Description

Sony claims the RX10 IV has the "World’s Fastest AF acquisition speed of 0.03 sec." It's a "bridge" camera with a DSLR form factor body without interchangeable lenses but allows for more manual control than a point and shoot.

Pros:

  • USB charging
  • High continuous shooting burst speed
  • Rolling shutter is minimal

Cons:

  • Small buttons may be hard to push
  • Does not include standalone charger
  • No in-camera RAW conversion
  • The tilting monitor may get in the way if a tripod is mounted to the camera.
