Like a popup electronic viewfinder
Of the earlier RX100 models
Impressive image and video quality for a camera this small
Offers manual controls and RAW. Does high bitrate video recording
Like its predecessors, the RX100 Mark IV pack a lot into a very pocketable body and delivers pretty good performance. Its nearest competitor is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100, which has a larger sensor, slightly longer zoom range, higher sensitivity, faste...
Highresolution viewfinder, Tilting screen, Large sensor, 4K video
High price, No touchscreen, Limited raw functionality
The RX100 IV follows in the illustrious footsteps of its predecessors, delivering better image quality than ever. But the absence of a touchscreen and some minor niggles mean it can't quite justify its high price...

The programmable lensconcentric ring is an excellent feature, particularly when used for manual focus with focus aids turned on for enlargement and focus peaking. Image quality is good, with one exception (see below). 4K video is brilliant.
We found that using the Standard picture profile with default settings resulted in gross oversaturation of reds, with colour bleeding overwhelming all fine detail. We changed to Neutral and wound saturation down two notches and that improved things, but t
Right from the first release of the Sony RX100 we have regarded it as the best compact and version IV is still the one to beat. The price is now very high for a compact, even one with the larger-than-usual 2...

Like its predecessor, the autofocus system could be more consistent and the battery life has gotten even worse
A nice choice if your 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...
High-resolution viewfinder, Tilting screen, Large sensor, 4K video
High price, No touchscreen, Limited raw functionality
It may seem that I've picked up on quite a few negatives here, but the RX100 IV is an excellent compact camera – and, crucially, it produces excellent images. And it would be easier to let those smaller niggles slide with a product which didn't come with...
Very high-quality stills and movies, 25x telephoto Zeiss lens, Eye AF function is outstanding, Features designed for amateur filmmaking, 1-inch stacked sensor
Tends to overexpose in auto mode, Sony's menus are still hard to navigate
Not unless you have the money to pair it with the Razer Core V2. On its own, it's a solid thin-and-light laptop — just not of the best...
An EVF, 16fps shooting and 40x slow motion are desirable features, but we'd have liked a touchscreen to speed up focusing, so it's four stars for Features & Build.We were impressed by the Mk IV's ability to record 4K video and shoot at 16fps, but writ...
Impressive slowmotion video capture, Remarkably compact design, Refreshingly easy to use, despite the wealth of features, 4K resolution video and still image capture, Good lowlight performance, Useful articulated LCD screen
Limited zoom range, No touchscreen control, The electronic viewfinder is too small and unreliable
Video capture in 4K, or at 40x slow motion, is particularly impressive on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV. It is also very easy to use, despite diminutive buttons, thanks to its responsive user-interface and handy lens collar dial. The EVF is less than...
There's no denying that the RX100 IV is a hugely impressive camera. At this price it really needs to be. It's not perfect, but there's nothing here that I'd classify as a deal-breaker. Its only real problem is some formidable competition. I prefer the Can...
