  • It’s hard to find a great reason to drop $1000 on the RX100 Mark IV. The biggest reason lies in the Panasonic LX100. That camera is cheaper, has better controls, and does 4K video just as good, if not better. Sony’s only technological advantage is the sup...

  • 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...

  • Very expensive, can only record 4K for 5 minutes at a go, slow motion video quality not high
  • The Sony RX100 IV, like its predecessors, is a marvel of miniaturization. This is quite a powerful camera for its size and it takes photos and videos that look noticeably better than point and shoots. Of course, that comes at a price, and this is a $950 c...
