Sony RX0 II was released in 2019 and has been quite a purchase for me. Is it good? No. Is it bad? No. It is somewhere in-between.
Not an action cam. Not a real video camera. Great for controlled environments like studio shoots.

Do you need the MacBook Pro 13 inch (2020)? (for Video Editors)
thanks,,really helpful for me
u’re welcome!
Doing unboxing videos on a tabletop with the camera over the top. Which lens would you use?
oh. I would honestly suggest using a Sony 20mm pancake lens. Mainly due to weight. 11m would have warped edges. If you have a good over the top tripod setup then sigma 16mm at f5.6 would be good. It will be heavy but worth it.
Can you record audio directly from camera to the átomos? Or do you need to connect a separate mic?
directly via hdmi. so audio to cam, then cam to atomos via hdmi.
Fuji should have made the XQ1 with a 1" sensor instead of the 2/3" sensor. Then this camera would be amazing. It is very good but not much better than The compacts from a few years earlier. The f50fd from 2007 had 1/1.6" sensor which is almost identical to a 2/3" by less than half a millimeter in size. The price of the XQ1 is out of control and not worth buying in all honesty.
XQ1 prices sky rocketed man. I think it is due to a fad. I got mine for like $200-$250 or less 2nd hand. if they updated this with a 1" sensor then people will compare this to a rx100 which is a good camera as well. Canon GX5 might be a good pick as well if u fancy loading in your own custom profiles (luts), something NO one mentions but I feel like I'm gatekeeping cause the price is already quite high for this cam.
@@EwanLim i had the XQ1 and the XF1. I paid between 80-150 years ago. The XF1 was better but the lens issue ruined it. But the picture quality was not much better than the old f50fd
thanks man!!
Can you stream in 4k without a capture card?
nope! I would honestly suggest getting an Elgato Facecam Pro if you want 4k.
Maybe they are afraid this will cannibalise the Ninja V+ - I can't stand those units - big and clunky with a FAN! I can't see any reason why they couldn't just dispense with HDMI and just use USB-C - now that would be true innovation. Good video Ewan!
pretty sure cannibalising their other recorders is a concern. I gave it some thought and heating issues might be a possibility.
Yes I totally agree - theses days I am so used to shooting in 4K and 8K - which is why my key interest is using this as a viewer for cameras that don't have a better viewing option. On the FP L - I will recording to CinemaDNG - my gold standard now.
Wonder if this could be used just as a viewer for my Sigma FP without attaching a battery to the NP but instead USB-C power from camera or V-Power.
You can actually. There’s another app that does this as well.
@@EwanLim Thanks - which App are you referring to? for the Sigma FP?
@@JM-xl3ijoh i was thinking of filmic pro but that is as good as dead now.
I meant using an app to tether iOS with FP L. the only thing I can find is capture 1. but it does not give live view for FP L. PITY
i have to believe its a great pocket camera (2024)
if u can get it for cheap!
Good job, man!
thanks!!
How to set your ISO value higher than 800 in manual mode?
go into settings if you did not set the iso settings to appear in your quick menu. it is quite a hassle tbh.
@@EwanLim I do have the ISO on my function bar but it only goes up to 800..
Which one is each one?
top is brio 500
I saw that stinks due to they will sell it 350 instead buy the ninja for the 4k
Why should you have to do this to a $200+ keyboard... Logitech cutting costs.
cause u can’t return it and it bothers u to no end? hahaha this was my last ever logitech keyboard
For a Sony zv-e10 which lens would be better for all around content. Wanting to do daily vlogging which would mostly be outside content but if I was in a house for a part of the vlog which would be best for that
the zve10, using 4k30 and active steadyshot (which is a must otherwise the footage looks horribile on this body) will crop 1.4x. which means the 11mm with active steadyshot will become like a 16mm without steadyshot on. so the 11mm is the better choice in this regard. the 16mm will become 35mm. now if you want to vlog talking head etc... 11mm for sure. if you want the camera to sit on a tripod and have the space, the 16mm will be good too. its all depends on how you shoot. and you can always use the cropping factor of 4k30p and steadyshot, to change the focal length too.
I bought 3 of these used for my small studio setup. These are great set it and forget it cameras that I use along with the Atem mini iso. The lack of continuous auto focus is a drag but they don't overheat and are built like tanks.
true about the set and forget it cameras. Aside from the ATEM Mini, did you use the Sony App for Multi-Cam?
@@EwanLim I never had a need to use the app for my home setup. However, for a mobile setup the app may come in handy.
Thanks for this usefull tips !
Hi! I would like to buy this camera for traveling, I just want to take pictures for my family trip, I have a go pro hero 10 but I would like to take better photos. Do you recommend it?
To be honest, maybe get any apple iphone or Samsung S series phone. Any older pocket/compact camera by Fuji or Sony would be good. I wouldn’t recommend the rx0 specifically for photos
Thanks!
Great vid! Im doing videography for a night club, very dark and dunamic environment with all the lights but the 11mm would be great for dancefloor, exagerated arty shots, etc. In your opinion, is the 5mm diferennce worth giving up 0.4 in aperture?
That is a hard question. It depends on on location as well. How small it is and etc. if it is a tight space then 5mm makes all the difference. And 0.4 in Aputure does have like half a stop difference but it doesn’t really matter tbh.
@@EwanLimthabks for your input.I do small and medium venues, very packed tight spaces but also Ive been doing some festivals lately and veering off more into that work. Factoring that in would you go for the 16mm or the 11mm?
@@SOR2RO mate at the end, you should probably have booth. if you have the sony kit lens, you can use that on 16mm for video, and get the 11mm. so at least you focal length is covered to your needs then in the future invest in the 16mm sigma. I have the sigma and I love this lens, its so sharp and wide enough, and very bright, it is much heavier tho than the 11mm so just a consideration. for my personal use the 16mm is wide enough tho, try and rent one for a day to see if you like it.
atomosd customer service does not exist its a shame 5 years ago company was good
Thank you for that very well-done video.
Glad it was helpful!
I'd be interested to see if this camera can do wired USB control to an android phone running Monitor+. It could be pretty convenient to have a low latency view of the camera while also being able to adjust the settings.
judging from the native sony app using usb, it was pretty laggy. the only low latency solution would be the micro hdmi out. I didn’t want to talk about using its usb control function because it was pretty bad.
@@EwanLim Thanks for the info. Definitely a lot that isn't perfect about this thing but I'll still be on the lookout for one if it's cheap enough
You had me with the spoon mic lol Very creative 😂
tanx tanx. the spoon is from Ikea. hahahaha would not recommend
Hey i have zve10. Should i go for 16 mm 1.4 sigma or 11 mm 1.8 sony..i m going to do eating show food vlog
oh 16mm and 56mm f1.4 sigma. 56mm sigma for close ups. or any other macro lens. 11mm is somewhat an ultrawide so you might have warp around the edges so you can't zoom in if you have anyone close to the lens. it depends on how you're shooting as well but I would advise on the 16mm f1.4 sigma lens
Is there any way to increase size? It’s hard to see yourself when you’re recording
nope. just remember to frame urself then turn on the selfie light. kind of a non-issue for a lot of people as long as you frame yourself correctly.
@@EwanLim if you have an light ring or bright lights it’s not much difference
I own this cámara and is a headache, when u record indoor places the videos is so grainy, and it's something that hate so much. And the autofocus is so annoying
exactly.
Wonder if 4K is a future firmware update? Seems to be quite the limit otherwise.
i sure do hope so. most people still do stream in HD which is the market they seem to be aiming towards.
Would you please try XQ2 or tried already?
somewhat the same tbh.
Necesito de tu ayuda. Voy a comenzar a realizar fotografía y video para casas en la playa. ¿Cuál me recomiendas?
11 mm para interior, 16 mm para exterior. Si las casas de playa son pequenas, consiga el de 11 mm. si la grande casas, 16mm. 11mm La lente de 11 mm deformar los lados. (sorry for my bad spanish but i hope u got it)
Thank you, just bought my E 11mm F1.8 Sony today 10/04/2024. Your video is informative.
you’re welcome!!!! hope u love using the lens!
I would wait until the end of April until the ZV - E10 II comes out
oooooooo yes. if it is better then i’m selling this one off! wooo!!!!
if shoot jpeg must well use phone camera is a waste of time if never fully utilised it , just my point of view
it depends on the type of photo you're taking as well but yeah. most modern phones are great and can even shoot in RAW too.
Someone needs to explain to people doing short video comparisons that you never see a difference in quality😅
very super duper true. which is why i was hesitant doing this part of the video. like… can u REALLY tell the difference? with the youtube compression and the different quality choices every viewer watches at? like i said in the video, “can you tell the difference?”. if I can’t even tell in the edit then how can the viewers tell? i just did it to get it over and done with since people are still curious about it. sorry for the rant, i actually had a long portion beechin about how people can’t tell but it sounds belittling other people since it was too technical and I’m not in a “youtube position” to do so.
Good video, whats the native iso ?
Depends on the picture profile you're using. For Slog2, it will be 800 but u can set it to 500 for whatever reason. Standard Picture will be 100.
@@EwanLimok thank, you think I can do slog2 with the kit lense ?
Last question, for the cine 4 and log 3 this a same native iso ?
Great Content. Love it!!
Thanks!!!
just got mine in the mail yesterday, very excited to use it
awesome. u'll love it!!! Did you get it with any lens?
@@EwanLim yeah I got the sigma 18-50
that is such an awesome lens. Do remember that having image stabilization will crop it slightly so 18mm might FEEL tight. I would suggest getting the Sigma 11-20mm f2.8 as well but the Sony 11mm f1.8 or even the Samyang 12mm f2 will do the trick.
Mac is genneraly better also for design but sadly it isnt very good for gaming.
it is horribly bad. tried playing Rust on it and it mostly plays fine till there are graphical glitches. m1-m3 chips really can’t handle the gpu power needed.
I never had that issue and ive been using davinci resolve you are just using a shite pc.
dude. it is known issue. but then an amd 5950x with rtx 4090 can be shit huh.
@@EwanLim true if you use a shit processor with a amazing gpu your going to get shit quality.
any idea where to find keycaps for this keyboard with primary and secondary illumination?
alibaba and q0010 has a few options
@@EwanLim i found some stickers that glow in the dark for 8 bucks ill give them a go lol price is right
Logitech G815 also hace that Maraca Wannabe Attitude. Never thought this G915 also suffered from that problem. My Solution is Poron.
tbh I can't believe that they even released this keyboard in this state and has NEVER issued any updated version to this. it is damn #!$*)!#$*!#$
@@EwanLim Yeah.. And here i am, That Had Bought that G815 is lower Tier. JOKES ON ME! G915 also Have wired and Wireless version. Dam. Plus, i Guess it has Something to Do with that Gx Switch. Its not GX switch. Its Kaihl Switch. Especially that propriotory Key cap hole and ots 2 pron like Leg. Keychron didnt have that Problem. The only issue is Khailh bottom Pin is Smaller than MX Standar and Keychron's. I dont mind really Having to Wasted some RM400+ or 100USD on logitech. What im not OK, was the Khailh Switch.
Do you have any experience with the canon g9 x? Same dimensions as the XQ1, with a larger sensor but shorter telephoto range. The fuji film simulation modes seem fun to use though.
g9x feels slower when using. not sure why. i THINK you can load your own custom picture profile if u use a canon program on pc/mac. Not a lot of people know that but u can load your own “looks” (basically input ur own lut into the program to input into the camera under user custom 1/2/3) You can just download ur own fuji look into the camera, which is what I used to do. in terms of which i prefer, I’d choose the fujifilm because the “feeling” of taking photos is just better. if u still want a canon then get the g5x mk2 2nd hand. edit: g5x ii over the g7x ii because it has a longer zoom.
@EwanLim that's helpful, thanks! I feel like anything thicker than the XQ1 might be a bit bulky for everyday carry. Too bad companies didn't continue with this ultra slim form factor.
@@drkluscious that is super sad. the only modern 'pocket' camera worth anyone's time right now is the Sony ZV-1 or the last RX100. Everything else like the Fuji X100 is too bulky to be considered a 'compact' camera. I do get almost depressed thinking about it sometimes.
Hey brother! Thanks, this helped a lot!
Glad it helped!!!
who has better image quality? iphone15 or fujifilm xq-1?
Photos: fujifilm xq-1 Videos: iPhone4 onwards. hahahaha iPhone15 is better for videos ARGUABLY, IF you shoot raw on iPhone 15, it is better in bright daylight for photos.
Strangely mobile like androids have slightly better videos given some can shoot at 4k with stabilisation.
I used my Sony 11 f1.8 today. We had a tow hour tour of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier. I just used the one lens. I thought about using the Sigma 18-50 f2.8 but I knew we would be in tight quarters. This lens made it easy. Some of the photos shower a distorted image, but I had no trouble capturing a dozen people and the docent. The f1.8 lens is fast and did a fine job even when the docent turned off the overhead lights in the CIC (Combat Information Center) leaving only the large display panels and equipment lights.
If you don't might a slight crop on the bottom edges, you could straighten out the distorted image and get a great long landscape shot. These can be soooo soo so beautiful. The CIC does get kinda tight though.
Cool!
thanks!!
Honesty great video. Really helpfull and funny. Your desk looks like mine.
