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

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
Abstract: Sony has released updates to its popular RX-series compact cameras, leaving the externals pretty much unchanged, but with a major update to their sensors.Both cameras use a 'Stacked CMOS' design, which Sony calls Exmor RS. This is the next generation of C...
Vastly improved burst speeds with deep buffer; Great performance with very fast autofocus; Very high resolution gives lots of detail in good light; High ISO noise levels much better than most pocket camera rivals; High-quality 4K video with uncompressed H
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...

The pocketable compact to beat, excellent image quality, built-in electronic viewfinder, fast aperture lens, customisable control ring
Hugely expensive, autofocus performance could be yet faster, still no touchscreen, limited bump over third-gen predecessor
There's no escaping it - the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV is one pricey compact camera. Is that the price of perfection? Almost. The main thing to weigh-up in the mind is whether this latest model is worth the extra £250 over its predecessor. The extra...
Excellent image quality, 4K videos, Brilliantly fun HFR mode, Pocket-sized
Prohibitive price, Limited zoom range
I can't think of any current pocket-sized cameras that can best it So yes, the RX100 IV is expensive. Older versions of the same camera the RX100 III and the RX100 II are currently priced at about £570 and £350 respectively, so you'll be paying a premium...
Sony is reclaiming the pocket camera throne. The high-end point-and-shoot market has never been more competitive. Panasonic , Canon , Nikon , Ricoh , and Sony all have skin in the game. And while Sony's RX10 series is still tops, once again Sony has c...
