The RX 100 family from the very beginning included top-level compacts comparable in features (and price) to some DSLRs; This fourth model was no exception. It is built on the basis of a 1" back-illuminated CMOS sensor with a resolution of 20 MP, in combination with a Bionz X processor, the capabilities of which are enough for continuous shooting at a speed of 16 fps and video recording in resolution up to 4K, inclusive. At the same time, the minimum shutter speed in the camera Sony RX100 IV it is claimed at the level of 1/32000 s. Thus, the high aperture of the lens — f / 1.8 – f / 2.8 will be especially useful; also from the characteristics of the optics it is worth noting the built-in stabilizer and the possibility of manual focus both with a 3" swivel display and a 2.36 million-dot elec...tronic viewfinder. Shooting formats include RAW, and you can transfer footage and remotely control the camera via Wi-Fi. The camera body is made of aluminium alloy.

Video reviews

In its segment, the brainchild of Sony takes the position of the undisputed leader, second only to its own heir, which is the Sony RX100 V.

Full hardware

The camera has everything you need for photo and video shooting at an advanced amateur or semi-professional level. This is a fast lens from Zeiss (f / 1.8-2.8) with a set of universal focal lengths of 24-70 mm, and a powerful BIONZ X processor that provides a rate of fire of up to an impressive 16 fps, and a built-in high-resolution viewfinder (1024x768 pixels), and many something else no less interesting.

Ergonomics

The controls on the body of the camera bear a visual resemblance to Sony's 6,000th series of mirrorless cameras. Particularly convenient is the multi selector combined with the second control ring. Not delivered only the possibility of touch input, as the model's 3-inch screen does not support tap control. But the branded “chip” of the RX line is located in its usual place — it is a customizable ring around the base of the lens(responsible for changing the aperture or zooming to choose from).

Motion Freeze

The progressive hardware does everything so that the owner of the camera gets an excellent result. And this applies not only to photography, but also to video recording. The compact can write stabilized videos at a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels (4K format), however, with a limited duration of up to 5 minutes. duration. But in FullHD, the video sequence can be recorded at a record speed of up to 960 fps — when it is reduced to cinematic 24 fps, it is possible to achieve a 40-fold slowdown in the frame.

Pro manners

Many rightly consider the Sony RX100 IV a unique product. After all, a few manufacturers of photographic equipment were able to produce such a camera (the closest alternatives to the camera are Fujifilm FinePix X100T and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX15). Naturally, such a solution costs a lot of money, but when it comes to a miniature compact with the manners of a serious pro, you won’t find a better option.
