the only filmmaker, photographer and youtuber that i trust who keeps encouraging and inspiring us to shoot on any camera and make it good. thanks markus
I've watched countless hours of RUclips personalities and you've become one of the few that I trust to give me it to me straight. First, you have credentials, which so many lack. Second, you approach things much like I prefer to, simple and good enough to get done without overdoing things for no reason. I've been after a pocket camera for a while and have watched your videos on the RX100 VII at least 5 or 6 times. I pulled the trigger today on the little Sony, though it was nice to have videos like this to compare other models to it, your reasons for the RX100 VII being your favorite little camera convinced me. Looking forward to having that little powerhouse in my hand and seeing what I can do with it. Thanks for your content and for sharing your expertise and your approach, it's much appreciated!!
I've still got my RX100 mk5. I stopped upgrading after Sony removed the f1.8 aperture and the built-in ND filter. I love my mk5. The viewfinder is a must. I have an A6500, an a6000 an A7R5, a Sony FDR-X3000 video and several insta360 options BUT If I have to travel with just one camera it will be the RX100V. It is compact, has good image quality, has built-in ND, a viewfinder and fits a really great underwater housing. Sony always seem to get close to creating the perfect camera and then cock it up.
@@phillipbanes5484I added a magfilter system to mine. It enables quick and easy swap for polarizer, 10 stop and even a wide angle adapter lens. If only sony had added a mic jack and touch screen for focus it would have been near perfect.
Would you recommend it in terms of video? Looking for something that can take photos and videos but mostly care for quality over all additional features
@@_zed Video quality is great but no mic jack on the mkv. The built-in ND filter helps a lot for video. I also use magnetic filters if necessary. Records 4k at 25. HFR up to 960 fps but quality deteriorates significantly.
Refreshing to see someone show what can be done with lower costing gear. Like that he is not pushing the latest, greatest and expensive stuff and has the experience to know what works.
Markus, your videos , advice and experience are so valuable. Your no bs approach to products , price and hope are liberating! Thanks and don’t leave us!
Markus, thanks for understanding that not everyone has access to loads of money. I’m always buying second hand equipment to save a $1. You inspire me to settle with less expensive items.
Focus: for vlogging, the Panasonic Image App allows you to remotely control pretty much everything including focus. Typically I run the camera in manual focus mode, and press the AF in the app screen when I need to refocus. You can always do focus fully manually too on the app, plus the focus peaking works on the app. LX10 has been my goto go anywhere camera for a few years now. I bought it mostly for indoor shots in potentially badly lit places, so the F1.4 and 1” sensor were key selling points. Two main negatives (for me) are battery drain when not used for a while, and the on switch is too easy to inadvertently catch when putting the camera away, leaving you with a drained battery.
Super valid! And the IQ on the Panny Lumix cameras is top notch. I still have one, an LX3 with close to 80k images under its belt, video not so much [he images still look great even by today's standards --as you mentioned, if your deliverable is online or handheld who's going to know... and the build quality is top-notch. I may have to buy one of these to see how far they have come along over the years. Thank you for making this!
The LX7 produces very artistic images, but i prefer the canon g5x MII, the superior 1" 20MP sensor allows to more cropping, and 120mm zoom @ f/2.8 does produce nice background-blur. Also much better indoor camera as signal/noise on high iso is much better on canon. Although both have flash, but the Lx7 has shoe for superior external flash. Still the images from the LX7 feel different, and are more artistic.
Saludos desde CR, tengo una RX100 VII y me encanta lo portable que es, ademas de tener otras cámaras esta me parece increíble porque es demasiado pequeña, jamas pensé que fuera tan pequeña es un éxito.
I use my LX10 for photography for almost 3 years now and I absolutely love it! The lens is indeed very sharp, the RAW files are incredibly good for editing (with a ton of dynamic range) and the wide aperture really helps it at low light scenes. Also, it can shoot macro from 3 centimeters (or a little over 1inch) with the great background blur. :)
I love that you keep it real and have no problems going against the flow and advise people on sensible options. Do you think that there's even a need for a pocket camera if you already have a flagship smart phone (i.e. anything equivalent to or newer than Samsung S22 Ultra, iPhone 14+ Max, Sony Xperia 1V, etc., ...)?
I've always wanted Panasonic to release a series of micro 4 3rds fixed focal length pocket cameras. An 8mm (16mm), 25mm (50mm), and one longer length. They would be so much easier to carry on hikes etc... Pocket primes.
Once again Markus did it! wohooo! for all the youngsters there! save your selves and listen to this Guy! A big thanks Markus for saving these generation! wohoooo!
The LX 10 is a portable cinematic beast. I have it from 2018 always mated with Zhiyun Crane M. It is 2024 I still have it. Bought recently a tiffen mist filter for it but haven't tried it yet. I do own several cameras from my photography/video journey -- CanonPowershotPro1( 2005), Canon s95 (2011), Canon 70D (2014),100D (2016), Lumix LX 10 (2018), GP6 (2018), Dji Spark (2017),Lumix ZS200 (2019), GP 11 & 12 (2023). My point is in 2024 this is still my go to guy the LX10 despite my wife showing me great Iphone results. Anyway, the next step in my journey seems to be going to the Fuji xs20. My big DSLRs have taken a back seat for a while now. I just shoot photos and videos of me and my wife's travels. Not a pro in anyway. Thank you for this video.
Another great video. I have wanted an LX10 but not affordable for me, but then i found a similar camera, Canon G7XMii for great price used, works perfectly. Great companion to my interchangeable lens bodies.
great little camera the LX10. I had it for about 2 years, then the lens mechanism broke and fixing it was too high a price, but I have to say, a real gem for travel and street photography!
I've got the Panasonic LX 15/10 too and have been happy with it, especially its low light performance. Works well on the Zhiyun Crane M2. It was released 7 years ago in 2016 but still holds up. Panasonic should update it with 60fps and better AF and ergonomics.
Just love your videos and that you offer lower cost alternatives and make fun of spec geeks, always funny!!! Keep up the fantastic content, cheers, Michael
I saved and shopped and, finally pulled the trigger on a Lumix. I wanted the G85 because it has a flip forward screen, mic out and it's weatherproff-ish. But, I guess I got too excited because I accidentally pulled the trigger on the G85X instead which does NONE OF THOSE THINGS. Oh well. Live and learn. I still enjoy using it but, I have to attach a big Desview monitor to the hotshoe to see myself. I love it when you talk about Lumix because I always learn how to dial it in just a bit better. I just started playing around with iDynamic and iResolution. What a difference! Appreciated.
I saw your videos on the zhiyun lights you did. It was straight to the point no bullshit. And I went with the colbor 60 you recommended instead. I needed a small everyday simple camera and went for this after watching this video. Here to say.. COULDNT be happier .. it has crazy macro capability, it is such a potent street photography camera for the price I think it beats the Ricoh GR 3 series in terms of still.
Thank you for all you do Markus. I appreciate your generosity. One feature of the RXI love that I do not hear talked about at all is in photography and the leaf shutter's ability to shoot 1/2000 with onboard flash. Have you tried it? it is mind-blowingly good and very very useful.
Have you ever tried the Samsung exf2? Just curious on your thoughts. Shoots at 1080p and has a lowest aperture of 1.4. I have one but haven’t shot much video yet. Has OIS as well. Very hard to find though.
Samsung made GREAT cameras, shame they stopped. The EXF2 is only 12MP compared to the 20MP of the LX10, weighs almost the same and its actually a bit bigger than the LX10! And yeah it doesn't do 4K. But I never had one.
I read some reviews saying that it has poor battery and focus. Did you experience this? Also comparing this with canon sx740 and sony hx99. Any thoughts on which one would be best for family pictures, etc?
I've always been a Panasonic fan boy! They typically give you more for less and now since they've finally switched to phase detect focus, well they are the only brand I look at. Panasonic is the king 👑of digital cameras now in my opinion Cheers 🍻
@@MarkusPix: Yeah, something like this little LX10 would be perfect for that everyday all around pocket cam. It just needs good stabilization and phase detect. I'm confident newer versions are in the works with the updated feature. Panasonic has been very consistent with their updates, usually offering more features to old gear along the way. But phase detect is hardware dependent to the best of my knowledge, it' can't be simply added with just a firmware update, unfortunately. That might be a video idea for ya.... Showing the differences between the different types of auto focus and explaining how each one works and how they differ.
When you say 24mm-72mm, is that the 35mm equivalent, or does it need to be converted from 1"? Really cool camera. I absolutely love my Panasonic Lumix GX8. Also, what kind of car is that? The closest I can guess is an old Hyundai, but I don't think that would be right. A Maybach?
I went for the gx800. larger m4/3 sensor and the ability to use the lenses of my other lumix g cameras. but the lx10 is great, although I must say that without needing a flip screen there is also a nice alternative, the lx100II
Would love to hear your thoughts on the best video camera with a large zoom with good stabilization and 4k. My vlogging setup only goes to 70mm (and can push that further with clear image zoom) but that’s still not close enough to capture some of the shows I film at theme parks and stuff. What’s your recommendation?
"unlike some other cameras that claim that they're pocket cameras"... Yes, I always was so bummed with the direction that Blackmagic took with the "Pocket" line. I really wish they kept with the pocket theme and made high quality, small sensor cameras. That would be so fun!
Great that you shot the video from the camera so we get the idea about the clarity. I'm looking for a pocket able camera which is cheap just replace my phone so I'm gonna search about this camera
What you think of the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera original? I can find it cheap but with just little more money i can get the 4k one . What do you think? Thanks Markus
I love Panasonic cameras. It would be silly to say Panasonics are underrated but i do think they are frequently overlooked by the GAS brigade. I've just been playing with a GX80/85 (bought it as a backup stills camera) and I love it. I normally shoot video with a GH5 but I couldn't resist buying the GM5 too! They're extremely well built, great economics and i think they look smart too, even that tiny red GM5. Unfortunately the LX10 doesn't have a view finder so that's a no for me, but it's definitely a worthy competitor to the RX line.
Looks like the entrance to the Mecca Hills Painted Canyon. I’m not sure if this filter adapter would work on the LUMIX, but it’s gunna be awesome on the 100VII NiSi Filter System for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI or DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera @ B&H
I had Panasonic Lumix ZS50, The camera broke down after 23 months of constant use. Panasonic does not have a factory repair facility in the US, but it is contracted. The repair company said I abused the camera and refused to repair under their "free(1 year factory + 1 year extended)" warranty; and the repair without warranty was more than 2/3ds the cost of a newer replacement camera. I finally just broke down and bought a Sony RX100-7, and never looked back. The RX100-7 costed a pretty penny, but was worth it. My Sony RX100-7 is still functioning perfectly after 4 years of constant use, Sony has a RX100-5a which has a 24-70mm 35mm-equiv zoom and costs about $1,000US. At the moment as of Jun 13, 2024, it is sold in the USA, and a new shipment is expected August-2024.
Yes the 100-7 is the king, I have five of them now. The problem with the 5a is it doesn't have the super eye AF and it overheats after a few minutes when doing video
I enjoyed this review Marcus, but the lack of a mike jack is a deal-killer for me. I mostly film in the kitchen -- food, food prep and upper torso conversation shots. Am I stuck with the Sony?
The 1.4f aperture is only available at the 24mm (equivalent) focal length. All the Lumix 1" sensor cameras have Leica designed lenses, that's why they are so sharp. Sometimes too sharp. I have an LX10 and a ZS100 as a travelling pair.
Hey.. I am confused between lx10 and zs100.. i m more of a photography person than videos.. which wud be a better choice between the 2.. the thing pulling me towards the zs100 is the zoom range.. but lx10 has a tilt screen..which one wud u recommend
@@maheshkamath3678 I have the ZS220 from 2019 and the LX 10 from 2018. One is portable cinematic beast and the other is superzoom one camera rule them all for travel photography. The Zs220 though is still no match for mySLR (70D and 100D) if you want effortless bokeh shots. Of course, the DSLRs have taken a back seat in recent years for me as they are huge and Im being practical during vacations.
LX10 is really good camera imo, it does however suffer in poor lighting which is a systematic issue of early Panasonic cameras, they all just, suck in low light, the colours turn all weird and stuff. But in good lights these cameras really do shine well, I hope Panasonic one day releases LX20 with all new autofocus system, I guess they wont, but one can dream, thats all the LX10 needs, a better AF system, its perfect otherwise you can even hack V-log to it, not sure why you would, but its possible.
Nice alternative or option for low light! Wondering if you have ever used the Sony Hx99…sadly, not a one inch sensor (1/2.3) with a 720mm zoom in a pocket camera. Not something you would likely use though, but kinda cool.
what power issues? I recently went to Hokkaido Japan and I failed to take care of it and just put it on my hand carry trolley. Afterwards, the lens retraction smoothness problem occurs now. I have no power issues so far though I have 3 batteries from 2018.
Appreciate your "brain fresh" sharing again, may I ask about what brand of.ND filter you are using or could you share your video link if you already shared it previously? Lot of funny and learning when watching your sharing each time,.thank you very much again!
Marcus, here is an idea for one of your videos, how about examining the new A.I. programs that enhance both video and still photography. I have seen video taken back in the late 80's turned into something that looks great. I have photos that I have do the same with. They were out of focus (too soft) and the program nicely cleaned them up.
zv-1 mark 1 is crazy good if you don't care about viewfinder. Costs pennies, stacked sensor, wide aperture, has zoom, built-in microphone, crazy good autofocus and is generally focused on vlogging / recording - the thing that scares me away from RX100 mark 5 is the fact how quickly it overheats during video recording
You can change the heat setting. Almost every RUclips video I've made in the last 5 years was made with the RX100. The ZV image quality is not like the RX, I gave mine away.
@@MarkusPix Thanks for the reply! Didn't know that. Other RUclipsrs that I had heard talk about the RX100 mentioned that you can basically record for 5 minutes before it overheats, I believe it was for versions before the M5A (including the M5). I'm casual first and foremost when it comes to photography (even more when it comes to filmmaking) and I care only about portability and good AF right now to primarily focus on the artistic side, scene composition, etc. Most of the pictures that I took and didn't like are mostly due to me being a bad photographer, not necessarily my equipment :) I'm happy with ZV-1 for my usecase, maybe someday I will look into buying RX100 m7 for that neat zoom lens, or something newer if anything else ever (hopefully) comes out.
I am pretty satisfied with just using my iPhone for general photography and video; I use my full frame cameras for "serious" work. But I wonder if you have used the Panasonic LX-100, which has always piqued my interest. It is a little bit larger than the LX-10 of course, especially in depth, but it has a M4/3 sensor. That depth though does make it not a truly pocketable camera. Also, to be a bit more fair, the Sony RX100M5 (which, knowing how many different cameras you try, you may even have one?) is close to the Panasonic spec-wise, and is "only" $999.99.😛On that note, I rarely buy anything new. There are sooo many gently used camera available, that it just seems crazy to me to pay retail prices. The Sony could be had for 30-50% less used.
Pretty sure he did a video on the LX100 at some point. Having all the primary settings immediately available at your fingertips is the big plus on that camera, but it’s going to struggle to be pocketable. Edit: ruclips.net/video/beUeHoZJc68/видео.htmlsi=6_NkTlWQlahUsa9J
@@phillipbanes5484 I don’t do much video, but I process any photo I deem worthy. In my opinion, with good software and thoughtful processing, you can make an iPhone photo look virtually as clean as a photo from a compact camera, especially when we’re talking about viewing on a phone or computer screen. Even if you cannot in the pixel peeping sense, subject, composition, and lighting is more important. I’ll take one of my good iPhone photos over one of my mediocre A7III shots any day of the week.
Markus has the uncanny ability to make video with every camera look like it's a green screen background! I think it's the hair that makes it look artificially separated from a fake background, even when it isn't! Tell me the 02:15 doesn't look green-screened (before the "behind the scenes" reveal at 02:31 that it's actually on site)

I went for the gx800. larger m4/3 sensor and the ability to use the lenses of my other lumix g cameras. but the lx10 is great, although I must say that without needing a flip screen there is also a nice alternative, the lx100II
Markus' real job is making things disappear in the Nevada Desert. Making videos in the desert is a GREAT alibi!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the best video camera with a large zoom with good stabilization and 4k. My vlogging setup only goes to 70mm (and can push that further with clear image zoom) but that’s still not close enough to capture some of the shows I film at theme parks and stuff. What’s your recommendation?

"unlike some other cameras that claim that they're pocket cameras"... Yes, I always was so bummed with the direction that Blackmagic took with the "Pocket" line. I really wish they kept with the pocket theme and made high quality, small sensor cameras. That would be so fun!
Great that you shot the video from the camera so we get the idea about the clarity. I'm looking for a pocket able camera which is cheap just replace my phone so I'm gonna search about this camera
What you think of the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera original? I can find it cheap but with just little more money i can get the 4k one . What do you think? Thanks Markus
I love Panasonic cameras. It would be silly to say Panasonics are underrated but i do think they are frequently overlooked by the GAS brigade. I've just been playing with a GX80/85 (bought it as a backup stills camera) and I love it. I normally shoot video with a GH5 but I couldn't resist buying the GM5 too! They're extremely well built, great economics and i think they look smart too, even that tiny red GM5. Unfortunately the LX10 doesn't have a view finder so that's a no for me, but it's definitely a worthy competitor to the RX line.
GX850!!!!!!!!! yeah
@@MarkusPix GX80, not GX850
At half the price of the Sony, I opted for this in 2018; the savings went to a GoPro6. Best decision I had.
Looks like the entrance to the Mecca Hills Painted Canyon.
I’m not sure if this filter adapter would work on the LUMIX, but it’s gunna be awesome on the 100VII
NiSi Filter System for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI or DSC-RX100 VII Digital Camera
@ B&H
I got an LX10 earlier this year and have used it to make several videos.
I had Panasonic Lumix ZS50, The camera broke down after 23 months of constant use. Panasonic does not have a factory repair facility in the US, but it is contracted. The repair company said I abused the camera and refused to repair under their "free(1 year factory + 1 year extended)" warranty; and the repair without warranty was more than 2/3ds the cost of a newer replacement camera.
I finally just broke down and bought a Sony RX100-7, and never looked back. The RX100-7 costed a pretty penny, but was worth it. My Sony RX100-7 is still functioning perfectly after 4 years of constant use,
Sony has a RX100-5a which has a 24-70mm 35mm-equiv zoom and costs about $1,000US. At the moment as of Jun 13, 2024, it is sold in the USA, and a new shipment is expected August-2024.
Yes the 100-7 is the king, I have five of them now. The problem with the 5a is it doesn't have the super eye AF and it overheats after a few minutes when doing video
Markus is the best thing to happen to Panasonic since the portable 8Track player.
I enjoyed this review Marcus, but the lack of a mike jack is a deal-killer for me. I mostly film in the kitchen -- food, food prep and upper torso conversation shots. Am I stuck with the Sony?
You don't need a pocket camera for kitchen videos. There are many many camera options out there.
The 1.4f aperture is only available at the 24mm (equivalent) focal length. All the Lumix 1" sensor cameras have Leica designed lenses, that's why they are so sharp. Sometimes too sharp. I have an LX10 and a ZS100 as a travelling pair.
Hey.. I am confused between lx10 and zs100.. i m more of a photography person than videos.. which wud be a better choice between the 2.. the thing pulling me towards the zs100 is the zoom range.. but lx10 has a tilt screen..which one wud u recommend
@@maheshkamath3678 I have the ZS220 from 2019 and the LX 10 from 2018. One is portable cinematic beast and the other is superzoom one camera rule them all for travel photography. The Zs220 though is still no match for mySLR (70D and 100D) if you want effortless bokeh shots. Of course, the DSLRs have taken a back seat in recent years for me as they are huge and Im being practical during vacations.
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing!
LX10 is excellent camera. Good image quality. Bad Continuous AF in movie
Was it bad in this video? It was on AFC
Wish the LX10 went to 135mm, but 72mm is not enough for me but the lens on the LX10 is impressive.
Thanks Marcus 👍
Never looked at one Mr. Markus,, but a 1.4 Lens? Yes please!
Always good sense, informative videos.
I looked at prices for new and used Panasonic Lumix LX10s and they are almost the same as the Sony RX100 vii. Its also hard to find new.
Have you played with the LX100? I know it’s bigger but I really debated getting one instead of the GX85.
ruclips.net/video/beUeHoZJc68/видео.html
Thanks Markus! Can you get that bokeh with the Sony RX100vii too at 2.8 or the Pocket 3?
Thank you Markus for the review!
Wow!! I might get the lumix one!! Both are great cameras!!
LX10 is really good camera imo, it does however suffer in poor lighting which is a systematic issue of early Panasonic cameras, they all just, suck in low light, the colours turn all weird and stuff.
But in good lights these cameras really do shine well, I hope Panasonic one day releases LX20 with all new autofocus system, I guess they wont, but one can dream, thats all the LX10 needs, a better AF system, its perfect otherwise you can even hack V-log to it, not sure why you would, but its possible.
Nice alternative or option for low light! Wondering if you have ever used the Sony Hx99…sadly, not a one inch sensor (1/2.3) with a 720mm zoom in a pocket camera. Not something you would likely use though, but kinda cool.
filming and audio is art. simple
I really like your videos. Keep up the good work :)
Good reason to come out to the desert for sure! Nice alternative 🤨🧐🤔
how better compared with lx100? prices are similar and aperture not so different
Love my LX10. Unfortunately, it is having power issues now I wish they would come out with some newer versions.
what power issues? I recently went to Hokkaido Japan and I failed to take care of it and just put it on my hand carry trolley. Afterwards, the lens retraction smoothness problem occurs now. I have no power issues so far though I have 3 batteries from 2018.
Appreciate your "brain fresh" sharing again, may I ask about what brand of.ND filter you are using or could you share your video link if you already shared it previously? Lot of funny and learning when watching your sharing each time,.thank you very much again!
LOVE THE FLIP UP SCREEN!!
👍
"These are real cameras"
AHAHAHHAA what a gangster. 😂
how is background so nice, dreamy, and fantastical?
Marcus, here is an idea for one of your videos, how about examining the new A.I. programs that enhance both video and still photography. I have seen video taken back in the late 80's turned into something that looks great. I have photos that I have do the same with. They were out of focus (too soft) and the program nicely cleaned them up.
pretty interesting option.
used pricing. RX100VII: 900 Panasonic LX10: 450
zv-1 mark 1 is crazy good if you don't care about viewfinder. Costs pennies, stacked sensor, wide aperture, has zoom, built-in microphone, crazy good autofocus and is generally focused on vlogging / recording - the thing that scares me away from RX100 mark 5 is the fact how quickly it overheats during video recording
You can change the heat setting. Almost every RUclips video I've made in the last 5 years was made with the RX100. The ZV image quality is not like the RX, I gave mine away.
@@MarkusPix Thanks for the reply! Didn't know that. Other RUclipsrs that I had heard talk about the RX100 mentioned that you can basically record for 5 minutes before it overheats, I believe it was for versions before the M5A (including the M5).
I'm casual first and foremost when it comes to photography (even more when it comes to filmmaking) and I care only about portability and good AF right now to primarily focus on the artistic side, scene composition, etc. Most of the pictures that I took and didn't like are mostly due to me being a bad photographer, not necessarily my equipment :)
I'm happy with ZV-1 for my usecase, maybe someday I will look into buying RX100 m7 for that neat zoom lens, or something newer if anything else ever (hopefully) comes out.
A nice compact pocket camera deserves a nice pouch.
yes
I wish there was a version with a non-telescoping lens that you just keep turning on and off without that extra battery and physical drain
You should do your photoshoots and camera reviews in area 51. It's way more quiet there and the background view is great.
I would love to try someday a big huge Fujifilm GFX 100 camera for a blurry background. 😅
Lets see a photoshoot between the 2! Bring Cara!
What is your opinion on the Sony RX100 VA, ZV-1 II, ZV-1 ,RX100 III, & ZV-1 F as RX100vii alternatives?
Any RX is good. I'm giving away my ZV cameras as we speak in the current holiday giveaway
Markus has hundreds of beautiful background panels.
😊Excellent suggestion for my newest eye candy Markus !!!
Great job Markus
Can you compare some cameras with DJI Pocket 3 ??? Thnks
Your microphone just sounds great
I am pretty satisfied with just using my iPhone for general photography and video; I use my full frame cameras for "serious" work. But I wonder if you have used the Panasonic LX-100, which has always piqued my interest. It is a little bit larger than the LX-10 of course, especially in depth, but it has a M4/3 sensor. That depth though does make it not a truly pocketable camera.
Also, to be a bit more fair, the Sony RX100M5 (which, knowing how many different cameras you try, you may even have one?) is close to the Panasonic spec-wise, and is "only" $999.99.😛On that note, I rarely buy anything new. There are sooo many gently used camera available, that it just seems crazy to me to pay retail prices. The Sony could be had for 30-50% less used.
Pretty sure he did a video on the LX100 at some point. Having all the primary settings immediately available at your fingertips is the big plus on that camera, but it’s going to struggle to be pocketable.

@@phillipbanes5484 I don’t do much video, but I process any photo I deem worthy. In my opinion, with good software and thoughtful processing, you can make an iPhone photo look virtually as clean as a photo from a compact camera, especially when we’re talking about viewing on a phone or computer screen. Even if you cannot in the pixel peeping sense, subject, composition, and lighting is more important. I’ll take one of my good iPhone photos over one of my mediocre A7III shots any day of the week.
Very good review , but why do you want a blurrry background Markus?
Where's the love for the ZS100?!
Thats a nice camera but the screen doesnt flip up so you can't see yourself and the lens is f2.8 - 5.6, not the juicy 1.4
@@MarkusPix Touché!
Markus has the uncanny ability to make video with every camera look like it's a green screen background! I think it's the hair that makes it look artificially separated from a fake background, even when it isn't! Tell me the 02:15 doesn't look green-screened (before the "behind the scenes" reveal at 02:31 that it's actually on site)
How long can you record with it before it over heats?
