I went on a tour in Morocco last year. I used the new Sony RX10. Another member of the tour used a DSLR (don’t know which one). I take a lot of pictures and never had to change a lens. I was often last in line because I took pictures (my wife is often my connection line to the tour). Tour groups are not very accommodating for people taking time to take photographs (unless it is specifically a photographer tour). Pictures in the Sahara, camel ride and sand are not suitable for a tripod or a big camera bag. Also, many people in Morocco did not like their picture taken.

I have been using an iPhone and Windows (Windows 10 now) for many years. I connect my iPhone to the PC via the USB cable to the phone. Then in Windows File Explorer, I click on the iPhone and open the folder DCIM. There are all the folders and files of the pictures on the phone. Then I drag the photos to the folder in Windows and delete them from the phone. I never go through any third party app or software to move the photos. I hope this helps.

I strongly recommend the Sony RX10 mIV. I have used it exclusively on my travels and my wife loves that I don't have to stop to change lenses. Changing lenses is particularly inconvenient if you are with a group. Unless you are planning really large prints, the quality of the picture will not be significantly different than other camera. Take a few filters and enjoy the simplicity. The Sony has many options and let's one shoot in Raw and/or JPEG.

Try the Sony RX10-iii or RX100-vi. Pricey but I love them. I do not think you will be disappointed.

I access Adobe Bridge from Adobe Creative Cloud. It is a free download and access. I do not use Photoshop or other Adobe photography program. I use Adobe Acrobat from a CD. So I do not pay for any Adobe product every month. Bridge is a good photo file management tool.

I have the SOny RX10m4 and use Luminar. It recognizes the Sony RAW files. I haven’t had to convert any files. Luminar cost $99 but sometimes runs specials to be $69. It may be worth a try.

I switched from a Panasonic to the Sony RX10M4. The Sony will not disappoint but - as someone previously said - practice and get experience with the camera. I refer to manuals when I get stuck. Sony is more expensive but I it is well worth it.

I have the SOny 10mIV. In think it is perfect for the non-professional or the enthusiast that does not want to worry about different lenses.

To get to the viewfinder options, press the Menu button to the left of the eye piece. Look through the eye piece to see the menu options of the display is not functioning. Go to Camera Settings 2. Tsp then left side of the wheel to get to the 7th screen. There you will find FINDER/MONITOR for some options and also Gridlines.

Have fun with the camera.

By the way, both RX 10 4 and RX 100 4 have viewfinders.

I too just came back from Morocco (coincidence?). I have 2 Sony bridge cameras, RX10 4 and RX100 4. This was the first time I took the RX 10 4 since it is a new camera in the marketplace. The telephoto is fantastic. But is it much bigger than the RX100 4. I am very pleased with both bridge cameras. The RX 100 4 is much less obvious and almost as good as the RX 10. I chose the bridge cameras because I don’t want to carry around lenses on a tour.

I am truly an amateur photographer. I love capturing the moment for personal memories. I have a Sony Cyber-shot RX100 IV which I like a lot. I have been keeping up with this blog on the debate of DSLR versus mirrorless, and that’s not my query today. Has anyone seen, used or reviewed the new Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV? It was released earlier in November. It is on the expensive side ($1,700) for a high end fixed lense camera with 20 megapixel and a 24-600 mm zoom. My local camera shop is not carrying it so I may head to B&H or Adorama. Thank you
