After going through so many KZbin reviews for this camera, this review is easily the best. Didn't feel like skipping any of the video at all. Such a great review.

[@brainyfaceproject]

Ataur-Raziq Gonzalez - Thanks for the feedback. The RX100 M3 is a great vacation camera and it was a lot of fun producing the video - glad you enjoyed it.

[@PeterClaridgeUK]

Was about to comment the same thing, this was the fourth video I watched about this camera, the longest and the only one I watched until the end. I think it was the real life usage that did it. Not sure how I can justify the price tag though!

[@zampination]

Peter Claridge This camera screams buy me! And it's hard to resist...

[@gabbah79]

Ataur-Raziq Gonzalez Totally agree. Watched a ton of reviews of this camera, and this review is by far the best I've seen, at least as far as showing the camera off! Great job!

[@alecx17m]

That's exactly how I felt after watching this! I loved every second of It! Thanks for taking time to do such a thorough review!

[@Jadonk01]

I love how this was a Sony RX100 iii AND Universal Studios review in one

[@fpvdee6049]

Best review of the RX100 mk3 by far. thanks!

[@melanieburley3672]

Debating for ages whether to get this camera or not. BEST REVIEW EVER. Just ordered it, so excited, thank you so much!!!

[@chrislouisonsr676]

Truly a wonderful review. You showcased features that folks would really appreciate. The reason I found your video is so many videos on the RX-100 M3 left me wanting more. Yes, most agree it is an amazing camera. But, they fail to show why they feel that way. Thanks for taking the time.

[@twiglet2214]

Great review - i bought this camera when i went to Cuba for a 30th birthday event and got some great results from it. During lockdown i have reinvigorated my passion for photography and hence filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge by watching lots of youtube stuff. It's so easy to get stuck in auto mode but watching others be more adventurous has inspired me to do the same so thanks for sharing your experience with this lovely camera. One thing that i have purchased which is a bit of a game changer for me is the Sony VCT-SGR1 hand grip which makes handling the camera so much easier ! Thanks for your time.

[@ksotiko1]

2 videos on youtube helped me make up my mind about buying this camera, yours was one of them, thanks for putting the time and effort in

[@mitchcumstein142]

I'm going to echo what some others are saying about this video: It IS the best review of the RK100MK3. Really thorough and has a lot of useful detail here for buyers. Great work!

[@andrevaca6700]

6 years later and I still think this is the best review of the rx100m3. Bought mine recently for $250 (used).

[@laurenchoi2019]

Thanks so much for this review!! I'm going to be in Spain for 3 months next semester and just got this camera. So excited to use it

[@davidng6309]

This video is amazing.Really a in-depth review of the camera.After browsing through a load of video about this camera.This is definitely my 5star rating for a review video like this.

[@Summerwolff]

This was well made, thank you so much!

[@WatchMannik]

I'm definitely getting this camera in the summer.

[@RobertLee-ul6uk]

Great pictures and videos, which illustrates the low-light capabilities on this camera.

[@simmosonic9049]

Fantastic video, thanks. I bought the RX100 MkIII when it first came out, but just started using it for video. So much to learn. This video really helped...

[@amberyma]

Thank you for how in depth your video is when you were giving facts. Also the pictures and videos you showed of the different effects really helps a lot. I was debating if I should get this and your video definitely convinced me, Thanks!

[@frfr335]

Thanks for this very clear, informative and helpful review - it's much appreciated.

[@paulisemonger280]

Great review! Just bought my mark iii and this helped a huge amount.

[@Bazdavies1]

Nice review-best I've seen on this particular subject. Well done and Thanks.

[@markrussell.]

I never should have watched this video, I went and bought one. You did a great job on this!

[@lkking8387]

great review with some impressive sample images & video!

[@dragonfist25]

Thank you for actually showing pictures and videos instead of just sitting there and talking and reading a spec sheet. 👍🏾

[@traceylong9350]

Thank you so much for this review - I have just purchased this camera (literally on Sunday) specifically for Florida and Pandora low light in Animal Kingdom and found this video really useful. To see the different types of pictures and video really helped a lot too. It's an expensive camera for me, especially as I only really need a point and shoot but I've now seen so much more I can try. I will look out for the full review and hope it will have some examples of setting and pictures and video that can be achieved.

[@osunamex]

Very good job explaining!

[@jiminnewcastle]

Excellent review!

[@vinhqngouoc]

Great great review and samples....

[@Blogserius]

[@alfred1985]

I loved your review! Keep them coming!!!!

[@treveenos]

[@ericadams6608]

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing it. I'm awaiting delivery so this really showed it up well. Cheers

[@edwinjansen6729]

Great video, thank you for the time and great explanation of the camera. keep them coming please! :-)

[@sirtakalot]

Wow! Great review! Those were nice shots at Diagon Alley! I was there for the Red Carpet opening ceremony back in June! Few of the actors/actresses showed up. Didn't get to go in though. It was press/invite-only. Took my RX 100 m1. But looks like the RX 100 m3 takes way better pictures in low light. I think I'm sold.

[@el_urod3608]

Well, I’m sold! Def gonna go pick one up.

[@neonyc75]

Great Review !!!! I Just ordered mine ... Thanks

[@brainyfaceproject]

neonyc75 Glad it helped. It's such a great little camera. Enjoy.

[@henrikjuulvetter9731]

Super review, best I ever seen 👍😄

[@zcarenow]

i like this review...shows actually when and how to use the features of this camera.. if you can go into more depth on the features in another vid, that would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

[@CalmPlains]

One of the few videos out there showing real world, consumer features that matter to the sub-pro photographer. The creative modes are a gimmick to some but important to others. This camera could be great for couples where one wants the manual features and the other wants the automatic and creative features. Would be interested in seeing the actual real world uses more in depth! Thanks very much for making this video!

[@dee-deeoverton1300]

This is a really great review. I was thinking of waiting on the MKIV but I haven't seen much information about it. Have heard or read anything about specs or release dates? Once again awesome video!!!

[@janusztriks]

Awesome I really enjoyed to watch your review. Could you please tell me something about the rolling shutter and stabilisation in video mode. Thank you great review.

[@BigAL8500]

Wow...fantastic review! I'm not saying anything that others haven't already but the real world usage of this review puts it so far ahead of everything else on KZbin. I'm currently looking at this and the soon to be released Panasonic LX100. Do you have any plans to review the Panasonic? I would love to get your take on both cameras in a comparison.

[@PaulRybicki83]

Thank you for the awesome review. I have a sony nex 5n right now but was looking for something more pocketable for when my baby is born in December. After watching this review I think this is the camera I'm gonna go with. Hopefully the price drops a little before Christmas too. Thanks again

[@brainyfaceproject]

Pawel Rybicki Thank you. The RX100 M3 will be a great camera for family videos and you'll be able to capture lots of great low light footage when your baby is born. Congrats in advance

[@Cerebrum72]

woww thank you very much for Your review. Very Informativ. I just orderd one RX1oo MIII and I look forward to recive it. Thnx :-)

[@RudyVII7]

Loved the review man awesome job! new subscriber.

[@brainyfaceproject]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the sub!

[@johnwellis9971]

I just bought the RX100v and your video helped me understand the capabilities of this amazing little camera. Could you please tell me what software program you used to get the smooth and beautiful "Ken Burns" effect? Thanks for sharing

[@theleastcomplicated]

Nice review. Just purchased this camera for vlogging and I am SUPER impressed. Some focus issues, so you have to learn how the camera behaves, but that's true with a lot of cameras. Read someone saying the best camera you have is the one you have with you, couldn't be more true. I love my 5d mark iii with the EF 50m f/1.2L lens, but it's a pain in the butt, and a lot of money to carry around, and you certainly can't do selfie videos and vlog with it...

[@brainyfaceproject]

Hi - thanks. I imagine you've got your hands full with the twins, so the RX100 is perfect for 'run and gun' shooting and vllogging...much easier to carry than the awesome 5d mark iii!

[@GameSubster]

This was awesome I just won this on an eBay auction so amped to get it.

[@jnktews]

This is terrific, thank you! How cool is that Dragon?!

[@Spacemanwho1]

Really great review, I am torn between this and the panasonic Lumix gm5. Any plans on getting that camera in for a review?

[@rondre3]

Great review of this camera and very well put together. I am renting this camera for a three week trip to Italy. I did not want to use my bulky multi-lens camera requiring a backpack full of lenses, I wanted something I can just stick in my pocket and have it out of the way when not in use. I was planning on relying on just my iPhone 5s but then decided I needed something a bit more as I didn't want to have any regrets. After watching and seeing your examples I feel I made the right choice. Thank you.

[@brainyfaceproject]

Andre Johnson I hope the camera works out well. It really is the ultimate vacation camera... I use my iPhone 5S quite a bit for photographs, too...but the RX100 M3 starts up fast and is so much fun to use. Enjoy your vacation in Italy!

[@FurthurUse]

checked out about 10 in depth reviews. this was the best one you got into the camera best and answered most of my concerns and curious thoughts. i did hear from a couple of the videos that the auto focus was laggy or very slow in some close up shots with video mode where the focus sometimes didn't not detect the face of someone right in front of the lens at times. Do you have this issue? thanks alot.

[@Steelergeek69]

Making it easier to buy this camera,thanks

[@brainyfaceproject]

My pleasure

[@ClitKillerCommando]

Fantastic review !!! Thanks man... I wanna buy this one but im a noob man...

[@brainyfaceproject]

The great thing about the RX100 is how easy it is to use in auto modes, but also how deep you can get (really deep) in customization and settings. But man there sure are a lot of menu options to sort through!

[@lmmortanJoe]

How is the camera's microphone? is it decent enough to handle a concert? I'm trying to figure out if I should pair the camera with a Zoom H4N (sucks it doesn't have a mount like the m2) or record through it's native microphone... I'd really appreciate your input, thank you for your time.

[@65WZ]

Thanks for the review.. May I ask, what camera and lens did you use to make this video (in your studio)? Thanks.

[@Steelergeek69]

i Have a A6000 and was at Disneyland ,Ca and it was a pain changing lens,being careful with dust getting into the sensor,and worrying of getting banged on the extreme rides. so I'm thinking of exchanging it for the Rx100 iii. Hope i don't regret it. also can't see me buying a nice lens for my a6000 ,like a ziess(prime)out of my budget.

[@silenthunterpty]

Thanks for your reply. Yes I did finally figure that out. It is a the file but showing up on my computer as a MP4 file. I did find a great editing program Cyberlink PowerDirector13 that does have the production editing in XAVC S and can produce at 60p50m.. All good now.. By your experience do you feel the XAVC S is better than AVCHD 60p? Thanks for your help

[@silenthunterpty]

Hello yes this is one of the best video presentations I have seen on the RX 100M3.. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I have a question I just purchased one for Christmas and I am mostly a video person. I have set up the camera in Auto Program ( P) and shooting with the new XAVC S format. 60p 50m.. When I play back the clips on the computer for editing the frames are MP4 format.. and not in XAVC S 50m.. Is this suppose to be in a MP4 format? ..I would not think so! In AVCHD format there is not a problem.. What am I doing wrong, or not understanding? Thanks

[@aslan40400]

Amaaaaaazing review thank u thank u sooo much .Now I completely convinced with it ...The review itself as amazing as harry botter .

[@brainyfaceproject]

Salah Eddin Thanks. It was a lot of fun at Universal and it was fun sharing the pictures and videos with people curious about the image quality.

[@aslan40400]

Exactly👍

[@74Apollo74]

I can't tell if you have a screen protector on. Do you?

[@rha1978]

Hello, Thank you for your video, I have watched it several times. I got MY camera yesterday, and I found many picture add on like only red, blue and green, and play mode and illustrations, black /white, but I can not find 0the function that you used on the Dragon, Florissant blue.. That was just amazing, I want to do that to.. Make things fluorisent blue.. Is that Don on/in you're camera or post on your mac/pc..?

[@brainyfaceproject]

Ronny Andresen I created the high dynamic range photo of the dragon by taking three bracketing shots in the camera at varying exposure levels of 1EV; then I took the three photos into Photomatix and processed them.

[@ZEbelgiumfreak]

Awesome samples! And loved the review! I'm planning to buy one but I'm not sure yet if I should get the M1, the M2 or the M3. I love taking pictures but it would be my first camera. Of course, considering the fact that the M3 is quite expensive, it would be a purchase that should last at least five to ten years... Any advice on wich one I should buy?

[@brainyfaceproject]

The zoom on the M2 is better than the M3, but the viewfinder, codec and menu system are great on the M3. If you are just buying for pictures, the M2 is a great choice, as long as you don't need the viewfinder. If you will shoot lots of video, the M3 has more for you.

[@ulus2109]

Im not sure if i should get m3 or m4, i dont think i would use the 4k, since i dont have a 4k video. As long as the 1080p is clean then im fine.

[@kentxx12]

What do you mean? 4K VCR? 4K will still be better on a 1080p screen anyway ;)

[@shareurtube]

Hi Michael The video was so cool and the features found on this camera is just out of this world. I know theRX 100's are expensive but you wouldn't believe the number of professionals that use this camera. Watching you taking videos is just way to cool. Did you use a tripod and the zooms were they done with the camera or post editing? The professional effect was outstanding. Got to start saving up my nickels and dimes to get one. Now how long is it till Christmas?

[@brainyfaceproject]

Hi Ron, thanks much for the kind words. I didn't use a tripod. All the video was handheld. The zooms were all with camera, not in post while editing. No grading on the video, either.

[@shareurtube]

Hi Michael They can say what they want about the RX 100 mk III price but you proved that that the camera is worth every cent. Its on my wish list.

[@rha1978]

I em traveling to Rejkjavik(Island) 27 of september with my rx100 m3.. So if you want I can show you my pictures from the trip.. I em a amatour , so that could be interesting he he

[@godzuks]

Fandanadoobie !!!

[@hydroop]

you can get even better video when you turn down contrast, sharpness and saturation. Makes for better Dynamic Range! Also, the Active Stabilization is apparently quite good, but crops in to 28mm instead of 24mm - but i think for handheld video its worth it! www.eoshd.com/comments/topic/1955-sony-rx100-getting-the-best-video-out-of-it/ And just look at what Brandon Li did the the RX100 MK2 vimeo.com/88224399

[@brainyfaceproject]

Thanks for sharing these links. Good info.

[@Alyxir]

Don't find that this is is a critical review, but more of a sales pitch.

[@sovu9399]

Hi! which program did you use to edit HDR shots?
