Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 IVby Sony
PROS
- The RX100 IV displays some of the best image quality found in any compact camera.
- The pop-up electronic viewfinder is a smart design touch and has excellent resolution.
- The advanced slow-motion recording capability is impressive.
CONS
- Battery life is worse than previous versions of the camera, and no external charger is included to keep a spare battery charged.
- The user interface is overwhelmed with feature choices making it difficult to use.
- At close to $1000, the price of the compact camera rivals that of an entry-level DSLR, which makes this model pricey for its class.

The Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV ($900) produces great images, but its zoom is less powerful; instead, the things makes this camera so outstanding are its 16.1 frames per second burst speed and its slo-mo video capture.
