'The Sony RX10iv rocks'
I
never thought the day would come when I would say that it was a real
joy and a privilege to own a specific camera; for although I feel
sure there is better to come, for a fixed lens alternative to a DSLR
the Sony RX10iv Bridge camera ticks virtually
all the right boxes.
Its
ergonomic design, intuitive
layout, ease in use of the controls, and more importantly, the high
end quality of the images it produces, are an inviting inspirational
driving force, urging the need to get out and shoot; Without the need
to carry a multiple of heavier optical lenses necessary to cover the
equivalent range from
24 mm to 600 mm
and beyond, as associated with using regular DSLR equipment.
Wisp of Down (rising vertically off the shoulders) Equivalent 1200 mm at 7 metres
I
mention 600 mm and
beyond, in the reality of advances made in a technological increased
zoom capacity enabled by the Vario-Sonnar
T* lens, the I” type sensor and the BIONZ
X image processor’s advanced algorithm (shown by the image above). Where
in, combining the use of the Clear Image Zoom option with the Extra
Fine .jpeg file format,
the Sony RX10iv effectively provides an equivalent
reach of 1200 mm with
excellent results.
And last but not least,
the 0.03 second Auto Focus is truly a joy.
