I used the RX10 IV for a while. It's a superb piece of kit and by far the best general bridge superzoom. The Mark V has the same lens and sensor and should give the same IQ. I have many images in the field and chart analysis to be able to compare it with the R7 with, for example, the RF 100-400mm. The Sony weighs 1026g, the R7 620g and the the RF 100-400mm 690g, so the Canon is heavier and a little larger. The Sony at the 600mm equivalent setting of the 210mm lens (crop factor 2.7) and its 20 Mpx sensor is outresolved by the 400mm on the 32 Mpx R7 by 43%. The Canon combination has better noise control and DR with its much larger sensor, and is cheaper than the Sony. If you want a relatively light set up for birding, the Canon combination is a much better bet, and you can throw in another shorter zoom for less money. If you want a single camera that does the whole range from 24-600mm equivalent (and remember its f/4 lens is equivalent to f/11 for depth of field and noise), and is easy to use, then the Sony is great. If the R7 hadn't come along, I would be tempted by the Sony. Here are some images I took with the Mk IV.

Craig - I think the article is currently down and out ... The title is still 'ungrammatical' BTW :)
