1-inch, 20.1MP “stacked” CMOS sensor ; Outstanding photos and videos ; 4K and super-slow-motion modes ; Improved EVF

Even pricier than before ; Limited focal range ; Mediocre battery life

Like the RX100 Mark III, the Mark IV earns our Editor’s Choice. This small package is expensive and it’s a niche camera, but it’s possibly the best compact digicam you can buy; there is some truly amazing enhanced performance over its predecessor and...

Pocketable size ; Excellent shooting speed ; Versatile video ; Great image quality at lower ISOs

Intimidating price

High-resolution viewfinder ; Tilting screen ; Large sensor ; 4K video

High price ; No touchscreen ; Limited raw functionality

The RX100 IV follows in the illustrious footsteps of its predecessors, delivering better image quality than ever. But the absence of a touchscreen and some minor niggles mean it can't quite justify its high price.

Excellent and fast 24-600mm lens ; Superb stills and video quality ; High-quality EVF and tilting touchscreen ; Excellent high-ISO performance ; Advanced AF system

Pricey compared to rivals ; Touchscreen control limited ; Relatively large and heavy

For those looking for a powerful all-in-one solution, the RX10 IV is the best camera out there. It comes at a price, but there's nothing else quite like it.

Wide-aperture zoom lens. 1-inch image sensor. Strong low light performance. 16.1fps burst shooting. Customizable controls. Large, tilting LCD. Pop-up OLED EVF. Quick autofocus. Raw shooting support. Wi-Fi with NFC. Super slow-motion video. 4K recording.

Expensive. Short zoom range. Omits hot shoe. External charger not included.

Conclusions Sony has added features to its RX100 line with each new generation. The Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV is a more iterative update to its predecessor in terms of imaging capability, with the main benefit being a faster burst capture rate. Its EVF...

Some of the best image quality in any compact camera, ever Impressively sharp 24-70mm equiv lens remains usefully bright throughout zoom range Impressive image stabilization for stills, dramatically effective in video Well implemented Eye AF system...

Extensive feature set overwhelms the user interface As a twin-dial camera, could be programmed better to make full use of both dials Expensive compared to rivals Short battery life Lock-on AF can be unpredictable and laggy Lens range will be limiting...

The RX100 IV continues the line's tradition of packing as much image and video quality into as small a package as possible. The RX100 IV is also an incredibly responsive camera; fast and ready to churn out high quality images and video with tools...

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.

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...

4K video shooting up to 960 fps ; Super slow and super-speed shooting ; Great bright condition & low light condition shooting ; High speed continuous shooting at 16 fps ; 180 degrees tiltable LCD Screen

Poor auto-focus system due to lack of touchscreen ; Poor battery life ; Unable to shoot in raw in certain camera settings

The RX100 IV takes superbly vivid, crisp and striking images that can match up to and in some cases surpass even high end DSLRs. It shoots real 4K video and is the world’s first camera to have a 1.0-type stacked CMOS image sensor. The camera has a...
