The Sony Cybershot DCS-RX100IV is a compact camera for advanced photographers. The Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* lens has a large maximum aperture of f/1.7 and a zoom range of 24-70mm. This range makes the camera suitable for both vacation photography and everyday use. The RX100IV is equipped with a fast image processor, making it possible to capture 16 frames per second. In super-slow-motion mode, the camera takes up to 960 frames per second. At this speed, even the smallest details become visible.

I own a few Sony cameras myself, so choosing this compact was a logical choice. From a film perspective this is an ideal compact camera, the menus are like most other professional cameras making it very user friendly. The quality that comes out of this little beast is sublime, but you have to be aware of its limitations compared to other more professional Sony cameras (video codec, ISO, ND filter,...) The option to shoot 4k and work in Slog2 is ideal, images are sharp and clear and the choice of frame rates is unparalleled. You can shoot from 24 fps to 960 fps, although the quality does decrease with the last option. Also for photos you have everything you can imagine on board and the quality of this is beautiful. Especially if you take photos in RAW, you can edit them nicely afterwards, because of its larger sensor you can create a nice depth effect and thus make professional-looking photos. The camera is made of a type of aluminum, which makes it feel sturdy and can probably take a beating. Due to its compactness, it can sometimes feel a bit like you have little grip on the device, so be sure to put on the arm strap. The lens itself is sharp and has a decent zoom range, but it doesn't go very far due to its compact shape. The battery life is decent, but I recommend to provide extra batteries if you want to take a lot of photos and videos. A slightly bigger drawback is the price. Despite all the options and gadgets, 1000 euros for such a device is not nothing. Its older brother, the MK3, costs a lot less with more or less the same options. But if you really want the best of the best, it's a no-brainer. This is the perfect device for anyone who wants to take a professional device with them to events or on leave, but still wants to put it in their pocket.

Decent compact camera as a supplement to dslr, but some adjustments due to the fact that some settings cannot be quickly adjusted with 1 button. However, it is more than made up for by the fantastic image quality and the compact dimensions.

I was looking for a compact camera but with a good sensor in it. I had a SLR for this, but it was never taken because of the weight. The RX100 is the only camera with the combination of a 1-inch sensor, Electronic viewfinder and a large aperture throughout the zoom range.
