The RX100 IV becomes one of the smallest traditional compacts with 4k video, and the slow motion modes from 4x to 40x are simply fantastic. Whether you're a film-maker, someone who analyses sports motion, or simply enjoys footage of your kids or pets running and splashing around, the RX100 IV...

Sony's RX100 is perhaps the most desired and groundbreaking compact camera of the decade. Every year, it gets better. But every year, it costs more. Is this latest model really worth $1000 A very small camera that takes very high-end photos.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV (M4) is less of an clear upgraade over its predecessor the RX100 III (M3) than a forked alternative; for a variety of reasons, I'd classify it as an advanced compact for video enthusiasts rather than a straight-up advanced compact, at least until the price drops a bit.

Great video features to supplement its 4K capabilities distinguish the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV from the rest of the advanced-compact pack; It also retains the nice design perks, like a popup electronic viewfinder, of the earlier RX100 models

Like its predecessor; the autofocus system could be more consistent and the battery life has gotten even worse

A nice choice if you're looking for an advanced compact with class-leading video capabilities, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV is a little expensive if you just want a good camera for shooting stills.

Though it's more expensive and adds a plethora of video capabilities, it's pretty much delivers the same photo quality in the same body.

Every year, point-and-shoot cameras march closer towards their extinction as smartphones continue to eat their lunch. The only way for a point-and-shoot to stand out and earn your hard-earned money is to come armed to the teeth with high-tech features your phone doesn't have.

The RX100 IV is the fourth-generation of Sony's popular RX100 point-and-shoot cameras. This year's model costs $950 and comes with 4K video and slow-motion recording at up to 960 frames per second. It all sounds great until you use it. The RX100 IV looks virtually identical to the RX100 III.

Very good! I bought this just for the video mode in 1080p / 120fps. Becomes extremely good quality of the films, I must say. I pull then down the speed in FCPX it will be really good slow motion. Ang stills, I have not much to complain about there, it is like other RX100.

The RX100 IV continues the line's tradition of packing as much image and video quality into as small a package as possible. The RX100 IV is also an incredibly responsive camera; fast and ready to churn out high quality images and video with tools designed to help you achieve your vision.

Some of the best image quality in any compact camera; ever; Impressively sharp 24-70mm equiv lens remains usefully bright throughout zoom range; Impressive image stabilization for stills; dramatically effective in video; Well implemented Eye AF system tracks subjects well; Superb high resolution...

Extensive feature set overwhelms the user interface; As a twin-dial camera; could be programmed better to make full use of both dials; Expensive compared to rivals; Short battery life; Lock-on AF can be unpredictable and laggy; Lens range will be limiting for some users; No microphone socket,...

The RX100 IV gains some headline-grabbing features such as high frame rate and 4K video but it's the smaller features that most impressed us. Continuous eye tracking, fast Raw burst modes with AF, and small user-interface changes have made the Mark IV the most responsive and enjoyable RX100 yet. It's the most expensive in the series but is peerless in terms of capability.
