Overview

The Sony RX10 IV (model DSCRX10M4/BRE) is a high-performance bridge camera designed with a 1-inch stacked CMOS sensor that provides high-resolution 20.1MP still images and 4K video capture with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. It features a ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-600mm equivalent zoom lens with a fast f/2.4-4 aperture range, delivering superior optical quality throughout the zoom range. The BIONZ X image processor combined with the front-end LSI ensures rapid processing speeds for high-speed continuous shooting up to 24fps and quick autofocus calculations.

Advanced autofocus capabilities include 315 phase-detection AF points covering approximately 65% of the image area, Real-time Eye AF and Real-time Tracking for precise subject tracking, and minimal lag. The camera supports internal 4K recording with full pixel readout and advanced video features such as S-Log3 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) profiles for professional-grade color grading and HDR workflows. The rugged build is enhanced by a durable magnesium alloy body and weather sealing for versatile shooting environments.

Key Advantages

The Sony RX10 IV offers an impressive 24-600mm equivalent zoom range making it extremely versatile for various shooting scenarios from wide-angle landscapes to distant wildlife. Its 1-inch stacked CMOS sensor and high-speed BIONZ X processor enable excellent image quality and rapid continuous shooting performance. The autofocus system is highly advanced with 315 phase detection points and Real-time Eye AF, providing fast and accurate subject acquisition. The camera excels in video capabilities with internal 4K recording, S-Log3 gamma profiles, and slow-motion capture up to 960fps. The electronic viewfinder and tilting LCD screen facilitate flexible composition and framing. Additionally, robust build quality with weather sealing ensures durable performance in challenging conditions.

Limitations

The RX10 IV's 1-inch sensor, while excellent, cannot match the low-light performance and shallow depth of field effects of larger APS-C or full-frame sensors. The camera is relatively bulky and heavy compared to smaller mirrorless or compact cameras, reducing portability. Battery life is moderate and may require carrying extra batteries for extended shooting sessions. The fixed lens design limits lens upgradeability, which some photographers might find restrictive. While video features are robust, it lacks some professional video functions like full-frame sensor video or RAW video output. The touchscreen functionality is limited mainly to focus point selection rather than navigation. The price point is higher compared to entry-level cameras with smaller sensors.
