Pros: Ergonomics, possibility of customization, viewfinder

Cons: Non-lightning-fast focus, high iso (of course)

Opinion: Sent to me by RCe for a review in the end I decided to buy it and keep it. Really incredible how much technology is enclosed in this "bar of soap". It is really small, a concentrate of 298 grams that you can customize as you see fit. Given its size you risk pressing the wrong button but it is a machine that you buy also knowing the compromises you have to make. The images that this little girl churns out are very respectable. You have at your disposal a zeiss sonnar T equivalent to a 24/70, 1.8/2.8. You therefore have a respectable lens and above all so bright as to allow you not to climb too much with the iso that obviously, given the one-inch sensor, over 800 begin to produce noise which, however, in my opinion, up to 1600 is absolutely manageable. In my gallery you can find some shots baked with the rx100iv. The raw file is workable and allows a discreet recovery of shadows and highlights. Tilting screen, no touch, and a small retractable electronic viewfinder. Small viewfinder yes, but with great performance, very useful in many cases of hard light that does not allow you to see the screen well. I feel good, it is a machine that you always carry with you, it goes into the pocket of jeans and you have at hand a tool that most of the time is very expendable in many situations. The biggest flaw in my opinion is the speed of the MAF but I solved for the most part either by setting single point with flexible spot or, in other cases, in two dedicated and personalized menus, the hyper focal from 2 and 5 meters up to infinity. I repeat: there are compromises that you must and can make, but in the end you will have fun all the same. For those who want a full review, you can find it on my youTube channel of ale_chiolo_photography. For any info, if you need, do not hesitate to write to me in private.

Pros: Compact, quality beyond expectations. Excellent in RAW.

Cons: Battery life, "Scenes" not very useful, almost useless for videos. Fragile appearance. Exaggerated price

Opinion: Excellent alternative to the heavy and bulky REFLEX, it releases an unexpected quality from such a small thing. As long as you use RAW files, whose development gives far better results than JPEGs, however decent. The V is the best of all, including the rear ones, for brightness and AF functionality

Pros: beautiful especially to the touch - definition - practical and instantaneous

Cons: the viewfinder is defined but too small.

Opinion: sceptical always... I had tried the second series years ago and it hadn't hit me. I bought this, second-hand, here on juza, practically new and was stunned. it's great.. it touches well, hides well, churns out beautiful, crisp and crunchy instant photos... . the menu, owning sony A7R II, I like it and I'm used to it.. the only flaw is the viewfinder... which as defined is perhaps excessively small... but you still need to have it... solid and made of valuable material... I promote it with flying colours... my judgment stems from having owned lumix LX100 that disappointed me very much, Ricoh GR II fantastic but limited in optics and the whole fuji x100 series beautiful but not portable. It was a revelation for me.... I'm going to keep it.

Pros: Ultra portability, electronics, video, optical, build quality, operational completeness for the creative aspect

Cons: Lack of tropicalization, price.

Opinion: Taken second-hand almost a year ago (new unapproachable) chosen for a trip to Berlin, (I did not want to bring the sherpa with nikon kit) for sporadic outings in lightness and for the ephaly ephemianed video quality. I admit with a little doubt, I did not think it was so high-performance, a lamp of Aladdin, incredible the ability to contain so much quality and technology in a box little bigger than a pack of cigarettes. Starting from the optical aspect, first of all Zeiss, electronic lens 24-70 opening 1.8 - 2.8, stabilized there is little to say, a bijou, cool the ability to choose or zoom or open the diaphragm with the front die, as in the manual goals. A really excellent thumb sensor, creates files with a very good dynamic range, detailed raw images, I found the white balance very good, better even than my d800. The Video Department is really its strong, 4k 30fps in 25p, it creates really amazing cinema images. Spectacular superslomotion at 250/500/1000fps, gives you the chance to create incredible videos. Built-in flash, useful, but nothing exceptional, show instead the retractable electronic viewfinder, the 190-degree tipper screen for excellent histhists. In short, a wonder, certainly born for a use of vlogger, for those who demand discreet photographic quality in an action camera body this is the right machine. I don't remember who said it but it's a good maxim: the best camera is the one you always carry with you. This is undoubtedly an exceptional machine, certainly with the subsequent models will have introduced sensitive improvements but I think the M4 is still the most successful to date also by virtue of the price of the used. Highly recommended!

Pros: Compact, fast, a nice concentration of opportunities

Cons: If you know what you buy, nothing

Opinion: I arrived at this compact in my search path for a car that was in my pocket and I could always carry with me. I wanted to try the X100 series, making me (guilty) attract from the apsc, aesthetics, jpeg Fuji. Then I realized (guilty after) that it is heavy, bulky, definitely not in the pocket, except in a jacket. And I wanted to try the RX100 series, famous for being a "saponetta". Well, the machine is actually small and smooth, but does not claim to be wielded as a sLR. After a few days, it's comfortable. It's a concentration of technology and crazy mechanical solutions (it has a not bad scope and a flash!), while maintaining good easy access to the main functions. The lens is very good and bright, allowing you not to climb too easily with ISOs. In poorly lit and high iso environments the quality suffers a lot, but on the other hand we speak of 1 inch. Stabilization is effective and the machine is very responsive both as an ignition and as a focus. The battery lasts a little longer (not much less than the Fuji), but it is tiny and it is easy to bring a few more. With a mini easel and a pair of magnetic filters (ND and polarizer) I can carry in my pocket a system not bad on occasions where Mirrorless would not find space (eg: business trips, conferences). And the low iso quality is great, crazy if you think you put it in (almost) any pocket.

Pros: A beautiful compact, capable of everything, with beautiful photos and just as movies...

Cons: Little stable in hand, you have to buy an accessory to increase the grip... A soft that has incredible, almost a computer and very dispersive.. Pity that a beautiful product is "dispersed" in many meanders.....

Opinion: Very practical to put it in a pocket, to carry always following, does not lose a shot and gives many beautiful photos... Objective valid and well-congenial, with ND filters, and almost does not regret the reflex, good flash and the viewfinder another nice surprise.... Recommended for his particular "commitment" in the 4K that gives beautiful documents...

Pros: Size, image quality. You can photograph without any shooting noise.

Cons: Battery life. No flash shoe.

Opinion: In its category I think is the best. Suitable for travel, excursions, street. Less cumbersome than a mobile phone, it fits comfortably in your pocket. The Zeiss lens, 24/70 ca. equivalent, excellent at all apertures. Af Fast and accurate. Natural colors. Ease of processing JPG files (raw, I think superfluous). Useful retractable viewfinder. It accepts most of the settings of a DSLR so it allows you to adjust it to your liking. For photo/Street framing with the screen flipped and without noise you go unnoticed.

Pros: image quality, very compact, color fidelity

Cons: you need to buy extra batteries. Consumes too much, about 200/230 photo with a carica.rnCon premium Patona batteries will make about 250foto.

Opinion: Having different cameras including an ML and FF had bisongo a real compact, which could stand comodamete in a suit or in a fanny pack, to quell all occasions where even a ML with pancake lens is the equivalent 24-70mm grande.rnCon you risce to do everything, absolutely everything. I run it down, simply perfetto.rnMi surprised by the quality of images, those faithful and kept up to ISO 800.rnFile RAW lavorabilissimi but do not expect great miracles. JPG balanced. For a sensor 1 "dynamic and surprising range. RnForse slightly tentende burn highlights with large contrast in the frame, but enough to be able to exhibit and in this case, the live view is really efficace.rnFlash comfortable but not very powerful. Viewfinder that makes the his work although personally i use pochissimo.rnVale all the money it costs, although pricey than your competition or more PRO cameras. those who choose this sony knows exactly what to vuole.rnConsigliatissima ago for people like trekking, mountaineering, climbing, extreme activities , where the light gets; apprezzare.rnObbligo put the useful grip aggiuntivo.rnrn

Pros: Excellent images both photos and excellent video optical viewfinder bright recommend it to all those who have the reflex as a second camera body

Cons: Poor capacity of low-fat and high ISO. up to 800 and of good quality. very complicated menus and manual very difficult to understand instructions

Opinion: Excellent compact but very expensive but who wants to spend a little less can take the younger sister who has the same performance. Only lose something in the video that his older sister is much more defined video .the sony is moving into the world of the giant-compact and mirrorless and DSLR is the best on the world market

Pros: Excellent images both photos and videos. Built-in flash, monitor swivel, excellent ergonomics, super optical viewfinder.

Cons: Very high price.

Opinion: After 5 years of Canon G11 wanted to buy a new camera. Having excluded the possibility of returning to the "reflex" with all the trimmings I opted for a good compatta.rnAvevo two choices to the top of the range, or Panasonic or Sony RX100IV. I chose Sony because I wanted to take her with me always. I found her in all the features: compact, small built-in flash, tilting screen, optical viewfinder. ..... And that quality! Only two in .. a little pricey and paid App. I'm using it and are very contentornSaluti Paolo Galli

Pros: ALL

Cons: Not to buy

Opinion: It 'amazing how fantastic mentality Sony, which finally proved to all photographers who have the big crisis makes good pictures, and run as the sellers beach with sherpa outbuildings.

Pros: Compact, pocket-sized, bright optical, electronic viewfinder, flash, excellent image quality and video

Cons: Lacks the touchscreen, poor macro, serving a memory card for high-performance video capabilities, reduced battery capacity, lacks the external charger, instruction book paper not supplied, price

Opinion: I chose as a compact alternative to the SLR, I often find myself in situations where I can not bring SLR such as mountain hiking, walking in the city, sport, even if too little etc..rnIl sensor gave me the number of satisfactions, the image quality is comparable to the camera that allows a large recovery in highlights and shadows without compromising qualità.rnNon provides the most detailed instruction manual but can be downloaded from the internet and save on your smartphone, I wanted the printed manual from browse and study like the libro.rnE 'true that Sony RX-100 IV sucks your battery is essential to buy the external charger and an extra battery at 18 euro on Amazon. rnFate attention on the choice of an SD memory card, the recording of 4K video requires an SDXC 64GB and higher and the speed of Class 10 and Class 3 is required to speed UHS 3 to record up to 100 Mbps.
