My wife and I recently joined a conducted tour of 4800km from Perth to Broome in Western Australia, the highlight being visits to locations in the Pilbara region. Fortunately someone else was driving. It’s a long way from everywhere to everywhere else in Western Australia.
I took my Sony RX10.4 with no backup camera. I rate the RX10.4 as the most versatile and capable all purpose model on the market today. It can handle just about any photographic challenge without the need to change lenses, ever.
Image quality is much better than some critics of the bridge camera genre might have you believe.
I used it for landscapes, close-ups, birds in flight, aerials and anything else which came along.
The camera functioned perfectly throughout with no problems.
I carried it in a LowePro Toploader Zoom 45 AW with the internal Velcro patches removed, making it easier to get the camera out of the bag with the lens hood attached.

| Sturt Desert Pea The RX10 has an unusual characteristic whne working close. You can get extremely close at the wide end of the lens but that is not often feasible. The other way is to set the lens to the longest focal length and get back a meter or so from the subject. The intermediate focal lengths don't let you get so close. |
