Reviewer score 94% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The Sony RX10 Mark IV is a high-end bridge super-zoom camera. It has a 24-600mm / 25x zoom, weather-proof body and OLED EVF. It also has the latest RX100 sensor and imaging pipeline. But it's no surprise having phase-detect AF with the longer range is so much more.
Pros
  • Super-zoom autofocus
  • Wide Area AF
  • 24fps burst shooting
Cons
  • No wireless charging

Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Sony RX10 IV is very good for sport and wildlife photography. The camera feels incredibly comfortable to use, although it's bulky. Its continuous shooting speed is very fast, as it can shoot at an outstanding 21 fps when using its electronic shutter. It does a fantastic job tracking moving faces in 4k and FHD video. However, its video quality is disappointing in FHD.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality overall
  • Feels well-built and incredibly comfortable to use
  • Incredibly long focal length range
  • Superb continuous shooting speed
  • Very good battery performance
  • Impressive image quality in 4k and FHD video
  • Fantastic low-light video ...
Cons
  • Bulky and heavy
  • Not waterproof
  • Unable to flip its screen around to face you
