There is a segment of photographers who desire the performance of an interchangeable lens camera, but could do without the bulk from having to carry a body and lens. For that reason, “bridge” cameras were created. They provide DSLR-like attributes, such as different shooting modes and longer lenses than compact cameras, but in all-in-one bodies that are smaller than DSLRs. The problem with many of these bridge cameras is that they use the same technologies found in point-and-shoots, so you weren’t getting any improvements in image quality or performance.
Sony changed all that with the advanced RX10-series. Built around a 1-inch sensor and high-quality Zeiss lens, the RX10 has the look and feel of a DSLR, but in a robust all-in-one body that’s weather-sealed. While we wouldn’t compare RX10 models to enthusiast or professional-level DSLR and mirrorless cameras, they aren’t far behind. The latest and best example yet is the Sony Cyber-shot RX10 Mark IV. A follow-up to the already great RX10 Mark III, the RX10 IV has a 25x zoom and Sony’s latest 1-inch “stacked” sensor, but improves upon its predecessor with very fast performance. Admittedly, the $1,700 price tag is tough to swallow, but to get a comparable outfit from a DSLR or mirrorless, you would have to spend much more money.
