  • Is the Sony RX10 IV the best all in one camera on the market? Let’s find out! I’ll start out by quickly going over the major features of the Sony RX10 IV and then I’ll go into why it’s a fantastic bridge camera for both photography and video.
    We’ll then take a more detailed look at the RX10 IV’s features like the 4k video, slow and super slow motion, autofocus, touch screen, audio options connectivity and the lens. The RX10 Mark IV is a great bridge camera from Sony and I really enjoyed shooting both video and photos with it. .

    What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sony RX10 IV is helpful. Did you like it? Was there too much detail? Not enough? What did you like, and also, what did you not like? What would you like to see more of? Would love to know what you think, good or bad. I am grateful in advance 🙏 This a crazy all-in-one camera from Sony with 4K, good image and video quality, external mic input, slow motion and even super slow motion. Let me know what you think!!

      Tech Gear Talk For someone who use the camera on my phone for everything (and it does a great job), I don't know much about actual handheld cameras. Very informative and visually pleasant review. Funny blooper at the end haha.
      I have one comment though. Regarding the screen I personally don't actually mind that it's not full touch. 3" screens are too small to press the right place for me and my big hands/fingers. I like the classic type menu control buttons.
      For what I do, I wouldn't buy this camera simply cause it'd be luxury more than actually needing it and the price is a bit steep. Granted, Sony definitely makes great cameras so if you're in the market for one it could be a good buy.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 6 lety +2

      Those are good points Marcus. I can see what you mean about the touch screen, especially if the user experience is not ideal for larger hands.

      @z352kdaf8324 Před 6 lety +4

      It is a great buy. I bought the RX100V when it came out. I loved it. The only thing I felt that was missing was a MORE ZOOM. When the RX10IV came out - I jumped on that also. RX100V goes with me every where - and RX10IV goes for more serious occasions - like getting that massive zoom on a bird 20-50 feet away, or the moon.

    Let's put it this way. When I owned a A7RII and X-T2 along with their top lenses, I compared shots taken with this camera with 22x17 prints. The differences were virtually non existent. I sold off all my other gear and now stick with the RX10MkIV. It delivers the goods for both portrait work I do along with all the landscapes which are outstandingly sharp and rich in color accuracy. If you're NOT a cropaholic and don't print beyond 22x17 this camera CAN be all you'll ever need.

      @@letran-kz7pw I own the RX10IV. The lenses are excellent, very sharp and rather fast aperture (would have loved even faster f1.8 instead of f2.4, but not that bad). To me, the only drawback is the small sensor that makes it hard to shoot in low lights, or night skies (milky way) properly. For that, you want to get an APS-C or full frame sensor (a6400, a7...) But for its price, compacity, versatility, it's a very good camera. I won't sell it before a while. Number one choice when hiking or shooting random things.

    The flexibility with interchangeable lens camera is that you can replace the lens anytime if it is damaged, although here we have a fixed lens and not sure if its repairable at all. But I totally agree that its more usable compared to a DSLR as you explained in this wonderful review👌

    I watched this video months ago and it was very easy to understand. I am a Canon person, BUT I wanted a bridge camera and looked at many and decided on this camera. Knowing SONY can be different than Canon, I really loved your video. I purchased this camera about 4-5 months ago AND I AM VERY VERY HAPPY AND IMPRESSED with this camera. I will pixel peep my photos and this camera is amazing. I will take numerous shots of the same subject and very very few of them I have to trash because they come out so wonderful. I am by no means a professional, but I really love photography (not so much with videography) and have been into it for many years. The camera is very easy to hold and operate as well. Now that I am happy with the purchase, I am getting accessories for it.

    Thanks for your review. The detail was appreciated and I concur with all you've shared. I've had my RX10 IV for a few months and I'm thrilled with it. One classic was the focus, where I began shooting an owl starting its flight about 60m away, and as it flew towards me, the eyes were in focus the entire time! That's the reality of 24fps! Absolutely love this camera. Keep your good reviews coming.

      I live in Northern Uganda. I shoot wildlife, which this 600m is fabulous for. I used to have a good Nikon kit which I loved, but I just can't afford lenses that can get the reach that I need when out on safari. I have a school for orphans so candid kid shots is one of my favourites too.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 6 lety +1

      WOW!!! That sounds absolutely fantastic!!! Yeah.... I don't know how you get 600mm without breaking the bank (and your back, when you have to carry it around). And still, you would have to change lenses all the time.

    • @FotogUganda
      @FotogUganda Před 6 lety +1

      Exactly--plus it's huge thief-bait! But the Sony RX10 IV is so up for the challenges, so adaptable and I've started putting together video clips so we can get our awesome kids documented and out there. I have to travel through dodgy places--last week Congo and Rwanda on funky buses, and back and forth to Kampala and the Sudan border and this camera can be tucked away and become almost unnoticable to thieves! Another huge plus from my perspective.

    I recently rented a Tamron 150-600mm a-mount lens for my 99Mii. It worked out fabulously but I got a hard does of reality of how tiresome and cumbersome carrying around that beast is (...including my middle-of-the-road tripod)! I had my eyes on this RX10 for a while but was not sure I wanted to have an updated aps-c sensor (my older cam is a a65). And now, I have a deeper interest in this all-inclusive bridge cam, and I appreciate the detailed review and quality images you have provided!

    • @TechGearTalk

      @danieljamieson472 Před 6 lety +1

      Tech Gear Talk I'm no expert but I think that the price is fair, for anyone wanting to step up their vlogging or CZcams videos I imagine this would be a good fit, however the fact the the lense is fixed would make it less attractive to a photographer? 4k enabled devices are getting cheaper and cheaper and I think this slots in there nicely, but as I say I don't know a heck of a lot about these things 😁

    • @TechGearTalk

      I'm not exactly sure. I don't think this was intended as a vlogging camera, so that is probably why.

    Another great review. This was a camera my work purchased as they need something which could do everything they needed but keeping within a budget. The zoom was great but the focus could be a little tough shooting action shots. Overall a good camera for entry level who just wants an all in one option that keeps things simple.

    Great review. Subscribed. I upgraded from the III to the IV this week (better late than never) and it is a BEAST. Focus is lightning fast, smartphone control has less of a lag than the III, shoots 4k and has s-log 3! I actually love the aperture ring and I generally prefer a non-touch screen for wildlife, especially in the winter when I don't want to take off my gloves. But touch focus for video is fantastic. I don't know why this wasn't in earlier RX10 versions. There was touch focus on the VG20, VG30 and VG900, so Sony already had the technology. The two things I hate: (1) removing the SD card requires skinny fingers. Much skinnier than mine. (2) Focus modes knob is tiny. Again, too small for my fingers. Other than that, it's a clear winner. Best bridge camera ever and, in the right hands, is every bit professional.

    That was a really amazing review. I'm coming from a bulky Nikon DSLR with a 60 - 600 lens which I'm fortunate to be able to shoot big 5 wildlife and birds 2-3 hrs from home here in South Africa. I'm moving from DSLR to Bridge due to a physical disability where camera and lens weight make a huge difference. I was stuck between a Nikon P1000 and the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV and this video made up my mind for me. I think the extra money will well be worth it.
    I enjoy both still and video photography of wildlife and I placed my order today. Thanks again. Malcolm Chesno.

      Personally, I wish they'd kept the ND filter. Also, I agree with you about the flippy screen -- it would be helpful for video work. It's so expensive, though. It has no real competitor, and is obviously a very advanced and capable camera, but $1700 is a lot of money for a small sensor camera that can't change lenses. At maybe $1200 - $1300 I'd jump, but at $1700 I would have to think about it a lot.

    • @TechGearTalk
      @TechGearTalk  Před 5 lety

      Glad you found my channel and thank you for the kind words.
      I agree with your assessment. The only thing is that to buy a different camera plus the the lenses it would take to compare with this would be more than 1700. So it's hard to compare.

    Fantastic review Mark and a definite 2 thumbs up. I presently own a Lumix FZ1000 and saw that the FZ1000 M2 just came out and after viewing your review I'm thinking of getting the RX10 MIV instead because Panasonic just did a small incremental upgrade to the FZ1000 with the M2 version. I really do believe that the future of cameras will be the bridge camera's because everyone is getting tired of hauling around so much Glass (It reminds me of my old Nikon DSLR days with the 8 lenses that I would bring). Having 1 amazing bridge camera and shooting in Raw it the best of all worlds. Everyone one eventually ends up using lightroom in Post anyways and that contributes to around 50% of the image quality. The composition on the other hand is within the Camera Man :) I would just like to say, many thanks on your very constructive analysis of the RX10 M4. Very much appreciated and I am Subscribing your channel right now.

    MacroDSLR
    MacroDSLR is a digital camera tethering and remote capture application specialised for a macro or time-lapse photography. MacroDSLR controls ISO, aperture (if lens mounted), shutter speed, exposure compensation, metering and focusing modes, white balance, image quality and format and BULB exposure length. It can preview (with LiveView for some cameras) or capture and save images to selected folder with any file name prefix, count and time lapse, browse captured images and show them in Finder, zoom and stretch them automatically or manually. It can also drive camera lens or external focuser controller for defined number of steps or milliseconds for each frame or rewind to the initial position. The built-in INDIGO driver is based on ImageCapture API and, in theory, it can work with almost any Nikon DSLR, Canon EOS DSLR, Sony Alpha DSLR-like or mirrorless camera. Not every feature is supported for every camera (e.g. no LiveView or manual lens drive with older Nikon and all Sony cameras), but it doesn't mean, that such camera can't be used. As far as this application is based on INDIGO framework, it can use many INDIGO or INDI drivers for focusers for astronomical telescopes which can be easily adapted to control manual focus lenses or macro rails. The drivers for Shoestring Astronomy FCUSB and USB_Focus V3 controllers are bundled with the application.

    I shoot predominantly Canon, but also use Fuji, Nikon, and Olympus, however I have been shooting with the RX-10MkIV on and off for a couple of years, because it offers me a brilliant all-in-one solution. I consider it to be the finest bridge camera in the world, even though it has been around since 2017, it is still unsurpassed for its combination of features. The native focus range of 24-600 is brilliant, but it has a feature called IMAGE FOCUS BOOST that expands that to 1200mm without noticeable loss of quality. That puts in it the range of the Canon PowerShot SX70HS range, but with the much better processor and many other features that are ahead of its time.
