The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV is an advanced compact point-and-shoot camera and the predecessor to the RX100 V. Key features include:
What’s New. Much like its big brother, the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II, the RX100 IV improves on its predecessor with an updated 20.2MP 1.0-inch back-side illuminated sensor, vastly increased processor and speeds, and internal 4K video capture.
20.2MP 1.0-Inch BSI Stacked Sensor. This technology improves on traditional back-side illuminated sensors by increasing pixel-level light sensitivities. Additionally, there’s a dedicated DRAM memory chip attached to the sensor that provides 5x faster data throughput than the RX100 III, enabling up to 16 fps continuous shooting and an Anti-Distortion Shutter mode that tops out a 1/32,000 sec.
Fast-Aperture Zoom Lens. The same Carl Zeiss 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 Vario-Sonnar T* (equivalent) lens finds its way into the RX100 IV, allowing image capture in low light, as well as subject/background separation at the long end of the zoom.
Integrated Pop-Up Electronic Viewfinder and Tilting LCD. One of the most notable features of the RX100 III is the built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), and this continues in the RX100 IV. However, it’s been upgraded to a 0.39-inch 2,359k-dot SVGA OLED display. The 3.0-inch 1,229k-dot Xtra Fine tilting rear LCD offers 180° up/45° down of tilt, giving tripod and arm’s length shooters plenty of options.
Internal 4K Video (Burst). The RX100 IV shoots UHD 4K video at 24/30 fps in XAVC S format for up to 5 minutes, utilizing full pixel readout with no line skipping or pixel binning. The increased data throughput from the integrated DRAM chip also enables extremely fast Full HD 1080p capture at up to 960 fps. There’s full manual exposure control, a built-in mic for stereo audio recording, and a micro HDMI connection for uncompressed capture via external recorder.
Advanced Controls. Like the other models in Sony’s RX series, the RX100 IV offers manual control options for advanced users, as well as iAUTO mode for those who just want to pick up and shoot. There’s a dedicated function button and manual control ring that can be programmed to offer quick adjustments of several different functions, allowing users to forego menu diving.
Built-In Wi-Fi. Allows wireless transmission of images as well as camera control with compatible smartphones and tablets.
User Flexibility. The RX100 IV records images/video to SDHC/XC memory cards (not included) and is powered by the same NP-BX1 rechargeable lithium battery rated for 280 shots per charge.
Please Note: The Sony RX100 IV doesn’t come with a battery charger. The battery must be charged through the camera. If you need a charger, we rent the Sony BC-TRX Charger.
