An EVF, 16fps shooting and 40x slow motion are desirable features, but we'd have liked a touchscreen to speed up focusing, so it's four stars for Features & Build.We were impressed by the Mk IV's ability to record 4K video and shoot at 16fps, but writ...
Impressive slowmotion video capture, Remarkably compact design, Refreshingly easy to use, despite the wealth of features, 4K resolution video and still image capture, Good lowlight performance, Useful articulated LCD screen
Limited zoom range, No touchscreen control, The electronic viewfinder is too small and unreliable
Video capture in 4K, or at 40x slow motion, is particularly impressive on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IV. It is also very easy to use, despite diminutive buttons, thanks to its responsive user-interface and handy lens collar dial. The EVF is less than...
There's no denying that the RX100 IV is a hugely impressive camera. At this price it really needs to be. It's not perfect, but there's nothing here that I'd classify as a deal-breaker. Its only real problem is some formidable competition. I prefer the Can...

The pocketable compact to beat, excellent image quality, built-in electronic viewfinder, fast aperture lens, customisable control ring
Hugely expensive, autofocus performance could be yet faster, still no touchscreen, limited bump over third-gen predecessor
There's no escaping it - the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV is one pricey compact camera. Is that the price of perfection? Almost. The main thing to weigh-up in the mind is whether this latest model is worth the extra £250 over its predecessor. The extra...
Excellent image quality, 4K videos, Brilliantly fun HFR mode, Pocket-sized
Prohibitive price, Limited zoom range
I can't think of any current pocket-sized cameras that can best it So yes, the RX100 IV is expensive. Older versions of the same camera the RX100 III and the RX100 II are currently priced at about £570 and £350 respectively, so you'll be paying a premium...
Sony is reclaiming the pocket camera throne. The high-end point-and-shoot market has never been more competitive. Panasonic , Canon , Nikon , Ricoh , and Sony all have skin in the game. And while Sony's RX10 series is still tops, once again Sony has c...
Compact design, 2.35milliondot OLED viewfinder, Excellent picture quality, 180° swivel screen, Programmable lens ring, WiFi and NFC, Comprehensive range of video modes, including 4K, HFR modes with slowmotion video to 1000 fps
Lens quality isn't consistent over the frame, Menus are too dense and complex, Tends to get hot, Battery life could be better, Slow startup, Not enough connection ports for a camera with these video capabilities, SDXC card required to film XAVCS
The RX100 IV is a great camera that's packed with functions and with Sony's finest technology—no-one can doubt that. However, we'd hesitate to recommend this model as it's needlessly complex and doesn't feel naturally straight-forward to use. It seems lik...
High, resolution viewfinder, Tilting screen, Large sensor, 4K video
High price, No touchscreen, Limited raw functionality
The RX100 IV follows in the illustrious footsteps of its predecessors, delivering better image quality than ever. But the absence of a touchscreen and some minor niggles mean it can't quite justify its high price...
1-inch, 20.1MP “stacked” CMOS sensor, Outstanding photos and videos, 4K and super-slow-motion modes, Improved EVF
Even pricier than before, Limited focal range, Mediocre battery life
Like the RX100 Mark III, the Mark IV earns our Editor's Choice. This small package is expensive and it's a niche camera, but it's possibly the best compact digicam you can buy; there is some truly amazing enhanced performance over its predecessor and th...
Impressive resolution for a camera so small, Advanced video capabilities including 4K and slow motion recording, 16fps continuous shooting, Electronic shutter (allowing shutter speeds of up to 1/32000sec to be used), Built-in Wi-Fi & NFC connectivity, USB
Reduced battery life (280 shots), No touchscreen functionality, No rubberised handgrip, Small buttons
The improvements that have been made to the RX100 IV are centred around its new sensor. The repositioning of the high-speed circuitry has resulted in it being able to shoot faster and offer unique video capabilities such as high frame rate mode that allow...
