how good is the rx10iv
is the rx10iv worth £1800
Excellent review and outstanding photos. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much for the review.
Great informative video, thanks for sharing. Looks like a beast of an all in one.
thanks and yes it is a beast. which allows us to capture images where most cameras cant due to time of lens change or not enough zoom or frame rate to slow etc etc ,
Great shots and thank you so much for actually showing us what this camera can do.
Pleasure Teresa .
Santa said he is bringing one of these for Christmas! Ever since seeing your great video, can hardly stand it and am as excited as a little kid (just turned 60)! Know my Ragdoll kitties will be worn out by the time they finish modelling for me! ♥
You will love it once you get the hang of it , custom buttons make it brilliant to use. come join my community on facebook my group where we talk cameras and share photos and help each other with advice etc facebook.com/groups/150501255711682/
Thank you so much! Would love to do this
Thanks so very much for the invitation! Just filled out the questionnaire and am really looking forward to being part of your community and getting this camera to see what it can do. If I can get anything near what you have done here, will be thrilled!
Thank you for the through account of your experience with this camera. Ity helps greatly in the decision-making process.
thanks for the nice comment that video is really old now though check out my newer ones. but glad it helped.
2 years down the line and im amazed people are still watching this video :)
It's a wonderful review, that's why! 😁😁
Lots of reviews don't show actual photos from the camera. They just talk. Yours does. Thanks so much!
Can't wait to get my RX10...
I just watched it - more than 3 years later! Your gorgeous photos, more than any other review site, are what's convincing me to get this camera. It's still the best - and most expensive - bridge camera out there, but the results, in the right hands, speak for themselves. You really showcase the Sony RX10iv's amazing capabilities. Much appreciated.
@@francesmcmahon sorry for slow reply this was hidden away. thankyou for the kind words
@@catbirdler thankyou so much for the kind words. its one hell of a camera and mine over 3 years old now bashed about . soaked and more still works well no issues.
@@catbirdler did you get the camera? I am still interested in buying that. It is very expensive though. You think it really worth if it?
This was probably the closest I’ll ever get to driving one myself. If it is, this was the best way. Thanks Thomas and James.
Thanks for a great review its just what I needed to make a purchase. I own a Canon Eos R but its carrying around all the separate lenses that's the problem.
one reason i bought the rx10iv so i didnt have to carry lots of kit. its a brilliant camera almost 2 years down the line.
Thanks for the video. Some fine photos/videos you've taken. Were the photos jpeg extra fine quality? I've currently got the mark iii version, which is great, and I'm wondering if the faster focusing, and frame rate, is worth the upgrade? Would appreciate your comments.
thankyou Paul i always shoot raw these were just converted to jpeg with minor adjustments levels etc. i have never used the rx10iii before so i cant comment but it is rediculously fast at focusing quicker than anything else i believe. well worth trying one if you can
Hi, Great channel! Your experience is really helping me with this camera :)
Have you at all used ND filters or polarising filters on this camera?
hi Neil yes here is 2 videos i have used Nd filters in , i dont have a polariser filter for it but will work fine aswell czcams.com/video/-LDaXKnP9iE/video.html , and this video aswell czcams.com/video/lpdiC8lYV_0/video.html
I think personally that you are completely right at 15:10 :-) I love your approach to photography and cameras. In the slow-motion section at 15:33, I think, the exposure wasn't protective to the highlight to my taste, I would have turned down EC a stop.
Thanks Miklos , the slow motion video of the horse jumping was shot just after dusk and under ok ish tungston lighting. you are probably right though but was more of a casual test just to see what the camera can do.
I have owned the Mark 3 for a couple of years now and I agree with the assesment. It's the best camera, digital or analog, that I've ever owned ( over a 50 year period of owning professional cameras). In fact, I traded in a full frame A7 for the Mk3 and haven't regretted it. The lens is fantastic. Yes there are some focus issues but they're not hard to work around and I dont notice them any more. That said, I would like to give the MKIV a try because I've heard they fixed the minor focus issues.Plus there are some other features that sound interesting. But at $1700? It's going to be hard for me to afford that so I guess I'll just plug along with the MK3 until the V comes out. Of course that means the camera will be even farther out of reach. Then that's the time probably to buy the IV!
the rx10iv is just a beast for every day use the focusing is rediculously fast it can go from completely out of focus at 600mm to focusing on to something even if moving in less than a second its incredible. but as we know we make do with what we have and adjust our styles to suit
Having been a Nikon user, I am completely new to Sony. Planning a trip to Costa Rica and hoping to get good bird photos. There will be low light conditions in the forest. What would you recommend for custom settings that can be quickly accessed? Really enjoyed your photos!
Hi . its diffucult really as the rx10iv as amazing as it is in normal every day use it will struggle to a degree. i have used it upto iso 1000 in dull light and with a little tweak in photoshop if needed with the noise control. just keep its iso between iso 64-400 generally i shoot 95% of the time at iso 100 defo its sweet spot. its a tiny sensor so just bare that in mind it isnt designed to replace a dslr or larger mirrorless its to work next to it. i have the a7r2 and today the a7r3 aswell as the rx10iv . my rx10iv is for wildlife and action and every day snapping where the other 2 are for super high quality no compromise work. hope that helped a little. you might find though that the forest during the day might not be as dull as you think.
I am buying this camera soon. I’m so excited. What should I be checking for when testing? I love your videos dealing with this camera.
are you buying new ? or used ? if used just make sure its working smooth the zoom etc
Used. From a private seller at a decent price. I’m so excited.
awesome good luck and enjoy
Hi Stuart, when you say these pictures came straight out of the camera with no editing, or very minimal, were they shot in RAW? I believe I heard you say in another video that you only shoot in RAW. The pictures look really good! I’m getting a used RX10 IV this week and I’m pretty excited about it after watching this video. Cheers!
Hi Justin yes i rarely touch the photos now other than a couple of level tweaks sometimes in raw i always shoot. and anywhere between 5 seconds and 30 max per photo process. generally obviously sometimes i do but most of the time i like to keep things as realistic as possible
It's certainly one of the best cameras in the world for the money I would say ;) Great review!
lol ive heard it described as the mini van of cameras ,there is not many mini vans out there with 500 hp and seating for 7 ,and that is what this camera would represent in bang for the buck , great review Stuart ,an yours to Jay , and yes really nice shots too
@@davem3249 2 years down the line and mine is still going strong ive used it in heavy rain many times and dropped it when i fell over some barbed wire and its still working. its been covered in sand , mud , its the best camera out there for every day use and as a back up in the bag :)
How is the EVF like on this camera? I don't hear alot about it. I have an RX100 V which apparently the video quality looks identical to this RX10 IV but the viewfinder is quite small even though its a good quality one, but it makes sense cause the RX100 V is small. But the RX10 IV looks so amazing, and it can do like everything and I want to use it for general photography especially macro. I know it's not true 1:1 but it's really compelling
video quality is very similar on the rx100 but minus the huge wide to zoom lens which aids massive difference in image quality and bokeh etc. the evf is pretty good not quite big enough really but very useable still. with macro is great at 600mm and it has a 72cm minimum so really good for insects etc. and you can focus to the sunhood at 24mm wide so also great for close up wide angles. also. i love the camera even 5 years down the line
Great work, you have a new subscriber
Thankyou George :)
The Ken Burns effect adds motion to still photo slideshows by zooming and panning each photo as it is shown
Ah right its done in Sony Vegas when i put the videos together you just set a time limit and set the zoom or pan and it will do it.
Hi,thanks for your review. The photos are superb.It's late in Spain and I didn't understand you well in the beginning (yes from the middle of the video tiill the end ) and in spite of this,I've seen the whole video.
I'd buy the camera right now if there was an open store.Bye!
hope you have now bought one sorry i didnt reply it has litterally shown up now 2 years later
@@sjm.photos Hi,very happy to hear from you.I bought the Sony rx100 VI in the end,a camera I really love.Bye!
@@samsargdong1135 another amazing camera awesome to hear you love it
Great reviews! I am very impressed. I am deliberating between one of these and a fuji x 100-400 OIS f/4.5~5.6 for my xt2. any thoughts on how the image quality would compare ?
slightly less depth of field due to sensor not being quite as big as an apsc sensor. also there is evidence of noise above iso 400-1000+ but once you get to know the camera and expose well for each situation its fine. the 600mm is awesome to have and the camera is sooooooo useable as an everyday camera. all depends if you want something you can pick up and go or you are happy changing lenses. i have the a7r3 also and the rx10iv i have captured more chance photos than ever because there is no lens swapping i keep it at iso 100 as much as possible and its brilliant in good light. go play with one if you can before you buy.
also new videos up the hastings aquarium video and the cambersands video . check them out
Thanks for taking the time to reply ! I am guessing it's maybe a low light trade off, although I bought a used Sony RX1 as a carry around for low light and street, and I do like 35mm. Maybe for me, as only a moderately capable snapper the Fuji lens could get me the better 600mm results on a limited basis. Will continue to follow your no BS vids, refreshingly clear and competent.
thanks Michael i hope you make the decision that gets you the results you want. thankyou also for the complement . i dont see the point of making crap up just because they dont like the brand. also i only review stuff i own , i dont use canon or nikon anymore, maybe some lenses but i do not know much at all about the camera bodies so i would never review them
I am definitely saving for this camera. Pro event shooter here, I shoot street, nature etc as well. You can't beat this.
i shoot it along side the a7r2 and a7r3 . it has a huge benefit over the big boy full frames, yes its has limitations but i have captured more photos than ever now having the rx10iv in the bag. its video is great. i mean who has a 600mm 4k video camera? lol so handy for getting shots stills of video . just limited by low light thats all. i shoot at iso 64-200 as much as possible but if shooting higher a little noise reduction sometimes.
You even have 4K with 720mm with an even smaller sensor for about 400$ in Panasonic compact cameras! That's probably not the point why to buy a bridge camera that is almost 4 times the prize of its class! :D
And you have to keep in mind this small 1" sensor. Depending what you like to take pictures of you might be better off with an APS-C camera or a MFT (or FF if you prefer this)! :P
the rx10iv walks all over a £450 panasonic compact i know my sister has a tx90 which is a great camera but extremely limited . the huge difference between the rx10iv and that is it has f2.4-f4 where the panasonic has f3.5 -f8 so very difficult shooting in anything but good light. the rx10iv just works. and its convenient compared to swapping lenses over all the time when by then you have missed the photo. nothing is perfect but the rx10iv is a 8-9 out of 10. the features it has inside and how fast it focuses and tracks stuff and the 24fps bursts mean you miss only one or 2 images every now and then but because its shooting so fast you didnt miss it at all. well worth every penny it costs.
Why should I use the RX10iv? The limited 1" sensor doesn't allow me to shoot in low light (there I'd probably take a FF camera). For Wildlife an APS-C and so on. To spend that much money for a Bridge Camera seems crazy to me.
On travels I might be better off with a much smaller camera! So at least for me I see no use for the RX10iv! :P
check out my latest photos the zoo one in particular all taken with the rx10iv. your choice like everyone elses. but until you actually try one out and realise its an insane piece of equipment that gets some amazing shots. this 1 inch sensor over the full frame thing yes is different as is a compact vs the rx10iv. huge difference in quality prints A1 no problem and mega sharp images . it is worth the money trust me.
I agree. I’m sick of the huge expense of lenses I’m buying for my A7iii. One lens I bought last week cost the same as a RX10 mark4! I was thinking... I should have bought the Rx..
I have quite a few cameras, but this one is on my list!
i own both the a7riv and rx10iv and honestly both have their place but for sheer useability the rx10iv is a beast machine . yes it needs updating which we should see this year now the A1 is out on sale.
the a9 came just before the rx10iv did so im guessing the same will also happen so if you can wait i would and see what they release. i miss hardly anything with the rx10iv its range 24-600 f2.4 to f4 allows so much and imagine the time wasted swapping lenses over from a wide angle to large zoom lens you miss the shot. also 1kg so can take it everywhere :) anyway i cant believe this video is still being watched. thankyou
Thank you for the fabulous photos and detailed review. What settings would you suggest for shooting a triathlon race with this camera?
thanks for the complement check out my other videos and dont forget to subscribe. settings wise id keep it one continuous autofocus and wide so you have all of the focus points available and face detection on. and burst. i shoot iso 100 when possible to keep image quality as high as possible and raw. short bursts to get a few shots of each person i would suggest. also stops the buffer filling up even though you can do 250 shots but thats only 10-11 seconds . hope that helps.
How do you compare this model with the previous RX10ii in terms of image quality (both, photo and video)? I really prefeer a 2.8 f camera with ND filters that 600 mm zoom (I reality Sony need many zoo) but only if the quality of sensor, lens and processing is on the same league. My priorities are in orden: photo and 4k (and slow motion /time lapse quality) for potrait and landscape 2.- Autofocus (obviosuly M104 win here) and only later 3. Zoom... If the video 4k/slow motion /timelapse quality its equal, And both cameras are equally capable for landscspe, potrait and some of street photography, by the price Rx10ii is enough to me... Have you try both cameras?
i have only ever played with a mkiii for a few minutes in the real world it was enough to realise the mk4 is on a different level above. the nd filter thing doesnt worry me as its easy to screw one on. but actually having the 1/32000s shutter comes in handy more often than you think. the mk4 can do double the slowmotion time 3.5 now 7 seconds and the quality is defo better, hope that helps.
Hi I would like to asking you..
Why your pictures look so clear and sharp.
But I sow the anther person.
Pictures so bad.
What your settings.?
a different user who obviously doesnt know how to take photos. most reviewers who review cameras dont buy the gear they use it for a day or 2 and then give it back. i only review stuff and give opinions on things i actually own.
I have a question for you. Do you think that this camera is good enough to do martial arts competitions? usually you will work on low light conditions because is indoor competitions
hi there, if you are videoing and in 4k yes because you can video at 1/30s , in lowish light depending literally on the place you are . it could work ok but i dont know if you are miles away and have to be at say 300-600mm forexample it will be at f4 . but if you are close enough to keep it wide angle from 24-70mm its still f2.4-f3.5 ish so it could work well just depends on the available light.
Can you tell me the best way to achieve the Ken Burns effort that you used in the video? Thanks
ken burns?
great video. Bravo
The photos are really amazing!
thankyou
Thanks for the review. After 3 years of introduction, do you still think it is the best in the category of compact cameras? Is any competitor for this in 2021?
there is nothing else worthwhile we just need the rx10v now
@@sjm.photos What do you think of the release date and the price for the rx 10 v?
Looking at the last 2 gens 1500-1800 id say £2000
At the full 600mm what is the minimum focus distance ? I use for butterflies and small insects generally 2 meters may be as close as you can get before the insect is spooked.
Hi Joe , 920mm or 92cm is the closest focus distance and works amazing and that is at 600mm.
thank you!
Should I get the upcoming Panasonic GX8 successor with Leica lens or RX10 IV as first camera? Fix or interchangeable for first camera and why?
It all depends on your useage what do you do and what do you need. do you need a camera that allows changeable lenses with more options i bought the rx10iv as a 2nd/ 3rd camera that i can pick up and use any time instead of carrying a bigger bag with lots of lenses etc. i have the a7r2 and a6300 for work the rx10iv even though its a back up for me its also a camera i pick up and take with me everywhere just incase i see something worth photographing or videoing . i hope that helped. the rx10iv is awesome but it is limited by its sensor size for lowlight (video uploading now about its lowlight performance) also limited by its sensor size for noise levels and depth of field isnt anywhere as near as a full frame sensor for example. still it does so much and works so well. it is defo worth trying out to see if you like it. it has 2 bits i dont like 1 the touch screen i dont get on with. and it cant zoom back out forward whilst you are focus locked so you have to let off to zoom out or in which ive now got used to so not a biggy hopefully they will do a firmware update.
the problem of this camera is the sensor. if you work on sports ... is more than enough you can get similar results with that sony against canon 1dx ... lol. But in low light... bye bye 1 inch sensor can not help you. I wanna buy it also is a great camera and you forget lens but is not for everything and noy super professional. could be usefull for sports, wild, some macro and more. but you can't do high resolution pictures or things like that. They must do same product but on aps-c sensor ... then yes soo clear best camera ever
you have a good point but when the sensor gets bigger so will the lens and the camera will have to become bigger. the rx10iv is designed to do well in most conditions and it does at iso 64-1000 with zero issues. it cant keep up with a 1dx but it did do rather well and for what it is and how big it is and as we know its not always about the kit its about being in the right place at the right time and getting the shot and the rx10iv allows that . ive taken more shots recently that i just wouldnt of captured using a dslr or mirrorless because by the time you have changed lenses etc the moment has gone. and thats what it is about.
NETVO TV RX 10 4
Great review. I film and photograph aircraft in flight and have so much trouble getting crisp shots, especially in cloudy weather with my current camera. I am looking at this one and wondered if you think it would be good for my needs. Many thanks.
i dont know what camera you use now but the sony rx10iv once you have learned to way it works and the correct Af setting needed for different jobs it never really misses it will lock on to moving targets like a missile targeting system. if you can go try one out please do its amazing to use.
I hear this does not have 5axis stabilization, does not having that hurt the quality of the picture at all when free hand shooting? Are most of these pictures you show shot free hand like the wild life?
ive only really shot free hand with it and its a stabilised lens not sensor i beleive so it is very steady at all ranges 24-600mm. and a breeze to use :)
Hi Stuart. Great video, thank you. Just two things. 1. The image used at the start and finish state it has a 28-600mm lens not a 24-600mm. 2. You state that you can use it in the rain. Is this really true? Thank you again for such a brilliant video. I'm subscribed!
yep sorry about that complete typo it is 24-600mm. yes i have used it in quite steady rain like i do with my sony a7r2 no problem at all just keep the hotshoe cover on so the multi hotshoe contacts dont get wet and confuse the camera with signal arking
Thank you Stuart.
Thanks to Stuart for a great review, accompanied by some great photos. I just received an RX10iv, upgrading from the RX10iii, and am still learning the new camera's tricks.
Regarding the second question here, about using the camera in the rain: I recently used the RX10iii on a trip in which I ended up carrying it around for several hours, mostly uncovered, in unanticipated bucketing-down rain. I was trying to shelter the camera a bit, but that was kind of impossible, so I decided to put the "water resistant" claim to the test.
It worked fine for two or three hours of this treatment, still taking good pictures when I could get under some cover, while I and my companions were getting absolutely soaked. (The hot-shoe cover was in place.) Finally, the camera started to misbehave: it was telling me that an unrecognized accessory was attached (water got into the hot-shoe area, presumably), and later was telling me that the camera was in all sorts of crazy modes, though I hadn't moved the mode dial (water getting into that control, I guess). At that point, I popped out the battery and gave up on any further photography that day. The next day, the camera was still going into crazy modes at times, but then suddenly it came back to normal, started taking excellent pictures again, and I have seen no problems since then.
So, water-resistant, but there is a limit. And, in my case, no long-term damage even after such abuse. Your mileage may vary. I wouldn't feel bad about using this camera in a gentle rain for a short time, if necessary.
OK, that's the model iii and not the iv, but I think in this respect the cameras will probably be identical.
hi Scott thanks for the comment :) i had a similar issue with the a7r2 and have had the hotshoe replaced due to salt water getting on the contacts which did exactly the same did crazy things and messages this accessory not supported. i have used everything ive had in heavy rain konika minolta 7d, a700, a900, a77,a99, a7r, a6300 and a7r2 and only ever had 1 issue the hot shoe getting wet. i even dropped the a99 into a rock pool completely submerged for a few seconds. and it carried on working . and with much alcohol wipes later when home never gave me an issue. :) hope you enjoy the new rx10iv :)
Your one of the better camera vlogs -- you give real info and not just hyperbole. I am about to go on a 3 month motorcycle trip to South America. I suffer from camera overload. I have a a7rii, RX100 iv and even an iphone X. So which to bring on my trip where I have very little space to carry. Biggest issue is low light shots -- which lens to carry with me because of weight and size. Bugs me :). So after your video I'm thinking of bringing a RX10IV because of the lens range for most landscape shots -- and bring a a7rii with either a 35mm 2.8 or 55mm 1.8 for night time low light, portrait and for lightweight shots -- just an iphone. I hate weight generally when walking around in adventure travel situations. Further, if you bring out a beast of a camera and lens in these small remote towns -- the subjects get upset and overwhelmed. Any thoughts?
the rx10iv for big zoom to take discreet photos of people at hip level with screen facing up is ideal. the low light performance for night time landscapes ie light trails and stars it is very good at f2.4 at 24-35mm ideal for that. and iso for milkyway etc fine for upto iso 3200 with some noise reduction later on via photoshop. turn off in body noise reduction for long exposures because it applies after each shot and takes about the same time again to do it. i am a a7r2 user aswell and for work its nuts for quality and sharpness with the great lenses available but the rx10iv for a all rounder is just amazing i pick it up daily over the a7r2 just because its so quick and easy to use captures sharp presise images once you learn which focus setting to use for each moment etc. yes it could be less noisy and the sensor is small but thats what makes the camera so good its only a 1 kg camera 24-600mm and has tonnes of features. if it was me i would take the rx10iv . yes you might find a few shots would have been better done on the a7r2 but you wont be carrying an a7r2 a 24mm, a 50mm a 70-200mm and a 150-600mm lens. its all about the way we use the cameras not actually how good they are . i have taken shots with the rx10iv that i could of never got with the a7r2. and at the end of the day its about getting the photo taken and being creative. and pixal peeping is over rated when do we really ever zoom in that close ? most of the time we may crop a bit then maybe print it and view it at the full image. so to get a crap photo looking good is difficult but if you take a good photo on any good camera it will look awesome. its all about what is available to you at that moment. and if you have 24-600mm at f2.4 to f4 and good quality at iso64- iso 3200 with a tad of noise reduction if needed. should i say more lol.
Also thankyou very much for the compliment i dont like to talk rubbish i also would only ever review sony kit as i dont use nikon or canon etc. unless i have someone here who does who can give their views. all cameras out there now are amazing just look at the photos we get nowadays its so easy . but thinking about what you take before you do is the best way to get a better image. im 40 and been snapping sinse i was 12 and i am still learning daily so thats why i love it.
What is the size of the sensor? Would have loved the nikon p1000 but it is still a small sensor and 16mp just like the p900.
Thank I might prefer this rx10 mk4 for better pictures and better focusing.
the nikons are ok p900 and p1000 but in the real world the sony rx10iv is by far the best all in one camera todate. the sensor is a 1inch sensor which works really well the images i have had from the camera have been super sharp and its a joy to use. i also own the a6300 and the image quality is as good as that generally but its the 600mm f4 lens thats the winner
@@sjm.photos yeah the only reasons I can think to get the p1000 is for things like Saturn and Jupiter with the grandbabies
Can this camera shoot farther than 600mm, like the Canon Powershot SX70 with 130x (2x digital) does?
yes 1200 in Clear image zoom mode but thats jpeg only and 2400 in digital zoom mode
great video dude but i would like to see how is working in low light conditions for sports and see the quality of the image
11:45 in the horse rider that was shot after dusk you can see the lights are on but i am relying on the light that was left and cranking the iso up
also please check out my other videos with the rx10iv i am in the process of making a video from an aquarium which i shot everything at iso 1000 upwards due to low light in there. so look out for that one soon .
Stuart James Photography thanks for your comment!
Time to upgrade from my Kodak Brownie box camera.
Took my 3 month old rx10iv to the beach. Sadly sand got in to the zooming mechanism, and it grinds when zooming. In for service at the moment. Bugger.
thats the only concern really with that camera . but then again that can happen to any lens on a dslr if it has exposed zoom part of the lens.
Good to know the limit of the sealing 😬
Hei, I’m wondering if this camera is good and sharp enough for nature/landscape shooting? I’m not a photographer so I don’t have very high demanding for the photo quality, but the quality should be reasonable (at least better than the smartphone:-) ) Currently I have Nikon d810 with a 24-70 nikkor lens, but it always too heavy to carry it out with some quick shoots, sometimes I also feel a 24-70 lens is not enough to shoot the landscape....Sony r
X10 m4 looks like a good option for me due to the 24mm to 600mm range
if you want a 2nd camera it is brilliant i use it next to my 60mp sony a7riv. check out some of the other videos i have done days out and wildlife shots. in my books the rx10iv is the best camera out there for every day use and or if you dont want to carry a full frame camera with you. :)
Stuart James Photography thank you so much, I will check them ❤️
Thank you for this great review. I have recently bought this as a walk around camera when I want more flexibility than that offered by the A7R4. I absolutely loved it and was amazed at the quality. However, it let me down badly last night. I attempted to talk a picture of the train of lights at night. I pre focused on the spot when I knew it would emerge. I used a wider open aperture and an ISO of 3200. It was hand held. However, as iI started shooting on high burst mode, it froze and shut down. I completely missed the shot. Do you think this is a fault with the camera, SD card or user error?
Ive had 2 rx10iv and never had any issues like that. Does suck when technology desides computer says no. Possibly sdcard but could have been the camera
2021 who is watching this like the video if you are :)
Nice shots. How would you rate IQ. Va 6300
ive had the a6300 and the only real difference id say is the a6300 is better in low light . but 2 different cameras.
I have been buying many used cameras to understand what I can get, and I just bought a fujifilm x-a10 for 200 dollars and it has really beautiful pixels/noise/grains. Some cameras produce pictures that look really ugly when you zoom in . I took two pictures with the a10, one large and one small, 16mp and 4mp. and I could not tell any difference between them unless I zoomed in to see pixels. That was really eyeopening for me. A good camera has almost nothing to do with pixels. I have a Fuji HS10 that I used a lot for photographing nature in Lofoten for later doing paintings and its really sad that the quality of the image is not good enough for printing larger prints. I realized too late that on pixel level it was ugly and mushy. Even an old canon 20D that I got for 50 dollars is better. I wanted a RX10 but everyone was saying its not good enough so I kept looking, and I think the Lumix G9 might be close to a perfect camera because of its wonderful stabilization. Listening to you and looking at the fantastic pictures you take I realize I have been misled and that this camera is the best I can get for what I do in Lofoten.
you are completely correct in what you are saying and honestly the rx10iv is a bargain for the price even though its expensive what it can do and how it does it works brilliantly. im yet to be dissapointed especially when using the beast of a camera the a7riv.
Oh Lofoten, you mean the Norwegian one? Nice place. Er du Norsk?😊
I have this camera also, I used this to film my last vlog
awesome how do you like it ? have you seen my other videos of it ?
I'm voting for a Mark V by NOT buying a IV. You should do the same. As long as Sony can sell this old camera for so much money, why should it bother developing a V with a bright fully articulating screen, the latest color technology, AI assist, timelapse, and other advances it is putting in other lines?
the mk5 will already be sat there waiting either once all the old parts are sold they will release one or once they have sold more apsc and full frame bodies they might release the monster
Is the lens true f/2.4 - f/4? I've read conflicting information.
i looked at this in a logical way the lens is f2.4 at 24mm and the aperture doesnt actually move the lens gets longer the aperture becomes the equivalent of f4 due to less light coming into the lens. so its only the fact the lens gets longer it becomes an f4 . but its very useable an still get great shots from it. if it were to be an f2.4 or f2.8 through the range the camera would be massive so sony obviously looked at it and decided it was the best way forward. i love the camera it performs so well and is for me a pick up and go camera where i can get amazing shots easily without carrying 6 lenses and the a7r2 or now my new A7r3 . hope that helps
Stuart James Photography how does it compare to the lumix fz2000/2500?
the sony is better but you would expect so its more money. czcams.com/video/8PzHqrl73uM/video.html
is it still the best? 1 year on im in the market for 1 or similar?
2 years on its still the best camera out there its not perfect but its bloody amazing still.
Nice job
thanks check out the other work and new videos :)
Forgot the link to the comparison video you did with a friend.😕
which comparison video?
Stuart James Photography Go watch the video and find out.
just bought mine today
Brilliant . enjoy . if you get stuck with any features etc give me a shout
If the build quality would be like Leica this is the best indeed
but then it would have a stupid price tag of £5000. the rx10iv is the best all round all in one camera to date. by far.
Does it pixal shift?
no it doesnt
versatile for sure. don't think the best though with a 1" sensor.
if they used a bigger sensor it would get a lot bigger. its brilliant every day and in great light its awesome as for low light its pretty good.
I went form a APS-C Crop sensor Sony A6000 to this lens, and I pixel peep, and you cannot tell a difference. Small sensors are vast improvements over what they were even a few years ago. This is the best camera I have ever had.
So sorry for who ever posted a really nice comment on here i deleted by accident so sorry
24-600mm Not 28 FYI
yep complete typo there oops
Was just a bit worried that RX10iv did not have ND Filters built in like the FZ2500 and no focus while zooming either.
yep the no zooming when focusing is a little annoying but its so fast at focusing you dont miss anything. and the nd filter not a huge issue just put on on if need be. but having the 1/32000s shutter is handy aswell.
24-600 not 28-600
yes i know it was a complete typo thats why i have let a note in the description.
no its f4 long
sorry what ?
@@sjm.photos thought you said it was 2.4 at longer focal lengths
24-600 not 28-600
yep complete typo in that oops
