I own a D600 and I just acquired a Z6, both of which I use for serious photography. Last Fall I purchased the Sony RX10 VI (not IV). The camera is incredible. I use this when I'm on vacation or attending family events to document the trip or get candids of family members. The good news is that it is a truly high quality, high precision camera that that fits in your shirt pocket. It has an incredibly useful zoom range of 24mm to 200mm and a very accurate auto focus system, along with touch screen focusing. There are many, many more features, some more useful than others. Here's the downside. It's not lack of quality or usefulness, it's the fact that you have to become fairly proficient in getting around in the camera menus to take advantage of many of the features. Unlike your D750, that has a lot of buttons on the camera to effectuate camera functions, the RX100 VI (an its predecessor models) have minimal buttons. It is, therefore, necessary to go into the menus to access many features. If you elect to get the camera, you will be wise to also purchase a third party guide to using the camera. The one I got, "The Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC-RX100 VI" by Alexander S. White is the most comprehensive camera guide I have ever purchased Unlike the very useless camera manual from Sony, this guide walks you through every feature of the camera, how to access them, to set them, to adjust and change them, as well as an explanation of the "how's", "why's" and "when's" for using the features. It's very complete and loaded with illustrations that makes sense out of such a very complex camera. Yes. There is a bit of a learning curve, but once you understand how the menus are set up and the logic behind them, it becomes quite easy to get in there and access the valuable features. On the other hand, if you don't want to mess with the menus, set the camera for "Intelligent Auto", and the camera will just take incredible images by pointing and shooting it. Good Luck

The Sony RX100vi is a excellent pocket camera. Some photographers think it is overpriced. I also own a lesser expensive 20 megapixels Sony pocket camera, with a focal range to 200mm, that takes great photos. But, the RX100vi is not a Bridge camera, and does not have a focal range of 600mm, as the RX10iv has. The Sony RX10iv is the best Bridge camera made today.
