Had an upcoming trip with the grandkids and did not want to be carrying a full size backpack with for my camera and lenses as I usually do. So I began checking and researching cameras that would best fulfill my needs. This Sony, (I shoot Canon), ticked almost all the boxes for me. Had a couple of days to play with it and learn the menus, (ouch), and functions before the trip. It would be helpful if there were more functions or controls on the body so you would not have to go into the menus for
some of the basics. Lighted shooting for photos and video was sharp and accurate and as expected darker situations were more challenging but you learn to compensate and accept what it can do and can’t, had my share of grainy ones. And don’t expect much out of the on camera flash, had a few shots with a nice lens shadow, was able to crop it out. Better to invest in a decent mountable flash. I am very happy with what this camera could do and it’s a lot easier packing and traveling. Being a Total Tech member at Best Buy, I could have returned it if I was not satisfied, but decided to keep and use it for my upcoming trips. If Sony makes an updated version that addresses a couple of the shortcomings, (sensor size, controls), I would probably purchase it. Expensive, but for my purposes, worth it.

I have shot DSLRs and ILCs for years, but have also sought out long zoom all in ones for travel and quick shots. Most have been disappointing, with either good quality but short zooms or long zooms but low iq, until I tried the Sony. It takes phenomenal pictures at both ends and is a joy to use. My Fuji XT2 is jealous since I rarely shoot with her anymore.

I have read a number of reviews and mulled over the decision to get this camera and have not been disappointed(with one exception). First the good.
Fast and I mean fast sports mode at 24 fps
Fast zoom and it can go all the way to 2400mm digital zoom but some quality is lost doing that.
Excellent quality slow mo and 4k video.
Good low light quality and anti-shake.
My only complaint would be that in HFR mode(slo mo) i can not zoom in and the amount of time it can record is limited.
Good bokeh also.
Overall i am very happy with the purchase.

This camera has exceeded my expectations, the auto focus is very fast and accurate. Image quality is better then expected for a small sensor with long focal length.
between the auto focus and image quality this is a better choice than other cameras with more focal length!

This is the best camera I have ever owned. I am an original bridge camera guy and I started shooting the Panasonic Fz-200, then I went to the 300. . These camera’s were great but I bought this one after reading 9000 reviews and it works the best. I bought a book to help me as I continue to take fantastic photos and just getting into the video end of it, but I will say that nothing. Ones close to this camera unless you want to spend $ 5000.00
and still change a lot of glass!

I upgraded to the RX10 iv from the model iii prior to a photography trip to Costa Rica and am very glad I did. Autofocusing was noticeably faster than the previous model. I came home with great shots of birds in motion as well as macro shots of tiny frogs and telephoto shots of far off animals. I was the only Sony camera user among the group of Canon and Nikon DSLR afficionados and feel that my camera performed as well, if not better than the most of the others. And without the hassle of hauling extra lenses. The Model iii is an excellent camera but upgrading to the iv was worth it to me for the quicker autofocus.

I did a LOT of comparison of various bridging model cameras like the Sony RX10 on-line and in store of similar type ( Nikon, Lumix, etc ) cameras. This one is great and the pictures are fantastic.
Over the years, I have purchased a lot of nice higher end point & shoot smaller size cameras with the best and longest lens possible for shooting wildlife and international travel due the size and convenience Mostly of them were either Panasonic Lumix or Sony DSC zoom cameras. The pictures were good but there was always issues with lighting and action of wildlife in lower light settings and grainy at full zoom when I cropped and enlarged the pictures. I decided I would make the jump from the $350 – $500 smaller size compact zoom lens point & shoot cameras to this Sony Cyber shot RX10.
I have had this camera about a month and am still learning about all the features. It doesn’t come with a manual but can be accessed and downloaded from online locations. I downloaded and printed the fist 100 pages (of the comprehensive 596 total page document) to start understanding the camera better and the features .
Since getting the camera, I have shot a lot of wildlife (mostly birds) experimenting with both with the auto focus and manual focus features of the RX10 IV and the zoom. I also photographed a lot of people and events inside and outside, with and without the flash, in the daylight and at night time. It has a cool feature on it I discovered by accident, but read up on it afterwards that as I was shooting a few short videos, I was able to take still photos as well at the same time as shooting the video.
I am enjoying this camera so much, every day I want to get out and shoot more pics and experiment and learn more of the features. The pictures and videos have turned out great. The ones inside at an event dance were wonderful and I have never had indoor flash or otherwise pics turn out so good, with such clarity and in low light. The detail on birds and wildlife is very impressive, both inflight and in the trees.
The first weekend I was shooting I was very impressed with the quality and clarity of the zoom at 600 max, shooting a couple doves on a branch about 100 yrds away about 30 feet in the air. When I downloaded the pictures and zoomed in and cropped the pictures. took some of the shadows out of the picture, the clarity was wonderful at that range.
For comparison…. I went through some of my picture files to show the difference in picture quality.
*The first two pictures ( woodpeckers) were shot with my old point & shoot Sony DCS-DCSHX80 30X point & shoot at full zoom.
*The last two were shot with my new Sony Cyber shot RX10 IV at about the same distance as the first two pictures and very similar lighting. Enlarge these and see the comparison of detail.
IF you are considering the jump in $$ from your high quality point & shoot zoom to a bridging camera with a great zoom lens range, and quality lens, I highly recommend this camera. You will be glad you made the upgrade!
This is only the 2nd review of any product I have purchased and written a review about in my life. I am VERY impressed and glad I purchased the camera!

This is a professional quality camera with two major benefits not seen in any of its competitor products: 1) it has Sony’s best autofocus system and 2) it has the longest zoom range of any camera of this type except for one model from Nikon which is inferior in every respect.
1. Autofocus. You will want to use the “center lock-on AF” option whenever you have a moving subject. This causes the camera to dynamically focus on your intended object even if it moves in the frame and even if it temporarily moves OUT of the frame and then back in. If you are trying to photograph moving objects (children, animals) this feature is a game-changer. It even works BOTH for movies and still shots. No camera manufacturer has autofocus as good as Sony. This camera can focus in 0.03 seconds without the “hunting” seen in contrast-detection autofocus systems.
2. The lens. This lens is nothing short of spectacular. You can get reasonable wide angle shots and stunning telephoto shots without changing lenses. The goal of all photography is to “get the shot” which is more difficult if you have to fumble to change the lens when you need either a wider or more telephoto shot. You don’t need to do that with this camera due to the incredible lens range. This lens is also tack sharp at all focal lengths. To get comparable-quality lenses for an interchangeable lens camera you would have to spend at least $2000 for each of at least 2 lenses!
Some have suggested that the sensor on this camera is too small for low light work. I can tell you I sold a micro 4/3 camera which a sensor about twice as large as the 1 inch sensor in this camera, and this camera takes better pictures, including in low light.
The price is high on this camera; no other camera manufacturer makes a “point and shoot” camera this expensive, but as in all other areas in life, you get what you pay for. This is the kind of camera one would want to buy and use for literally everything for years.
I couldn’t be happier with it.
