Image quality is excellent. Quite sturdy. The set up is clunky, and does not have a proper touchscreen. My old lumix compact was much easier to use.

This is the second Sony RX 10 MK4 that I have purchased 9after the first had a severe mishap and was unrepairable). I had had my first since Dec. 2019.. I was very happy with it, an excellent camera used daily mainly for bird photography where it's .image stabilization and the large sensor combined with it's superb focussing ability and ease of handling brought it near to much more expensive DSLR abilities, in fact with the 600mm zoom and fast lens it matched them very well.. In confined spaces and hides with narrow outlook apertures i was able to get pictures where people with large lenses couldn't!. So when my first MK4 broke due to a long drop onto the front of the lens unfortunately! ( it had survived many minor knocks before) I had no hesitation in replacing it with a second Mk4 . I've now been using this one for around 3 months and am very happy with it's performance. I checked before purchasing it to see if Sony had updated it but No!. The only small problem I have with this model is that the capacity of the battery is somewhat limited. If this one lasts as long as the last one and hopefully longer if i don't let it fall I will be very happy!

It is nice little camera with lots of functions to work with. I am into macro photography. Unfortunately I was not able to get a good crisp close up capture with this camera. In other hand my Xiaomi Redmi 10 pro takes much better macro images in compare with this little one.

Purchased to get away from hardly ever carrying the A7 + lenses. Discovered over 95% of my images were taken on RX100v7. However, I enjoy bird photography and looked for a compromise. Despite its age, this is a very fine compromise. I Despite a familiarity with Sony's unique Menu I chose to purchase a 'Photographers Guide to the Camera' and I would recommend that

Great camera for all around fun. Outdoor or family photos. Even from the great distance required for adventure pictures!

I first started with a panasonic LX series. As soon as I saw the Sony I had to have it. I was wowed with the quality of the pictures right from the off. Since buying the mark one I am on mark VI and just love the ease at which it is to take breath taking photo's. It is so compact it is easy to carry around and the range which the lens can reach (200mm) is fantastic.

This is the second RX100 I've owned. The first was an M2. The M4 has a limited telephoto range compensated by the near-DSLR light capturing capabilities. I've found it gives excellent results - once you've mastered where to find the various controls.

A real photographer’s camera, a great addition to any DSLR. With a 1.8f lens it is great for blurring the background and getting light into the sensor. Great to have a EVF if a little small, however it is a pocket camera not a DSLR. This is my "go to, pick up and run with camera", great for most situations.

Switching from a Canon DSLR to a Nex 5N was a bit of a wrench I'll admit. Buying an A6000 was a massive step forward. I have to say that this Mark IV RX100 is perfect company. This compact camera goes with me almost everywhere with only the wettest of climates giving me cause to leave it behind in the dry. Once you get the controls configured just how you like them it's a breeze to use. Picture quality is very good (amazing when you think about how small it is) and I love the really shallow depth of field you can get without losing sharpness. The quality of the build is unquestionable. Battery life is pretty good (it's yet to let me down). The viewfinder is a boon and the optional apps are good fun to try out. It's like having a top quality DSLR with all its features squashed into a small form and given a single decent zoom lens. The only niggle is the turny dial thing on the back - it's a bit fiddly and too easy to click it by accident as you turn it. I'm picking holes though. If you don't need the longer zoom of the later models this is definitely a best buy!

I was looking for a small pocket camera to augment my professional equipment and allow those "street moments" to be captured. This camera allows me to do those things easily and with a quality that is worth the investment.

Having previously only owned SLRs in the past it is so refreshing to carry something with similar features in your pocket. I have still kept my film SLR and will continue to enjoy using it, however. Time will tell whether the device is as robust; I suspect it won’t be!

I have had the camera about 6 months now. I loved that it pretty much replicated many of my Canon EOS 60. I hadn't really shot in RAW format until recently. I was importing to Photoshop elements and was deleting files as copied. Well, the format will not transfer as Sony as a different raw configuration. All photos lost (200 or so). Found out on line that you had to mickey mouse a special sony program and change all files to JPEG. Not happy ! If you are a serious photographer who likes to shoot in RAW, don't count on this camera to have an easy conversion process.

I bought this camera after much research and deliberation as I wanted a camera that has fantastic picture quality, good features and was robust enough to take out with me on outdoor adventures and not have to worry about the odd knock. Although the RX100iv was more expensive than the other camera's I was looking at. it seemed to out do similar camera's in all areas, so I took the plunge and committed the money. At first I was very pleased, picture quality was as expected, excellent, and the customization of the buttons is great and makes the camera very user friendly once you set it up how you want. But sadly I can only give the camera 2 stars as the main reason I got the camera was because of it's supposed robust build. At first it seemed very strong, weighty and made of metal, but after 6 months I was walking upstairs and the camera fell out of my pocket, down two stairs (carpeted stairs!) and onto the floor. I thought this would be no big deal but to my horror, when I picked up the camera to check it, the shutter was no longer opening completely making the camera unusable. As you can imagine this was devastating and incredibly disappointing. Another point to note, I was unaware of how expensive the accessories are for this camera, so bare this in mind and do your research. I would only recommend this camera to somebody that will be using it in controlled situations, not for adventurous photography.

I purchased this a few weeks ago to have a constant camera with me; I am not a great mobile phone user and really want more features than they offer. First impressions are fantastic, it really does meet my criteria and I still have got to explore the menu more to use it at its full potential. Come rain or shine the picture quality is excellent.

I have only just acquired the camera and I am so pleased I did. Thought about it for a long time as I was downgrading from a Lumix G80 because of weight etc. Image quality is spot on and once you have got your head around the menu, its spot on. I have however purchased a glass cover for the screen, easy to find online and also a grip which is not only essential but actually adds to the look of the camera. Why Sony have not put one on, god only knows. I love this camera.

Best compact camera I ever had. I was looking for a camera that I can take with me everywhere instead of my large DSLR without compromising the IQ. This is it, love it. Cost a little to much perhaps? I still think it's worth it. It is the best advanced compact out there at the moment... untill the m5 comes out that is.
My favourite camera!
By Jus123
I love the RX100 series, ive had a mk1, mk3 and now mk4 and each iteration keeps getting better. I can get almost DSLR quality images without the bulk to carry. Video from this little camera is simply brilliant, i tested the mk4 against the Sony 4k HandyCam AXP33 and if im honest i prefer the output from the mk4! If youre in any doubt about this camera you shouldnt be, you get what you pay for and the RX100 ticks all the right boxes.
Play around with this Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera wherever you go. The sleek black compact camera produces impressive photos thanks to the 20.1-megapixel Exmor sensor, which is significantly larger than standard smartphone cameras forimpressive low-noise images. You also get 4K video production, which is four times the size of HD, or you can choose to save space on your SD card with the HD video mode. When you want to slow it down, you can record at up to 960 framesper second for precise imagery that shows every millisecond.
This Sony Cyber-Shot digital camera also has an anti-distortion shutter that operates in as little as 1/32,000 of a second, and this works well in bright sunlight or with heavy lighting setups to completely freeze the action.

World's first 20.1 MP 1" Exmor RS stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor
Introducing the world's first 1" (1.0-type) stacked CMOS image sensor with DRAM chip and a blazingly fast shutter speed of up to 1/32000. This new Exmor RS sensor not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked structure with more circuit sections; it also realizes over five times faster readout speed of the previous RX100 III - thanks to a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure. This processing speed allows for stunning 20.1-megapixels at up to 16fps continuous shooting, breathtaking 4k movie and super slow-motion HFR (High Frame Rate) recording of up to 960fps (40x) movie clips not to mention remarkable low-light low-noise capability.

The compact - pocket-size RX100 IV features Clip 4K: short video of up to 5 minute 4K movie recording directly to SD memory card - ideal for everyday casual use. High quality 4k is achieved by the 1" Exmor RS CMOS sensor with full pixel readout and no line skipping or pixel binning - resulting in images that exhibit higher resolution and less moire and jaggies than typical 4K movies. Moreover, the XAVC S format is incorporated to maximize high-bitrate shooting up to 100 Mbps for professional quality video.
Super slow-motion movie3 HFR (High frame rate) up to 960 fps (40x)
See the unseen with superspeed HFR (High Frame Rate). The RX100 IV can capture super slow motion HFR movie at up to 40x slower than real time. You can chose from 960fps, 480fps or 240fps to playback in XAVC S at 1920 x 1080, in either 60p, 30p or 24p4. Choose between "quality priority" (2 sec.) and "shoot time priority" (4 sec.). There's also an option to set "start trigger" or "end trigger" which will start capturing movie before or after you press the movie rec. button so you can time those split-second moments perfectly.
Super-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter at max. 1/32000 sec. up to 14fps
Thanks to dramatically accelerated sensor readout, shutter speeds of up to 1/32000 sec. minimize distortion caused by rolling shutter phenomenon. This new blazing-fast - Anti-Distortion Shutter system can capture shots of swiftly moving subjects without altering their shape as conventional CMOS sensors tend to do. Additionally, the super high speed shutter gives you freedom to shoot photos with defocused backgrounds by using large aperture settings under very bright lighting conditions. This is achieved by a combination of 1/32000 super high speed shutter and built-in ND filter that allows photos to be shot in extremely bright light at a maximum of EV19 with a fully open F-number aperture setting.
