The Sony RX10IV-Perfect for Travel? Gone to Texas! 

Much appreciated!

I definitely will thanks for your comment !

Haha Thanks for that! Yes that squirrel was so funny to see and having a long zoom was so needed to capture that. Glad to hear I'm not the only one enjoying the RX10m4 and you are too!

I know what you mean. I still have a little hope that one day we'll see a successor model but thank you very much for your kind words. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the comment!

Haha! Well I really appreciate the kind words. And yes, you may send me the bill. Although that doesn't mean I will pay it!! Well, I hope you enjoy your new camera!!! All the best.

Hey, thanks so much! Really appreciate it

Hi there. Yes, I may have mentioned in another video that more modern cameras had somewhat better stabilization but I think the RX10's is still more than acceptable! Thanks so much for the comment!

Typo-150-600mm😂😂

I’d love a new RX10 but if they’re going to make it bigger and heavier, there are so many other things I’d prefer (full weather sealing, fully manual zoom, larger EVF). I rarely need a larger sensor and even then, M43 is probably gaining at most a stop of light.

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. There are many choices for editing. There really are. If you have a Mac and starting out you can try Imovie or for more advanced use, Final Cut Pro. On a PC, many people use Adobe Premiere and like it although I personally prefer the Mac options!!

Wow thanks so much for your very kind words! Believe me I know what you mean about buying an older camera. One thing I can tell you is when I was away and using it, i didn't feel like I was using outdated technology. The camera is fast and snappy and for the most part I was happy with how it handled the varied shooting situations. And you mentioned comparing to a 6700 which is interesting. I don't know if you remember the scene in the video with the squirrels poking their heads out of the submarine. If I had to reach for my mirrorless camera and then attach a zoom lens I probably would have missed that moment. Having all focal lengths always on the lens is so important I realized because sometimes things happen fast and changing lenses ,you can miss that moment! you can also introduce other issues like dust on your sensor. That's an interesting idea about uploading photos I will consider that in the future. Thank you again my friend! Regards,

Will you miss more shots because the older tech of the RX10 held you back or because you had the wrong lens for the moment on the a6700? Also, once you do the firmware update, you could think of the RX10 as more like a 2019 camera.

@@leemarkowitz4709 Hi bud! I have to confess something... The close price of the 6700 against an "older" camera like RX10IV isn't the only reason that was holding me back. I think the reason that weighted more was that I currently own a Lumix Fz200, and for all the intents and purposes it's the even older equivalent to the RX10IV, so I understand when you guys talk about the versatility and the peace of mind that gives you to concentrate only in the picture you want to take and not worrying about if you have the correct lens or thinking ahead where you are going to be and what lens you are going to need, etc. So, when you combine both, the close prices of the 6700 and having the "travel camera" need covered by the fz200, I was struggling to spend 2000 usd in the RX10IV. But if you noticed, I said "was" because I received my RX10IV a few days ago!! (This is also your fault www.youtube.com/@techtoremember8096 friend! ) 🙂 I still learning the particularities of it but so far I couldn't been happier about that decision. There will be time for me to get a newer camera if I really want it or need it. Thanks for remind me about the firmware! I was thinking about that when I ordered it and then I received it and started to play with it and forgot.

Hi! Thanks so much for the comment and especially for getting the corny jokes! To answer your question, I did not do any post processing to any photos. All the photos were shot in the highest quality JPEG. I do make some minor tweaks in camera to sharpness and contrast in the menu (upping each one about l level) just for a little more punch to the picture, but no editing at all afterwards as I want everyone to see how the camera produces images straight from camera. I have heard from many people who do planespotting who use this camera as its long zoom and fast lens, makes it great for that application. Great choice for that purpose. Thanks again!

@@techtoremember8096 Thank you so much for all the details. Really appreciate it.

Yeah i did watch the +1 sharpness and contrast setting in one of your other RX10 iv videos.

Hi there! yes, I was hand holding it, more like fumbling as it was nerve wracking. I had literally everything set to auto as I recall except the focus which was manual and set to infinity naturally. The camera did a good job of exposing properly. I think shooting through a telescope definitely will be a bit more challenging! ( i hand held both eclipses by the way, not sure if you saw the second one in the video with the Panasonic GH5) Thanks for the comment!!

@@techtoremember8096 Thanks for the super fast response. With my setup, I had a laptop computer attached to the Nikon that was controlling the shutter speeds as the eclipse progressed. The program even had voice prompts to remove and reinstall the filter at the correct times. The hardest thing was the focus. But thankfully, there was a huge sunspot almost in the center of the sun that helped with this. My next purchase for this camera will be a 72mm solar filter and an old school cable release. I used to have a couple back in the 35mm film days, but that equipment is long gone.

I haven't used the Mark 3 but its very very similar to the Mark 4. Same lens but the AF is a bit slower and a few other minor issues in video I believe. I think you would be fine with the Mark 3 if you could find it at a good price

Yes I was surprised how quiet it was during the middle of the day !

He should have gone to San Jacinto monument, would have been much more interesting and better photography options than boring downtown Houston! And I'm allowed to say that since I worked in the Houston area for most of my career!

@@Corbrwl You're allowed to say regardless…Houston is simply not a city for Street Photography, neither are most cities in Texas, no shame in that. San Jacinto, eh…yeah, I guess. I would suggest Galveston, definitely much more activity than Downtown Houston.

Haha next time I’m in Texas I’ll know thanks guys !!

Hi ! Thank you I think you are referring to the 30 minute record limit ? There are supposedly ways to do it if you search on RU-vid -But there is a risk of damaging your camera so I never tried it ! And for that reason I cannot recommend it
