Product Reviews

I have had this camerfor a week and still have lots to learn, but I am loving it! I am particularly pleased to have good manual focus and such fast aytofucus. My only reservations at the moment are the need to connect to my phone for locatio data and the clunky, basic nature of that software interface between camera and phone, etc.

I purchased this 6 months ago and my family, friends and colleagues are all delighted and amazed at the quality of the images

I am thoroughly enjoying the Camera. It is fast and accurate and give very accomplished photographs.

I bought this recently, and am already taking some great photos, even without having fully explored all the features.

Was tired of carrying multiple lenses to get correct shot, can now shoot from landscapes to wildlife with this amazing camera, image quality is comparable in good light.

Bought for my wife who is an experienced amateur nightscape photographer. She was looking for a lightweight, optically excellent camera with top notch (4k) video capability for daytime landscape photography as her ageing Nikon D750s, whilst excellent at night, were now showing their age in daylight. The RX10 iv has lived up to its excellent reviews in all respects and is proving a great buy with its 1st rate lens (no more lens swaps during a shoot) and video capability. The ability to handhold at 600mm due its lightness is a revelation after normal dslr lenses. The only gripes my wife has are the lack of a built in intervalometer and that the touchscreen panel can’t be used to access the menus....

BOUGHT THIS TO UPGRADE FROM AN EXCELLENT RX10M3 So far delighted with my purchase

I used to carry a 150mm-600mm lens and a Canon camera, but getting older it was hard carrying through airports. This camera has a 600mm reach and it worked quite as well in Botswana in 2019. Thoroughly recommend this camera.

I bought this camera to take on a 3 week adventure to Costa Rica (where there is an abundance of birdlife/wildlife to photograph) and having carried kilos of cameras and lenses on my back in the past, this will work well for me in the heat and humidity, (it weighs only 0.7kg and I don't have to change any lenses therefore eliminating the risk of getting dust/humidity on the sensor, as I have expereinced before) and as this RX10 IV has a 24-600mm zoom built in, 4K movie ability, 20.1 MP and 315 autofocus points, etc it meets my needs for mainly my worldwide wildlife photography. I had waited for all of 2020 to see if the RX10 V version was going to be released but there is no sight of it on its way, so I went ahead and bought the RX10 IV version and so far am really pleased with it. Taking wildlife photos around the world is a passion of mine and I believe this camera will be ideal for me on my many adventures and I intend to use this camera on safari to Kenya next year and believe this camera will be perfect for my future trips. My only bug bear is that Sony don't make it easy to explain all the features and have had to watch several Youtube videos and also download my own user guide (I'd recommend Ken Rockwell as he explains everything so well with supporting photos and description in his users guide). Sony really does a great job of hiding useful information about using this camera! However, I would say this RX10 IV is value for money, is versatile to many situations and makes a great travel camera without the need for big backpacks of camera equipment. I have practised using the Sony RX10 IV camera locally and am pleased with the quality of the photos so far, including taking photos in the day and at night. I'm also taking RAW pictures as I am learning to tweak the photos in Photoshop/Lightroom but am still on the learning curve with this. The quality of the photos I have taken so far has been impressive but am still learning all the features the camera has to offer, such as memory recall. Of course I've bought additional Sony batteries and charger, a mobile charger, 1TB portable SSD hard drive, a number of Sandisk Extreme Pro SDXC disks, as this is a requirement if I'm out on all-day trips, as I don't want to get caught out with a dead battery or not enough storage space for photos in the middle of a jungle or on safari.

I bought this to replace a dslr and 150-500mm lens. Have not yet explored all the features but early results excellent

I've finally found a 'bridge' camera that gives me the control to create what I can see in my head. Not cheap and the menus are complicated but the actual use is straight forward. Incredible stabilisation allows for hand held at full zoom. I don't use software to edit photos other than snap seed and crop on Instagram. With this camera I really don't need to either.

I am so pleased that I have changed over to this Sony RX10iv, having come over from a DSLR using a 150-600mm lens I found it much lighter and do not have to carry much to any gear around with me due to my condition and finding it harder to walk these days this fits my needs for my Wildlife photography and the pin sharp eye detail is phenomenal and the amazing 24fps and the looped slow motion is unbelievably good and the pictures really sharp. Just over the moon with it ( and the moon pics are out of this world)

I’ve owners this camera for two months now and I have taken it on a few trips. It performs incredibly well in all conditions. The auto focus is incredible. I cannot fault this camera.

Bought it as I was so frustrated with my Nikon P900.I have not been disappointed, it does what it says on the tin.

I purchased this camera only a couple of weeks ago and it too soon to comment

only had the camera for a week, a great piece of kit with great features. If your a amateur or a professional or somewhere in between you will get great stills and excellent video from this camera 5*

My birthday present...absolutely gorgeous and perfect for me. Neat and lovely finish. I have small hands but this is lovely to hold and on/off/focus and switches are easy to reach. Only had for a week or so and still getting used to it with lots to learn about it. Used on auto for first proper outing so could just practise handling etc. Took some great pictures. I’m chuffed to bits with it.

I PURCHASED THIS CAMERA 1 MONTH AGO AND CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE LIMITED ITS USE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL BRIDGE CAMERAS ANDTHERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE RX 10 IX RANKS ABOVE THESE RE SPECIFICATION, DESIGN, BUILD QUALITY AND PICTURE QUALITY - IT IS EASILY APPARENT WHY THE CAMERA IS AT THE HIGH COST END OF THE BRIDGE CAMERA CATEGARY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING TO GRIPS WITH THE MANY FACILITIES AVAILABLE ON THE CAMERA. THIS IS MY FIRST SONY CAMERA BUT OWN SONY HIFI EQUIPMENT WHICH ALWAYS IMPRESSED.

Recently purchased as alternative to lugging a big telephoto & DSLR around. Had some doubts but took the plunge & so far glad that I did. Have taken some good shots but up to now only as testers. Yet to put it to the test for actual situations. Will mainly hope to use this camera for wildlife, particularly birds. Here’s hoping.

I had been happy with my RX10 III, accept the time to focus on telephoto. Since the camera was damaged when it was accidently dropped I changed to the RX10 IV with the improved focusing . I've yet to 'fully' test it but I am pleased with some of the additional/new features.

On the whole extremely pleased with the camera having been recommended it by a friend. The lens is superb and very rapid to achieve point of focus. Many features and the ability to programme buttons is great. A couple of issue which are annoying. Firstly why have a touch screen which you can only use for focussing? Many cameras now have a full touch screen allowing access to the menus. Secondly having an in camera battery charger is a nuisance, it would have been much better to have had an out of camera charger allowing charging of a spare battery whilst using a spare one Becuase of these niggles only 4 and not 5 stars.

Brought about a month ago Still learning However have got some super shots I love the camera and will have lots of enjoyment with it

This is the best bridge camera I've ever bought (and I've bought many!). It has yielded the best images I've ever captured. Outstanding autofocus in challenging situations. I'm so glad that I waited and saved to get this RX10, instead of making compromises for the sake of time and money. It has made my photography even more rewarding.

I purchased this product three weeks ago because i needed a setup that was similar to my old dslr setup,long heavy lenses etc. It suits that purpose very well. It has some wonderful features, and above all, it is light enough to carry around all day long. It looks like my old dslr.

I have had the camera for 6 weeks now and I am delighted with the capabilities I have found with the camera. I particularly like the fast lens and the zoom capability.

I've had my RX10iv fo a month now and I love it. It's the first proper camera I've owned and after getting to grips with using settings for the first time ever, I love it. The build quality is great; it's sturdy and robust and feels lovely to handle. It's pretty easy to use and transfer your shots to a tablet or pc. I bought mine to take better shots of aircraft and it hasn't disappointed; the photos I'm able to take are far better than any camera I've ever owned. The reviews I read before I bought it were spot on; the Sony Rx10iv is a brilliant choice for anyone thinking of buying a 'bridge' camera.

I've only had the camera for two weeks and have had some great results compared to my Non-Bridge camera.

I bought this camera as I didn't want to go down the " big bag of bits " route. I prefer one camera to do it all, I know this isn't always the case but the Sony dsc rx10 mk4 is as close as you'll get at the moment. It has good close up capability, a reasonable zoom and fast focusing for moving shots. Here are some recent pictures.

Had the camera a month ....first impressions are excellent a lot to learn. The ultimate bridge camera

i have the camera for 2 weeks and if you can handle all the buttons ,you can make amazing pictures, find an youtube good instuctions.

Bought for hubby who is very pleased with it. Lots to learn yet but already taken some stunning photos

Taken from argos.co.uk

I bought this camera as I wanted to move to an advanced camera that would also be great for travel etc but didn't want the extra expense and weight of various lenses. Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend.

I have had the camera 4 weeks now and due to the weather have only been out twice to try it out. So far the results have been very good but not "spectacular". I changed to a bridge camera as I was fed up with the hassle of changing lenses on my DSLR. I had done a lot of on-line research about the various bridge cameras available in my price range and having watched various video reviews & read the reviews in various camera magazines I felt the RX10 IV was my best option. As with all "multi-function" cameras the User Manual is extremely long (yes, I do sit and read them!) and I found it one of the least user friendly I have come across - some of the explanations are very difficult to follow and unless you are a professional photographer difficult to understand there relevance (I am a keen amateur - at best). It could have been because I have changed back to Sony from 25years of using Nikon camera's. I am very pleased with the quality of the photograph's I have taken so far, particularly when at full zoom.

I bought the RX10 IV to replace a Nikon D750 and multiple zoom and wide angle lenses, its was a tough decision as the Nikon is a great DSLR but i never seems to have quite the right lens to hand ad i didn't want to carry them all with me. I was prepared to have to compromise BUT so far i have been astonished at how good the lens and the great results i am getting from zoom, macro and street work. as an all round single lens camera i don't think you can better this camera. Not cheap but you get what you pay for, amazing versatility and brilliant image quality. the image quality versus sensor size is stunning.

Love my new Sony camera ,, easy for close up and distance all with one lens, its a new hobby for me and it makes photography very simple

I bought this to replace my SLR and all the lenses etc as I never used it much as lugging it around was a pain. The Sony RX10M4 covers everything my old kit did and more with so many great features. I would highly recommend this camera for anyone who wants to take fantastic photos without the hassle of carrying loads of kit with you.

I have had the camera for 2 years and it is a brilliant "One Stop Camera ", from macro to telephoto and all between. You need to study the handbook to get the best out of it.

Only just bought camera so will write review in a week or so

Saw the results this camera produced compared to my Nikon P900 and was very impressed. The Nikon is a a fantastic camera for the price, -the RX10 IV is 3 times the price of the Nikon- but I wanted the picture quality of the Sony. Only had the Sony a week so still unfolding it's potential.

Bought in the middle of a pandemic so haven't been able to get out much, few photos of our cats and a few outside by the river have given me pretty good results, want to get off auto settings but need guidance from more experienced friends when we can meetvuon

This is an amazing camera. I am a quite keen wildlife photographer, and most of my images have been taken with a Canon DSLR. Having bought the Sony and tried it out for some days, I have taken the huge step of selling all my Canon equipment in order to pay for the Sony and have NO regrets. It is not so good in low light, but exceeds all my expectations in every other respect. I cannot recommend it too highly.

still learning how to use it, so far a Great ! wee camera.

Great picture quality, light and simple to use. Fantastic options for a PRO photographer as well as the Novice

I have had this a couple of weeks and am already getting some great shots. The quality of the photo and moving is excellent and very easy to use with plenty of bells and whistles.

As a long term user of a CSC with a bagful of lenses, I wanted a quality bridge camera for everyday out & about use. The Sony RX10 iv fits the bill perfectly,is a quality product and delivers top results for a 1 inch sensor. The Sony menu lives up to it's reputation. It is comprehensive & only reveals it's worth after much study & reference to third party explanations.

My main subject of photography is wild life and whilst I have another DSLR with a long lens, my Sony RX10 iv has become my "go to" camera for everyday work. My only concern is that above 800 ISO the picture quality is quite grainy which makes using it in poor light or in winter a bit difficult.

I bought this camera, before heading for holidays. After 3 months, I very happy with this purchase. I used to have other Sony cameras, but this model is the best I've ever had. Making pictures is very easy. The best feature of this camera is an outstanding optical zoom.

Used to have lots of gear. DSLR with various lenses. All gone and replaced by one camera. Check it out.

I have not really had much chance to use this camera as we are in a period of self isolation, but so far it has been excellent. One small gripe is the poor battery life.

Bought this camera about 8 weeks ago and took it to The Gambia on a birdwatching trip. Took 9600 photos and most of them are just awesome. This camera has allowed me to photos I couldn't have dreamed of as an amateur photographer. Its auto focus and tracking are fantastic. thank you Sony.

I bought this just over a month ago and pleased with the results

I have used other bridge cameras in the past and DSLR's as well. But I am at an age now that doesn't want to carry lenses. So after looking at videos and talking to a friend that owns a RX10 Mk3 I decided to go for the Mk4. And I don't think that I made a mistake. It does everything that I want and better.

haven't had time to try camera out to date, looking forward to getting out and taking some photos, seems to be well made and has plenty of features, I am only a novice, but hope to get some reasonable results.

I bought this camera two weeks ago and I’m very pleased that I did, the focus speed is amazing. Perfect for birding
