Sony RX10 IV
The Sony RX10 IV is good for sport and wildlife photography. The camera feels incredibly comfortable to use, although it's bulky. Its built-in lens also has a remarkably long focal length range, so you can zoom in on very far-away subjects or take extreme close-ups. Its continuous shooting speed is very fast, as it can shoot at an outstanding 21 fps when using its electronic shutter and a still excellent 11 fps when using its mechanical shutter. The autofocus is also effective, though its tracking feature can sometimes struggle to keep up with faster subjects. While its buffer empty time is quite long, it has a big capacity, so it's unlikely you'll fill it in regular use.
