It is bright, f2.4-f4, and at its sharpest wide open at any zoom length. The lens alone is worth the price of the camera.

Razor sharp.įirst, the body on the iv is identical to the iii, with all the same customizable buttons and the same amazingly sharp 24-600mm equivalent ZEISS Vario Sonnor zoom lens. I thought the RX10iii had been designed specifically for me…and I never complained about any shortcomings, but it is really like the engineers at Sony read my mind, and offered a solution for almost all my niggling doubts about the iii. It is nothing short of brilliant in any situation you might find yourself in. I can not imagine a better camera for travel, wildlife, general nature photography, and day to day family photography. The engineers at Sony listened to the feedback over the 18 months of the iii’s run, and attacked every possible weakness, to produce what may well be the greatest compact fixed-zoom camera ever made. So when I say that the Sony RX10iv is everything that the iii was, and considerably more, you will get the idea. Even around home, its Anti-motion Blur mode made photographing family gatherings a joy. It has been a joy to use…a camera I am always happy to pick up…and one that I could be supremely confident of in the field in any situation. It has been my constant photographic companion and more than gotten the job done wherever I have traveled. I have carried it so far and so much that the LCD is beginning to show signs of wear and the markings on a few buttons is beginning to wear off. Since that review the RX10iii as been to Panama, Honduras twice, South Africa, Cuba, Peru (the Amazon River), Ecuador (the Galapagos), England, and Costa Rica…as well as Florida, New Mexico, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Maine. If you read my review of the Sony RX10iii, published about 20 months ago, you know that I really liked the camera, despite its hefty price and relatively short zoom.
