The RX10 IV updates Sony's high-end Bridge Super-zoom retaining its predecessor's 24-600mm / 25x zoom, weather-proof body and OLED EVF, but inheriting the RX100 V's sensor for phase-detect AF, 24fps bursts and 4k without binning.

One of the most exciting advances in camera technology seen in the last year can be found on the Sony RX10 II and RX100 IV . And the improved performance has nothing to do with resolution, high ISO performance or dynamic range.

I found the most useful camera for my work...."#sweepstakes"

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV sets a new standard for all-in-one superzoom models. If you're interested in getting an all-in-one travel camera, or simply want to photograph your local wildlife without needing to buy a huge zoom lens for a DSLR, it's the best you can buy right now.

Huge zoom range covers almost any photographic opportunity; Fast; accurate autofocus keeps moving subjects sharp; Excellent image quality in most lighting conditions

Screen only tilts up or down, Lacks some expected features, e.g; intervalometer, Bluetooth under-utilised (only used for geotagging

For those looking for a powerful all-in-one solution, the RX10 IV is the best camera out there. It comes at a price, but there's nothing else quite like it.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV is in a league of its own. No other bridge camera handles and performs so well. In this class, image quality is excellent. Detail at f/4 and f/5.6 is sharp from centre to corner across the majority of the zoom range.

I'd suggest trying the camera on your shoulder, and if you're happy with the bulk, and the rather high price, then you'll be ready to buy an otherwise first class travel camera. The Sony CyberShot RX-10 IV is wide enough to grab photos of buildings, yet zoom in on far details.

All in one versatility; very high picture quality; great zoom range

A bit lumpy; fairly expensive

But they won't necessarily provide all the functions of an interchangeable-lens camera and they often over-simplify functions keen photographers like to control (in this instance controlling...

I've owned this camera for a month now, and use it mainly for birding, the IQ is stunning at all focal lengths even with the Clear Image setting, which gives you a massive 1200 mm. Also have adapted it with a 1.7 tele extender using step up/down rings, this gives me 2024mm, ridiculous really, the IQ...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls
