Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 IV is 1g lighter than the Sony RX100 V but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
