I'm definitely going with this cam when it comes here in November. Sending my junky TG-Tracker back.
Frame grabs:
The Sony has: higher resolution in 4K. much better low-light performance. And, of course, BOSS. You cannot shoot with any GoPro handheld in 4K and not get shaky cam.
Thank you. It's fun.
From what I see, it doesn't affect the IQ at all.Markr041 said:
Yes, the case has no impact on the picture. However, the camera will heat up much faster in the airtight case, and on a hot day one should not shoot with the case on unless water shots are needed. If the camera gets too hot it will degrade the IQ before shutting down.From what I see, it doesn't affect the IQ at all.

Unless the trip is around and underwater, the RX100 IV is preferred because it is much more versatile. It has a zoom lens and wide aperture. It will be better in low light, and you have more control over the picture (more manual controls). That is why the camera is more 2.5X the price.
Doesn't the RX have severely limited recording time? And can the RX offer stabilization nearly as well as the BOSS?
I better be mindful of that when I attach it to my car in the summer months. The desert heat is ruthless, to say the least.Yes, the case has no impact on the picture.

5 minutes for the RX in 4K, and it does overheat in high ambient temperatures so you don't even get that in those circumstances. Yes, the RX stabilization is less good, but it is ok.
Yes, certainly do not use the waterproof case! The air movement produced by the moving car helps cool too.I better be mindful of that when I attach it to my car in the summer months.

Are you traveling with your two lens Panasonic GX85 kit now? Or, do you still favor the tiny RX100 IV? I'm still liking the Panasonic LX100 I bought when you were enjoying that one!
GX85+two lenses (maybe three (add tiny 20mm f1.7 for low light)). and maybe take the X3000, in case it rains!
The X1000 is not sharper. The main, and very important gain, is that you get the best stabilization technology in all cameras. This enables you to shoot 4K handheld without shaky cam or degradation in resolution. No other action cam can or will do this. In addition, the X3000 lens produces less fisheye distortion and the low light performance is better compared with the X1000. The X3000 has a much better waterproof case - no distortion underwater.
Thanks for the reply and clarifications, this is exactly what I wanted to know
I will wait for the X3000 then.Thanks.
