Thanks Mike! You're review helped me in my decision process and I couldn't be happier with my new RX10IV. It truly is an amazing camera.

Hi Mike, bought my RX10 about 5 months ago. Your video is very positive and compared to many videos I watched, your speec and tone is very easy to listen to and I got a lot more out of your video than others. I haven't shot since film days so I'm getting back into hobby photography. Mostly outdoor and low light shots of nature and bands, Thank you!!!

I totally agree with all what you said. I bought it for all the reasons you mentioned. Luckily it’s been 10 years since I bought my last DSLR! so this was perfect for me as a travel camera. I am looking forward to fully exploiting all its amazing features.

New to this , watched way too many camera review videos over the past 2 weeks and finally , great to be not patronised and great not dealing with presumed knowledge, just great!!! Thankyou for helping me make that not insubstantial purchase decision!!!

Hi Mike, great video! I bought this camera about a month ago and I'm still completely blown away by it. I'm just getting my first decent tripod this week (Manfrotto 546B tripod legs and 502A head) and am looking to getting some nice indoor shots as well as using it for travel. As a user of other Sony systems (HDR Camcorder and Action Cam) much of it all fits together at a minimum with the PlayMemories Home suite. I really like your knowledgeable but laid-back presentation style and have subscribed. Here's hoping you hit your target! All the best, Rob in Switzerland.

Hi Mike, I've owned one in November and I'm fully agree with you, for the majority of time, this is the sole gear we need for Imaging...Quality is insane, and except some limitation in low light and high iso, this is my prefered camera now. I'm also equipped with Sony A7/A7s and some good objectives, but for an every day shooting, the RX10 IV is covering any subject.

Hi Mike, I used to run a Canon 7D Mk2 with several lenses....not anymore as I bought one of these 3 weeks ago and I am so pleased with it. Ideal for virtually everything a hobby photographer/videographer needs in one package. Fab video thanks for sharing 😀👍

thank you for the review This camera was recommended to me by a friend that shoots professionally and also works at a high end camera shop in Boston. I will consider this a valuable second opinion. I have made my decision and i will buy this one. Thanks again.

Hi Mike, some great advice here. I also took the plunge about 1 month ago and brought the Sony RX10 IV. I love the versatility of the camera. I also have had a Nikon D300S for around 12 years now and used a Nikkor 70 - 200mm f2.8 with a 1.8x convertor using them for wildlife. Unfortunately the load was getting too heavy for me, both weighing just over 2Kg without a bag and tripod!! Not so enjoyable on a day out. So I traded in the Nikkor lens and convertor and brought the Sony - and I love it. I still use the Nikon camera along with Nikon PB-6 bellows for macro, but mostly at home or not to far away. The weight was putting me off - but now with the Sony I'm having a great time with excellent results. I love the fold out screen making low pic's of fauna much easier to set up. Though the menu style is very different I'm gradually getting used to it

Great review on this camera. I sold my Sony a900 FF camera, then moved to the lighter a77II APS-C camera with all the various and very expensive lens systems, and now just have my RX10IV and older RX100II. The image quality from the RX10IV is significantly better than what I was able to achieve in my two previous larger sensor cameras. The Zeiss 24-600 zoom is the sharpest lens I've ever owned. Recently I had a canvas wall print done at 1.5 metres wide x 1 metre high, all off the tiny 1" sensor! Admittedly I gave it a helping hand by processing it through Topaz Gigapixel which delivered a 1.6GB print file, but even at this very large size of 5 feet wide, you can see every fine detail in the shot. Incredible camera!!!

Thank you! So glad to know that this camera is the one to get. Haven't shot anything other than long zoom bridge and want better.

Very good and informative review. Just bought this camera in the hope that it can indeed largely replace my APSC ILC system with an acceptable (limited) trade off for image quality. After a while, it has become increasingly annoying to either lug around tons of equipment or feel like i'm missing exactly the lens(es) i decided not to bring...

I owned the lumix fz2500, and it is definitely video centric. Soft lens for stills. The rx 10 mk iv is so very much better for stills and greater zoom. I sold the lumix . Great review. Thanks.

After viewing your video, I bought the camera. I sold my Sony 70-200 lens that I used on my A7R2 because it was so heavy and didn’t give me the range I needed to capture birds and other wildlife. I still use my A7R2 for macro, portraits, and low light situations, but the RX10 IV is perfect for trips to the zoo, sports, birds, and video.

Your video was very good, nice relaxed manner. But, more impressive is the effort you put in to responding to questions. Very nice. You certainly have more patience than me lol ps don't feel you need to respond to this, you've earned a rest :) Well done!

Great share. I am always interested in opinions regarding the color production. Do you and/or others feel that this camera produces natural colors when printing images? Thanks!

Thanks Mike just bought the RX 10 IV because of your great review.

Fantastic video! I am 14 years old and bought my rx10iv at the end of last year. I was debating between it or the A7ii (a7iii didn’t come out yet) or maybe even the a7rii. I have an a6300 as well. I ended up going for the rx10iv and I love it except for the low light capabilities. My dad has a canon 1dx and after looking at his sport images shot at 6400- 25600 iso with little noise it makes me wish this could do better in low light. He was very impressed with the quality coming out of this camera. I think it is fantastic for bird photography since a good telephoto lens for a full frame Sony is $1000-$12000! The reach this camera has is just insane for the price and quality when compared to those cheap bridge cameras made by companies like Nikon. I will be probably renting the a7riii and 16-35 2.8 GM for a trip where I hope to do lots of landscape photography which will be printed very large. Overall I can not agree with you any more that this camera is fantastic. I really think interchangeable lens cameras are over rated especially for consumers when most of them never step away from the kit lens. The biggest misconception with this camera is that it is “compact. “ while it is not very big, it is just a hair lighter than an a7 series or a9 camera with a lens such as the 16-35 GM. I was surprised how heavy and well built feeling it is when I opened up the box. Anyways, nice work on the review.

Mike Mu,,I wanted to ask you is the Menu on this camera very similar to the A6000 ? l'm thinking i'm used to my A6000 and if i purchased this camera it would be easy to get used to it, I really like the idea of not carrying gear with me when i go out into wild. I have couple of lens for A6000 and also have a Canon 80D with 150-600 that i really like but if this RX10 IV has the same reach I wouldn't mind just having that . I would keep one of the other two just for a back up Camera, I'm not a professional.

Im just more interested in the video settings at the belagio fountain. Is it straight out of the camera on auto? Thanks.

Nice video here Mike. I agree 100% with everything you mentioned here. I have owned this cam since November 2017. It really does well in low light- not the best at night outside - but good indoors in low light. Although there is a low light video of this cam on youtube that looks pretty good at night at 3200 ISO. People just need to quit comparing specs on paper and take your gear outside and start testing and pushing its limits.

Great info video! I have many Sony cams like A7s, A6000, HX400V, AS-50, HDR-700V (Lost in Lombok! ), and Sony Mic, etc. I'll get this cam eventually. I wonder if Sony is going to have a new HX500V coming soon? Its a while now.

sound advice i must be the only person that likes a bridge camera because of no dust issues as no else mentions it, seems to be the pro future if on;y it could be complemented with a wide only version 35mm equivalent of 16 -35

Thank you Mike, after watching your video my appreciation for this camer has grown significantly. I personally find the menu and it´s multiple option a bit confusing since it has so much to choose from; could you recommend a link where I can have a clear explanation on all of this in detail.?

Mike, I really liked your review + your recommendations for accessories. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the links below your presentation screen that you mentioned [using a Mac and Safari]. Do I need to use a different browser or look somewhere else? Thanks!

I bought one couple days ago. I am by no means a professional photographer but this is an amazing camera. There are so much to learn about this camera. But it is taking phenomenal pictures.

Thanks for sharing...nothing less we can expect from Minolta...now Sony ...

Great video, Mike! If you had to choose between this and the Nikon P1000, which would you go with and why? I'm a non-pro wanting to upgrade from my smartphone camera.

Very nice review. Very informative! Mike where can I source the soft touch shutter button? What brand is it?

14:15, I'd like to know a little more how you would edit using proxy files. Do you have a video on this subject, or know of one? I appreciate your RX10IV review, thanks!

Good review but I would have stressed the phase focusing technology since it's main competition uses contrast focus.

Hi Mike, I just subbed and would like to buy this camera, how is it with macro shots being that it has such a high telephoto lens? Thanks and great video

Good review. I'm considering this model to replace my current Nikon D7500 kit. Has your opinion changed since this video was published in 2018? Thanks for your input!

Excellent review.

Hello, how to take the best sports pictures at night under average lighting, without having blurry images, is in AF C, AF S, or AF, ....

Great video Mike. As it's not possible for me to have bigger prints with this model ,can we expect newer model with bigger megapixel in 2020 from Sony's point and shoot RX 10 family.

The 2018th of February? I thought it only had 28 days!

Hello Mike ! Are you still using your RX10IV ? It would be great to review this camera after all these years and maybe promote a version V soon !!!!

Sorry to bug you but I looked and couldn't find a definitive answer...is there a battery grip I can get for this? i'm going to be purchasing this in the next couple of weeks and was just curious because I had a grip on my Sony A7ii

Thanks, doesn’t seem like there are any newer better options 5 years later

Mike, just purchased the Song A7iii with Sony 35 1.4 lens and am wondering if this isn't a better option. I was trying to get the option for super bokeh that the 1.4 offers, but for maximum shooting flexibility, this may be better. Thoughts? Had the RX10 mark 1 with previous employer and really liked its versatility. I realize this is MUCH better in MANY ways than that was.

Thanks for the review. The #Sony #RX10M4 is the #King of #Bridge #Superzoom #Cameras. It rules them all, yet expensive. A bridge with 1" sensor, or a 1.5" Sensor (or a 1.5" multi aspect sensor like the #LX100, why not?) is a good compromise. I have the #90D, the #SL2 and the #SX530HS.... My first digital bridge camera was the #SX530HS... it's 1/2.3-inch sensor but you get a lot from it than a smartphone. The market is shrinking... Smartphones are pretty advanced today, good for people who want to shoot decent photos and for people you want to share on social medias for "quick views and likes"... This is what most people do today,... printing is rare, but a lot of social medias. For social medias, it's mainly smartphone: then difficult to tell the difference between 4k and 1080p, a photo shooted with an 1" sensor or #M43, #APSC, maybe with a #FullFrame,... People on social medias don't really pay attention to details... They look quickly, like and/or comment, Scroll down Some like without even really look... But smartphones can't replace camera and the glass (optics) for now... How many cameras you have to add to a cellphone to really compete a digital camera? I have a #Samsung #Galaxy smartphone, its awesome, this makes me thinking what Samsung could deliver if they did not exit the digital camera market. The #NX1 was an amazing #APSC. People will come back a bit to digital cameras, at least for advanced compacts, beginner mirrorless , when they are tired of selfies. Digital camera companies are learning as well, the camera apps are getting better and better.... #Zeiss understands the concept, #ZX1: #Shoot + #Edit in camera (app or #Lightroom) and #Share =>>> as quick as possible!!! Bridge superzoom cameras are a good option for people who want to learn photography without putting too much money on gears. Bridge cameras offer DSLR / Mirrorless like functionalities. Lessons learned with them help when you upgrade to a bigger camera, bigger sensor, ... that was my case when I switch to an #APSC. The 1" sensor bridge cameras are awesome... Sony / Nikon / Panasonic Lumix / Leica : 1.- Waiting to see what #Sony #SonyAlpha will deliver us with a #RX10MV, but hope the screen will be a fully articulated one. Don't know if they have plan for a new menu system?!?! Sony should probably work silently and quietly on their menu system and make heads spin with an update, when people are not expecting the big change. 2.- Hope #Canon with add built-in EVF in the next #G3X, the #PowershotG3XMII, why not a #CanonEOSRP body like? 3.- #Nikon should bring back the #DL24-500, the specs were amazing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7t6f8J72t_TfWQ.html 4.- I guess #Panasonic #Lumix will upgrade the popular #FZ2500 / #FZ2000 => #FZ2500MII / #FZ2000MII => The famous Dad Cam!! 5.- Owners of #FZ1000MII and #LeicaVLux5 / #VLux5 are happy. #PanasonicLumix #FZ2500M2 / #FZ2000M2 = #G95 / #G90 with fixed lens? Bridge Hybrid Superzoom for Videos ans Stills like those are more that important. Good Luck. instagram.com/paulginoulysse/ :) ;)

Been thinking about this for airshows since I got rid of my Nikon d4 and 150-600 tamron. I was using it so little it didn’t make sense holding onto it. Plus having to haul it around was a work out. What do you think about the image quality and the AF on fast moving subjects?

Sounds like a great all-in-one camera for just about everything! By the way, have you used the a9? I have one and wondered if you have used it before, if so what are your views are on the AF capability of the two? Thanks for the review of this camera. Cheers.

OK now we know the specs but how does it actually perform. You know some real life samples of images. How high can the images be enlarged before degradation. Some crop samples of increasing magnification. Comparisons with larger sensors. Useful stuff to know before spending $1700 and relegating my 7D and lenses to the old toys box.

is there any limit in the video shooting like nikon coolpix?

hi i got sony rx10 m4 for video recording with every clip its save thumbnail is well i want to stop please can you help thanks

The only thing that made me pass this beast up was no flip out screen!

This and the LUMIX FZ2500 are probably the Best Cameras on the market bar none.

Kan niet tippen aan de Panasonic FZ 2000 met Leica lenzen met een veel snellere processor .na filmen gelijk verder filmen en geen 4 seconden wachten om de film op te slaan zoals bij de Sony

What a great video. Informative and thoughtful. I'm an older woman who has been a hobbyist for many years and have extremely arthritic hands. I sold all of my Canon gear last year and went with Fuji. I have the 35mm, 16mm, 55-200, 60mm and the beastly 50-140mm. I really wanted the 100-400 (I love bird and wildlife photography) but just couldn't justify the weight. I've been going back and forth between the 100-400 and the Sony rx10 IV. You've convinced me. Now, though, I have a question. I love my Fuji colors and sharpness but think I should be able to let a couple of lenses go. I like wildlife, macro, and some portraiture. What would be your thoughts on what to keep and what to let someone else appreciate? Thank so kindly for taking your time if you're able. And anyone else who has thoughts on this I'm open to them!

I'd like to see where one can ask a problem question, my brand new (old camera 2016 or so) just out of box, shutter stuttered a lot and somehow, settled to take a picture, focus not that razor-sharp. Now, black screen everytime I turn camera on and message like = Turn Camera off and on. Camera is useless to me now.

awesome review ! do you think it's still worth to get it in 2020 ?

Very nice video! I have been considering this camera for a bit now. I am wanting this to be my all in one. So I don't have to carry My Nikon for photos, and Rx100 for videos. I love this concept, but I am just debating if I should wait for the next model. I would hate to spend the money on this one, and then a few months later the Mk. V comes out. I do most of my work with the RX100 as far as video. I think this would be the best of both worlds, and I could possibly sell all of my Nikon gear! I have some more thinking to do, if you have any suggestions, or want to chime in on how long you might think it will take for there to be a Mk.V. Please let me know you opinion :D Anyways, like I said, awesome video :D

Congratulations on not feeling the need to have annoying and unnecessary background music. Is your red soft button shutter release a stick-on or screw-in version. If stick-on, has it ever come off?

of course if its only camera , and no lens change allowed, it has to be this but I hope the next version has the better battery,

Is this camera's auto mode that good? I usually shoot in aperture Priority because I have yet to find a good auto mode on a camera

I want and i need this cam..

megagear case, use the bottom half only

How far does it shooting in feet or Meters?

Very good info and vid. You mentioned a no compromise camera. Well, the fact that this does not have a fully articulated screen is unacceptable in this day and age. This is ridiculous. If it had the screen I would agree this camera is the best. I won't be using stone age screen tech for free let alone what this camera costs.

Thanks. The #RX10M4 is praised by all reviewers, users/owners including yourself. There are rumors of a coming #RX10M5. The #RX10M4 seems to be the king of Bridges, what would you like to see if #Sony really decide to upgrade this swiss army knife of bridge superzoom digital cameras: * Fully touchscreen for focusing and navigating the menu system? * The new menu system in the #A7SIII? * ... Wondering if #Canon will upgrade the #PowershotG3X and if #Panasonic #Lumix will upgrade the #FZ2000 / #FZ2500 / #FZH1?

I can't imagine how the constant comparison with other cameras that many of us have never heard of adds a thing to the review.

When can we expect to see the Sony RX10V?

Excellent review, and a fantastic voice. You’re wasted on KZfaq.

Just ordered for 1100 bucks, looking forward to testing it out.

This review is right on the money. I can't think of another single camera I would rather have. Check out the timestamps on the images in the link provided below. I don't know of any camera (not named RX10) that could have captured this sequence. photos.app.goo.gl/br65KDZ6KrcZgUmt8

Leave the lens off. Its angle of shade is minimal so virtually useless and makes the camera obtrusive. Fit Hoya HD nano UV to protect the front element.

Zoom is super fast? No way!

Rx10 iv or rx100 v or x100f as first camera?

I liked the video 👍 Great voice -- you can earn 100 times more money being a sportscaster

Here we go again, 30 something ounces, how much is that in metric weight, something everybody around the world (apart from the USA) understands?
