Tony & Chelsea Northrup Why you guys stop reviewing DJI and would you review GoPro 7? Again In the days we are living, please someone let Sony knows we need 4K 60 fps, stabilized, and touchscreen, well done for the 1” and the articulated screen( but only in for 1’? Is that a joke?) . Sony = Tonto!
This is a great overview with fantastic production value. Thanks for not only telling, but showing the ins and outs of this camera. I've been researching for weeks, and this was very helpful.
I love your style in your presentation. You were able to highlight all the sophisticated features of the camera while remaining humble enough to not loose the layman like myself.
My first gut reaction is this is *almost* the perfect vlogging camera for action sports content creators. It's much more robust, waterproof, and shock resistant than a RX100 and much smaller. I say almost because they really need to get AF-C on this and 4k exporting with IS. Though, if Sony was reading my comment, I'd ask them to take the RX0 body and shove the x3000 internals into it as a prosumer version of an action camera; the RX0 Sport. Wide angle RX0 that has the smaller sensor but OIS + the fancy digital IS if needed. The super long form factor of the X3000 made it annoying for POV because it was always in the way.
Reality is that it suffers serious rolling shutter and when using stabilization it zooms in! Bad AF as well? Trust me a Gopro or even a smartphone could do just as good a job if not better. this camera is not meant to be moving around.
@@robert7622 with the 1" sensor, for sure. What I'm saying is they should take the body and processor of the RX0 and put the optics and sensor of the X3000 in it. Smaller sensor would resolve the rolling shutter, and OIS would take care of most shaking. Having an extra digital IS option would be great for smoothing out the footage a bit more if you'd like. That setup would even have no need for AF, less to process so could run cooler or have more shooting options. This is why I feel they should have two versions. The RX0, and then a RX0 "sport" with different sensor optics made for different use cases.
@@ethaningoa7461 but worse stabiliation... and the one inch sensor is really mostly obvios in low light, and most people dont use action cams in lowlight :)
Once again, a great review of the product. You've got the best reviews of products. I wish I could afford the things you review... Keep up the excellent work.
Very thorough (yet compact) review, excellent production and editing. I have to say the thing i appreciate most is the "grading". There seems to be an obsession with the "log" look among many video folks, with the delusion that muddy and flat somehow looks like "film". I have no idea where that came from. I did not shoot much movie film in my 30 years or so as a photographer before the dawning of the digital age, but I shot a ton of still film and, as said, I am baffled. You do not seem to have fallen into that trap.
What are you talking about? Which trap? There is no trap. Either you didn’t understand the reason to shoot flat, or your sources are rubbish. People who know what they are doing do not shoot flat “because” it looks cinematic, but rather “in order to” make it look cinematic. Which is entirely different. Shooting flat means that you don’t get the processing done in-camera but rather in post (where the “cinematic” look is achieved). It is the analogous equivalent of shooting in raw for low-end video cameras.
OMG WOWOWOW Ladies & Gentlemen This is "THE'" Best review of Sony rxo you wont gona find the excellent review in excellent quality anywhere else and as usual this comment is before watching the video now let me grab my snacks sit back and enjoy the video
Man, this was another top notch review! Great shots, really in-depth look and understanding. I mean, I can appreciate Kai (ex-DigitalREV), but his video on the RX0 II was useless in comparison! Well done!
Fun fact: Sets whether to turn off the monitor automatically after approximately one minute without any operations by the user when recording movies. MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Mon. Off dur REC] → desired setting.
This is a really tempting device - the price though, is a little hard to stomach, and I'm not convinced by the electronic stabilization features. Having to export the footage to a phone app in order to stabilize it seems like a hassle, and from what I see here it doesn't look as good as what the GoPro 7 can do in camera.
Yeah I'm not sure this is $240 better than the FDR3000, I guess you have to ask yourself how bad you need a flip screen because it pretty much does everything this RX0 II does.
I am torn between this camera and now the DJI Action camera. Since you reviewed both cameras then perhaps you can post your comments about the pros and cons of one over the other.
I would like to take one Mountain Biking and see how it does with all the vibrations we get. Also skiing, No one they give cameras to ever tests them in tough conditions!
I really have to say..........Sony seems to be actually listening to their customers these days, and actually taking note of what people are complaining about with previous products. I was thinking about getting an action camera and this could be perfect for what I want it for :)
Seems they have listened to you: 1) There is an option on the new firmware to not shut down the screen after 1:10m, its called Mon. Off dur REC (movie) MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Mon. Off dur REC] → desired setting. 2) Also they have a new option AF-S during movie recording press.sony.se/pressreleases/sony-releases-firmware-update-for-rx0-ii-adding-auto-focus-video-functionality-and-compatibility-with-rmt-p1bt-2951247 3) You can also adjust the brightness of the monitor by "fooling" the camera. Set it to 1080p, adjust brightness to level you want, set it back to 4k or 1080p/120 and put in a memory bank. Thats how I have mine setup.
Nice review! I appreciate someone who knows what they are talking about, knows how to put together a good video, AND has a sense of humor. What more could you ask for?
So, here's the one question I have... Is the stabilization worth its salt if you don't run your workflow through the App? Is there any other way to apply the gyro / accelerometer data to the video? I honestly don't mind the 1080 output, but adding the mobile device app into workflow to get reasonable stabilization may just be a deal breaker. Inquiring minds want to know...
Another top notch review from one ‘underrated’ you tuber ! Intro 10/10 - how other you tubers have millions more subscribers baffles me, so skewed mixed up !
I have v1.0. I use it for stills, as an all-weather travel cam. Quality is surprisingly good. My only real beef is the form factor; it would better wider and thinner.
Sony was so CLOSE of getting pe perfect action camera , but i will still not buy this because : 1. lack of af-c is just STUPID (i saw that all reviewers have more or less out off focus videos with this camera), 2. image stabilization could be way better , 3. lack of touch screen (even my old Yi 4k has touch screen) , 4. small annoying things like the power off screen without the possibility of setting the power off time. Great review iPhonedo !
Super review as always :).. Nice wheels.. (litterally).. I have that model for my "3" - they eagerly await replacing the wintertyres when the sub zero temp drops ceases... can't wait
awesome little camera, I love'd the look of the first one it was just lacking too many features, the only disappointing thing with this one is the lack of AF-c. does anyone know if you can charge it up via usb into the device?
Thanks for the video man, always amazing content. Do you think in making one against GoPro and XDR1000 (Yes I know Sony says that its not a ActionCam but come on ;)) and maybe the S10 and iPhone? That would be awesome. Thanks dude.
Me: I can't wait to go to bed now but let me check RUclips first reaaaalllll quick iPhonedo: *uploads* Me: *screams internally* I JUST WANT TO SLEEP! Granted it's my fault I'm 3 hours late BUT STILL
I tried this camera and the battery life was disappointing. Personally, I don't mind if they double or triple the battery in exchange for weight and size. It would be still smaller than most action cameras. The lack of C-AF didn't bother me at all. The PF mode works very well.
HEY HEY NOW Excellent review I been waiting for a new version of the RXO, I might use this as my third camera...built in 4k30 plus electronic stability great update!!!
I loved this camera i had the RX01 but turned it back in 3 days later because it was overheating within like 10mins of when i turned it on. I sure hope that changed as it sounds like it did. I would buy another one for sure if its in working order. Thanks for the review looks good. Please let me know if you're going to be doing more testing on overheating thanks and have a great day.
the 100 mrs/sec 1" image is much fuller and nice package size. I think the focus is not hitting the eyes well though. This camera pretty killer though and in the near future we are going to be ticked that we spent so much on larger cameras.
Best detailed review so far and I just watched 3 others that barely knew how to work it. Thanks for the good content
Your intro could be an ad for the camera. Amazing ✌️❤️
Extremely underrated RUclipsr.
The music on this one... Original and rocking base!
goforkranthi79 underrated? What? Where? How? He is the only one 😉!
Awesome review! Love the stop motion!

That's how you do a review, with all the important bits clearly explained!
You've got the best intros in the game! Great review that covers all the bases 😀👏
iPhonedo for RUclips Rewind 2019 !!!
Nah, he's better than that trash.
Oh my goodness I’m deleting my video and just telling everyone to watch yours 😂
We like yours too tho!😊😊
Hey Iphonedo! Now I'm glad I've been too broke to buy the RXO mark 1 version!
Great device just price little too high, wish it was $499 not $700.
Wow. Sony is actually charging more than GoPRo for an action-like camera?
@@MrEye4get 1 inch sensor.. more light is let in and thus better quality..
@@ethaningoa7461 My bad, not an action-like camera; more an action vlogger-type camera.
@@ethaningoa7461 but worse stabiliation... and the one inch sensor is really mostly obvios in low light, and most people dont use action cams in lowlight :)
@@froznfire9531 use the companion app for gimbal like stabilization

I agree. Kai's review was pretty poor. I think he must have been pushed for time...
this is a no brainer for me. I almost got the mark one version. thanks for the great review! btw
Did you get it?
Fun fact:
Sets whether to turn off the monitor automatically after approximately one minute without any operations by the user when recording movies.
MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Mon. Off dur REC] → desired setting.
Jason's Chronicles thanks. Considering this camera and not being able to disable auto shutdown would have been a deal breaker.
The amount of effort you put in making a video is unbeatable.
The intros are😍😍😍
Camera looks fantastic, almost as good as your production values, keep up the amazing work
This little camera is sick
I look forward to your videos above all the other channels I subscribe to! -

When I need a review, this is the channel I go to.
Wow, the dynamic range on that thing looks pretty good. The outside looks great while your driving down the road.
That intro stop motion was sick af! Nice work man!
hope they will make a new version of this
Sesiydi görünüsüydü bu işi bu kadar kaliteli yapan görmedim abi sen efsanesin ya.
You are the best !!!
Great camera but not for 700. I guess I’ll be keeping my FDR3000 for a while longer
Yeah I'm not sure this is $240 better than the FDR3000, I guess you have to ask yourself how bad you need a flip screen because it pretty much does everything this RX0 II does.
Why don’t you have a million + subscribers yet 😱 your content is always top notch! 💁🏻♂️
bu görüntü kalitesiyle bu ışıklandırmayla sykik bile kaliteli durur ben daha kaliteli video çeken bir kanal daha görmedim.Seviliyorsun Faruk abi...
I am torn between this camera and now the DJI Action camera. Since you reviewed both cameras then perhaps you can post your comments about the pros and cons of one over the other.
im interested in the same comparison too! you can find the rx0 II for 640 euros and the osmo action for 380 euros....
Holey Moley this thing is perfect for IRL STREAMS
Your Steady Shot explination and demonstration is excellent. Feature I needed for our air to air productions. Thank you and well done!
I would like to take one Mountain Biking and see how it does with all the vibrations we get. Also skiing, No one they give cameras to ever tests them in tough conditions!
the best camera reviewer on planet Earth..
Man you’re production skills is killing everyone on RUclips right now!
OMG the opening line cracks me up so bad.
Looks like a really awesome little action camera
I really have to say..........Sony seems to be actually listening to their customers these days, and actually taking note of what people are complaining about with previous products.
I was thinking about getting an action camera and this could be perfect for what I want it for :)
Seems they have listened to you:
1) There is an option on the new firmware to not shut down the screen after 1:10m, its called Mon. Off dur REC (movie)
MENU → (Camera Settings2) → [Mon. Off dur REC] → desired setting.
2) Also they have a new option AF-S during movie recording
press.sony.se/pressreleases/sony-releases-firmware-update-for-rx0-ii-adding-auto-focus-video-functionality-and-compatibility-with-rmt-p1bt-2951247
3) You can also adjust the brightness of the monitor by "fooling" the camera.
Set it to 1080p, adjust brightness to level you want, set it back to 4k or 1080p/120 and put in a memory bank. Thats how I have mine setup.
What camera did you shoot the intro with? The bokeh is niiiiiiiice.
I am interested in the lens used. The flare indicates that @iphonendo used some Anamorphic lens. I bet on the 50mm Sirui anamorphic lens.
Nice review! I appreciate someone who knows what they are talking about, knows how to put together a good video, AND has a sense of humor. What more could you ask for?
@iphonedo
New firmware update for rx0 ii allows you to refocus by a half press of the shutter whilst recording.
Auto Vlogger’s dream! I WANT!!
The video quality of the intro is out of this world! 🤯
Will probably buy one or two of this for my wedding shoots.
Nice it has a microphone jack unlike my RX100V !
GoPro Hero 7 Black for my money. Thank you for another excellent review.
Of all the reviews online today you’re the only one I would watch and trust. Great video as always
best tech channel
I'm actually pretty impressed.
Ilk kez bu kanala denk geldim ve daha ikinci cümlede Türk aksanı ya bu dedim. Videonun sonundaki "hoşçakalın" konuyu kapattı:-)

good to see you back making videos amigo! nice shot of the observatory in the hollywood hills. takes me back to when i used to live in venice CA :)
your intros are always impressive to me.
if they could fix the overheating and monitor turning off, these would make some killer live streaming cameras
Super review as always :).. Nice wheels.. (litterally).. I have that model for my "3" - they eagerly await replacing the wintertyres when the sub zero temp drops ceases... can't wait
Have you ever posted the equipment you use for your lavaliere mic and transmitter set up?
This guy has the best reviews! Actually all of his videos are awesome :)
Great video! But now I want one more than ever

With the head of imaging taking over the cell phone division does this make you curious to try out a future Sony flagship phone?

Great review and you're always entertaining. This is a great camera, with incredible features...
i wish sony has introduced a proper action camera like dji2 with magnetic mount options.i hope they consider this..
Dude!!! I love your reviews! This would be a great b camera. Totally want it now!
Absolutely adore your presentation man 😍
Love your videos. Super impressive camera. Does it record hlg?
Consistently awesome reviews. Love it.
Another awesome video. Keep up the great work. Also, cool camera!
That new Bionz X processor is really good. Long overdue FDR-X4000 is gonna be great.
Loooks really good
Looks like it has great dynamic range.
Great review..... was looking for this...
