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

Calling the RX10 IV a “bridge camera” does it a disservice – it’s a fantastic choice for those who want a well-rounded, do-it-all camera, especially for travel. Wildlife photographers also benefit from the long lens and fast frame rates. You pay a premium to own it, though.

The Sony RX10 M4 is an amazing camera! I was afraid of the 1" sensor, i'm using APSC from Fuji and im used to a certain level of quality. I wanted to try an all in one package. And thanks to the very high quality lens and the great autofocus tech in RX10 M4, the camera delivers super impressive...

Good camera but due to the small sensor details are getting washed out if you zoom in or crop your picture during post processing. Also, low light performance could be better.

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.

Focusing; picture quality video capability and zoom

Price; bigger than most point and shoot

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV is the most feature-filled, and most expensive, variation of the camera yet. It keeps the same 24-600mm f/2.4-4 lens as the RX10 III (now priced around $1,400), but adds on-sensor phase detection for quicker focus and a staggering 24fps burst capture rate, even in Raw...

Very expensive; No in-lens neutral density filter; Hood blocks flash at wide angles; Can't start a video when still buffer is in use

Sony's RX10 series has delivered premium image quality in a fixed-lens, bridge camera design since its introduction. The fourth edition, the RX10 IV ($1,699.99), upgrades the image sensor to include phase detection focus, so it can shoot at up to 24fps while tracking subjects. That's a big plus for sports and wildlife photographers who want to pack light—the camera has 600mm reach. It delivers image quality that's better than superzooms with small sensors, and also offers best in class capture speed and autofocus. Not everyone needs this type of power, however, and you can save a few hundred dollars without sacrificing image quality by opting for our Editors' Choice RX10 III. But if you don't mind paying some extra money for additional speed, the RX10 IV is worth the premium. Design The RX10 IV ($1,698.00 at Amazon) is nearly physically identical to the RX10 III. It's designed in a bridge style—the body is similar in size and shape to an SLR, but the lens is integral to the design...
