Sony a7C vs RX10IV

Here is my comparison of the Sony a7C and the RX10IV.

The RX10 M4 is probably one of the most under rated camera on the market. It can do marvels to whom know how to work with it.

Brilliant and spot-on review!!! I'm a studio and location photographer working with medium and small format digitals!... I have just shot 4 press ads for landrover using the RX10M4, shots was taken around famous Salmon Rivers with flyfishers etc!..the RX10M4 is in fact the only camera you will ever need and I strongly believe that this is the future and in a few years time the dslr's will be history! no need for them..Size of sensors is of course paramount but with todays digital technology, programs etc its overcome!...in one word this camera is: amazing!

In my country the price gap is much higher: a7c kit costs $2, 550 and as for RX10 IV I’ve bought it recently for $1, 350 (both prices for new cameras with official warranty). As for your comparison - it’s more in a podcast style. I would appreciate if you added some photo comparison in the way smartphone cameras are tested (same scenes, similar settings) and with 100% crops.

Oh and you're the first to mention the flash...my Canon m6 markii has a flash you can point at the ceiling and bounce it off. Has worked for indoor portraits for me. I know it is not pro. But it works.

Nice review good to see you have the balls to do this.
It would be nice to be able to download sample footage so we can see the difference in video quality without the compression of YouTube

Once again great review and I have just sold my RX10mk3 to get into my first full frame - A7C. My main reason for outing the Mk3 is that I'm convinced 2021 will see the launch of the mk5 RX10 and whilst I was very tempted with the mk4, it just wasn't a big enough jump up for me. Totally agree on your appraisal for the RX10 - it is an amazing camera with quality and ease of use at the top for basically a bargain price. You can bet your bottom dollar the mk5 will be a heck of a lot more cash.

I travelling with my rx10 iv and my rx1. Fit in small bag and does almost everything.

Still relevant in 2024... Impressive camera RX10IV. The mark V never came out but still there isn't any bridge camera in the market that compete with it. And still is the go-to all-in one solution for all those of us who have their full frame monster and still feel the need to have something lighter, no-fuss no-muss to travel with without compromising quality that much. Where I live is practically the same price as the a6700 with a kit lens, which make the decision even more difficult. Love the video!

We are in 2023 and there is still no replacement for the almighty rx10iv!

The Sony RX10m4 is an awesome camera. Waiting eagerly for the M5. I am sure it will be the best bridge camera of all time.

Brilliant video from over the pond merry Xmas

I have both, they are amazing cameras. Use the rx10 for wildlife close ups etc. a7 c I use for portrait etc and architectural shots. Use both for my street photography

[Lizerator]

Great review, thanks. I have thr rx10 iv and love it. I love the " no pro wants a flash" thing. Been in photography business for 39 years and occasionally use fill flash outdoors or for candids at our dance studio customers location. Also we encountered a strange situation at Ballet Arizona Nutcracker a few years back where our sync chords weren't working and we had no pocket wizards so we used the on camera flash to fire the studio light slaves. Anyway, have had the rx10 iv for a few years and eagerly look forward to the V.

Great review and comparison as always mate!.For the viewers, my recommendation is get the RX10 IV for Photography, fantastic quality and zoom range. Get the A7C for video with the 20mm 1.8 !. Cheers!

[drbenjaminliu]

I have a sony Rx10iv, love the camera. May I know which gimbal you use for your song rx10iv please?

[turickmals]

Have there been any leaks about a Mark V release?

[out-side-in]

I have an rx10 and love it - it feels in the hand like driving a jcw mini - so much fun - decent lens and range is great - loads of manual control - and capable of some corker images - an absolute 'grab and go' bargain imho - the a7c's auto-focus-tracking would be the cherry on top for the rx10 v - fingers crossed the features u request materialise soon - thank u for this comparison - good stuff

[EliteSurfCoaching]

I'm thinking to buy the RX10 IV now but you scared me with the possibility of a new RX10 V.
What you should do? Wait or buy it?
When can be that new camera out on the market?

[femiomomo]

Can you tell me if the sony would be good for real estate, basically shooting rooms? As nobody has covered this subject with a bridge camera.

[higinod]

what len for your sony a7c equivalent to 24-600mm in rx10IV?
