As the fourth generation of this popular yet premium-priced series of compacts, the RX100 IV has a new “stacked” one-inch-type 20-Mpix Exmor RS BSI sensor as well as some advanced video features, including UHD video and a 960 fps slow-motion recording opt...
Although the increase in sensor performance is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, it's still significant. The new stacked design (and accompanying processor) has allowed some remarkable increases in frame rates both with 4K capture and Full HD, notab...

After the cheap end of the compact camera market was gobbled up by smartphones, camera makers had to upgrade their fancier compacts to keep ahead of the curve. This typically means 1-inch or larger sensors, fast lenses, and better low-light performance. W...

It’s hard to find a great reason to drop $1000 on the RX100 Mark IV. The biggest reason lies in the Panasonic LX100. That camera is cheaper, has better controls, and does 4K video just as good, if not better. Sony’s only technological advantage is the sup...

Sony ignited the premium compact market in 2012 when it introduced the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 . The RX100 took a 1"-type sensor and relatively fast zoom lens and put it into a body that can slip into your pocket. Every year since has seen the arrival of a n...

The RX100 IV gains some headline-grabbing features such as high frame rate and 4K video but it's the smaller features that most impressed us. Continuous eye tracking, fast Raw burst modes with AF, and small user-interface changes have made the Mark IV the...

OK, you've watched that video directly above? Notice that the 960 fps video is low quality, in fact it's around 360p resolution. Sony up-samples HFR video to 1920 x 1080, but it's actually recorded at lower resolutions. 480 fps is approximately HD (508p)...
