip
- Far too expensive compared to its competitors
- Tiny buttons can make operation frustrating
- Comparatively poor battery life
Sony RX100 IV
The RX100 IV takes superbly vivid, crisp and striking images that can match up to and in some cases surpass even high end DSLRs. It shoots real 4K video and is the world's first camera to have a 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor.- 4K video shooting up to 960 fps
- Super slow and super-speed shooting
- Great bright condition & low light condition shooting
- High speed continuous shooting at 16 fps
- 180 degrees tiltable LCD Screen
- Poor auto-focus system due to lack of touchscreen
- Poor battery life
- Unable to shoot in raw in certain camera settings

Review: Sony RX100 IV
The RX100 has long been Sony's flagship Cyber-shot compact. It's the leader in its point-and-shoot squad, gathering up cutting edge features and high-performance components and stuffing them neatly into a pocket-sized camera.
Great camera
First off this is a superb camera I cannot think of another camera of this size with all the features it has. I will say that if you are not interested in 4K video then save yourself some money and buy the mark 3 version.
An excellent next edition
Having owned two other editions of this model i'm more than happy with this Upgrade,an excellent little camera.
Powerful options
Barely a week in use . . . I like it. Powerful pocket camera . . . and complex to pack all of that into a small form factor. Does most of what my full frame DSLR does. Have used lesser pocket cameras before. Looking forward to learning and using all the advanced features.
