Explora’s Best Premium Bridge Camera of the year is still the “old” Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV

Explora listed the best bridge cameras you can get and according to them the best premium camera is still the over 7 years old Sony Cyber-shot RX10 IV:

The Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV by Sony is considered by many to be the holy grail of bridge cameras due to its high-performance features, as well as its recording capabilities. With an updated 20.1MP 1″ Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor, the RX10 IV is capable of up to 24 fps shooting at ISO 12800, as well as recording UHD 4K/30p or Full HD 1080/120p video.
For users aiming to produce content that can be pushed to a professional level (for any action shot genre) we recommend considering this system. Its ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 25x Zoom Lens spans a 24-600mm equivalent focal length range and has a variable maximum aperture of f/2.4-4 for adept performance from wide-angle to super telephoto. Additionally, the lens utilizes the Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system which complements the lens’ reach and reduces camera shake, ensuring your subject remains in focus. At 2.41 lb, this system is the epitome of bridge cameras, and it’s available with an accessory kit that includes a shoulder bag and fast memory card.

Pity that according to my sources Sony did terminate the camera production and no replace is being developed.
