firstly i watched it all :D, now my issue is that i want to buy this camera the last 2 years but it costs 1000 euro, i have the money....but since i have 2 other full frames for jobs i cant justify so much money on this, with that money i can buy an a7c to have a third angle, 1 out of 5 jobs need that that's why i haven't got yet a 3rd body.... now you will say dude just buy it for you, not for job, that's what i did with the xt30, and when i realized i didn't use it much i sold it .... and lost some money, not much but you know... so my fear is that i will not like it much or use it... damn that thought makes me crazy....cause i want it haha......all i m saying is that i hate that i have for example the a7iv with the 35-150 that cant take it always with me, but i know its capabilities.... before i do this as a job i wouldn't care and film everythign with a camcorder, i hate you technology xD no idea if anyone understands what i m saying but i had to say it somewhere :D nice video btw mate :)
Thanks! I totally get it, thats why it took me two years to pull the trigger! 😂 for me i realized the benefits of the RX100 VII for just capturing random video clips when im out & about on the current travel doc im working on. I just needed something small & capable that wouldnt weigh me down when im out focusing on street photography. I know im gonna dumb down the 4K footage and make it look like 8mm or whatever so i dont care about the lowlight capabilities or dynamic range as much. As a professional tool, this is not gonna cut, we all know that. But as just a camera where no one needs to know what your videos were shot on, its a no brainer to me. 🙌🏼
@@JustinPhillip damn thats exactly my thoughts.... i almost bought an fp when you bought but was afraid ...now maybe its the time to listen my heart and not my mind :D, good day mate :D
Given that Sony probably isn't going to make a successor to this camera anytime soon if at all (the ZV1 line is content-creator not photographer focused) then at worst I think you can resell it for close to what you paid if it doesn't work for you.
@@NickAndTech i bought the zv1 and i returned it .. i didn't like the zoom range and yeah probably no brand will ever make a type of point and shoot camera like that
Same. I wish camcorders was released one more time and the RX100 is updated for 2024 and beyond. I'd like to have a point and shoot that'll replace my phone in quality, but not in portability.
I don't think they forgot about it. It still sells well and they produce it without having to invest in any R&D. The competition is basically dead. The only zoom lens competitor is Leica D-Lux 8. Leica also sold the 7 model for years and it sold well. Leica D-Lux 8 costs 1.600 but has a bigger sensor than the Sony. That's basically it in this market segment. Sony just does not see a need for an update. Leica basically only changed the UI and gave it a facelift. Same lens and almost same sensor. I think as long as Sony sees it sells they won't change a thing.
They also forgot about the RX10 MKIV which was a terrific bit of kit with a 24 -600mm zoom. It just seems like Sony decided to stop developing the higher end bridge camera market. I'd love to see either camera with the updated menu and autofocus.
I'm barely an amateur as far as cameras go and I followed the herd a few years back and bought the A73...then picked up the A7s3 and when it came time for yet another lens I happened to spot the RX100vii and I figured the rx100vii 24-200mm was money better spent vs a single lens. As I started to use the RX100 I started to realize I preferred taking the RX vs the larger heavier gear. I also preferred the cheaper SD cards, smaller file sizes and everything fits in a small waterproof case which works for me in the boats. I became so hooked on this little camera that I recently picked up a second one due to fearing Sony might be discontinuing the RX line. For my use I wish I had of bought the RX100 first because it would have saved me a bundle of money in spite of its limitations. Hope Sony keep this line going. enjoyed the vid.
@@boutthere3374 Yes, Sony also says smartphone cameras will soon produce better images than DSLR cameras, and this is why they focus only on high-end system cameras. In the end, the consumers have voted, and we lose due to low sales. The really sad part is that everybody else, like Canon, Nikon, etc., is doing the same thing.
My Camera bag has a Sony a6500 that I bought a long time ago and will never give it up. It takes great photos and great videos that "I" need. I have other gear, but this one always goes with me, because I never know the circumstances of where I will be. This is great advice for any photographer and videographer !
@@jbdh6510 helps with sorting, finding the location again to get other images, remind you where you were when the photo was taken, share with people who want photos of a specific location, fits in the exif file so it doesn't take extra storage space
the sony body is made like a champ man, I have my Mk3 for nearly a decade now and it got dropped to hard floor and asphalt many times, one of them on the exact same location as yours did and they survived, that little bent metal on the right side of the wheel actually manage to protect the wheel well it still rotates and function great. they have a great built from version and I'm glad they keep it that way to VII!
I purchased the first version of this camera when it came out, I am amazed at the photos that I took with it. I upgraded to a sony A6000 with a few lenses, great camera and later traded that up to a newer version. My problems is that I dont take it out unless I plan a photo trip, and I dont really like lugging it around on vacations or weekend adventure trips either. The rx100 was so convenient to have with you due to its size , I may grab another one
I hated using my iPhone for photos until I upgraded to a 16 pro max with its dedicated shutter button. No more having to unlock first and hunt for the camera app, just a quick press of the shutter button to activate the camera and another press to take the photo. The pics out of the 16 are pretty good.
thanks for this video, its extremely relevant and up to date! Helped me decide to get the rx100 vii just a wekk ago! Can you also show us how you set up the camera/picture profile or maybe edit your photos to look like they were shot with a "fujifilm" aesthetic, I really love the photos you took on your rx100!
Fun video. Watched it all the way through despite the fact I am NOT looking for a pocketable camera. I will say though that I was impressed with the HLG profile coming out of the RX100 VII. I used to try shooting S-LOG 2 / s.gamut on my a6500, and that was some pretty rough footage (the a6500 did NOT have HLG profile in it, so it was either shooting in Cine4 or S-LOG 2 or just the Portrait creative style.
I love the rx line so much I bought a second one in case Sony discontinues the model, it just works well in good light. So small its always in my shirt pocket for a happenstance moment
I regret selling my RX100 IV more and more! Such a great camera for size and price. It’s as expensive today as when I sold 2+ years ago. Great video. So happy to have found your channel 👍
My nice camera is an a6400, but I recently picked up a Pentax Q-s1(along with the q1 and q2 lenses) as an edc camera, and I love it! The tiny q1 prime stays on it, and it is ITTY bitty!
I carry my Sony RX100MVII with me basically everywhere. I love bringing it to concerts especially. Having my own well-shot keepsakes is awesome. Could I use a smartphone? Yeah, am I as happy with the results, no.
Sony shook up the compact camera game and just like the avatar disappeared when the world needed them the most. 2012-2019 was quite a time for them. These cameras sre starting to get popular again and such their prices in second hand markets going up on all models 😂.
Is it wrapped in some kind of leather like body cover? I see the link to the grip but i'm talking about the rest of the body. Is this DYI or you can buy it somewhere?
Nice review/vid! Apparently Matthias Burling absolutely hates the rx cams due to the fact that the battery discharges even when it’s off, many electronics do…but travel cameras shouldn’t. I wonder if the mk7 has a better battery than the earlier versions. For video and stalker style street photography this is the best compact for sure. I’d hesitate when it comes to landscape photography which is were the canon g1x iii with an apsc size sensor is better (and not much bigger as a camera) but for every other category Sony is a winner minus battery if I’m right…
Love your videos. So much i bought the Sigma FP. Put a leica on it, just as portable, superior video, good photos, plenty crop room.... 87 F bombs, no coffee needed😊
Hi ! Is it normal in these types of cameras that the lens feels a little loose when fully extended? I have one recently and I feel like the lens has a slight play or movement that doesn't affect the photograph.
I love pocket cameras way better than phone cameras. I have 3 pocket Canon cameras: SX200 IS(2009), SX620 HS(2016) and SX740 HS(2018). And this cameras in this video is awesome))
Hey, engaging video 👌🏻 What do you recommend , Fuji xt5 or Sony vii? 1. I won't be using it for any professional shoots/studio settings. 2. I am really looking for great color representation out of the camera at 8 bit. I won't be editing them coz I'll be traveling and have no laptop with me. 3. I will sometimes use it for photogrammetry. So the ability to lock exposure and focus are crucial. 4. Though point 3 favours high pixel count images, it's not a priority since point 3 is a less important use case. A more important use case is travel pics. Thank you
Just discovered your channel. Excellent stuff man. Was just wondering if you would recommend HLG + LUT + Adjustment on the ZV1 (since it's basically a video centric rx100vii and also 8 but). Was just wondering since it seems like shooting SLOG on 8 but compact is futile. Many thanks for reading. Have a great day
I have never taken a photo with my cellphone on purpose and I held out for the longest with my "dumb" phone and only forcefully converted when I had to use one in order to use bank services. As for compact cameras.. I can only tolerate them if they have a viewfinder.
My wish for the RX100 VII is for it to have a slightly bigger body with at least a micro four thirds but the same functionality, speed and zoom range as the Mark VII but also bigger battery and better processing. But I'm pretty sure they'll just update the camera to a better, more sensitive 1 incher with say Exmor-T. But I don't care for vlogging. I just want a small hybrid shooter with good battery life and picture quality for years to come. It's supposed to be an all rounder after all.
Not sure how I got here. But hell, you're pretty hilarious. Well, at least different from the rest of the camera review (can I call it that?) channels.
I'd save up for this if I wasn't so damn clumsy! So I'm thinking of just getting the OM System TG-7 instead. It's definitely not the best camera out there. But I think it'll be good enough for me and at least I know I won't break it in the first week already
Heck yeah, however just a reminder, this RX100 fell out my pocket while riding my bike, smacked on the pavement and it came out without any serious damage 🤘🏼
@@JustinPhillip ok that's some pretty sturdy build quality! But can it keep shooting when you're attending a peaceful protest and the cops bring out the water cannon? 😏
Well I was looking something in my pocket with a good zoom for the nature and urban shooting, and was thinking of Samsung s23/24 ultra, but then i saw this video, and now I'm confused, of course optical zoom is way ahead of digital, but would like to see how this sony hold the motion i mean stabilization... but I just love tgat they creat 30x zoon in pocket size camera , sony naild it , bravo
@@samepeople But the image quality of HX99 isn't quite well especially in low light condition since its sensor size is only 1/2.3". I have both RX100V and HX99, the quality difference in night shots is huge.
I got a better one for you! I went down this same rabbit hole last year while on a cruise and needed quality in my pocket. and I purchased the ZV1 because I was use to quality content with my full frame and we have no one inch sensor phones yet here (Actually Sony does) and that’s basically this with shorter reach and no flash! I loved it but wanted more than what my phone could do at the time! THEN I discovered a unicorn that not a lot of people talk about and that is the CANON G3X 🤯 I don’t even bring my full frame out anymore the G3X paired with my 16 Pro Max I have a powerhouse in my pocket and small bag! But to your point this fits in the pocket and it’s amazing device still to this day when you know how to use it! I sold mine because the IBIS is not good enough and now that iPhones have LOG and the prices is still high on these ZV1 and Mark 7. But to finish this post off I hear SONY is coming out with a new Point and Shoot possible with APS-C to take on FUJI 👀
@@JustinPhillip One minus issue is: exposures over ISO 640 may look unnaturally grainy. One plus point is that flash unit can be 'manipulated' so that it bounces - to give softer results.
Why every major camera manufacturer want to abandon their all in one compact camera and move on to the expensive mirrorless market! There is still a one inch all in one 24-120 mm compact sensor to play with. Imagine a compact with phase detection and facial detection with f1.8 to f2.8 24 to 100 mm pocket compact. It still booming. Look at the sell of rx100 and g7x and g5x series , second hand market is still booming and the price excess first hand already.
Why Sony let the RX line die just doesn’t compute. There is a giant hole between the anxiety brick/IOS, Android smartphone and mirrorless interchange lens cameras which smartphones can’t touch optically nor do you need to carry a bag full of lenses. The RX line is weatherproof and all the way from wide to 600mm. I really don’t get why they don’t continue developing the line just as a technology demonstrator and the rub the faces of the smartphone manufacturers in the spec sheet.
I have been using this camera for the last 8 yrs. I have sold then bought it then sold it then bought it and cannot find a better pocketable camera out there that does vid and photos better then this Currently with mark 5
Someone explain. Why is the Canon G7X Mk II going for $1000. on eBay. I think the TikTok kids are snatching them up. But I love mine for stills. (pocket travel.) 💁🏻♀️
But for those that don't know the basics of photography will get worse results (than a modern smartphone) most of the time using a good pocket camera like a RX100. Blown out sky, blurry slow shutter auto mode pics indoors. Smartphones are simply the best point and shoot camera for the masses. They simply are the best AUTO mode cameras around and they are always on you. I own the RX100M5 , RX10M3 and A6400 w/ 30mm f1.4 and they are great but if I want my wife to get a acceptable picture quickly her phone is the best option.
Great video. If I recall correctly the RX100 m4 and up is 5k downscaled to 4k for video. And Although the 4 and 5(a) has ND, I still use a VND on my m4. The slow-mo is insane on these little cameras too.
🙌🙌😎😎 Good video, good info, I'm using the automatic translation subtitles, so maybe I missed something, but tell me. minute 15:29 why do the colors look so horrible? are you using a yellow or green filter?
I hate all this iPhone push from other creators like it’s a film camera . Having a good camera for a phone is one thing but making movies with it is just I mean it’s whatever but I’m not as excited about 28 days later 2 being shot on iPhone . I was hoping for a a prosumer camera or something .fx3 ,red Komodo , canon c80 ,black magic, etc . Woulda been better I think
Unless it's rx1 mark 2 or any full frame camera that's pocketable, pocket camera is not that all great if you don't want to do a lot of editing. Buying Vivo latest flagship for 1000 USD and u will understand.
@@JustinPhillip i did tons of guitar playing video in remote locations with these. Tbh it’s kinda a handy whenever you ain’t wanna bring big camera but still have a decent results. Plus I like the color out of this way more then those lousy zv-1 or zv-e10
These 1"sensor point and shoot cameras are much better alternative cameras for mobile phones cameras. They are not popular because of the cost... they cost more than canon R100 MILC..... stupid camera companies can't make a point and shoot cameras with 1 sensor and cost around 200$. These cameras never going to catch any market.
I strongly disagree. I have several versions of the RX and numerous other small P&S cameras. They suck compared to any flagship phone for one simple reason. Ease of use. You can whip your phone out and snap pics in just seconds with a double push of the activate button. But to get the most out of a good P&S is by no means easy. They lack easy access to crucial functions, relying on layered menus and lots of studying of the manual. With the RX you land up using it in auto-mode which is no better than your good mobile's auto-mode. Unless you are really really into the camera and know how to move around the menus quickly, and how to get it to do what you want. You are better off using your phone for every day images, and carry a small crop-sensor camera when you want high IQ and that photography-feeling. This is especially true when travelling.
You really don't need a pocket camera if you just need auto. The auto daily camera is already replaced by a smartphone (that's why there is no cheap pocket camera anymore because they were obsolete). This pocket camera is for someone who knows photography and enjoys the process of it but wants a more compact package. Maybe someday if a smartphone can compete with this, this kind of camera will be obsolete too.
@@RizkhyDestatama you miss my point. Due to size constraints inherent in a camera like the RX series, getting to the features that make it stand above a phone camera is a mission. The RX100V for example {my favourite of the series due to its fast lens) is a beast, with an incredible feature-set. But to get to them - well it's a hassle. Adjusting and getting to what you want - it takes time and patience and studying. And don't assume I am a novice. I developed my first roll of film in my grandfather's darkroom in the '70's from my twin-lens reflex Yashica camera. I have hundreds of cameras to choose from - film to mirrorless. But objectively - my flagship-phone can produce similar results with ease. And here is the point: if you want to go out and do "photography" - take a real camera. If you are snapping and seeking a quick-fix - use that thing in your back-pocket. A good phone is insanely good these days. To hold for example a Canon 5D (and I have all of hem) and spend a day out and about taking images - wonderful and immensely satisfying. But I simply do no have the time or patience to dedicate a chunk of my life to make me a competent P&S operator. For any of the many I own. It's a thing - for me. Your experience will of course be different. I always land up regretting the urge that made me grab the P&S, and wished I had something with real controls.
@@TheDesertsweeperthe difference is when you zoom. You're not getting 200mm of reach out of your phone. I shot a reel at a bills game and it went viral with the rx100. I have a 15pro the image isn't close when you factor in the zooming. When you say getting those features is a mission??? You're just setting the exposure triangle lol?
2:31 this one doesn't make sense because you can get into the camera without having to unlock your phone. That's the case with iphones and almost every android.
firstly i watched it all :D,
now my issue is that i want to buy this camera the last 2 years but it costs 1000 euro, i have the money....but since i have 2 other full frames for jobs i cant justify so much money on this, with that money i can buy an a7c to have a third angle, 1 out of 5 jobs need that that's why i haven't got yet a 3rd body.... now you will say dude just buy it for you, not for job, that's what i did with the xt30, and when i realized i didn't use it much i sold it .... and lost some money, not much but you know... so my fear is that i will not like it much or use it... damn that thought makes me crazy....cause i want it haha......all i m saying is that i hate that i have for example the a7iv with the 35-150 that cant take it always with me, but i know its capabilities.... before i do this as a job i wouldn't care and film everythign with a camcorder, i hate you technology xD

OMG the intro
Love your videos. So much i bought the Sigma FP. Put a leica on it, just as portable, superior video, good photos, plenty crop room.... 87 F bombs, no coffee needed😊
😂😂 yeah, fp for the win! Those Leica M to L mount adapters are so slim! 🙌🏼
THIS IS BRILLIANT
Why thank you 🙌🏼
Yo bro.....how do you not have more subscribers. Thanks for the no BS🤙😎🤙
Haha RUclips algorithm hates me!! 😂
@@JustinPhillip I just subscribed.
Hi ! Is it normal in these types of cameras that the lens feels a little loose when fully extended? I have one recently and I feel like the lens has a slight play or movement that doesn't affect the photograph.
Weird, i dont think thats normal
I love pocket cameras way better than phone cameras. I have 3 pocket Canon cameras: SX200 IS(2009), SX620 HS(2016) and SX740 HS(2018). And this cameras in this video is awesome))
nice! thank you!
I'm watching this in 1.5x speed which makes the intro 10x funnier
😂😂
How is the AF? A reviewer on bhphoto said it wasn't that good.
Sony has best AF on the market. Period. This is the same as the a9
Awesome. Love that pop-up viewfinder. I'm sold. Will definitely get it + looks like you can add a lav mic receiver.
Hi, what grip/ case do you use?
They’re listed in the description.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good stuff bro
thank you!
Whats your thoughts about the zv1f ?
seems okay. i mean honestly, you really cant go wrong with a newer sony nowadays.
Hey, engaging video 👌🏻
What do you recommend , Fuji xt5 or Sony vii?
1. I won't be using it for any professional shoots/studio settings.
2. I am really looking for great color representation out of the camera at 8 bit. I won't be editing them coz I'll be traveling and have no laptop with me.
3. I will sometimes use it for photogrammetry. So the ability to lock exposure and focus are crucial.
4. Though point 3 favours high pixel count images, it's not a priority since point 3 is a less important use case. A more important use case is travel pics.
Thank you
if you're shooting jpegs, then fuji all the way. nothing beats those film simulations.
@@JustinPhillip thanks 🙌🏻
I’m waiting Sony to introduce this camera in its ZV1, with RX100VII specs and perhaps few upgrades.
Just discovered your channel. Excellent stuff man. Was just wondering if you would recommend HLG + LUT + Adjustment on the ZV1 (since it's basically a video centric rx100vii and also 8 but). Was just wondering since it seems like shooting SLOG on 8 but compact is futile. Many thanks for reading. Have a great day
Yeah i think that formula would still be better than using log on 8bit. 🙌🏼
I have never taken a photo with my cellphone on purpose and I held out for the longest with my "dumb" phone and only forcefully converted when I had to use one in order to use bank services. As for compact cameras.. I can only tolerate them if they have a viewfinder.
Being trapped in iPhone world myself, i have NEVER been impressed with the iPhone cameras. Definitely once i saw what my sisters Samsung was doing! 😅
My wish for the RX100 VII is for it to have a slightly bigger body with at least a micro four thirds but the same functionality, speed and zoom range as the Mark VII but also bigger battery and better processing. But I'm pretty sure they'll just update the camera to a better, more sensitive 1 incher with say Exmor-T. But I don't care for vlogging. I just want a small hybrid shooter with good battery life and picture quality for years to come. It's supposed to be an all rounder after all.
I think they already did that with the a7C
relating the intro😂👍💀
Liked and subscribed because of this masterpiece 😂
😂 thanks!
What's the case you are using??
The case?
Looks like you have a case that adds grip to the camera? Unless I'm mistaken
@@bdawgsohawt That's an add-on by Sony - not a case. There is a case, but then you can't use the camera.
Which version of HLG was used HLG1, HLG2 or HLG3?
This camera only has one offering of HLG i believe
@@JustinPhillip a ok I have 3 in Sony AX700

@@JustinPhillip just ordered thank you again
Man. Well done.
Thanks!
Appreciate if you can do reviews of the Canon g7x mark 3.
I'd save up for this if I wasn't so damn clumsy! So I'm thinking of just getting the OM System TG-7 instead. It's definitely not the best camera out there. But I think it'll be good enough for me and at least I know I won't break it in the first week already
Heck yeah, however just a reminder, this RX100 fell out my pocket while riding my bike, smacked on the pavement and it came out without any serious damage 🤘🏼
@@JustinPhillip ok that's some pretty sturdy build quality! But can it keep shooting when you're attending a peaceful protest and the cops bring out the water cannon? 😏
Can you please link to the textured skin you have on it?
Im pretty sure it was alpha guard
Well I was looking something in my pocket with a good zoom for the nature and urban shooting, and was thinking of Samsung s23/24 ultra, but then i saw this video, and now I'm confused, of course optical zoom is way ahead of digital, but would like to see how this sony hold the motion i mean stabilization... but I just love tgat they creat 30x zoon in pocket size camera , sony naild it , bravo
Has three diff levels of stabilization. Its really good.
@JustinPhillip oh cool, Thank You!
This one only has 8x zoom, the 30x zoom one is called HX99.
@@phantomxiang ohh , wow Thank You, for telling !
@@samepeople But the image quality of HX99 isn't quite well especially in low light condition since its sensor size is only 1/2.3". I have both RX100V and HX99, the quality difference in night shots is huge.
I hope you can review this against the Zv1
Great video 📸
Thanks!
I got a better one for you! I went down this same rabbit hole last year while on a cruise and needed quality in my pocket. and I purchased the ZV1 because I was use to quality content with my full frame and we have no one inch sensor phones yet here (Actually Sony does) and that’s basically this with shorter reach and no flash! I loved it but wanted more than what my phone could do at the time! THEN I discovered a unicorn that not a lot of people talk about and that is the CANON G3X 🤯 I don’t even bring my full frame out anymore the G3X paired with my 16 Pro Max I have a powerhouse in my pocket and small bag! But to your point this fits in the pocket and it’s amazing device still to this day when you know how to use it! I sold mine because the IBIS is not good enough and now that iPhones have LOG and the prices is still high on these ZV1 and Mark 7. But to finish this post off I hear SONY is coming out with a new Point and Shoot possible with APS-C to take on FUJI 👀
Cant wait!
My preference: Canon G5x mkII. Better handling than slippySony. Practical zoom range. Have it always on me.
I was looking at that one as well
@@JustinPhillip One minus issue is: exposures over ISO 640 may look unnaturally grainy. One plus point is that flash unit can be 'manipulated' so that it bounces - to give softer results.
Why every major camera manufacturer want to abandon their all in one compact camera and move on to the expensive mirrorless market!
There is still a one inch all in one 24-120 mm compact sensor to play with.
Imagine a compact with phase detection and facial detection with f1.8 to f2.8 24 to 100 mm pocket compact.
It still booming.
Look at the sell of rx100 and g7x and g5x series , second hand market is still booming and the price excess first hand already.
i know you have your bias on the intro but uh, theres a setting where you can open the camera from lockscreens, at least on android anyways
The joke is on iphones the face detect fails a lot
Why Sony let the RX line die just doesn’t compute. There is a giant hole between the anxiety brick/IOS, Android smartphone and mirrorless interchange lens cameras which smartphones can’t touch optically nor do you need to carry a bag full of lenses. The RX line is weatherproof and all the way from wide to 600mm. I really don’t get why they don’t continue developing the line just as a technology demonstrator and the rub the faces of the smartphone manufacturers in the spec sheet.
Theres been a resurgence of pocket cams so maybe they’ll drop something new. Downside is they arent partnered with Zeiss anymore
I have been using this camera for the last 8 yrs. I have sold then bought it then sold it then bought it and cannot find a better pocketable camera out there that does vid and photos better then this
Currently with mark 5
Nice!
Hilarious!
Someone explain. Why is the Canon G7X Mk II going for $1000. on eBay.
I think the TikTok kids are snatching them up. But I love mine for stills. (pocket travel.) 💁🏻♀️
yea the entire market for pocket cams is insane all due to tik tok
But for those that don't know the basics of photography will get worse results (than a modern smartphone) most of the time using a good pocket camera like a RX100. Blown out sky, blurry slow shutter auto mode pics indoors. Smartphones are simply the best point and shoot camera for the masses. They simply are the best AUTO mode cameras around and they are always on you.
I own the RX100M5 , RX10M3 and A6400 w/ 30mm f1.4 and they are great but if I want my wife to get a acceptable picture quickly her phone is the best option.
Even in P mode or Full auto? Idk, i’ve handed the RX1 Rii to anyone and the shots look great every time.
Great video. If I recall correctly the RX100 m4 and up is 5k downscaled to 4k for video. And Although the 4 and 5(a) has ND, I still use a VND on my m4. The slow-mo is insane on these little cameras too.
Thanks for the info!
What is VND (What kind of filter are you using?) ? Specifically, the RX100 V records in 5K, not 4k.
@@MonkeyClub I use a K&F Concept VND cost around £25.
since Sony finally woke up and released the RX100 VIII, should I wait?
i didnt' see that announcement
@@JustinPhillip Please accept my apologies... I think it was in my dreams. 😭
But is this pocket camera better than the Vivo X100 Ultra?

Thanks for a good laugh. This is some funny shite 🎉🎉🎉🎉
thanks!

Sorry i dont understand your translation.
Just a touch more profanity and this would've been a masterpiece!

Didn’t want to go into Tarantino territory, I bet. 😅
I hate all this iPhone push from other creators like it’s a film camera . Having a good camera for a phone is one thing but making movies with it is just I mean it’s whatever but I’m not as excited about 28 days later 2 being shot on iPhone . I was hoping for a a prosumer camera or something .fx3 ,red Komodo , canon c80 ,black magic, etc . Woulda been better I think
That's an expensive sh1ts and giggles
🤣 unfortunately that one is, but i think any of em down to the Mark V are solid, definitely a facebook marketplace or mpb item
micro USB 😭 Please please sony, renew it already

Unless it's rx1 mark 2 or any full frame camera that's pocketable, pocket camera is not that all great if you don't want to do a lot of editing. Buying Vivo latest flagship for 1000 USD and u will understand.
Sometimes you just want a toy, a good toy.
Heck this is the only decent camera allowed at most music fest for attendee.
100%
@@JustinPhillip i did tons of guitar playing video in remote locations with these.
Tbh it’s kinda a handy whenever you ain’t wanna bring big camera but still have a decent results.
Plus I like the color out of this way more then those lousy zv-1 or zv-e10
In ProRes you squint much less. I would say noticeably less like non at all.
👌🏼
I require 31 stops of dynamic range always. hard pass bro.
🤣🤣🤣
😂
These 1"sensor point and shoot cameras are much better alternative cameras for mobile phones cameras.
They are not popular because of the cost... they cost more than canon R100 MILC..... stupid camera companies can't make a point and shoot cameras with 1 sensor and cost around 200$.
These cameras never going to catch any market.
Probavly why they stopped. There’s always facebook marketplace tho!
🤣🤣🤣
I strongly disagree. I have several versions of the RX and numerous other small P&S cameras. They suck compared to any flagship phone for one simple reason. Ease of use. You can whip your phone out and snap pics in just seconds with a double push of the activate button. But to get the most out of a good P&S is by no means easy. They lack easy access to crucial functions, relying on layered menus and lots of studying of the manual. With the RX you land up using it in auto-mode which is no better than your good mobile's auto-mode. Unless you are really really into the camera and know how to move around the menus quickly, and how to get it to do what you want. You are better off using your phone for every day images, and carry a small crop-sensor camera when you want high IQ and that photography-feeling. This is especially true when travelling.
mmmmm….agree to disagree. 😆
You really don't need a pocket camera if you just need auto. The auto daily camera is already replaced by a smartphone (that's why there is no cheap pocket camera anymore because they were obsolete). This pocket camera is for someone who knows photography and enjoys the process of it but wants a more compact package. Maybe someday if a smartphone can compete with this, this kind of camera will be obsolete too.
@@RizkhyDestatama you miss my point. Due to size constraints inherent in a camera like the RX series, getting to the features that make it stand above a phone camera is a mission. The RX100V for example {my favourite of the series due to its fast lens) is a beast, with an incredible feature-set. But to get to them - well it's a hassle. Adjusting and getting to what you want - it takes time and patience and studying. And don't assume I am a novice. I developed my first roll of film in my grandfather's darkroom in the '70's from my twin-lens reflex Yashica camera. I have hundreds of cameras to choose from - film to mirrorless. But objectively - my flagship-phone can produce similar results with ease. And here is the point: if you want to go out and do "photography" - take a real camera. If you are snapping and seeking a quick-fix - use that thing in your back-pocket. A good phone is insanely good these days. To hold for example a Canon 5D (and I have all of hem) and spend a day out and about taking images - wonderful and immensely satisfying. But I simply do no have the time or patience to dedicate a chunk of my life to make me a competent P&S operator. For any of the many I own. It's a thing - for me. Your experience will of course be different. I always land up regretting the urge that made me grab the P&S, and wished I had something with real controls.
@@TheDesertsweeperthe difference is when you zoom. You're not getting 200mm of reach out of your phone. I shot a reel at a bills game and it went viral with the rx100. I have a 15pro the image isn't close when you factor in the zooming. When you say getting those features is a mission??? You're just setting the exposure triangle lol?
2:31 this one doesn't make sense because you can get into the camera without having to unlock your phone. That's the case with iphones and almost every android.
The joke is face detect never works when you’re in a hurry.
