Sony's RX10 series has delivered premium image quality in a fixed-lens, bridge camera design since its introduction. The fourth edition, the RX10 IV ($1,699.99), upgrades the image sensor to include phase detection focus, so it can shoot at up to 24fps while tracking subjects. That's a big plus for sports and wildlife photographers who want to pack light—the camera has 600mm reach. It delivers image quality that's better than superzooms with small sensors, and also offers best in class capture speed and autofocus. Not everyone needs this type of power, however, and you can save a few hundred dollars without sacrificing image quality by opting for our Editors' Choice RX10 III. But if you don't mind paying some extra money for additional speed, the RX10 IV is worth the premium. Design The RX10 IV ($1,698.00 at Amazon) is nearly physically identical to the RX10 III.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

With the RX10 IV, a lot of these user experience and reliability complaints have been addressed. The sensor comes from the RX100 V , bringing phase detect AF to the camera, which results in more reliable autofocus with almost no hunting. A touchscreen allows for painless AF point placement.
