i own both the Sony a7r iv and the rx10iv iv. I recently used the first for a trip to Antarctica and the second for a subsequent trip to Peru-Ecuador-Galapagos. The rx10iv is so much easier as a travel camera and at least so far (I am still post-processing) the image quality is quite comparable at all the focal lengths I've used. The only differences would be if you are interested in enlarging by large amounts.

I cared which is why I rattled the cage. Was hoping someone (anyone) might give some feedback on the P950 before I committed to keeping it. I already know the Sony is a fine camera, but still no match for the Nikon in two ways... reach and price, which are the two reasons I bought it three weeks ago when I tried to resurrect this thread. I got a Nikon USA refurb for $610 delivered. That's less than half the price of a new Sony RX10-iv and under ideal conditions it produces an acceptable image at over three times the distance covered by the Sony. I've decided to keep it because it's an unexpectedly good walk-about solution for me at about two and a half pounds. I've become a fair-weather photographer and that's where it shines. (I still think the king of the lightweights is the Nikon One v3 with the 10-100 manual zoom lens at about a pound and a half.)

I have owned a P950 for a couple of years and am very happy with it. I purchased it as a small, light camera that I can keep with me all the time for those unexpected nature photography opportunities that I encounter in my day-to-day activities. The wide angle to 2000mm equivalent lens & camera RAW features make it an ideal camera for family activities and social events. The noise performance above 800 ISO was a little disappointing but Topaz Noise AI takes care of that. For serious nature photography I have a Canon EOS R7 body several EF & RF lenses. However, the P950 certainly meets my expectations! Here are a few examples of photos taken with the P950 recently.

Thanks, Chip, I'm reaching the same conclusion. Nice shots!

I have a P950, and I like it, but it isn't my most-used camera. The size is good, it's easy to use, and the zoom is amazing. No complaints from me.
