I have a small photography business that I run on the side along with my primary job as a consultant. I normally use a Nikon D810 and several lenses. The Nikon performs great as one would expect. I purchased this camera to have a small point and shoot to take with me to places that I did not want to haul a full size camera and lenses. My primary need for this camera was portability and picture quality. Movie capability was secondary for me so I can't really address that. This little camera has totally exceeded my expectations. Even on auto, it does an amazing job of selecting the right combination of ISO, shutter speed and f stop. Sony has a home run with this one. So what tests have I put this camera through. The toughest test so far have been on a river boat in NYC at night and sunset in Jamaica. You would not expect a small sensor camera of this size to be able to take good night time shots of NYC from a moving, rocking boat. The quality of pictures I was able to produce were amazing. It does a wonderful job of knowing what the shooting conditions are and automatically adjusting appropriately. When shooting sunset pictures, I was expecting that I might see some flair from the sun, but not was present in any of the shots. All of the photos below are JPGs straight out of the camera except for the sunset. I did boost color a bit on the sunset picture. My photo samples were intended to highlight the capabilities of the camera and were not chosen for their artistic content. Pros: Well built camera with a ton of capability for it's size. I expect that it is the best or one of the test sub $1K cameras available. Auto exposure mode works amazingly well. Sony has a winner here! Cons: Expensive Point and Shoot. Batter life is poor. Note that off brand batteries are available and the ones that I purchased worked as good as the Sony batteries. The other "con" perhaps is complexity. To fully utilize the capabilities of this camera you will need to spend some quality time with the manual. The bottom line is that this is a top quality camera if a very portable package. It will rival DSLRs that cost much more in many situations.

Best camera ever! It has everything. --- Best features --- * 4K video * High Frame-Rate * 1.8-2.8 aperture * Sony apps that add features (like time-lapse, star trail, and AUTOUPLOAD TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE! This is huge because you can then setup Google Photos to back this up automatically. Finally a useful Wifi feature) * Everything else seems perfect. --- Only drawbacks I noticed --- * Zoom is limited to 3x (that's expected with such a good aperture. You can increase that zoom digitally too, especially if you shoot at 5 or 10Mpix) * 4K video is limited to 5 minutes. If you take 2x 5 minute videos in a row, the second video will make the camera overheat after about one minute. So you can shoot 6 minutes (5 + 1) of 4K video and then you need to let it rest a bit. * High frame rate videos are actually not shot at 1080p. It's shot at lower resolutions (the highest frame rate, the lower resolution) and then that's transcoded as 1080p. So you do get a 1080p video, but it has noise, especially if using 1000 frames per second. Quality Priority (Higher Resolution – Less Recording Time) 240fps NTSC/250fps PAL (1824×1026) 480fps NTSC/500fps PAL (1676×566) 960fps NTSC/1000fps PAL (1136×384) Time Priority (Lower Resolution – More Recording Time) 240fps NTSC /250fps PAL (1676×566) 480fps NTSC /500fps PAL (1136×384) 960fps NTSC /1000fps PAL (800×270) I made some videos to illustrate both the greatness and the limitations of this camera. --- Time Lapse (additional Sony app, everything done in camera) --- Super blood moon eclipse (only landscape parts in the beginning are from RX100M4) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOM8vbZ-tCg --- Star trail (additional Sony app, everything done in camera) --- Star trail - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSEo3mPWv-4 --- 4K video --- Day landing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abzaMZsdqx4 Night landing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5KnNF8JSyI City center at night - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4A6AfXS2V4 --- High frame rate / slow motion videos --- 4K video, comparing all video, HFR and photo modes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_XMwbVGV5g In a train at 300km/h @1000fps - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31CgaZCnXZ0 Flying above a sea of clouds - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CaRis_5Iw0 Water drops - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLIftdQ9Cs --- Conclusion --- This camera has everything I need, in a small form factor.

Purchased this DSC-RX100 IV and the DSC-HX90V with the same seller and at the same time. The previous review (before this one) is about the former. Considered, I am pleased with the amazing video-recording ability with UHD (not really 4K--that would be proper terminology on Panasonic GH4 and Samsung NX1, for instance), but this 1" sensor model in a small body does greatly compromise the zoom to nearly 3X. It has a far brighter wide-angle aperture of f1.8, and because the sensor is considerable larger than the DSC-HX series (and most compacts in its price range), the small body size to make it possible does not allow for enough zoom. It is good for close-ups and a little zoom for sports during the day if you have a front-row seat, that is. However, you do not want to use the Auto setting because a manual setting where you control the shutter speed and so forth is ideal, and that it can handle 1/32,000 of a second is a feat no other camera in its class can match. Pros: + Great for UHD video work, whether during the day or at night, and very clear too. The DSC-HX90V and its predecessors use conventional crop sensor technology that won't yield ideal results, especially indoors and when the day is nearing the end; would be a con for the DSC-HX90V not mentioned in that review. + Full-sensor readout and no pixel binning, making it great for taking stills during recording (the first two predecessors took lousy, blotchy pictures). + Bright lens, even at ~3X telephoto, is on par with the typical Panasonic FZ series (such as the FZ1000, which I really like and has better IQ and lens sharpness than the upcoming DSC-RX10 II). + Unlike the DSC-HX60V model, the new 50 mbps codec is available, and you can shoot in high-speed frame rate, but at limited resolution, no sound, and 2-4 seconds, depending (this is probably more of a con, but meant to be played back at normal speed, up to 80 seconds, so that is really insane). + Flash tilts up so you get even lighting, especially indoors at night without lights on. (There is a con to this, but I found slightly improved over previous models.) * Fits easily in a pants or shorts pocket, but just a slight bit too thick for a shirt pocket. * Made of better materials (magnesium alloy instead of mostly high-grade plastic). * Rare feature - not included (used the neck strap from my NEX-5N) - you can use the tiny inlets on both side (predecessors and the DSC-HXV models have just one on the right so only a wrist strap can be used). You do not have to worry about dropping the camera, and makes it look more professional, and a lot less strain around your neck. - Usable viewfinder, you do not even need to 'pull out at you' as it is ridiculously tiny on the DSC-HX90V. However, it is so small that use on a bright day not so useful, even though tiny objects are hard to see on even a modest display size anyhow. It would be better having a larger viewfinder and lower resolution because the human eye cannot make out extremely fine details (this is a neurological factor, not a limitation of the eye itself). Cons: - Even though it does well in low light at wide angle, the lens speed and image quality is barely better than the much cheaper DSC-HX90V. In fact, lunar photography and distance shots are the biggest shortcomings because of the sacrifice to make the camera so little with a bigger sensor. - Cannot record in the higher-resolution and frame rate movie settings unless you have an appropriate memory card type and class (such as SDXC). Internal memory is no longer available in these newer models, and even Panasonic has dropped this feature, maybe because memory cards are a lot cheaper and larger capacity anymore. * Shorter battery life than on the DSC-HX90V (this is obviously due to processing requirements, so this con is acceptable given the new stacked sensor: DRAM chip). - Although video quality is superior to anything in its class, the noise reduction is absurd and unnecessary, making it worthy shooting in RAW and doing post-processing; JPEG images I found were the best on the original DSC-RX100 (Mark I was not in the name, why?). - Flash photography is not macro-friendly; you must be somewhat distant from the subject to avoid blurriness. This is due to flash syncrhonization timing that works poorly in Auto Mode, but that mode on the DSC-HX90V and its predecessors do well in. Panasonic and Nikon do not have this issue on any of their cameras I owned and tried, so not sure what Sony did wrong - even the NEX-5N was especially bad for this. - Macro performance is not great for very close-up work; Panasonic cameras tend to be better at this. - Must choose high display quality to see WYSIWYG results in photos and videos (this is misleading because the concept is like preview quality over actual render quality in a video editor on a computer). - Another con (not told in my previous review) - the camera body is too small for a microphone input, and no hotshoe. - Very expensive, probably because of the DRAM chip - if videography is not your thing, I would pass on this model and get the DSC-HX90V instead for half the cost. Sadly, I prefer the DSC-HX90V over the DSC-RX100 IV because high-quality video work is used less often, and the cheaper model has photo quality so close that the price point is not as appealing. I really use the zoom a lot, so this latest fourth Mark generation is only fitting for nighttime use where zoom is not so needed. I would not take this to a park or amusement park because of the zoom issue, and the lens is not fast enough in Auto Mode for low-light shots of passing vehicles, for instance. I suggest for low-light use a tripod and set RAW. Regardless whether you use the highest-quality JPEG, it is still too much noise reduction for large prints even at the lowest ISO setting. Due to the nature this camera is more geared for pro-level personal video work and not the greatest photo quality you would find on upscale Panasonic and Canon cameras, I would seriously put a lot of thought into what is best for you. In truth, if size is not an issue (say, you mostly use a DSLR-size camera often), the Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 is the best choice. Read my review on that one - just four stars because of some funky telephoto and rare malfunction issues. Why four stars for the DSC-RX100 IV? Noise reduction in JPEG images and some flash sychronization tweaking can be fixed with a firmware update, but if that were to be expected, Sony would have already done it by now: Common sense. Thanks for reading, and hope you found this review helpful. - Matt Eye

I've had the original RX100 for years now and it's showing wear but works perfectly. It's been everywhere. I sprung for the IV even though the V and the VII have more features that I wasn't interested in. The most impressive feature I love on the IV is the viewfinder. Awesome. I suppose I could have saved a hundred bucks and gotten this with the III but the better faster sensor I wanted. Some dislikes of the original RX100 was how slow it was to turn on and snap. the IV is faster as reported and I love this feature as well. Another dislike was how the original overprocesses Jpegs, smoothing the image out way too much. I wasn't able to adjust this feature on the RX100. I was worried the IV would do this. Not that I can see! Extraordinarily better images in general than the original. My main professional camera is the Panasonic GX8 with three Pro lenses but like all photographers I need a carry around since most of my photos are outdoors. I am so impressed by the image quality of the RX100 IV I find myself using it for pretty spectacular shots when I don't want to carry the bigger camera. Your camera and all the latest cameras probably is all you need but I think the 20 megapixel range that the IV and GX8 have allowed me the best shot at improving the image post processing. I stopped using Canon (60d) and Nikon DSLRs (D800) when Panasonic came out with the GM1. It was so tiny and handled all the Pro lenses from Lumix excellently. As most serious photographers will tell you, pixels are just part of the story. The era of the heavy bulky DSLR for me personally is over. Mirrorless meets my needs and I do not do video. I have stuck with the GX8 because the newer Panny's are getting as big as a DSLR! The GX8 was pushing it some over the smaller GX7 but it's manageable. So, my main gear now is the GX8 and the RX100 IV. So there.

I want to make sure this gets to the top of the review list.... Great camera, great pictures. There's nothing to say really other than the fact that Sony engineers squeezed in an unbelievable array of technology into a very small space to allow you to take great pictures. Now the not-so-great part: SONY SUPPORT IS HORRIBLE. Very, very, very painful experience. One nice feature of the camera you can download applications that ease the configuration of the camera and enhances the future. (You can argue that you shouldn't be paying for these for a camera at this price range, but that's different story.) The problem is when you try to buy these from playmemories web site, you need to take your time, like 6 days. Let me explain... If you buy apps too fast, (yes too fast), Sony locks your account thinking someone stole your account and abusing it. Odd but fair enough. The problem is there's no error message, there's no friendly message, you end up guessing, what the heck happened. In the process you try new credit card etc... Of course none works. Not knowing it's an account lock up issue, I try the next day, still the same problem. OK, time to call Sony Support. I'm sure they can handle this, at the end of the day this is SONY. Not so fast... First you need to find how to contact support. Most of their links on their site doesn't work, or goes to odd places where you keep poking around. Finally I figured out that Playmemories web site is part of Sony Playstation Network. 20 minutes on the phone (or something like that), I get the news that my account has been locked up for 24 hours because of my "fast" purchases. Interesting... I try to explain that my transaction history shows that I already waited 24 hours, doesn't make any difference with the support person. It gets even funnier as we start arguing why I see a different date on my transaction history then what the support guy sees. At one point we were arguing how there cannot be two August 31st on the same date. I'm not making this up. Final result, no resolution. Any how, I wait for 24 hours, again, try purchasing apps again, fail, call support again, wait another 15 minutes on the phone. Similar discussions as earlier. I tell the support guy that I'm going to send the camera back if this is not resolved. He hangs up on me, saying there's nothing they can do. Finally I found their chat option, similar discussions. At one point she blames Paypal etc...She also recommends using Playstation Network Card, to get around the lockup issue. I try to argue that that's a very silly recommendation to fix their payment acceptance process. Despite all my frustration, because it's a great camera to have, I gave in and bought the card online and it solved the problem. So, buy the camera, good luck with the support if you need any.

I got this used so I'll split this up based on what the camera itself and then what's different than what you'd get if buying new. Why even get this when you have a phone? Simply put, the phone is a swiss army knife and this is a dedicated tool. The entire tool is dedicated to one function. I'm not a professional, I just like creating art in different mediums as a hobby and photography isn't even my main one. I'm using this as a tool to supplement my main love, music, to create behind the scenes and promotional content, Instagram stuff, album art, just daily snapshots to try and augment the music. Sometimes I even just take photos for their own sake. I do love taking photos just for fun and do well with a film camera but film is expensive and I can't shoot it as often as digital. Screen and viewfinder are great. The viewfinder is my favorite aspect. I prefer to take photos and frame them using a viewfinder and this one is great for framing up your shot. I'm used to using the viewfinders on my film and instant cameras so this is great with the added bonus that this viewfinder is digital so you get to customize the display to show you all the details that the main LCD would show, just a simple level, a histogram, or nothing. And this digital viewfinder doesn't strain the eye. I forget that I'm not looking through a real viewfinder. It feels like I'm looking through a real glass lens with a heads up display projected onto it. The screen pulls out in such a way that you can get shots on the ground without having to lay down and it flips up for selfie mode. Now, as far as flipping up goes, it seems to cut off the very bottom edge of the display and the hinges don't seem to align right like everything else does. And that's odd because everything else seems so precise and detailed on the camera. I must be missing something because I did make a mistake when trying to use the pop up viewfinder for the first time and missed how you not only have to pop it up but then pull it out for it not to be blurry. The flash... exists. I don't use flash. Never met an occasion where flash on a digital camera helped but that may be from the horrors I've gone through using flash on my phone. The flash pops up, it's nice and simple to hide and leave out of the way when not needed. Picture quality is great. So at this point I'd say it's time to just learn how your camera works otherwise you'll already have made up your mind about this camera. It's got full HD and 4K recording as well as RAW or JPEG images. Right out of the box I just pointed the camera at a random electrical socket and it somehow looked better than what I get out of my iPhone 14 Pro, both in auto mode. I can actually work a full manual camera better, albeit slower, than I can this camera on manual mode because the autofocus throws me off. I'm used to pulling focus, having a fixed ISO, and messing with the aperture. This camera, in 2023, is really only worth it if you are going to learn at least some photography. Yes, the auto mode will take marginally better photos than your smartphone. However, if you need a dedicated project camera, want to do some image editing in RAW or even high quality JPEG then it's amazing. Or if you just want a dedicated camera that's very portable and user friendly. There's a ton of options for automating things away one by one until you're ready for full manual mode so you can use this as a total beginner or a pro. Portability is great. The reason to choose this one over a DSLR for me is just the preference for portability. I know I'm going to stick this in a coat pocket or even the back pocket of my jeans if I have to and easily carry it around. It isn't much thicker than a phone and less wide. I can't see a scenario where you wouldn't mind carrying this around all day but would carry a phone instead. The camera body is metal, not plastic. It looks and feels durable. Yeah, it's from 2015 but it looks like it came from this year. Definitely feels like a premium item in your hands. Now, as far as buying used goes, it was well packaged and mine had a couple of very fine scratches on the back LCD which was in the description. It came packaged well but didn't include all the accessories it was supposed do although that was okay because I got some extras. All in all, I got what was absolutely necessary for the camera to function: - The camera - Sealed battery (unsure if it was resealed or a new one but it is a Sony battery) - Strap and carry case (extra) Normally you just get a wrist strap but this included a whole leather neck strap which I'll use on days I dedicate to shooting while I'll just put it in a pocket for sporadic shooting. The wrist strap was not there and neither was a micro USB cable for charging. I think enough of us have a drawer full of different USB dongles that at least one will be micro-USB and work. I did. The camera was very clean but it could have been dusted a little better. You could tell it had been sitting somewhere waiting for an owner for a long while and has a fine layer of dust in the crevasses. Overall the used condition doesn't bother me at all.

I was especially excited about the High Frame Rate (HFR) recording super slo-mo at 240 to 960 frames per second. Well it turns out it is really just a gimmick since it only records at those speeds for TWO SECONDS. So that function is pretty useless in any real life situation. It would seem like if it can record 960 frames in 2 seconds then it could record at 240 for 8 seconds, but no. My iPhone 6 records at 240fps for as long as I have memory space. Big disappointment! The standard movie functions are fine. It shoot 4K which is the flavor of the month for video. The still pictures are very good and there are lots of manual controls. The pop-up viewfinder is super awesome! This is by far the best thing about this camera. It makes all the difference when you are shooting outdoors. The camera body is quite small and slippery. I think a little more attention to ergonomics by the Sony engineers would have been nice. A rubber grip pad on the front would have made a big difference. It has a good bright lens but the range is very small (24-70). A little more telephoto, like 24 to 105, would make the camera a lot more useful. The camera does not come with a manual, which is kind of strange since there are a million settings and menu items that are not very obvious as to their meaning. Sony is a little cheap in that for a camera this expensive they don't even include a soft case. In the end this is a very nice point and shoot camera but at $1000 it falls short.
