    • @stillepic5174
      @stillepic5174 6 месяцев назад +8

      I’m still a newbie too but I feel like I have a decent idea of the capabilities of the A7. I personally would have let the camera control most of the settings by using either A or S priority for the challenge and only switched to manual if I had a really good idea of the end result I wanted

    • @ItsPinecone_911
      @ItsPinecone_911 6 месяцев назад +2

      To be far, the A7R series isnt the best for low light.

  • @Skilvo
    @Skilvo 6 месяцев назад +81

    How dare she disrespect the RX100 VII (09:28)?! That camera is extremely capable considering it's size and weight. I used the RX100 VI before upgrading to an A7 and it never disappointed me!

  • @tommynguyen8620
    @tommynguyen8620 6 месяцев назад +35

    Mike, the RX100 Vii can absolutely go slower than 1/8 s on the shutter - it just has to be set into the mechanical shutter mode, you had it in electronic shutter mode.

    • @piotrch0
      @piotrch0 6 месяцев назад +5

      ...or continuous shooting, that also limits the shutter to 1/8s. To go slower, it has to be in single-shot mode.

  • @gliderpilot2006
    @gliderpilot2006 6 месяцев назад +9

    I always like these kinds of videos, this was my introduction to your channel and I like this content a lot! The thing I find when watching similar videos is that the professional gives the novice a huge boost by allowing them to watch them work. You could see her evolve as a photographer as the shoot went on, in the beginning it felt like she was looking for excuses why her images wouldn't be good and by the end she appeared to have more confidence, was directing the car more, running around, etc. I felt like I watched her gain skills as the video went on. Really nice work. It would be even better if you weren't double handicapped by not knowing the gear, maybe have an hour session (not filmed) ahead of time to get familiar with the equipment. She struggled to change a lens in the first challenge. You struggled with a shutter speed setting that I've never run into as an RX100M7 shooter. Getting familiar with new kit would have helped both of you a little.

  • @bruhdabones
    @bruhdabones 6 месяцев назад +16

    Oof, the Rx100 is a $1200 camera and it CAN do 30” exposures. It’s better than you think! You just needed more time to figure it out. I used to shoot on a $400 point and shoot, and even that did long exposures

  • @MichaelRoninTV
    @MichaelRoninTV 6 месяцев назад +19

    Great video bro, the rx100 is a mad camera. I find I use it a lot more for video than photo. It does take a decent photo but I prefer my A7IV for that.
    Happy I could help out with loaning the camera for the thumbnail too hahah.
    P.S - You can go slower than that with the shutter. You must have had a weird setting on limiting the shutter speed. Mine can go as slow as 30 seconds.
    Cheers!

    My first Sony camera was a Sony RX100V. It is quite capable for its size. It helped me get familiar with the old Sony menu. Later that was useful with the a6600, and then a7III.
    Nice to see that it produces good results in good hands.

    what? min shutter of the Rx100 is 1/8th of a second? I learned photography on a Canon G7X (so the canon equivalent to the Rx100) and did long exposure with that. up to 30 seconds, i think i may even had a bulb mode

  • @JustinSteereMusic
    @JustinSteereMusic 6 месяцев назад +4

    My comment isn't a bash on the camera of choice for the video or the video itself because I understand what the main point of the video is by showing that you can still make great photo's with Amateur photography gear and it was done very well here. But I think it's more amazing that a camera in the $1,600 price range counts as an amateur camera in today's photography market. Most amateur photographers aren't going to be able to or be willing to spend $1,600 on a camera. Also, it wouldn't be wise for an amateur to spend $1,600 on a point and shoot camera if they're planning on upgrading to a better camera in the near future. While this is a great concept for a video to show that you can create great shots with inexpensive gear especially when you have the disadvantage of using a point and shoot camera VS a pro camera. But $1,600 for a point and shoot camera isn't exactly inexpensive. Photography is definitely changing if $1,600 is considered an amateur camera price range.

    The pro photo looked over processed with great composition. The noob image looked to be in better quality but had poor lighting, poorly edited, poor framing. Would of been cool to see the noob use the preset. Great marketing. "Look how bad the noob photos were without the preset, bang, now they're great and you can be great too for a reasonable price of $99.99"

    It's always annoying when someone tells you that: "Bro your camera is so good"!!! No, the camera isn't good or bad, it just conveys what the photographer "sees". Mike, once again you have shown us many years of experience, local knowledge and a trained photographer's eye can make a huge difference! Taking a good photo is only one side of the coin, the other is the post-production of the final image. Even in the analogue era, post-processing was still done, but it was much harder then than it is now. Anyway...do you think that if they had the technology of today they wouldn't have touched the images? Naah...I don't think so...Good content as always Mike! Keep going 🔥
