SONY RX10IV High Zoom Digital Camera
Featuring the world’s fastest1 AF acquisition time of 0.03 seconds2 and up to 24 fps4 continuous shooting with full AF/AE tracking, a 315 point phase-detection AF system as well as an exceptionally versatile 24-600mm3 F2.4-F4 ZEISS Vario Sonnar T lens, the new RX10 IV delivers an unmatched combination of mobility and speed for imaging enthusiasts and professionals looking for the ultimate ‘all-in-one’ solution.

---|---|---|
World’s Fastest1 AF acquisition speed of 0.03 sec. 2The RX10IV features the world’s fastest1 AF acquisition time thanks to its 1" Exmor RS stacked back illuminated CMOS sensor w/ DRAM and fast Hybrid AF system that combines the respective advantages of 315 phase-detection AF points - covering approximately 65% of the sensor - and contrast-detection AF to ultimately enable the camera to lock focus in as little as 0.03 seconds2. Subjects can be tracked and captured with precise detail and clarity within the extensive 24-600mm3 range. |
Incredible Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensorThis large 1” (1.0-type) back illuminated Exmor RS stacked image sensor with DRAM chip not only enhances efficiency and speed of A/D conversion through its stacked structure due to more circuit sections; it also realizes super-fast readout speed - thanks to a DRAM chip integrated into the sensor structure. Together with the BIONZ X processing engine and front-end LSI, it allows for stunning 20.1-megapixels at up to 24fps4 continuous shooting up to 249 frames5 with AF/AE tracking, blazingly fast shutter speed of up to 1/32000 sec., breathtaking 4k6 movie and super slow-motion HFR7 (High Frame Rate) movie clip recording of up to 960fps (40x), not to mention remarkable low-light low-noise capability. |
ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm3 ultra-zoom lensThe astonishing 24-600mm3 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens features a large maximum aperture of F2.4-F4.0, helping it achieve outstanding image quality throughout the entire ultra-telephoto zoom range. Eight ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements including two ED aspherical and one Super ED lenses compensate for the chromatic aberration while the ZEISS T* Coating helps reduce flare and ghosting. This incredible lens also features built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and a minimum focusing distance of 2.36 ft. with 0.49x maximum magnification for tele-macro photography. |

24 fps4 up to 249 frames5 with AF/AE trackingDesigned to allow for high resolution, continuous shooting at high frame rates, the RX10 IV features a BIONZ X image processing engine with front-end LSI that achieves high-speed continuous shooting of 20.1-megapixel images at up to 24 fps4 with full AF/AE tracking, and an impressive buffer limit of up to 249 images5. With the significant improvements in processing power for the RX10 IV, EVF display lag during continuous shooting has been substantially reduced, allowing you to capture the decisive moment with ultimate confidence. Also, for convenience during image playback, continuously shot images can be displayed in groups instead of individual shots. |
4K6 movie w/ direct pixel readout, no pixel binning and fast AFRX10 IV offers the advantages of 4K6 (QFHD 3840 x 2160) movie recording, with its Fast Hybrid AF system, realizing fast and accurate focusing speed and AF tracking for video. In 4K6 mode, the new RX10 IV utilizes full pixel readout without pixel binning, capturing approximately 1.7x more information than is required for 4K6 movie output ensuring that all the finest details are captured accurately. Utilizing the XAVC S9 codec to record video at a high data rates, users have the option of shooting at either 24p or 30p in 4K6 mode up to 100mpbs, or in frame rates of up to 120p in Full HD mode. |
Super-speed Anti-Distortion ShutterThe super-speed Anti-Distortion Shutter has a maximum shutter speed of up to 1/32000 second, which minimizes the “rolling shutter” effect commonly experienced with fast moving subjects. This blazingly fast shutter speed also allows the camera to capture sharp, crystal clear images with a wide open aperture in bright conditions. Shooting at wide aperture with fast shutter speed allows photographers and videographers to capture beautiful content with sharply focused subjects and defocused backgrounds under some of the most difficult, bright lighting conditions. |

High-density Tracking AF technology.For the first time on a RX-series camera, advanced high-density tracking AF technology - which had only been previously available in a select few of Sony’s acclaimed line of α interchangeable lens cameras - concentrates AF points around a subject to improve tracking and focus accuracy, allowing even the most unpredictable subjects including fast-moving athletes and birds in flight to be captured with ease. |
Optical SteadyShot image stabilizationThe built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization helps to reduce image blur caused from camera shake, equivalent to approximate 4.5 stops shutter speed improvement, which is especially handy at high magnification when the lens is fully extended to 600mm, but equally as good throughout the entire zoom range. |
Tele-macro up to 600mm3 as close as 2.36 ft.With a minimum focusing distance of 2.36 ft (72 cm) and 0.49x maximum magnification at a fully extended 600mm3, the ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm3 F2.4-F4.0 lens is capable of producing amazingly detailed tele-macro images. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However... I have become more practical. Traveling with my Nikon and its variety of lenses (the prime 55mm, a 24-85MM, and the 85-200) isn;t convenient... they are bulky, and my family gets annoyed everytime I ask them to stop so I can swap out lenses.
Soooo... for the last few years, I have decided to leave my Nikon at home and travel with my Fuji X100V (for portraits, landscapes and etc) and this... the SonyRX10 IV. I use this Sony for all of the reach I can get.... which is significant.
Notes-
- Let's address picture quality first. This camera is not in the same league as my Nikon D850 - especially when the Nikon is paired with high-quality lenses. The sharpness, saturation, low light capability, and etc are much closer to a camera phone than a high-quality DSLR. However, that is ok.. most of the time. I you are just trying to capture shots (and not trying to sell prints) this Sony is almost always "good enough" .
- Convenience - so that is what it is all about - one camera that can do it all. I stick this thing in my backpack and I don't need to worry about multiple lenses.... plus I have the equivalent of a 600mm lens, even when I travel with a DSLR I never bring anything with that kind of reach. So instead of packing my DSLR and 3 to 4 lenses (which is around 10k in equipment) I just carry the Sony (and my Fuji). This makes travel so much easier.
- Focus - lightning fast and usually pretty accurate.
- Battery life- meh- buy an extra battery. Also, buy an external battery pack so you can charge the camera on the go!
- Ease of use - Super easy to use in auto... but good luck trying to figure out how to shoot this thing in manual. I am also not a huge fan of the compensators location. I accidentally rolled it to a +2 and washed out a half dozen photos before I noticed.
- Video - I have only used it rarely, but it is a capable camera. The slow motion capabilities are not necessarily easy to use, but it can record at unmatched frame-rates.
- Low light capability... well it will probably beat your cell phone due to the 1" sensor, but it is still limited for indoor use. Thus the need for a decent point-and-shoot camera. Something like the Fuji X100v is a perfect compliment since it *can* take high quality portraits both indoors and out.
- Zoom - it really is fantastic to have so much reach. We find ourselves using the camera with it's optical (and sometimes digital) zoom as a substitute for binoculars. As long as you are outdoors the zoom can be paired with the appropriate shutter speed to help eliminate camera shake. I have never needed to use it with a tripod.
Final Verdict - A great camera for travel... or the occasional (outdoor) sporting event. It doesn't produce the high quality photos that you'd get from your DSLR, but if you are just posting photos on FB.... no one will ever notice (unless they are also a camera snob!)
I bought the Panasonic FZ2500 a couple of weeks ago and, also, the RX10IV Sony. I got tired of reading reviews of which one was best and decided to compare them side by side. IMHO the Panasonic is a far out camera. It has more function buttons than you can shake a stick at. It has all the buttons and great thought out planning. I think the word is the ergonomics of the camera is great other than they should have placed the battery a little farther over from the tripod insert. The weight is just superb compared to the RX10IV and I do not care if it has less magnesium aluminum than the RX10IV! Now lets talk about things that makes me a little angry, yes, the Panasonic FZ2500 has time lapse and 3 { I made a mistake I think there are 6 adjustments} adjustments for built in nd filters. TheRX10 series once did and now does not. I get the feeling that Panasonic says, "Here let me try to serve you with the best possible bridge camera that I can build," and Sony says, " Well, I am going to take away your filters and your time lapse, but if you are lucky and one more bridge camera later, I will offer it to you if you got more jingle in your pocket."
I have bought Alexander White's book and on p. 88 he talks about using the DRO ( Dynamic Range Optimizer) on the RZ10IV. It can take the place of the dn filters and uses the contrast of 3 or more pictures and stack them together, thus evens out the bright and dark spots of the photograph. it is called HDR (High Dynamic Range) and solves some of the problems that a neutral density filter would do on photos, but I do not think it works for the video part of the camera, not yet sure about that. The book also tells about 3 or 4 remotes that can be purchased and discusses the Vello Shutterboss III wireless remote that does the most things. You can set up a series of indefinite series of shots. You can set up intervals between shots for 100 hrs less one second for intervals for time-lapse photos. If you decide to get this you must specify the model for the Sony Multi terminal.
I heard that Sony Enterprise was very much hurt by the earthquake a few years back and it was very important for the RX10IV to do well. I have the feeling that the withdrawal of certain accessories on the RX10 series had a lot to do with it. They had to make a quality product but there were also a profit margin that had to be achieved to lift Sony out of the belly of the red. Just guessing. I hope for its great success for many years to come. What a great camera, but it is to bad they had to take some accessories off it.
I bit the bullet and bought the RX10IV or Mark four and sent the Panasonic back. How many reviewers, other than professionals have actually written in that they have tried both cameras side by side? I have! The lens and the processor of the Mark 4 takes the prize, and it is just unbelievable.
Sony has made improvements on the menu, even though the camera is heavier than the FZ2500, it is water and dust resistant. The Panasonic is not. This camera's Zeiss lens is so very good! I am 74 years old and I feel this camera could very well be the last camera that I will buy. However, if the Panasonic FZ2500 had this same lens I would have bought the Panasonic. I have been buying Panasonic bridge cameras for a while and I own the FZ200 and FZ1000, both are very good cameras. I must have got one of the better Panasonic FZ2500's because this one had a very good lens. The only reason, for me buying the FZ2500 would be for its outstanding video capabilities. As it is, I can take my ultra high definition videos on my FZ1000 and convert them to 8 megapixel stills, If I so desire, another thing that the Sony cannot do.
In the old days when Sears Mail Order was king and in their catalogs they would feature three similar products, one being good, the next one being better, and the next being best. I would classify the FZ2500 Panasonic as being very, very good, and the Sony RX10IV being the best.
My final word is, Sony has read me perfectly, It was worth the extra money for me to buy RX10IV, because of its superb lens.
January 8, 2018: Now that I have had this camera for around 3 months I have to admit it is the best camera that I have ever wrapped my hands around and I have a closet full of Canons and Minolta Cameras along with a bag full of lens. I am an Amateur but this is one sweet camera! With the Zeiss lens, I think it is the best all around camera in the world.
Happy picture taking!

I think everyone that has never seen the RX10IV at its best should turn to U-tube and pullup :
Sony RX10IV 4k Sample Video All-real World & Lab Testing Footage by Jay Sony Apha Lab.
He takes a 4K video with his RX10 camera. It has zoom shots of geese on a lake.These zoom shots are spectacular. These zooms do not stop at 600mm, but just like the energizer bunny just keeps on going and going, right on up to 100x. I watched those videos and wept I was so jealous. IMHO videos such as these will eventually be the demise of the ILC.
Up date 03-07-2019 Final note: Sony has a problem organizing their cameras. They do not do as well as the Canon cameras. I am trying to say the right words to express what I am trying to say. There should be an easier way of scrolling through their different subject matter of programs to make it easier to find out what the camera does. Again, Alexander White's book is a God sent book for the RX10Mk4. It is a complicated camera and once you figure the system out, it will do about anything that camera's do with in reason and then some. It is a wonder camera but it is complicated and Sony has always had trouble making their cameras less complicated and simpler to use.
Bottom line the Sony RX10MK4 camera has an one inch sensor that slows the camera down a little in low-light situations.
I love this camera but it is easy to forget what you have learned with this camera that has so many complicated things to learn, being a 75 year old man that I am.

Malgré son petit capteur de seulement 1", la qualité d'image est excellente, et l'appareil est littéralement un concentré de ce que Sony fait de mieux en matière de photo, de vidéo et d'électronique, avec une liste de caractéristiques et de possibilités qui donne le vertige.
Ce n'est cependant pas un appareil parfait : en regard de ses dimensions, il surprend d'abord par son poids élevé (qui s'explique par l'amplitude de son zoom).
Malgré une poignée de bonnes dimensions, on ne sait jamais trop comment le prendre en main et le manipuler, tandis que les multiples bruits mécaniques liés aux mouvements de déploiement et de rétraction de son énorme zoom amènent inévitablement à se poser la question de la fiabilité à long terme, et surtout du coût d'éventuelles réparations ou d'un simple dépoussiérage.
Si on y ajoute le fait qu'il s'affiche à un prix très élevé (et 50% plus cher qu'un Lumix FZ1000 !), le RX10 IV est un pensez-y-bien avant de l'acheter...
