I'll tell you what, I've been a serious photographer since the mid sixties and in all those years, I've never seen a review with so much enthusiasm about a camera ... period. I have a room full of equipment of both today and yesteryear, and I don't have one Sony RX100, of any generation. Based on what I just witnessed here, that is an omission I'll have to correct post haste. Another little tidbit I can take from this, if I ever need someone to sell something for me, you will be my very first choice to do so. Excellent video on several levels and I'm now a sub, I'm looking forward to browsing through your existing catalogue as well as anything that may be forth coming. Cheers!

[@joyoffilming9500]

I can only confirm. BTW, my best selling stock foto was taken on a walk on Fuerteventura Island with my Sony RX100 III which I had with me in my pocket - while my Nikon D810 was in the hotel safe.

[@florenciaesseling]

@@joyoffilming9500wow that’s impressive!

[@KFuzz001]

I agree with you. I can only thank God that Markus isn't doing videos on classic cars or something ... I would go broke very quickly.

[@MrStufletcher]

Can you put a link to the photo please - super curious @@joyoffilming9500

I'm just getting into this field and I'm 56 years old. Been binge watching everything about camera's and you are the most information with consistency, THUMBS UP

[@CriticalTechReviews]

"When she looks really cool and I'm like HOLD IT! I want to take a picture" That has to be the cutest thing I've ever heard. Love your vibe.

[@JeffDavis-tw7of]

This is one I started watching before and the thing that knocked me out is how incredibly focused that is. I've noticed what you mentioned about the backgrounds "seeming" green screen but your lighting is just awesome and you know how to make it beautiful.

[@PatrickJaszewski]

I'm used to seeing the RX100 being used up close and wide on "run and gun" vlog shoots, so it's really cool to see the picture it puts out a little further back and zoomed all the way in. Super impressive! Thanks for continuing to put out such great videos, Markus!

[@olivertruswell]

Love the enthusiasm for camera equipment! Opened my eyes to cameras I never thought about

[@bobstringer1739]

Wow! The Lumix LX10 is amazing -- the image looks like it was taken with a camera costing five times as much ! I love the clarity -- crystal clear !

[@jimmyhankins7487]

So glad I found your channel! Love your videos-even the ones that aren’t full on tutorials are packed with info and your style is so friendly with great examples! I really appreciate all the work and care you put into these.

[@MarkusPix]

Thank you so much!!

[@moneyandbills]

I bought a Sony RX100 Mark 7 a couple of months ago and it's amazing. Perfect for all the photography and video needs for doing KZbin. Thanks for the recommendation! The auto-focus is amazing for doing video. It tracks your eyes and never needs to do an abrupt refocus in the middle of a shoot.

[@JulesVerneReyes]

Always love your videos. No fluff. Straight from the hip reviews yet full of interesting and informative content. And you definitely know your photography. Keep it coming!

[@tooslownotfast]

I just love when the small things are working great. Thank you for also showing cheaper cameras.

[@joyoffilming9500]

My little beast (Sony RX100 VII) arrived just today, ordered after having watched your comparision video with the latest Canon XF-605 professional camcorder. From first video test shots at poor light blew me away. Yes, Swiss Army Knife is the right term.

[@Mafon2]

The slow motion feature is sick and mindbogling ! I remember during one video production cameraman brought bulky expensive camera to get slo-mo and now you can get it from the pocket camera!

[@slaingirlfound]

Hey Markus. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wisdom and insight. I appreciate you! I have learned so much as new subscriber. Happy Filming!!!

[@chantalpique]

I'm so confused by so many cameras, I had to return them so many times, and getting tired by it, but, your show light it up the positive outcome of the Cameras, I love it!

[@CastleCommercialCapital]

Great video, awesome energy. Your enthusiasm for photography jumps thru the screen! People love people who love what they do and your love of photography and cameras shows. Makes me want to be a better videographer. Thanks for doing this.

[@MarkusPix]

Thanks so much!

[@markjsound]

Every one of your videos I watch, the first thing i think is: man, his videos look the best of any video on youtube and maybe anywhere else. The content is awesome too

[@scruffytech]

I am a drone "pilot" and this camera sounds exactly what I am looking for, Real Estate interior shooting and everything else! Awesome and thank you point this one out!

[@drewcain]

Fun video. I've always wondered ow these little things were for everyday use. Thanks for all the good info!

[@KeesKouwenberg]

I have three camera's. Well, more, but three I use. A Canon EOS 5D MkIII for professional shoots, a Fujifilm X-Pro1 for when I go out and know I will take photographs. And then I wanted a small camera I can take with me wherever I go. It had to be good quality, but fit in my pocket easily. So, I got myself a second hand RX100 (mark 1). And it's fabulous, love it. Own it for about a year now, and always have it on me. Image quality is great. I almost always use it for photographes, but also the occasional video I shoot with it comes out great. And it looks cute :)

[@robertbascelli6433]

I've learned more about cameras in 1 week of watching your videos than any other channel. Great work. Keep it up.

[@MarkusPix]

Cool, thanks!

[@angelhernandez6519]

Love your content!! I loved all your lens/camera comparison. Thanks for showing your setup! You have the best videos about pocketable cameras.

[@MileyonDisney]

The Sony RX100vii just exploded on eBay! I've heard about them, but nobody has ever gotten that excited about it or mentioned that many features. Thanks for another great video!

[@MarkusPix]

I barely even touched on all the features, it has so many

[@keen2b]

Shame about low light performance!!!

[@nickj3043]

I have never heard of the lumix lx10 before! I'm now thinking of getting one as a trash cam when ever I want to get a risky shot.

[@shoottosave8117]

Most practical approach to "which camera series" . All your videos talk sense and I love them.

[@lawrencescofield7575]

Always a learning opportunity with you. Thank you for all you do.

[@sooooooooDark]

for such a small camera the quality indeed looks outstandingly good :O

[@michaelsmith697]

It sure is!!!

[@evertking1]

[@kenbest7660]

It is a great camera. Good tips on cheaper alternatives and on shooting to get nice blurry backgrounds. I just recently got a cheap used RX100 M1. It doesn't have a mike jack, viewfinder, Wi-Fi, flippy screen, ND filter, or long range zoom lens or as fast of a lens. But, it's still a great camera that shoots decent video with full manual controls and raw image ability.

[@shortnow]

Thank you for taking the time to explain your recommendations so clearly and in an entertaining manner. Be safe.

[@ikarussterpiploam6239]

I absolutely love watching your videos!! Your energy is transferred through the TV screen, and that's hard to do if you're faking it... However, it's not hard to achieve if it's real?! And you my friend are the REAL DEAL!! Thank you for all you do for us... The information and enthusiasm you convey is priceless!

[@heavylowsounds8106]

Wow..great comparison! Not just another review!

[@kenbee1957]

"Okay, now that THOSE people have gone away....." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnTomasella]

I wonder how many went away lol.

[@dilullr]

I bought the MVII about 6 months ago. As you say, it is FANTASTIC! I use my full frame ILC for serious planned shoots. But for street photography and general walking around, the convenience and quality can't be beat. When I look at my older photos after post processing, I often can't tell the difference between those from my VII and my full frame without going into the properties. Thanks for the interesting way you presented its capabilities.

[@Morgan358_]

Yes I have been a HUGE fan of this camera for years now!

[@221175]

[@StephenHampton_DesignDesk]

So refreshing to see a professional recommending and enjoying low level equipment that us mere morals are likely to purchase. I’m so tired of being told I have to drop $4000 on full frame with lenses to get decent photos. Thank you.

[@DMNKLR_official]

Thanks for yet another helpful and informative video, Markus. This seems like a very useful camera, and I hope that it is. Currently, my best camera is a Canon Powershot SX160is, and well, it's "ok" but hasn't exactly aged well. Thank you for all of the wonderful and informative (also entertaining!) videos you've put out, and the special opportunities you've afforded us as well. I may not have won anything from you yet, but it's also not why I come here. Those opportunities are just a really cool bonus. You've definitely been helping quite a lot of us out, with all of your info, demonstrations, etc., and I'm certain that all of us appreciate it quite a lot. Keep up the great work, and thank you again. :)

I agree completely - I have the Mark I and the Mark VI and the image quality from both is amazing! Great review, I appreciate your enthusiasm and thoroughness, and offering cheaper ’almost as good’ alternatives is the icing on the cake. You run an excellent channel.

[@inmy30s]

so glad there are still reviewers touching PnS and giving practical info.

[@MrEdxwx]

Hello MarkusPix , did you try the pentax q?? its so small and interesting .

[@buda3d2007]

I have one, its good, dont pay alot for it if you want to get one, I got mine from Japan from a second hand seller for a good deal, don't pay the "collectors price" on ebay, its not worth it, fun camera to have.

[@buda3d2007]

q7 - standard zoom is ok, the telezoom is amazing and so is the standard prime, I have the fisheye but its not worth having.

[@masterpiecetools131]

I have 2 Qs. For a while the original bodies, the classic ones, were for sale on amazon for $105. It is a super camera, and there is a guy who has a great series on KZbin describing them. However: No mic input, it is a small res sensor, due to space. I love it, but I can see why there might be other choices.

[@masterpiecetools131]

One of the appeals for me was that I have a lot of Pentax lenses. And there are a lot of other weird adaptor for the Q. So it is fun. Of course when using the regular lenses, it ruins the form factor, I use the standard lens for snaps. I used to own a Minox, and always thought the Pentax 110 would be fun (I use some of those lenses on the Q).

[@masterpiecetools131]

The cool thing is if you use regular lenses on the Q they are twice as powerful, so my 210mm is a 420mm equivalent.

[@DarkPa1adin]

Finally, a reviewer that bashes zv1 and favours RX100 mk7

[@kombizz]

Indeed I met this young man in heart virtually today. For sure his info is more practical and relevant to his fast pace life.

Been watching your videos for a little while. Very nice review. Comparisons were great. Good to see multiple comparisons and options for on the go pocket cams. Again, great review.

You're a hoot man! I watched til the end, but I don't want any free stuff.

[@rogerp7030]

Thanks for the recommendations for alternative cameras. I've always wanted the RX100 but it's just too expensive for occasional use. I'll probably be getting the Canon Sx740 to replace my very old Olympus Stylus Tough 6000

[@deadendkid1968]

local camera places were selling them for $400...Wolfes in Topeka may still have some...

lol I am replacing my rx100 with olympus tough. I dropped my rx100 and it stopped working. As I am hiking a lot, cycling, traveling, I find sony to be too sensitive to be obtainable

[@pls.protect.free.speechuns5528]

I have to admit, I am always surprised how good the photos from Olympus tough cameras are

[@andywt8460]

@@umapuma way to go with the Olympus tough, I have really beat up T2 was my work camera for onsite engineering stuff before I retired, damaged case, even dunked in oil, still works fine, f2, image stability, gps, great pics and 1080p vid only down side poor audio and no ex mic, retired it now for vid as audio become distorted, iPhone 4s now for vid, don’t knock old equip, good enough is good enough. Next an action cam for everything, I travel hard so stuff has to be tough.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

The beating heart of this excellent camera is the 1" sensor. For the last 3 years I've used it in the RX10 (M3, then M4), and all I can say is quote my retoucher (I'm not good enough at it, so she handles this task), a top professional who's working for major brands in the luxury and fashion world : "All images very well done, nice pictures, well done technically, not much color/exposure correction to do... [etc.]". All cameras designed around this sensor can't go wrong, especially with the last BSI-CMOS generation. I can't wait for the M5 ! Of course the RX10 is way bigger, but it allows more things towards the professional end of the spectrum, and that's what I use it for. But I'm starting to consider adding a lighter/smaller camera, for "emergencies" or 2nd angle option, and your demo could seize my choice. Thank you !

Well that is me decided after a long time for Wild Camping Videos, the Sony RX100 Vii. I'm in UK and I have never taken a handout from anyone. The rule I work by is I save up, using hard earned cash I'm going to use the tool. Things that are free, very rarely have value to the person, and therefore they never get the best out of it. Now with that out of the way; I have subscribed, liked and can honestly state, I love your way of putting things across and really appreciate you taking the time to produce such videos with great advice for us all.

Thank you for putting this info out in THIS WAY. I have spent so much ATTEMPTING TO dongle the hell out of tech I don't think breathes the same air as anything I need only to find myself never able to throw in for the right camera right now and it's not because I can't budget or wait or I don't value a good investment, I just couldn't decode which camera was just going to show me the picture I wanted to see for on the go inspired content that I either can't find in the haystack of my Google photos cloud or don't have the mental strength to help the digital media take the 4 trains 2 buses a taxi and still have to jog three blocks to reach my editing software, by that time, the vision of my smoothly weaved presentation looks like what they served at the culmination of the summer cooking class at the local community center where, and this is not a judgement the way it sounds but a statement about the fact that I want people to want to join the next class because retired school teacher Gloria knocked everyone's socks off when not only did her blueberry cobbler create some real buzz, but everyone who followed along nailed the recipe in their own kitchen because they didn't have to wade through crazy conversations with animals in the room instead of the person looking to learn something new they could actually use or figure out if they are missing an important step while trying to guess when to stop fast forwarding because the already bad lighting was made worse by profuse apologies about why you will just have to take her word for the fact that those berries are bright purple, and that crust is so golden and flaky crumbs are jumping everywhere right now only to get to the end of 12 minutes you WILL NEVER GET BACK TO SAY.... and there you have it, my easy 3 step way to bake up your own piece of Americana!!! Do you feel my pain lol? I haven't been able to be confident enough about WHAT CAMERA WOULD NOT DISAPPOINT ME, because those fancy specs are wasted on my skill level...I just wanted blurry trees and the lights on.
