I'm never sure why people bring up the X100 series cameras in the context of the RX100 series or the Canon G7X. The X100 series cameras are significantly larger and heavier than these sub compacts. It's just in a different category, in my mind. All that said, absolutely great video!!!

[@HarrisonTong]

Equally a good option! However there kind of getting the “TikTok treatment” atm like the X100V did so harder to get good deals imo

[@zroeder]

Yeah totally. I think there just aren't many compelling alternatives in the RX100 size/sensor, so that's the next best thing. Ricoh GR is another of course.

[@tommynguyen8620]

As someone who has owned almost every RX100 model, and now has an X100F and an X100vi on pre-order? Sure, the RX100 is smaller, lighter, and more pocketable, and offers fair image quality. However, the X100 series offers noticeable improvements to image quality, is a significantly more fun camera to use, is a significantly better looking camera to the point of almost being a fashion accessory, and is still very carryable as a daily camera - mine never leaves my neckstrap. Sure, it's not truly "pocketable" - but it doesn't need to be, and I'm willing to deal with that for the advantages it brings.

I have a full frame Sony A7 but I use my RX100 v and vii for all my vacation photos. The v is excellent but I broke down and bought the vii for the 200mm equivalent reach. It is very versatile and has the high end Sony sensor from their high end full frame, but having said that, I think the v has a better result in many situations. They are small enough to take both with me and use the same batteries. For an amateur they cost a lot but so does everything one needs/wants for full frame cameras too. At some point I’ll sell my full frame gear, just don’t feel like hauling it around anymore.

[@EnnTomi1]

what about getting a7c line up? full frame and yet somewhat compact? i am exactly on the same boat.

[@ricoman7981]

@@EnnTomi1 I think my keen photography days are behind me. The RX100 vii will likely be my last camera.

[@boutthere3374]

I bought the RX100vii instead of another lens because I figured the 24-200 was smarter money spent. As I started to use the RX100 it quickly became apparent to me that I hated lugging around my full frame cameras/lenses. Fearing Sony dropping the line I actually bought a second one that my local store got in. I think it's more than likely the camera pendulum will swing back towards smaller is better....especially for social media purposes. In spite of any limitations the RX line is fantastic. Cheers

I wanted to get into concert photography and was debating between the RX100VA vs. the MkVII. I used to own the VA version, but I tried renting out the MkVII for a concert and was blown away by how good the low light still was! Even at 200mm, f4.5, the shots were pretty good, given the sensor size.

[@HarrisonTong]

That’s sweet to hear! That extra bit of range would be fun I’m sure I just can’t bring myself to live with the trade offs

[@rst33079]

As a full frame Nikon z8 shooter, I love my RX100 for travelling. I own the RX100va and the RX100m7. Sometimes I only take the m7, sometimes I take the va or both, depends on the occasion. I was in Brazil recently with my m7. Even though I made many pictures with my iphone at a conference, I used preferably the m7 at concerts, street and touristic places 😊

[@HarrisonTong]

Exactly what I do, full frame most of the time and rx100 when I don’t have my camera on me

[@Kris-sc9oc]

I was looking at getting a m7 as my first ever dedicated camera with the intention to use it on trips/vacations! Do you think it’s worth the investment and will produce better imagines than an iPhone?

[@rst33079]

The Sony M7 has the advantage that she has an optical zoom lens from 24-200mm and a bigger sensor. It also has the advantages on high speed, shooting, like sports or moving objects. The iPhone has the advantage of a lot of software improvements and AI, that can improve The picture. With the M7 you need more knowledge about photography and you have to learn how to use it properly. the iPhone is created for easy-going and sometimes the iPhone photos are better because of all its computing power. So if you want to go with the M7, you have to invest more time for learning it. And then you will be able to make better pictures..

[@studyinthesky]

Thanks. Lovely video… and a lovely, relaxed, authentic presentation style (which really matters). I had two Rx100s.. one first generation…. and an Rx100 iv (which I bought because this model could connect directly to a certain gimbal … ). I found I was using the Rx100 iv as a backup camera to my Sony A7iii and Panasonic LUMIX GX8. It was particularly useful for wide angle shots. But when the pandemic hit… and the UK economy started to go into free fall, I thought I would take pre-emptive action… and I sold them both. I miss them! I really do. I never took a bad shot with either of them. And I always had one with me. Thanks again for the video. Really well-presented!

[@whatsgood001]

I actually just sold my RX100 ii on ebay, I was a little shocked that it went for $400 but that says a lot about how awesome and wanted this little camera is. BUT as awesome as this camera is, I honestly prefer my Lumix LX7 over it which is why I sold my Sony. Compared to my LX7, the only thing I miss about the Sony is the pocketability

It really is a specialized niche for a camera that's pocketable and has no viewfinder and has to compete with phones, which are getting better all the time. And there you also have the Ricoh GR, which is slimmer and lighter weight and has a bigger sensor.

[@HarrisonTong]

[@josiah641]

@@JessicaNeidingHaverly just bought a m6 for concert photography alone, that 200 zoom goes a long way. my smartphone lacks zoom also. however, the ricoh seems like my next move, just not apropriate for myself before the m6

[@JimIBobIJones]

The raw on the RX100 is kinda terrible outside of lightroom. The lens achieves f1.8-2.8 and decent image quality by having an incredibly distorted and warped image, which relies heavily on the in-camera correction/profile to get normal proportions. Other software can't seem to pull the profile from the camera (luminar and capture one) when editing raw images. Which was a massive pain for me as I got fed up with the "pay forever" approach of adobe and have been using luminar on a perpetual licence. In terms of the differences between the camera generations, its a mixed bag. Lenses for M1 and M2 are the same (28-100mm with F1.8-F4.9). Lenses for M3-M5 is the same (24-70mm equiv with F1.8-2.8). Lenses for M6 and M7 are the same (24-200mm equivalent with f2.8-f4.5). M3 onwards use the same image processor (bionz X) M1 and 2 use the older Bionz processor. M4 onwards the sensor is stacked. M1 - M3 does not have a stacked sensor - this is pretty big deal and has quite an impact on dynamic range. M4 also has an improved viewfinder from M3 M5 onwards introduces phase detect. M5 and 6 has the same 315 zone phase detect. M7 bumps this up to 357 with better coverage of the sensor area. M6 and M7 have an improved mechanism for the pop out viewfinder but the same 2.36m dot oled viewfinder used since the m4. Video has iteratively improved per generation. Takeaway is - get M4 or M5 if you want the best low light performance and don't need the telephoto. Get the M7 if you want the best video, autofocus and focal range - but don't need as big an aperture. For background separation/bokeh - its pretty much a tie. You have a wider aperture on the older models but are restricted by the fact that 1.8 is only at the widest focal length and the small 1" sensor. The newer lens has smaller max aperture but its much easier to get Bokeh at longer focal lengths so in most cases you can get more bokeh with the newer cameras. Either way the 1" sensor is a bigger limiter than the aperture. If you want the older models, M5A is the best of the 24-70mm equivalent models (its a slightly updated M5), but if you can get the M4 at a really good price its's worth considering over the M5 as the only difference is the phase detect - and that's only 65% coverage of the sensor so its not a night and day difference.

[@bwest6275]

I’m still using my RX100 mkII simply because: hot shoe. I use it a LOT with OCF and am really bummed the newer gen RX100 omitted the mmi hot shoe. If the hot shoe returns to the RX100 series, I’ll finally upgrade.

[@vladimirkraus1438]

I have got RX100VI but I think RX100V or RX100VA would be better due to its aperture. I would probably sacrifice the longer zoom... But I have one comment regarding the dynamic range. It really is very poor when compared to APS-C or even FF and you have to work really hard with DRO or HDR to solve high-contrast situations. Managing dynamic range in each complicated lighting situation is crucial skill if you have RX100...

[@HarrisonTong]

I’ve found it fine for most situations but if it’s a very high dynamic scene blending would probably be the best way around it. Thanks for watching!

[@vladoh2011]

Yes, dynamic range depends on sensor size.

A pocket-sized camera with APS-C and a viewfinder would be nice, but they will not make it. All APS-C cameras now have interchangeable lenses and are therefore bulkier :/

I bought years ago my RX100M3 for around 550 euros (import) when the local retail price was around 850 euros. I find it a quality product for the footage but the camera I find it quite fragile and I am always protecting the camera in transport. So for me not a camera to put in your pocket, I think it won't survive at all! Just came back from vacation. I had with me: iPhone 14 Pro, Canon PowerShot SX70HS Bridge, DJI Pocket 2 and this RX100M3. I used this RX100M3 for 4 pictures ... In other words, there was no need for this camera together with my other equipment. But as a only camera with you you keep the feeling like you are a photographer! But let's be real: I'm more and more impressed what you can do with a mobile and it is always with you and is much easier to handle than a Sony DCS RX100M3 with a steep learning menu structure and a ridiculous way of storing the files you need on the SD card. That is really absurd how Sony did and why? So it was a very good camera in the past years. I think I would buy now a small Canon version. I'm impressed how fast my newly bought (but introduced in 2019 I think) Canon PowerShot SX70HS bridge camera works in handling and focusing as a vacation photographer! Anyway nice video, kept me busy! 😀

I did get a waterproof housing for the rx100 which works great. It’s amazing having a 200mm lens underwater or for filming surfing.

I’m in the market for a small camera. The price of a used RX100 m5 is similar to that of a ZV1 (original version) - how do they compare do you think?

[@HarrisonTong]

If video is important to you then go ZV1, otherwise RX100M5 due to the EVF. Both would have mostly the same image quality in photo

[@funfunfun18]

Many thanks.

[@MarkSweeting_]

Yup got one in the mk iv

[@HarrisonTong]

How do you enjoy it?

[@lelandfitz1762]

It's just soooooo old. People just were hating on Leica keeping MFT for their new D Lux 8, and this has 1 Inch... With Sony's possibilites, I'd hope they went for APS-C (as Sony won't start with MFT now) in a new model to truly go for Ricoh GRs.

[@pentagramyt417]

The same people bitc..h about M43 and then they buy fullframe with low quality lenses, saying it's no fun to shoot :D

[@BenSussmanpro]

I had this camera & returned it after 1 week. It’s slow to power-on and zoom/focus. You’ll miss the shot unless the camera is already zoomed out. It’s not like having a small mirrorless Sony A7CR with a prime lens, which gets going instantaneously.

[@tappersreviews4677]

This is true but there is a big size and cost difference. A7C series is pretty awesome and I might get one someday.

[@BenSussmanpro]

@@tappersreviews4677 Yes, there are always trade-offs. However you can probably get the A7C 1st edition for around the same price or less than this one, and the 40 mm f/2.5 (which I have) for around $400. Still very portable combo.

[@HarrisonTong]

There is a fast option for the zoom in the settings menu, personally never ran into a situation where I missed a shot because of bootup

[@victorcarmelo8606]

My version one has developed a fault, it switches on by itself, I turn it off and after about a minute come on again, worse when it’s in my pocket, bag etc. have taken battery out and reinserted whilst on, re initialised it but nothing fixes it. So now I take the battery out when not in use, any ideas to fix it please?

[@HarrisonTong]

Really not sure, probably had some liquid ingress

[@victorcarmelo8606]

@@HarrisonTong no, Bag and case dry as a bone. If you google it you will find its not uncommon with all versions and many claim to have this problem but could not find any solutions. Someone pointed to the auto battery saving setting, on my version there is no switch off, only turn on just four settings, 1 to 30 minutes. The camera was bought new when it came out so assume old age, regarding an internal problem.

[@Ham-yj1od]

This SONY camera is stupidly expensive, no way. Just get a Lumix L3 at $60 and it pretty much does the job :/

[@eboytc]

When anyone says a pocketable camera, my mind goes straight to Ricoh GR. Sorry bro

[@leestrz4153]

I dont like pocketable cameras because when i have a camera on me it will never be in my pocket. 😂

[@zptaco]

You cooked with this video, great job

[@HarrisonTong]

Thank you 🙌🏻

[@xhupf]

Great overview, brilliant summary. My wallet does not thank you however! ;)

[@LDN_BOX]

I bought a LX10/15 for that reason

[@HarrisonTong]

Always cool to see people using different solutions!

[@LDN_BOX]

@@HarrisonTong I also have an x-t30 with a 35mm f1.4, 16mm 1.4 and 56mm f1.2 plus the kit 18-55mm f2.8

[@abdxu326]

what about lumix tz60?

[@Baracudus]

Good Video.. but your heavy use of picture transitions with this flashy circle thing is stressful to watch

[@i20010]

I had the 100V, it had terrible image quality at 70mm, I got rid of it, a real disappointment, over hyped camera imo.

[@VictorReviewsGarage]

yeah, what happened to great small cameras like this? they all turned bigger and expensive

[@HarrisonTong]

These cameras thrived before the era of good phone cameras for the everyday person

[@VictorReviewsGarage]

@@HarrisonTong yes sure, but having a dedicated camera is sometimes cooler than a phone. Even if I generally shoot most of my videos on pocket 3 and iphone. I still think small cameras would be great

[@shotbygem]

Dude picture profile and mine shoots like a Fuji

[@HarrisonTong]

I've tried the PP emulations and I have personally found them all to be rubbish

[@carlosvenu]

How did you edit the images?

[@HarrisonTong]

Lightroom :) I have videos on my channel that go over the editing tools I use
