  • 4K video shooting up to 960 fps, Super slow and super-speed shooting, Great bright condition & low light condition shooting, High speed continuous shooting at 16 fps, 180 degrees tiltable LCD Screen
  • Poor auto-focus system due to lack of touchscreen, Poor battery life, Unable to shoot in raw in certain camera settings
  • The RX100 IV takes superbly vivid, crisp and striking images that can match up to and in some cases surpass even high end DSLRs. It shoots real 4K video and is the world's first camera to have a 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor. The camera has a large...

  • Simply put, the Sony RX100 IV is the best pocket camera money can buy today. Of course, it takes a lot of money to buy this camera, which is probably the only criticism that I have for the RX100 IV. At $950 retail, the potential audience is somewhat limit...

  • Sony has made some good improvements to what is already an excellently performing camera, but there are still a few small problems with the RX100 IV which make it just slightly less than perfect. Even if you can put the extremely high price aside (especi...

  • Abstract:  After the cheap end of the compact camera market was gobbled up by smartphones, camera makers had to upgrade their fancier compacts to keep ahead of the curve. This typically means 1-inch or larger sensors, fast lenses, and better low-light performance. W...
