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.
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
Highresolution viewfinder
Tilting screen
Large sensor
4K video
The editors didn't like
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
Like its predecessor
The autofocus system could be more consistent and the battery life has gotten even worse
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...

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...

Small and stylish, even with a three old design, Advertisement, Great image quality, Autofocus is improved, Advertisement, Great overall 4K image quality, New sensor tech enables neat tricks like super slow motion, 1/32000 shutter speed, and 16 fps burst
Controls are cramped, and they've been that way since 2012, Advertisement, The viewfinder's hampered by awkward mechanics and tiny size, Image quality on super slow motion footage is extremely bad, There's no way to attach an external microphone, Adverti
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...

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 tra
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
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...

Impressive image and video quality for a camera this small, offers manual controls and RAW. Does high bitrate video recording, 4K and slow motion
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...
