Pros: All-rounder and fine camera

Cons: lack of interval resumption

Opinion: I own several cameras, but I almost always use this one because with a modest size and weight it has an exceptional zoom (24-600mm) and the shots are excellent at all focal lengths. The videos are superb, even compared to those made with the Sony AX53 camcorder I own. The only negative note is that it does not allow the interval shot. This is something I regret because I can't make time-lapse videos that I really like.

Pros: build quality, top quality optics, impressive autofocus for speed and accuracy, great files up to ISO 1600

Cons: Limited battery life

Opinion: What about this sony rx10 mark 4 "the perfect bridge". A camera of absolute quality, it is immediately clear from the first moments that we are not dealing with a product designed for everyone, but only for those who are looking for practicality but without compromises and therefore willing to spend a significant amount. The camera body is that of a solid category flagship with excellent finishes and well-arranged controls "a cool aperture ring" on the optics, let's start immediately by saying that it left me speechless its macro mode capable of focusing at 600mm the subjects from a minimum distance of 70cm, this allows you to have a scary blur and very fine details, All this while being able to close the aperture down to F16 without going into diffraction. But of course it's its zoom that's its strong point, starting from a 24mm up to an incredible 600 f4, all with an excellent performance from the center to the edges, challenging for sharpness and level optical quality. But "a lot of power is nothing without control" and here Sony has outdone itself by equipping this bridge with the same autofocus module as the flagship Alpha 9 with 315 focus points and 24rrw per second, a machine gun that doesn't miss a beat. But of course everything is seasoned with a revised sensor to get the most out of it, compared to my trusty fz1000 I must say that I didn't find much difference, but already on the Panasonic the sensor is excellent up to 640 iso, beyond the Sony it begins to show its muscles and allows you to shoot well up to 1600 iso obtaining absolutely well workable files. In short, 7 years have passed since its launch, but even today it remains a concentrate of technology capable of assisting the photographer in any situation

Pros: Amazing videos, excellent photos even at high iso (you can easily use at 3200 iso), zoom extension and brightness, stabilization, ready and precise autofocus, burst speed, ease of use, weights and reduced dimensions.

Cons: Body "plastic" and light (but gains in terms of weight), zoom electrically controlled even using the ring, some components seem fragile, high price (but worth them)

Opinion: The performance is impressive, I didn't think that a 1" sensor could go that far. Surely the on-board electronics do an excellent job. I was amazed by the high ISO yield, the colors, the operating speed and the quality of the optics. I come from full frame SLR and the qualitative differences are really minimal if we calculate that we have practically an entire kit available (24-600mm F 4!). The convenience of not having to carry several kg of optics and never having to change lenses with the anxiety of dirtying the sensor are priceless. However, as great as the zoom is, I miss a wide angle pushed like a 14 or a 16 mm but at that point perhaps, if not for professional use, the SLR would no longer have reason to exist. Excellent quality of the electronic viewfinder, deep grip, ergonomic and comfortable. The battery does not last very long (however more than 400 shots), I bought a second one with a separate charger. The videos in 4k are incredibly sharp, the autofocus works very well even in low light and does not miss a shot. The stabilizer is also excellent. You can also make remarkable macros, with such a long focal length you can stay very far from the subject without disturbing it, obtaining a very pleasant blur. I have heard complaints about the organization of the menus but I do not find them so difficult; Yes, maybe too many voices but just become confident. They call it tropicalized but I wouldn't trust it too much in the rain. In fact, the light plastic body and some sticks seem a bit fragile to me, I don't think you can mistreat like my Nikon D700 and D750. I paired a cheap Meike flash with which it works perfectly in TTL and does not regret the original Sony very expensive. The cost is high but it is probably the most performing bridge on the market, at the moment it is giving me only great satisfaction.

Pros: File quality, shutter speed and autofocus

Cons: Battery life

Opinion: Having owned the mark 3 in the past, I thought a bit before buying it. At home I have everything, from bridge with 2/3 sensor, micro 4/3 kits, apsc and full frame, so I think I can give an objective opinion on this camera. I would like to advise you to sell everything and go only with her, because she will never disappoint you. He does everything, but really everything and he does it damn well, so much so that sometimes it almost makes me angry. Let's start from the optics, the yield is excellent, at all focal lengths and all apertures, use it safely at full aperture always, convenient the fact that it has apertures on the lens and also the limitation of the focus to make it faster, by button, like any good lens dedicated to photographic hunting. Excellent also the resistance to flare and the softness of the blur, which will be done by playing with the length of the focal length having a small sensor. The lens, however, is the same as the mark 3, so if you do not need the operating speed and the bomb autofocus of this mark 4 you can also buy the mark 3. Yes, let's talk about the operating speed, autofocus equaled only by the latest mirrorless (this is so since 2017!!!!), very fast, very precise, does not lose the subject even if you commit to do it, incredible, and it does it at 24 fps REAL, you got it right.... Attention this is a bridge, dear, but still a bridge, but worth every penny of each component. Let's talk about the sensor, small ok, and thank goodness, in a kilo you will have an excellent 24-600 f2.4-f4 and being layered, or stacked you will also have a good yield up to 1600-3200 which are many for a camera of this type. The construction is also excellent, with a nice sense of robustness, it is tropicalized and for those who do birdlife it is a nice plus. It is possible to completely silence the machine and work up to 32,000 seconds so as not to disturb the animals. The controls are also positioned very well, very convenient the mechanical wheel for exposure correction and the quick menu to have immediate access to the main functions of the camera. I think the step forward compared to the Mark 3 is truly remarkable. Sometimes I go away overloaded with equipment, always looking for the right optics, or very heavy to photograph animals and I always wonder why.... Yes, inside me I know, for pure passion, I like to have so much equipment, but believe me, this Mark 4 would do everything in the same way, in a single kilo, without danger of dirtying the sensor. My only fear is that the market is now taking us elsewhere and the risk is that sony does not produce more, for too long fans have been waiting for a mark 5 that may never arrive, with cameras like these you buy only once and you do not buy optics, it is not convenient to make them so good for them ....... The things I like little ..... battery life, I would like there to be an additional grip and that the manual focus had the limit switch to infinity. If you have a friend who owns it, try it, you won't regret it :)

Pros: For a Bridge stunning images-remarkable focal excursion and 600mm with its f/4 aperture offers wonderful blur-Light to take on the go

Cons: A battery grip would be great-the battery lasts a little bit

Opinion: I have to change my mind with respect to other considerations made prematurely, but in the light of the latest shots and comparing it (it seems absurd) with the 24-70 Tamron VG2 mounted on Nikon 810 looking at the images on the screen, I assure you that it is not easy to identify to whom the files belong. I repeat it might seem a heresy but I can say with extreme serenity and certainty that it is just like that, Really a little gem. I realized during the image processing phase that it offers an excellent dynamic range and that the color values can be managed with excellent results. At 24mm you do not feel the classic FF or apsc dystohesions and the only small drawback is given by the fact that at 600mm I have to recommend the tripod because you risk obtaining micromossive images.

Pros: Never used, so I don't express myself

Cons: One-inch sensor, otherwise I don't express myself

Opinion: I had RX100M3 and RX0II, which mount the same processor and didn't feel good. Surely it has the prerogative to have a good focal excursion and good lenses, therefore a valid handyman on the true meaning of the word. Around I see many photojournalists with reflex or mirrorless and targetses hanging everywhere like salami, but maybe life with a bridge like this, with an equivalent 24mm-600mm and a good burst, avoiding carrying weights and clutter, could smile at him.

Pros: Portability, extraordinary focus, good optical quality and impressive burst already at 12 FpM

Cons: Nothing special about category

Opinion: Bought just out. The use for photo hunting and travel (Pre COVID), has replaced a Sony kit (Alpha 68 + Sigma 17-70 + Sigma 105 macro + Sigma 120-400) to make up for the weight problems related to my age and health. I'm excited about the focus, I've never tried a Sony A9 but I think when they say that the RX10 uses the usual algorithms it matches the truth. I refer to a page of my site for the images I made at the "Parco della Piana", a LIPU area near Florence. The shooting point was less than four meters from the subjects. In continuous autofocus, wide area, with active animal eye detection these activated perfectly in most cases. (http://www.vitocardillo.it/slide-fauna-8) The images are not perfectly optimizing for the WEB this invalidates the dynamic and tonal range and consequently the general yield. The majority were executed at 500/600 mm with times between 1/1000 and 2/1000 F4-8. Of course my judgment refers to the category of the product that, cannot and should not be compared with larger sensors (APS-C, etc.)

Pros: For now I say everything

Cons: for now I say nothing

Opinion: I took it recently, in the photographic side it is giving me a lot of satisfaction, of course, in my opinion comparisons should never be made with upper bands, I have the canon eos r and slow L series, other music but... believe me, it goes above all expectations, at least for as a photographer I, I have to do a lot of tests and then I will add more information . What they wrote before me is all right, then as mentioned you have to know how to settle, thank you for now . I do not make videos and therefore I will not help you in this field ..... I would like to thank the RCE of La Spezia for allowing me to make and buy both new and used with great professionalism in the person of Simone, prepared and kind... it was a duty.

Pros: It is an "all in one" machine in a small bag you can take from 24mm to 600mm and the lenses are from the Zeiss family.

Cons: If you have the amount of an ultra-zoom you can not claim the quality of the fixed lenses as well, although compared to other ultra-zooms we are always one step ahead.

Opinion: You can't have quality and quantity together, so you have to compromise but if you can please this compact Sony it can give great satisfaction. It has a small sensor (about 1/9 of the surface of a FF) but if you use it with the right light it is capable of producing excellent images. In a nutshell, the iso should not be raised and the exposure should not be recovered as with aps-c or fullframe. Do not use it to photograph the moon, at least I did it with bad results, while at 600mm in full sun the quality is still more than discreet. Perfect for a safari in Africa, as for a trip to the mountains or to steal a few shots in the city at a safe distance. Not suitable for nocturnal, indoor or all those situations where light is scarce.

Pros: Everything: optical quality above all, ergonomics, Af, tiltable display, perfect images, both Raw and jpg-

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: I already have an Olympus m4/3 mirrorless kit with Pro optics, Em1, Pen F. I was looking for a good Bridge to take to the mountains to avoid the weight of the backpack, although with my kit it is not excessive, but, the age advances :-) so I saw a used by Sabatini photos in Rome, I sacrificed by give it back an old Omd Em5 plus a mzuiko 14-150 and at just under 1000 euros (new would cost 1800) I won an Rx10-4 practically as new. I purchased on Amazon an external charger plus a couple of compatible batteries also because the supplied battery was defective, perhaps for this reason they had given it back. The first thing that amazed me is the extraordinary quality of the images from 24 to 600mm equivalent, even at full aperture (from 2.8 to 4) that do not make me regret the already high quality of zuiko m4/3 optics, if not for the obviously superior bokeh. the focal, setting 4/3 ranges from about 25 to 650mm, while with the native format of 3/2 you have 24-600mm which I preferred despite being accustomed for years to the 4/3 format if only for a greater angle angle. Optical stabilization works very well at the maximum focal point, it works at the time of shooting, so you do not notice, as in Olympus OMD bodies, the effect of stabilizing in the viewfinder or display by holding the shutter button semi-pressed. The 600mm image dances a lot but stabilization intervenes at the time of shooting and is quite effective. The menu is quite extensive and includes many options, some of which are not very clear as the instruction manual, available in PDF even on the web, is quite laconic. The battery life allows about 300 shots, less than a REFLEX, but more or less the same as a mirrorless so being used to those of olympus I do not consider it a problem. Consume less using the display and more using the viewfinder. Very useful customizable buttons on the machine body on which to preset the functions that are most often used without resorting to the menu. To my surprise the raw of the Rx10-4 are read and recognized by the old Lightroom stand alone 6.14

Pros: Sony Rx10Mark III: really does everything; very fast focus; sharp lens; focal length, excellent up to 6400 Iso; filter presence

Cons: The battery is discharged quickly, but with 1-2 reserve, no problem, no external charger and cost of the same

Opinion: Exceptional in the street (use Italian), allows you to steal impossible shots, pity the motility of the reduced screen, Zeiss lens a razor, perfect optical zomm, photographing at 600mm and Croppando in PP, you have amazing results, I never leave it, Despite the generous mole, at home. It's worth the money, so many, it costs, besides how you spend eating. Proverbs don't err. Good investment. Really happy at last!

Pros: Versatility, focus on moving subjects, multiple shutter speed, electronic viewfinder, focal length, up to 3200 Iso.

Cons: Battery life

Opinion: Excellent performance machine: Focal excellence makes it perfect for every subject, the speed with which it engages moving subjects is phenomenal, Jpeg's image quality is great, the ability to customize the results is fun. it is locked and currently in service. For the price paid unacceptable.

Pros: Lens, autofocus, touchscreen

Cons: sensor, price

Opinion: Compared to the previous versions, it is certainly a plus. But there is still a bridge. And the difference is seen especially in low light conditions, where it takes a bit more patience to get a decent product. The improved autofocus comes in for sure. For the rest, the comfort of a truly exceptional lens is not discussed
