Simple answer - absolutely yes. I never used to take pics or videos. This camera is soo good and rewarding, that I take footage every single day as it is always with me - it is just FUN 😀
I just bought one December 2021. In only 10 days its become my go to everyday camera. I work within its few limitations and am glad I bought it. Great video.
It’s so convenient right? Great little camera, I’m excited for the next gen
Best review I’ve seen on this camera, very well balanced. Nice work!
Jim Kuhr thank you Jim, I appreciate the compliment very much.
Thank you for the informative review. Your clip looks very professional and the lighting superb! I am not a pro, but cannot help but notice how many so called pros have a cluttered studio with distracting background and out of focus shots. Great job!
Hi Andras, thank you so much for the comment. I’m new to RUclips so I appreciate the positivity. I am trying to improve my video quality with each video I put out. So thanks again!
100% truth. I recently retired and am traveling for an extended time and find myself NOT bringing out my big mirrorless system. Love my kit but find myself using my phone more often. I will be purchasing an RX-100 Vii
Great information. Love the light conversational style. Very interesting comparison to the rx100v.
Glad you liked it!
Hello, is it still worth buying in 2023?
Great review and your personality and presentation is A1. Thank You!
I appreciate that!
Thank you, you are a natural presenter and it was great watching your video. Straight to the points and decisive. I really enjoy your review and will purchase one unit for traveling.
Thanks Bao, I appreciate the compliments :). Where are you traveling? I'd love to see your photos!
Yes but he has shot children. I may have taken that statement out of context
My lumix zs100 hit the concrete at a concert. It was slippery. I stuck 3 velcro strips on my m7, good to go!
Man a camera drop at a concert may be the way to ruin your night! Sorry bro
Great review!! Was wondering what lavalier mic you're using? Your audio sounds great!
Thanks Clinton and sorry I forgot to link the Lav. It's here: www.amazon.com/Professional-Microphone-Omnidirectional-Recording-Conference/dp/B01AG56HYQ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=lav+mic&qid=1574221824&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQk5SUTM1MVZGSFpRJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjM4NzE5MkJJSUY1TUEyQ0lGUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTA2NzEwTjRFRlA3WjdWT041JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Nice review. I like the rx cameras. I have the 7 and I am thinking of selling because it keeps me from using my a7iii. I am always comparing with my iPhone 11 max. I hate when the iPhone wins. Ha
Hey Scott, totally agree with you on comparing my iPhone. I will say iPhone night mode is pretty nice, but for anything with added zoom reach, extended recording time, and good audio I'd take the Rx. I also think the Rx is better if you're going to run your photos and edit in Lightroom first, but if it's just straight Jpg I think Apple does a better job. I think we should just have Apple make their own mirrorless already!?
@@DominicPhillip jpg from iphone11 and from this camera , which one is better ?
Your iPhone wins - seriously?! I have an iPhone Pro 13 Max -stupidly!! Have you ever tried taking a video shot where you zoom and watch the whole footage fall apart as it changes lenses and the colours, depth of field etc etc go to pot!! As for the a7iii - looked at that. It seems to suffer from rolling shutter - the Rx100:does not at all.
@@colinhoward2200 thanks for the comment. Ugh I sold the rx and I have an 13 pro max on order. I still have the zv1 but I was going to sell it and use the iPhone. We shall see ….
17:00 on special events, you can now get mark6 for the half price of mark7; and if you're lucky enough, of course, since it often the last one available.
the best camera is the one you have on you. i'm waiting on the 24-70 version of this camera. great review thx. sub
You’re absolutely right Thanh! The best camera is the one you have to get the shot. That’s part of the beauty of a camera with this size and abilities
Great review and great presentation. Smooth like butta!
Thx for watching
Yes, but for such a high price, is it THAT much better for casual snapshots than something that costs a third of that?
Probably not. Definitely disposable income purchase.
I just picked up a good used copy of the rx100va for a great price- so far, I am very pleased to have it as a go everywhere camera when I don't want to carry my heavier gear. The first thing that I did was buy and install the Sony grip ( huge improvement! for an extra $20.00 ) and I have ordered a second battery and travel charger. I am not loving my Peak Design wrist strap on it but the Leash is okay. This is the camera that I will take when I am not comfortable bringing along a more conspicuous set up.
Great video. One simple suggestion though, when you say “ok google” in the video so very clearly, it triggers my google speaker, and I need to pause the video to stop it from explaining to me what speedy means …lol…
My apologies. I’ve learned this lesson now. Haha 🙏🏽✌🏽
I considered this camera. I have an hx90v which is a baby brother of the RX. I didn't buy it, (my choice cost about same) I bought an a6400 and Sigma 16mm instead. When the RX shows up on the 2nd hand market here in Saigon, I'll probably grab one. Nice review. Great camera too.
Thats a really smart choice! I actually just bought an a6400 myself and will drop a video about it soon. Such a great camera and a good value second hand!
Nice review.But last part seems to be bit promoting rx 100 vii.If you could do a review of canon m6 markii that would be great so as to compare although both systems are different.
Hey, although I do love this camera, I'm def not promoting it. Just a lot of pros especially compared to the cons. I do really like that new M6 mark II, I think I should do a review of it! Stay tuned...
@@DominicPhillip Thank you.
Great video ! I want to buy this camera, but i was wondering if this camera capable to shoot on low light situation, bcs i decided i want to shoot at night (photo n video) more
Hey Akira, thanks for watching and the comment. I'll be honest with you, first I would wait on buying this for the next couple months.... it's been a while since this launched and I suspect a new one is coming so the price will drop. Also, It's not very good at low light performance. Anything with this small 1" sensor won't be great at low light. If you want to shoot photo and video in low light I'd look a crop sensor body minimum or full frame.
@@DominicPhillip ahh that's a shame... the zoom on this camera is fantastic tho, but maybe i can use this on a daylight. Do you have any good recommendations ? A camera compact enough for me shooting video and photo ?
Thanks for your great video. Is the viewfinder any good for someone wearing glasses?
No, it actually sucks with glasses on! It’s super annoying. Sorry
@@DominicPhillip that's what I was afraid of, thanks for your reply 👏👏
Well I wear glasses and it is fine for me. It is just about technique. Practice for 10 mins and you will get it. This camera is just mind blowing and you just have to make minor adjustments. You will get the best footage you ever had, and also more memories just because it is so small so it is always with you. Way better than my iPhone 13 Pro Max or my dads Samsung s21 Ultra. Also does not suffer from rolling shutter like the Sony 6000 or A7C.
I have this camera and am new to it. I noticed the focal length is 9-72mm, but it does not seem to be around 16mm with the crop sensor, when fully wide. Do I have a wrong setting or something?
It gets tricky when talking focal lengths without talking about equivalents. The rx has a 24mm-200mm full frame equivalent. Remember this isn’t a crop sensor, it’s a 1 inch sensor so the ratios are even more drastic. But no, at the wide you won’t get wider than 24mm. Congrats on the purchase though!
Can't find a link to the mic you're showing...
Nice review. Maybe a little more space between clips though? Sounds like you never take a breath!
Hey Chris, I appreciate your feedback. I’ll try to breath and chill more. Haha I just wanted to pack as much info as I could into the video.
The $15. dollar Sony rubber grip will mostly cure the "slippery as hell" problem (Sony should've shipped the camera with these installed IMO)
I almost refuse to buy that just out of principle. Lol but great tip!
Sort of disagree - I wanted thing as small as possible but also fits into the leather case so I can hang it around my neck. Although I guess they could have just provided it in the packaging at the price I paid!
@@colinhoward2200 its all fun and games till it gets dropped.
I’m just saying. Enjoy, it’s a great camera…
I like your review, good job.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate the comment
Can I make music video clips with it and a stabilizer like crane m2? The slow mo is really important to me. And I probably shoot hd not 4k.but with post grading is it gonna be fine? Of course not comparing to ariana grande videos but would it be good buy? Also those video clips are for my own music so not to make money.
Hey, so you can definitely do slow mo on a crane m2 and that’s a great setup. Just remember that with the RX slow motion you’re limited to short bursts, which i don’t like. Also, if you’re looking for a more versatile camera to shoot something like this on I’d look at an older sony a6100 or a canon m50. They’re cheaper, more versatile, and much much better at slow motion video than the RX. Easier to work with and for music video work you’ll want to be able to change your lenses out for different uses.
@@DominicPhillip well I wish you responded sooner cuz I already bought a rx100 va then returned it then got zv1 which is cool
My only problem with this camera is the zoom wiggles the camera while working it’s extremes, even on a tripod operating with the app. It’s a distraction in the video.
Great review. Thanks
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
I want to use this camera for observation purpose. So... need it to shoot video for a few hours and also in schools and in family homes. So with Many people in the room with the person i need to obsurve for my job. You think this camera is good for that job? Or do you have Another better suggestion? Thanks for this review! I liked it a lot.
I’m not sure I fully understand the needs you have and what you want to shoot. But I think you need to run a lengthy video feed or live stream. If thats the case I don’t know that this is a good choice. I think the canon m50 ii may be better for you. Especially rigging it up with external power and enough memory or live stream feed to run for long periods.
Great review!
Thank you sir! Much appreciated
Yes, speedily is a word, however it is awkward using it as you did. It is most correctly found in this context: “she speedily completed the task.” Rapidly might have been a better choice for the sentence. I am not sure why speedily feels wrong there. I suspect it is more to do with common usage than anything.
BTW, I am in the camp of those who prefer the 1.8 to 2.8 lens from the Five, and love the ZV1... except that they more than halved the HFR shooting times. Canon is not the only company that loves the Cripple Hammer. As to the poor close distance focusing, that is where the Panasonic LX100 II shines. Sony for slow motion and most AF, Panny for macro and touch screen.
You sir, are a smarter man than I! I appreciate the comment and knowledge. I think the Zv2 could be the real winner if they fix a few things.
@@DominicPhillip Unfortunately, all of these companies tend to struggle with giving customers what they really need. After all, cool design and clever marketing sell more cameras than fixing problems does. :(
EV1 was ruled out for me as it did not have the EVF. If you are trying to take scenes in bright sunshine using the screen you have no chance. It is horses for courses - and depends on your needs. It is why I guess the produce both the RX100 and EV1. There is no right answer 😀
You confused the High Frame Rate and Burst features. Two different features, two different functionalities.
Hey Frank, after rewatching and seeing your comment I think I you’re right, I misused the terminology. I understand the difference but did not verbalize that very well. Thanks! PS- I still hate high frame rate. Lol
@@DominicPhillip HFR is one of those things that sounds so great in theory, but I have never really used it to good purpose. I just got my RX 100 vii, but I've had an RX 10 m4 for a few years and don't use it on that either.
I believe I would buy the Sony A6400 instead
I must be doing something terribly wrong. My ZV-1 produces far better still
images than my Sony RX100 VII which shocks me. I must being doing something wrong.
It was 🙂...VIII where is it?
It long overdue!
I think I am persuaded.
I don’t want to persuade you, just give you some facts and my findings. Hope you enjoyed
I would gladly buy 2 variants of them, one with 200mm lens and another one with 18-55mm 1.4-2.8 lens. If Panasonic was able to get this wide angle lens, why not Sony? Sony wanted to compete with phones, but they went wrong direction. Instead of making it wide angle lens, they decided to go with a reach, which is used much less by general public than wide angle.
Hey Oleg, totally agree with you, most people out there will use a wide much more than a zoom. I honestly think they'll drop another version with a more standard 24-70 F1.8-2.8 lens in the future. An 18-55 would be even nicer, I like your thinking!
I climb 14,000 ft mountains, this camera is theshit.com
@@traysoncohen2459 Bro I would die climbing 1,000 feet and you did 14k! Congrats... and let's see the pics!!
Bion Z processor!!! Do you mean Bionz X processor...
The low light of this camera beats the best iPhone by a margin, you are comparing computation photography with singe shot. Don't do that, use MFNR or HDR in the camera, then it beats iPhone's in low light.
Thanks Molan. You’re absolutely right though, computational photography shouldn’t be compared. The new iPhones are amazing
For $1300 with a garbage touch screen is enough for me to call this trash.
I don't care if it can make sandwiches it's to expensive, it's closing in on a Fuji X-T4.
I get it. Take a look at the zv1.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as there are people who think $1300 is worth it. Next, they will charge us $1500, the $1800...
Just saying 😎
As long as the competition is unable to keep up, they will be able to charge for it
We, the demand for the business, are definitely justifying the price by purchasing the rx100, but there’s also nothing else like it on the market.
You’re right, there’s nothing else on the market that can compete with its size and abilities!
Not worth it.
Well now there’s other options on the market. But it’s still worth it if you can find one used!
