Sony Unveils the Insanely Fast RX10 IV

September 13, 2017 By Eric Reagan

The Sony RX10 IV is the latest in its line of superzoom cameras featuring the popular 20MP 1″ class sensor. This newest addition uses the familiar 24-600mm equivalent zoom lens and adds an incredible 24fps still image capture rate thanks to the BIONZ X processor.

The RX10 IV’s AF system features 315 AF points with on-sensor phase-detection. Impressively, the AF and AE continues to track during the 24fps still image bursts.

    Hello :

    Is the lens on the Sony RX10 IV , at 600mm as sharp as a tack, or is it still

    soft as other super zoom cameras .
