It also isn't magic like some reviewers may have you believe. I actually would rate this higher at a lower price point, but at this price it should be near perfect. Stabilisation and bird photography is far better on Nikon p900. Action and everything else is better on this.

I bought this after going to Antarctica with only a mobile phone and regretting the quality of the photos/movies I shot. I just returned from Russia and wow, I was amazed at the number of good shots from this camera. Yes, there were a few moments it would not focus (ie.

As a dedicated Canon user and having a somewhat lesser view off Sony historically, I have to say this is a brilliant product. Slightly noisier in low light than I would have preferred but that is not to say I am probably being picky, used to Pro cameras as I am.

For a wildlife shooter and at times a sports shooter I have not found a camera that has given me the ability to stop a bird in flight. To freeze a surfer on a maneuver that would make you feel that this has one big wow. I have focused on a insect and a jet flying.

Like the changes of the seasons, Sony's excellence is becoming an unstoppable phenomenon. A large part of this is the company's excellent sensor technology, and that includes this 1in marvel.

I bought this just before Christmas as one of the main features my previous Cybershot didn't have was the continuous auto focussing, which I wanted for wildlife photography. I'm still experimenting, which is why I haven't given it five stars yet as I need to be convinced that it's worth the large...

Purchased my sony RX10M4 camera from ukdigital, as they did a great priced bundle for everything to get started straight away, and very helpful on the phone. Had some great results while practising with garden birds, but have to go back each night & go over the manual trying to get & remember the...

Integral zoom lens cameras are often referred to as "bridge" cameras: the idea being that they bridge the gap between compact and DSLR models. If there's a bridge connection here it's in the rather incredible zoom range of the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV ($1,700, retail price) that spans the far shores...

I've owned this camera for a month now, and use it mainly for birding, the IQ is stunning at all focal lengths even with the Clear Image setting, which gives you a massive 1200 mm. Also have adapted it with a 1.7 tele extender using step up/down rings, this gives me 2024mm, ridiculous really, the IQ...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Calling the RX10 IV a “bridge camera” does it a disservice – it’s a fantastic choice for those who want a well-rounded, do-it-all camera, especially for travel. Wildlife photographers also benefit from the long lens and fast frame rates. You pay a premium to own it, though.
