- We took the Sony RX10 Mark IV bridge camera out to the Boise airport recently to get limbered up for the upcoming Oshkosh air show trip.
This remarkable all-in-one camera has a zoom lens with the 35 millimeter equivalent of 24-to-600 millimeters range. It has a 20 megapixel one-inch sensor that sets it above some point-and-shoot pocket cameras, to be sure. But the sensor is smaller than APS-C or full-frame, and it is desirable to fill the viewfinder with usable image to get the most out of this sensor, rather than doing a lot of cropping in post production.
We set video at 1080P and 60 frames per second. With judicious use of time-honored tools for handheld video like over-cranking, we captured some useful aircraft passes. The Sony RX10 Mark IV delivered good results in stills and video, as seen here. If we could only take one camera to an event where we wanted both video and still imagery, with long, long, telephoto capability, we'd be comfortable with the RX10 IV.
Close-up videography was tested when a grasshopper gingerly landed on the hot black windshield wiper arm in the 96-degree heat at the airport. If you choose a bridge camera like this to do all tasks, don't overlook quickly evolving opportunities like the grasshopper on the hood.

Amazing and beautiful! Thanks Mr Johnsen! As always God bless you and yours and thanks again for everything you do! God bless the USA!! 👍😊🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are very welcome
As much as I liked the aircraft in this video, I really liked the grasshopper. Thanks
Yes, the 'hopper was a fun diversion, and a good test of this camera's wide range from distant telephoto to close-up. Fun to play with. Thanks, as always!
does u use tripod for video?
If I am panning, it is handheld,. The only time i use a tripod is for a long static shot where the camera does not move.
I've got a Panasonic HC-X1000 and a T3i with 24-105 mm lens currently, and it's just too much to carry all that stuff. Considering the age of that equipment, do you think the RX10 would be a decent replacement?
I have not used a Panasonic HC-X1000, but it looks good on paper. Almost makes me want to go out and get one to use! I just looked at one of your Reno 2023 videos, and the panning was quite smooth -- made with the Panasonic? When I cover an aviation event, I am typically shooting stills for print-media publication and video for this channel. And, yes, I lug around two camera systems most of the time. I have used the RX10 for both video and stills with decent results, but when I am going for my best, most stable video, I still prefer to carry a Sony FDR-AX 53 camera for video at 1080P 120fps and a Sony a7R III with a Sony 200-600mm lens for the best stills. I use the Cotton Carrier system to take the weight of the Sony a7R III off my neck, and the only camera around my neck is the lightweight FDR-AX53. But -- if space and weight were considerations, I would not hesitate to use the Sony RX10 IV as my sole camera. So that's not a very scientific answer, since I go between several cameras and lenses for shooting different air shows.
