Product Reviews

Bought this camera 5 weeks ago and has been a pleasure to use. Very impressed with the lens quality and handling.

I'm an amateur wildlife photographer and have owned a SONY RX10M4 since 2017. It's the ideal camera for me and continues to be far superior to any other bridge cameras! I've been waiting for an RX10M5 for the past two years but have heard that Sony is discounting the range and has already ceased production of the RX10M4. I bought the new camera before it's impossible to find one!

Great camera, all you need in one camera from landscapes to wildlife. I have used dslr's and numerous lenses for many years - traded it all in for one camera solution Easier to use on holidays with the family, less to carry and the compromise is so minimal should have done this years ago. If you enjoy photography would recommend this camera

I have many Sony cameras but just got this camera and loving not caring a big lens around in a city or lots of people around and you can get great sharp pictures at near full zoom, I am even thinking of getting a spare as I never want to be without this camera, hope Sony get them back in stock.

Very happy with the purchase. A lot of functions. It will take a while to learn them.

I have this camera for 2 weeks, not really used it yet except a few shots in the garden. I wanted a point and shoot camera that had a lot of other features that I could use when I wanted to but I was not forced to use. The Rx10 seems to fit the bill. The few shots I have taken are great and it’s very easy to use. The auto focus is very good as easy to setup and use. It is a heavy camera my previous SLR was not as heavy .

The tiny sensor and tiny, for it's capabilities, lens do have some slight drawback in terms of sensitivity and noise, especially with equivalent apertures of f/7.1~11, but, and it's a huge BUT, this camera is small, light, and provides a real alternative to carrying and chopping and changing between a suite of lenses - I know as I have an a99ii, and a77ii, and numerous Zeiss and Sony lenses - about seven plus a TC. Welcome to the world of extreme crop formats. 2.727x crop compard to full frame 35mm. Small "equivalent" apertures, mean much bigger depth of fields than the numbers on the barrel suggest, for better or for worse. The colours are great. The burst speed is amazing. There's not much here to not like! Probably the only sin so far noticed is the tripod mount. The 1/4" screw hole is way too close to the back of the camera, and almost any plate used will apply pressure on an unsupported plastic ledge. Word of warning - use the tripod mount sparingly and with extreme caution. Other than that, wow, what a great tool, even now, about 8 years since launch, it still has no equal - not even from Sony...!

Very capable camera. For the price I am surprised they do not supply a separate battery charger. The RAW files that the camera uses is not supplied with any software to read them for my editing software. Will update review when used the camera a little more

This takes stunning photos and video isn’t to shabby

For years i have used DSLR's with an array of lenses which required a whole back pack to carry round with me, and really were impractcal to carry to remote locations for wildlife photography that i enjoy. I read some reviews and watched some youtube videos on RX10 M4 with some sceptisims, thinking that in no way could this compact all in one camera, give me results like the large kits i was used to carrying round, but i was wrong. After using the camera now for a few weeks, and taking it out on locations, i have had great results in both the useability of the camera, and the images it produces. I cant recomend this camera enough to anybody that may have lost the love for their photography through the need to lug bags of gear with them. This really does perform, and has given me that bug back to get out and enjoy capturing images of our natural worls.

Bought this c2 weeks ago. Had to look on YouTube and purchase 3rd party book to explain camera features. Sony literature provided had very poor explanations

Husband bought this for me, yet to get my head around the menus and functions but initial findings are it's great.

After many years of lugging a Canon 5D mk3 and various lenses around I traded the whole lot in for the RX10 4. Very happy with the performance of this camera. Focusing and tracking for wildlife are excellent, it had no problem locking on to a pond skater and producing a nice sharp image. Great for travel and wildlife and perfect for surfing "frozen action" shots. Compares very well with other bridge cameras, I hope that production is continued or replaced with a mk5

Bought this after the excellent reviews, so easy to use and takes brilliant photos

As a photographer who has had an array of different cameras, eg. Canon 5D mark 3 + best lenses, Fujifilm XT4 + many lenses, Nikon Z6 + many lenses Sony A7II + lenses as well as a Leica Q, I believe the Sony RX10 IV hold a special place with these cameras, it's so versatile for sports wildlife and portrait photography. Sometimes I don't think Sony realises what they have in front of them, with a few more tweeks, I believe it would nearly be the best camera on the market. I have also had a couple of Bridge cameras eg. Canon G3X and a Panasonic FZ300, these cameras are no even close to the Sony RX10 IV. Please keep going with this camera!

Camera exceeded all expectations view finder bright on a sunny day and all controls are precise and easy to access with my large hands.

I bought the RX10 - IV approx. three weeks ago, had to wait another week or so before I got the memory card. I love this camera, apart from anything else it's very well made, but more to the point, it's very versatile so I should be able to capture all the images I want to, without having to carry a ton of lenses around with me.

After a spell using the Sony RX100M7 (another stonking camera from Sony) which I have moved on. I’ve gone back and bought another new RX10IV again as the reach and ergonomics of the RX100 didn’t work for me. I’ve also previously had Sony A7R bodies and lenses but the RX10IV replaces all of that kit and carrying… Did I forget to mention the amazing ZEISS 24-600mm equivalent Lens! Also features shared from the Sony A9 SLR range such as 315 phase detection - this camera is a beast for birding with continuous Autofocus at 24 FPS. Some folks feel that because it is a 1” sensor it is inferior - yes perhaps in very low light - but I’m done with humping Long White lenses for my older Interchangeable lens bodies - The best all in one solution by far IMO as it covers what the RX100m7 did as well! It would take another post to get into the phenomenal Video capabilities this camera possesses - maybe another day..

This is my second Rx10iv afrer wearing one out. Used nearly exclusively for traveling. The convenience of not having to change lenses all the time and the long reach make it perfect for the time challenged business of travel photography.

I bought this 2 months ago and has been loving it. Great all in one camera for everyday use and great for travel.

This camera has everything the sports and wildlife photographer needs to take brilliant photos and videos for a reasonable budget. Smaller and shorter than a full size sports lens, and remarkably functional.

The hardest decision was deciding what I really wanted, higher resolution, WiFi downloading of photos, remote shooting and minimum weight and size made this camera a better choice than an interchangeable lens camera.

This is the third bridge camera I have owned. The previous two were Canon and Panasonic Lumix. Each was good in its own way but none have come close to this camera. There are many reviews that speak highly of its quality, perfomance and astonishingly fast focusing and sharp picture taking ability. I have had this camera only for a short time and found it to match its reputation. I have applied 'point and shoot' settings and rely on the cameras many automatic features. As a largely nature/wildlife photographer I am very pleased with the results.The cameras physical size and design suit me well. The only thing I will need to adjust to is its weight; noticeably heavier than the other bridge cameras, but as often said much lighter and more convenient than carrying camera bodies and multiple lens. Altogher an amazing piece of technology.

Bought this for the long zoom lens, but also has good quality pictures.
