I did all the research the RX100M4 was rated best for pocket sized quality cameras. I purchased specifically for combination of size and quality for a 5 week trip to Fiji and New Zealand, purchased full accessories, etc. Took on the trip and the camera developed firmware problems after 6 days.

Small / Compact

Complicated Controls; Limited Zoom

Awesome dealing with Zoom Electronics. Love the camera and extra goodies that came with it! Also they had my package shipped right away and received it the next day. Awesome!

I'm totally satisfied with this camera I figured it would be the best option to start small and work my way up to something big but the way I look at it this small thing is able to keep up with the big boys totally satisfying it and glad that I bought this but don't tell the wife how much it cost...

I didn't like paying nearly $1200. but have to admit I am totally impressed with this camera in one day of use so far. Test shots seem really sharp across the field at all focal lengths (yes even 200mm). In-camera JPEGs look pretty good, RAW of course a little better after processing.

It's expensive; Images and video are noisy in some low-light scenarios; Can't capture time-lapse video clips

Sony Cybershot RX100 IV review: Extensive manual controls, great imaging performance and good dynamic range makes it one of the best compact cameras, but the erroneous focusing system and the limited lens maybe a big disadvantage, for its price

Small; fits in trouser pockets; Good build; Excellent image quality; Good dynamic range; Extensive manual controls; WiFi connectivity; Excellent electronic viewfinder

Restricted range of lens; Autofocus mechanism does not work well; Weak battery stamina; No touch input; WiFi configuration is not the easiest

Conclusions Sony has added features to its RX100 line with each new generation. The Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV is a more iterative update to its predecessor in terms of imaging capability, with the main benefit being a faster burst capture rate.

Wide-aperture zoom lens; 1-inch image sensor; Strong low light performance; 16.1fps burst shooting; Customizable controls; Large, tilting LCD; Pop-up OLED EVF; Quick autofocus; Raw shooting support; Wi-Fi with NFC; Super slow-motion video; 4K recording

Expensive; Short zoom range; Omits hot shoe; External charger not included

Finally a camera that does it all
