Sony RX100 IV review

Sony's pocket rocket is a compact with almost no compromises

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.

Sony RX100 VI review

There are so many great things about the Sony RX100 VI, but before you go into a dizzying spell of lust where it seems like nothing will become between you and the thing you so much desire, let’s talk about its flaws. The lack of mic port is an oversight, especially considering all the great video features. And with the aperture now starting at f/2.8 as opposed to f/1.8, it’s not going to perform wonderfully in low light. What’s more, it’s not even slightly weather-proof. However, not only does it hit the right design notes, it shoots a staggering 24 fps at full resolution and has an AF faster than you can blink. The tilting screen makes it mega handy for taking subtle close-up street scenes, and it’ll be just as good at sweeping landscapes, making it truly an all-rounder. And one last but crucial point is that honking great big zoom, which is truly a modern marvel for something so teeny. It’s the camera that you can find space for, not matter how much stuff you’re carrying. It’ll do so much of the grunt work with its demonly fast autofocusing, so you can enjoy your holiday and just take great photos. Photos that will look head, shoulders, knees and toes better than anything you’ll shoot from your smartphone.

Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 Camera - Mark 6 DSCRX100M6 review

While it’s probably the best travel compact on the market, you have to really want a compact camera to spend almost £1200/$1200 on it. The RX100 VI has a heck of a lot going for it, but it’s probably quite hard to justify the cost.

Sony RX100 VI review

Sony's latest wunder-compact, the RX100 VI manages to mix true pocketability with a range of powerful high-end features. But it all comes at one hell of price - £1,150 to be exactly.

Two steps forward, one step back

When I heard that Sony had finally added a touch screen and longer zoom to their ultimate compact, I immediately got on the notification list. On paper, the RX100 VI seems like a home run, and for the price, it should be. My experience - and results - have been mixed...
