finally a review on these cameras talking about photography, not vlogging
Jep!!
Thank you, I'm tired of everyone just focus on the video quality, most of us still want to take more pictures than vlogging.
Thanks. Wanted to showcase a different side to the cameras
I like video though :)
every time i look back at a photo, i wish it was a video :)
canon m50 will be better for you if you want more of that

THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY REVIEW TALKING ABOUT PHOTO. I know vlogging is the new craze but giving the photographers perspective is a good way to stand out from the pack. Great job guys!
Photography needs love too 😊. Thanks for watching
UPDATE: I bought one and it’s an incredibly capable camera. Even at 20x digital hybrid optical/zoom the picture quality is unmatched for a 1 inch sensor. Strongly recommend it!
which one did u get
Thanks man! Finally someone talks about still photography, best comparison of these too!
Best review on the internet ... and photography focused too! I salute you sir 😀
Thank you sir
Outstanding! I much appreciate the detailed attention to the photography aspect of these two cameras. The depth of coverage of both was great. I am now a subscriber!
Thanks, an objective and balanced review. I bought the Canon and agree with the picture quality. I do Plogging (photos of friends, family, etc... and places on my travels) and don't want to carry a ton of equipment. Nice bright, colourful photos with the Canon.
Thank you very much, Bobby. You did an excellent job comparing both cameras. Any of them has some good characteristics better than the other and now I have the opportunity to choose with much better information than before. Thanks again for your help in the process of making the right decision.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for a frank and useful review, the summary was the best I have seen...actually telling us what each cameras strength is. Very rare these days to get people so 'to the point'.
Thanks for watching and your kind words
Excellent review! Exactly the details I'm looking for. Low light shots are a big consideration for me, even with just taking vacation photos. The zoom on the Sony is appealing, but I was leaning toward the Canon because of the fast lens. This seals the deal for Canon. Thanks so much.
Thank you very much. I've been waiting for something like this for months. Thank you for reviewing photography!!!! It's all about video and filming and vlogging these days. Best review I have seen so far between these two cameras. And actually, I Just made my decision on which one to buy. PHOTOGRAPHY!!!! Gald someone remembered it!
Thanks for watching and glad this review helped with the decision.
Been looking for a review that focused on the photography and not on the video quality of these cameras! Great review! Thanks for comparing the two.
great review! I was looking for this for the whole evening !
Such a great review, not overly partial or anything. Thanks a ton
My pleasure. Thanks for the compliment
Thanks for the review!! Very informative.
Most welcome. Thanks for watching
Thank you, that was very useful, especially with the focus on photography.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the information. I am looking at these two and since I am not into video, I think you helped me make my decision.
Glad we could help
Great video. I'm really into stills photography and this told me all I need to know.
Thanks for watching
Makes a pleasant change finding a review not mainly concerned with producing a review.
Awesome review! I am a global traveler who wanted a compact camera to bring with me on my trips. The Canon G5X Mark ii has been just that. Everything you shared during your comparison video is validated by my user experience. I have found jpeg performance right out of my camera amazing in both low light and normal daylight shooting conditions. Macro performance is outstanding as is bokeh. While not an inexpensive p/s camera at $899, the image and build quality plus EVF and zoom focal length made this the choice for me over the G7X iii (more for video vloggers). Keep up the excellent high quality reviews!
Thanks for watching! I prefer it over the G7X as well. Your kind words are very much appreciated.
TECH360.TV my pleasure!
Thanks man. I was beginning to think all reviews of these cameras were just about video. Biggest issue for me is that the Sony is £300 more expensive here in the UK. Need to check them out in the flesh but definitely leaning on the Gx5ii.
Thank you so very much for the review Bobby. I recently bought the Panasonic ZS100 camera for photography, not video. The image quality and build quality are just not up to par on this camera. I am returning it and have been looking at both these exact cameras for consideration as a replacement. Since I only shoot photography and have no need for video or 4k, I could not appreciate your video more. The timing on finding this video could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much for you views on photography, my hobby and passion.
Glad we could help
This is exactly the review we wanted!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching
great review, absolutely agreed even as a RX100 user myself.
Thank you and thanks for watching
This is a very good review from a photography perspective. I'm currently trying to decide which of these 2 to buy. I get what you are saying re, canon colors, faster lens, better bokeh but I still think autofocus trumps it all. Colors can be adjusted in software, 1 stop of aperature will not make a huge difference in bokeh....I'd suggest that the bokeh due to the longer focal length on the sony would equal the bokeh of the canon. The ability to shoot at a lower iso on the canon due to the faster lens......its only 1 stop and noise can be effectively removed in software such as topaz denoise or a myriad of other photo editing software. Therefore, personally I don't see the advantages that the canon has. I guess if you were not willing to process your photos then sure, it might have a slight advantage but anyone who is actually into photography has no issues tweeking a raw file. Focus accuracy however cannot be corrected and an out of focus shot is basically useless. Anyway this is just my personal opinion and I respect that you have a different opinion. I did really enjoy your video!
Gr8 Review! I’ve been on the fence between these two…and while I agree about the Canon vs Sony colors - I prefer canon. But I’m going with the Sony because getting the shot in focus at the decisive moment trumps everything. Plus I have pro FF camera and lenses from both ecosystems and have worked into my workflow how to edit the Sony images to match the Canon
Finally, a review from photography side. Thank you!
Most welcome. Thanks for watching
TECH360.TV thank you from me too - it was the photography element that I had questions about, and you answered them all. Super grateful 👊👍👊
That's the comparison I was looking for, thanks a bunch! Just unfortunate you missed the focus using the G5 in the beginning of the video. Personally, I am a Fuji shooter, but when I got the G5 in my hands, I felt that superior build quality and I am now seriously considering buying it
Thanks for watching
Awesome review - very thorough and I like that you talked about things that I like; I'm not a vlogger! Take care and be safe out there....
i sold my fuji camera and brought g5xii before watching your video, now i feel comfortable to make a good division for my daily photography camera.
i like your point " i don't need 200mm of sony and why sony don't put touch screen" , now is 2019, really don't know why sony still use old monitor.
Ross Curtice cut cost, increase margin :P
THANK YOU. The G5X has caught my attention recently and i cant find reviews about how good it does in terms of photography. You did sir and i cant thank you enough!
Glad the video helped and thanks for watching
Finally found a video for the g5x mkii not about videos! And honestly it’s the best comparison video I’ve seen regarding photography for these two cameras. Thanks for this.
Along with my 6D m ii I was searching for a good compact p&s. I was terribly confused on Sony and Canon. Though I have one old Sony version. Your this very video concludes my decision to go for Canon !! Thanks a lot !!
Thanks for watching and glad we could help you
Thanks for the video. I dislike how most of the videos on cameras right now focus on video. I really needed the photo review.
Thanks for watching
Really decent video and review! Thanks so much for the information and your thoughts! I am just struggling about choosing between these since Sony is really expensive and I have already had a super good mirrorless camera, I may not need my compact camera to be that all perfect!
Excellent comparison. Thanks.
Thanks for a good review. On colours, did you set the Sony to Neutral?
excellent informational presentation. great job.
Thanks for watching
I appreciate your video, real world. Tough decision regarding which one to buy, both nice cameras. Some feedback here...1- Regarding the touch screens they are all hard to see in bright skies so I can never relying on them. 2- Also the shallow depth of field can be achieved by moving back and using the zoom to achieve the shallow depth of foiled. F1.8 vs. 2.8 basically 1-stop. I shot with a 3.5 for 12 years and you learn how to push and control your shutter and iso. The processors are both excellent. 3- Focus sped is a bigger deal to me much more so than the faster lens on the Canon. You can miss way too many shots with out of focus images or not realize this until after you get home. So for me the focus trumps the faster lense. 4- Also regarding color, I believe that becomes a bit of a subjective analysis and in reality post processing can usually achieve whatever desired result you are looking for. 5- I wholeheartedly agree with the hand feel of the small Sony which is not ergonomic. The Canon feels more natural to me. The smaller size of the Sony makes a true pocket camera very convenient and the Cannon is surely small enough for baggy cargo or a small waist belt.
6- If you are traveling I think the overall flexibility of the video and 200 zoom in the Sony deliver options the Canon does not.
7- Operating menus ... in my experience you learn them and they become second nature. But easier is better.
8- Last but not least price. If you spending $900. but wanted a $1200 camera get the $1200 camera you will never look back over $300.
Whichever camera you buy they will both create great images in a very very convent package.
Thank you, I’ve always found canon to be great image quality I’ve always been a fan of canon. Sony colors and stuff aren’t always the best out of the box, but being a point and shoot, I would think most people would want the fast good auto focus to get the shot in focus and take the picture every time. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush... an in focus picture that has slightly off colors is better than missing the moment completely fiddling with the focus or getting a bunch of blurry out of focus pictures. Last vacation I was on I had the EOS M50 and took like 650+ pictures, it nailed the focus every single time if Canon gave better focus on these I would be all over it!
The better focus is the g7x mark III. It's almost exactly the same camera, but better
It took me a few hours, but finally a photography review about these kind of cameras, although I'm searching for the G7X II.
Great comparison, I think I’ll wait for the Canon m3 and hope they improve the focus as I like everything else about it.
Awesome and to the point video, thanks! I'll be picking up the Canon.
Interesting review - I was a faithful Canon G-series user from the original G1 and several others (only the models with fully articulated screens) ending with the G12, now with a Sony RX100.
For me the outstanding autofocus and extra reach swung the decision towards the Sony. But if you want a brighter lens and don't need the extra reach, the GX5 II or the Sony RX100VA are good choices.
In case any viewer is worried by the RX100's lack of grip (as mentioned in the video), you can buy the Sony AGR2 grip for very little money.
It's easy to install and for me that fixed the problem.
Sony AGR2 ...i bought it brand new for only 18$ for my Sony RX100VA.. ;)
Great video. Looking for a good compact camera to take with me everyday. I got down to these two in choice but I mainly take photos early morning or late evening due to work and the Canon 1.8 caught my attention, but review sites mainly tell me the Sony is king always due to video. I only shoot stills and I am used to contrast AF due to my M43 cameras. Really enjoyed your style of review and I think I will order a Canon.
Good choice. Since this review they have also updated the firmware so AF should be better
Good video. I have a question about the Canon G5X II: Why can I zoom (Manuel Mode) it shows 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm to infinity but not 24-120mm...? I would like to see the zoom in 24-120mm. Any way to "fix"this? Thanks
Great review. As a landscape guy with some occasional portrait shots, it really helped cement in my eyes that the Canon was best for my needs. There are obviously usage cases for which the Sony might be better.
Absolutely my take on it as well. The ergonomics, the focal length and aperture and the more pleasing and neutral colours from the Canon make it a good choice for a landscape guys like us.
Thanks for the review. I struggle with the F1.8 vs 2.8 on the Sony. I have a Canon F2.0 now, a very old S95, but I like it. You have discussed, like many have, the Sony focus, being great. The canon, not quite as good, but "OK". I liked that you commented on the Sony 200mm - not really needed in a pocket camera and anyone buying will trade off the F1.8 Canon vs the 200mm of the Sony - but I think I'll go with the Canon and work around the non-instant focus. If Sony had the F1.8, and out to 100mm, (or 200 as it is now), I'd pay the extra and get the Sony. Sure, crank up the ISO but then noise starts to become an issue. I think the 1" sensors will be a major improvement over the S95, and video quality will be better on either camera, so I'm ahead of the game on both these points too.
Thanks for watching. I’m sure Canon will address some of the focusing issues in time.
great summary...thanks
Thanks for watching
Hi, I have not much experience on digital products. Are these cameras' viewfinder give the same quality with the viewfinder on 35mm film camera?
Great review, helped me decide on the Canon.
Thanks! This video convinced me to go to the Canon as I prefer photography over video creation myself. Due to Christmas, prices of the Sony and Canon are equal. Just in doubt whether to go for the G5 or G7 for our hiking adventures where I don't take the D810 with me.
I’m deciding between these 2 cameras
Finally!! and i mean finally!!! a review that focuses solely on the photographic features of two cameras rather than their video capabilities!!!! As a enthusiast photographer i hardly care about all those great video features!!! THANK YOU!!!
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching:)
Did flash get a mention? I think only one has it built in.
Be nice to see a comparison between the G5X mkII and the RX100 VA ... these 2 are the direct comparisons imo.
Awesome video comparing the photo quality.
Thanks for watching.
Had both and settled on the Cannon as I wanted best photo management, rather than video. Plus the Canon menus with touchscreen outdoes the Sony by a long way, as well as having the much better feel in the hand. Can’t understand why Sony do not add a handgrip as standard. Very, very pleased with the Canon G5 X Mkii. Great camera, coupled with the SX740 HS for everyday carry. And this from a long time Panasonic fan.
Someone knows how to take picture when pushing the button instead of releasing it on the Canon G5X Mark II ? I really hope there's some settings I can't see. Who wants the picture to be taken 2sec after the action they want to capture ?
Very much agreed! Great comparison, from the photography standpoint, how would you feel about RX100 MVA vs G5X Mark ii since they offer about the same aperture range, and Sony should still have a better focus system? Thank you!
Hmm good comparison. I think at that point it comes down to what features are more important. Speed, image quality, size etc. I would need to try the Sony to decide but It would be a closer battle between the two
@@TECH360TV Thank you very much for your time indeed! Keep up the great work!
Easily the best review and comparison I've seen. I'm not interested in vlogging or video.
I was leaning the Canon your video has helped me make my decision the G5x ll it is! Thank you.
Thanks for watching
1:15 I don't know where Canon is focusing! I had the same issue with original G7X and I was hoping that Canon give the new G7X & G5X a better and more reliable auto focus capability !
Yes the autofocus system is a big let down on these cameras.
Excellent comparison
Got a new DSLR 90D that shoots 4k. The files were massive and my 'system/ software' was outdated. Got a brand spanking new Powerspec computer and now shoot video in 1080p/30. I shoot landscape and lately have been taking mostly photo's with the old G16 RAW A/P. Pictures are more fun for me than video other than those super zoom pans from miles away which requires the heavy stuff. As I'm getting OLD the compact cameras are really intriguing me. The G16 got me hooked.
One thing I didn't hear mentioned which is something to point out. For those who prefer a faster lens and don't need the 200mm in the Sony...Most of the earlier iterations of the RX100 are still available as new cameras which is why I bought the RX100 VA with the 1.8 to 2.8 equivalent 24-70mm lens and many of the other features of the VII. With Sony's excellent Clear Image Zoom option turned on, it gets out to about 135mm field of view when that might be needed. Oh, and the price points are less too!
True, but the video was based on these two cameras. There are alternatives but then the video becomes quite long ;)
Do any of these point & shoots have “second curtain” or “slow flash synch” settings?
(great review BTW)
Thanks. Need to check on that
谢谢你的信息，对我选择摄影相机很有帮助🙏🙏🙏
thank you for the great reveiew.
Thanks for watching
@@TECH360TV I'm looking for my first mirrorkess camera for photography only, not video and so many people only talk about video & 4K... TY!
This is the review I have been waiting for. I don't give a darn about video..for that I can use my phone. I'm pretty much sold on the Canon here for PHOTOGRAPHY, and I can live with a little slower auto focus etc. My issue is I am a current owner of the Panasonic LX100II. I actually love that camera and I'm almost sure? it will beat both the RX100 and G5XII for pure image quality, low noise, less chromatic aberration that I have seen in many GX5II samples on the net, and creamy bokeh etc. Size wise I don't think it's all that more large than the G5XII Yup no flip screen..so adios to selfies...don't care..However I do like the longer zoom on the G5XII and my issue with the LX100II is, dust on the sensor. My first one I returned as within one day I saw a couple dust spots. So the second one has been great but I have to be SO ultra careful with it...blowing dust off the lens EVERY time I use it..or actually lol, I walk around with a tiny piece of that blue painter's tape, and dab the lens barrel to get any tiny dust it may have off before shutting it off. I wonder if you have tried the LX100II? but..as I say I have to be so careful with it "I am not enjoying using it so much" Image quality though I do think the LX100 is a winner on pure image quality vs the Sony AND Canon? But having to be so careful using it meh??..hence I may get the Canon...GREAT review!!!
Great video mate. I am not a vlogger, I just want to take nice photos. Greetings from Australia, and thanks for your effort.
Thanks for watching
Hey Tech360.TV if you have the chance to get the Sony RX 100 VI for the same price like the Canon G5X Mark II. Which one would you choose? Using as a travel camera and for photography only. Thanks for your help!
Hmm.. for photography we like the Image quality from the Canon better. Speed of course Sony
2:41 May I know what camera and lens are used to shot this portion of the video? The colour is looking so good to my eyes.
EOS R
That 200 is a must, 200mm isn't as far as I thought it would be and it's kinda clutch.
Are any of thrse camera’s a bit sturdy and wetproof
Thanks.. I was hesitant about Sony RX100 vii and Canon G5X II... Finally I decided to purchase the Canon... Thanks again.
Had to subscribe after watching full video🙃
Thanks for watching and subscribing
Same to me! 😅
Awesome... thanks!
No prob
Which one would you recommend for photography Sony RX100 VII or Canon G5X Mark II ?
If you watch the video to the end you will see what my recommendation is
On which camera were the other parts shot with?
Very important and good review. Thanks for remaining neutral throughout the video and for focusing on the strenghts rather than the downsides of each system. Truth be told, if you want everything, and I mean everything, you will end up paying 4000 for a point and shoot and let's be honest, nobody is going to do that, so there will always be compromises to take.
Thanks Kilian for the kind words. You are absolutely right, no company is going to give a point and shoot all the bells and whistles.
That's what i needed to make my decision about which camera should i buy for pictures not videos. Thank you.😊
Thanks. Glad to be of help! :))
Thanks for your awesome video... Please, please, since you lean to the photo side of these cameras, is there any hope you would do a comparison of the G5X II with the Panasonic ZS200 ?
I know, the ZS lacks on lens speed and is may be softer than the Canon one but it's the only 1" compact with that huge 24-360 range and it would be very interesting to see how the 2 compare on image quality for their identical range of 24-120. (As it's the G7X III which is 24-100 whereas the G5X II is 24-120 optical). Thank you...
I heard Sony is so much sharper at 200mm, that it's very close to Panasonic's 360mm. Pana's 250mm model (TZ100) is sharper than 360mm model at least.
Also the 360mm model is even slower starting at f/3.3@24mm.
But TZ200 (has different names in different areas, I mean the 360mm model) is still best in class, longest 1" pocket camera.
So it's a decent option, but Sony is probably better.
Sorry I haven't investigated this more, because I'm going with Canon, and Pana is even farer from what I want.
@@kiisseli1337 Thank you for your reply... Best.
So Sony Rx100 VII doesn’t create that shallow depth of field?
Not as much as the Canon
What would you recommend more Sony Rx100 VA or Canon G5x Mark II? It looks like they have same features but Sony would be cheaper.
What about G1X Mk3 vs Sony RX100 VII?
I sold my RX100 V due to its ergonomics, and one of the options I am considering is Canon G1X mk3 (together with G5X mk2 and Panasonic LX100 mk2)...
Thanks for the review, which would be better for taking photos of Pets, Animals which as you know are always moving in both photo and video? I am thinking the Sony? or any other pocket-able compact camera that anyone could suggest would be great thanks! I read that the Ricoh camera is great but there is no flash and not sure if it will take good shots of Animals.
Sony’s AF is faster so I would go with that.
@@TECH360TV Thank you, that is what I thought but good to have confirmation :)
@@TECH360TV What SD card would you recommend?
Sony Tough Card UHS II 299MB write speed
g5x ii vs rx100 m6 please suggest me which camera should I buy. I use for picture only don't use video. I don't use zoom lens more than 120 mm so I prefer lens and aperture of g5x ii more than rx100 m6 but g5x ii is slow focus and doesn't has PDAF focus. I want PDAF focus on g5x ii lens. I can't decide which camera should I buy for 2 month
The whole review is just about that. Please watch the entire video for the answer
THANK YOU! I really don't care about video and I'm about to buy a G5X mark II. this really helped making the right decision.
Glad this video helped!
For me, top notch AF performance is even more important when working with small viewfinders and screens. I own a mark iii sony, and will keep it for the slightly faster lens. But I hope to acquire the mark vii at some point for the vastly improved focusing ability and zoom range. As far as the color, Sony does give you a tool to adjust the picture profile, if you prefer the cooler look.
Nice review!
For taking photos the G5X MII is really a great camera. And the 4K video is not even that bad.
But if you mainly want to shoot video choose the Sony RX100 VA, I would say. And buy about 5 batteries...
Thanks for watching Marcel and yes invest in Sony Batteries
than I should be lucky to own the Sony RX100VA..?
I think I saw you yesterday noon at Funan with your Blackmagic camera ;)
Yes! Testing it out for a review
Very good review. Thank you for focusing on photography not video. As many of us do.
Most reviewers put the Sony on a pedestal for it’s video capability but I think photography wise Canon has always had the edge on Sony...
Thanks for watching
Thanks. Do you think the Lumix Tz200 still can beat the phone cameras? I'm looking at Pixel 8a and Samsung a55 that has 50 mega pixel
Each of these devices has its own strengths when it comes to photography. It’s capable of capturing high-quality photos and has a good autofocus system. The Lumix TZ200 is a dedicated camera with a ” sensor and a 24-360mm equivalent lens, offering a versatile zoom range. However, its lens quality isn’t very consistent.
Nice review, which brings me to wonder...
Can you change a camera sensor for a better one ? No.
Can you shift colours of a RAW-file picture via a software ? Yes.
Can you change the AF system that's within a specific camera ? No.
Can you tweak the exposure of a RAW-file picture via a software ? Yes.
Can you change the lens of such a camera for one that has less aberrations and distorsion ? No.
Can you use a tripod (or any kind of "stabilizer") when you're about to snap an image ? Yes.
So...
Thanks for watching 👍
You can fine tune the white balance defaults on the sony, so you could decrease the magenta and yellow. The pop up 1 step viewfinder that turns the camera on and off is great for street photography. I added a fake leather $8 camera case. The bottom part with a bulge on the right side adds a grip to the camera. You can tweak the rx100vii to overcome the issues you mention, but you can’t improve the AF performance of the canon.
Canon has issued an update since to help on autofocus from what I understand.
Yes there are tweaks and things you can do, but many buyers of these cameras buy to point and shoot. Some like yourself are very knowledgeable about tweaks and accessories, but I’m comparing out of the box and as is.
@@TECH360TV Thank you - although if someone spends 1200 USD on a RX100M7, I think they may want more than just a point and shoot. I considered the Canon, although I have been shooting Sony in recent years. The Sony AF, especially continuous EyeAF, is a true game-changer and allows me to take photos if perfect focus that was not possible before. I feel the RX100M7 is very expensive, and I am not wealthy, but it is definitely worth the extra cost compared to the Canon. The 1 step EVF instantly on allows me to not miss the moment. These 2 factors are worth the price difference. I sold the RX100 M3 as the pop-up EVF was 2 steps and AF-C was always hunting a little. These features really help me take photos. The phase-detect AF is great, and if I photograph people the eyes are always in focus without having to fiddle with the 4-way controller. Color rendering could have to do also on how Adobe interprets the RAW files, and someone could create an import preset that tweaks the colors. Or use a Neutral color profile, instead of Standard and lower contrast/saturation for JPGs or video
@@TECH360TV even by today (13 december 2022) the canon g5xii has still severe focussing issues, especially when it comes to smaller thing against bright light, i've almost tossed it against a wall many times because i missed the moment with this cam.
other than that i prefer it over the rx100vii, the colors are just way better and the bokeh too.
So I just bought the Canon and borrowed my friends Sony RX100 V. These 2 are almost the same price and I have to say I am surprised at how much better the Canon seems. Honestly I thought I would prefer the Sony (and I wanted to because it is smaller and more pocketable) but the Canon seems superior for pictures almost everywhere.
I have taken photos of plants, night shots, people and my pet tropical frogs and the Sony’s colours always seem way more off compared to the Canon and real life. They often seem so washed out or like there is more over exposure, and the night shots were pretty bad. I’m fairly certain I haven’t used it incorrectly as I am relatively experienced with cameras and photography. The Canon takes a much nicer shot. The Sony does have a quicker auto focus but if the end result is a far more inferior picture then who cares.
I would dispute the build quality claim though. I actually think the Canon feels like a much cheaper product. The pop up viewfinder doesn’t click up anywhere near as nicely, and the ring dial around the lens is very plastic feeling and clunky. I think the Sony feels like a far better finish and something that would stand the test of time.
The touchscreen of the Canon is great, the menus and ‘user friendly’ feel of the Sony is great. Overall though comparing 2 I’d go Canon for sure. I don’t know about the Sony Vi or Vii but the V doesn’t compare for images at all to the G5X ii.
totally agree
This is what I was looking for.
If you would choose betwee these two and Panasonic Lumix tz200?
If you prioritize portability and high-speed performance, you might lean towards the RX100 VII. If you prefer a wider aperture and better handling, G5X Mark II might be your choice. If a longer zoom range is important to you, then the Lumix TZ200 could be the best fit.
Thank U Bobby for the video, finally I made my decision wich camera to choose. But still I'd like to know ur opinion about canon g7x mark iii?
What are you using the camera for
@@TECH360TV I am interested in pictures only, a compact camera for travelling
Ok check out this channel next week
At last, someone is talking about photography!
Thanks for a great review as always. I have the Canon g7x II I’m very happy with. I think you have to mention the price différence because is the most important criteria with 1.200 Euros for Sony and 800 euros for thé Canon
Thanks for watching
Does the canon shoot Raw format ? Great comparison
coming from an ex canon guy... the sony has great dynamic range which wasnt discussed. though its a love and hate relationship i had with it (dynamic range) since i took advantage of hiding clutter on the shadows in the canons, id still choose the sony now.
plus photowise, autofocus and dynamic range is a big thing. colors can be worked on post but AF and dynamic range cant. i still wish canon can push something solid on the table, i kept my batteries but its not looking good
