I've used my RX10 III & IV for moto-x. Any deficiencies are down to my lack of technique rather than the camera. I don't know why you think you'll have problems as you've got the reach and lightning-fast focussing.
Pete - I have a RX10iii which I love but I don't shoot BIF and suchlike, only static stuff. I think it would do ok at that but if it's a major part of your photography maybe try and stretch to a mark 4 ?
The lens is generally great - really surprising (to me anyway) even wide open at 600m equiv but it's not small as you have noted.
Great stuff - look forward to seeing some resultsAt this stage I'm not willing to stretch to a IV, especially as I don't know how well I'll get on with it and knowing my mixed feelings on Sony cameras from past experience. I have though just committed to a pre-owned III, so we'll see how it goes. If I get on with it and if I feel the need for faster focus tracking, then maybe an upgrade later on and not lose too much on re-sale of the III. Chances are the III will do most, if not everything, I need it to. Looking forward to finding out.
My RX10 III arrived today. Not had a chance to play properly yet, but going to sit down now and delve into the menus, try to familiarise myself with it all and set a few things up to suit my needs.
Thanks George, hope you are wellVery nice shot, well composed with some good detail.

Thanks George, hope you are well
Very glad to hear it GeorgeThank you kindly fellow snapper, I sure do appreciated your reply.
“Many thanks for the kind wishes, I can now jog a little over half a mile, not as much as I would like but I’m getting there as they say. Yesterday I had my wings (pilots licence) reinstated which surprised me but is very welcome.

From a set taken at round 6 of last year's Michelin Nationals and pretty well ignored since then. I must extract digit and sort them out...

Good work George - great to see you back in action
I bought a RX10 iii a couple of years ago , it was great at static stuff but couldn't cope with motorbike racing , I barely got a sharp shot when panning but it was better than bridge cameras I've had in the past , they're never going to make a bridge that is as good as a dslr even if they can , why kill the cash cow that is the ever changing dslr
As stickytape says, the RX10 IV has excellent AF as it has technology from the Sony A9. Mirrorless cameras are now as good as DSLRs for AF speed and the technology has filtered down. The moto-x shot further up this page was taken with my RX10 IV. I took high-speed bursts (20fps) of a couple of starts and nearly all frames are sharp.I bought a RX10 iii a couple of years ago , it was great at static stuff but couldn't cope with motorbike racing , I barely got a sharp shot when panning but it was better than bridge cameras I've had in the past , they're never going to make a bridge that is as good as a dslr even if they can , why kill the cash cow that is the ever changing dslr
