This new model of the Sony Cyber-shot range is a real all-rounder, boasting a versatile set of features for multimedia use. It's the fourth in the RX range with some significant advances, and plenty of features.
One of the big talking points is the significantly improved autofocus, thanks to the addition of on-sensor phase detection. What this technical jargon really means is a much faster focus, for both stills and video.
The RX10 IV is also the first in the series to use a touchscreen, which allows the user to tap the screen to focus for both stills and video.
Another improvement on RX predecessors is in continuous shooting speeds - up from 14 frames per second to 24 frames per second with continuous autofocus. If that speed is a little too full-on, it is possible to dial down to medium or low-speed shooting!
Ultra High Definition 4K promises astounding clarity for movie makers. Another well-received feature is a Photo Capture function which allows the user to effortlessly save an 8.29MP still from their UHD 4K video footage.
Connecting with friends and family to show off your stunning stills and video is easy thanks to built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless sharing imagery, when to a linked mobile device. A tablet or smartphone can also remotely control the camera or display a live view image.

I bought this just before Christmas as one of the main features my previous Cybershot didn't have was the continuous auto focussing, which I wanted for wildlife photography. I'm still experimenting, which is why I haven't given it five stars yet as I need to be convinced that it's worth the large...
It also isn't magic like some reviewers may have you believe. I actually would rate this higher at a lower price point, but at this price it should be near perfect. Stabilisation and bird photography is far better on Nikon p900. Action and everything else is better on this.
I was a professional photographer of weddings and portrait work since the mid 90's. After shoulder surgery and backing away from most of the professional end of things I slimmed down my gear. I was always an avid pro DSLR user and lover but dabbled in some smaller formats along the way.
Sold my M3 to buy M4. Blasting fast autofocus makes this camera perfect for me now.
I found the most useful camera for my work...."#sweepstakes"

The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV is a premium all-in-one bridge camera with a 20-megapixel 1-inch sensor and a long-range 24-600mm equivalent zoom. Styled like a small DSLR, it costs £1799.
The Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV is in a league of its own. No other bridge camera handles and performs so well. In this class, image quality is excellent. Detail at f/4 and f/5.6 is sharp from centre to corner across the majority of the zoom range.
I've owned this camera for a month now, and use it mainly for birding, the IQ is stunning at all focal lengths even with the Clear Image setting, which gives you a massive 1200 mm. Also have adapted it with a 1.7 tele extender using step up/down rings, this gives me 2024mm, ridiculous really, the IQ...
Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls
I purchased this camera to use on a vacation to Newfoundland. I do quite a bit of hiking there and I wanted to reduce the wait that I normally carry when using a DSLR. I am very happy with the features this camera offers. One feature that I would like to have would be a digital ND filter.
