Sony RX0 - Hands-On Review & Sample Video

[@DesynLife]

This is would be great as a second POV camera ... I have a Sony Alpha 6300 .. I would love to use this as a second POV while shooting interviews .... what’s your thoughts

[@chaosyoshi55]

I personally use a Gopro 3+ with a gimbal. I have been dying for an upgrade as I use it for travel where I just document our family travels along with my dslr exclusively for photos. I don't have much use for 4K video but that video quality boost is a must for me. If the EVO GP PRO makes a mount for this Sony camera, I would seriously consider this upgrade seeing that the Hero 6 still has some issues.

[@BikeLifePinas]

go for the SONY FDR-X3000R. in short 4K video with Stabilization. different form factor though. :) do a quick search

[@tosvus]

Depends on use cases. You get a much wider lens with the FDR-X3000R (with somewhat of a fisheye look), the low light shooting isn't quite as good, and I believe slow-mo is not quite as good either. While the stabilization on the 3000 is great, I have seen a couple of examples in reviews where you lose significant detail.

[@rahmatjayamedia9694]

I just want to know what camera did u use to speak on this video...

[@HesselFolkertsma]

Thanks for the review and sample footage. I thought it was a 24mm equivalent lens, instead of 35?

[@StickPrintPaint]

I video while i'm airbrushing and did not like the go pro type footage that is distorted. This is much better but i do need to have it set further back from the work which sometimes is problematic.

[@minnickl]

This camera's been described as an RX-100x in a small package. The RX-100x excels as a great street camera for its size and its lightning-quick focus, among other things. Leaving video aside, how does the RX-0 compare in terms of focus quickness and good high-ISO performance?

[@jjglaser]

Can it do a fisheye effect? If so, it may be worth buying. Also can't find how it can be mounted to a chest mount or head mount. This would not be good for action but good for walking and vlogging.

[@z352kdaf8324]

I don't think so. Who wants fisheye?

[@NicMediaDesign]

I think the Sony FDR X3000 would be better for you.

[@deadendkid1968]

So what about important info...like battery life...does it do continueous recording or does it shut off in a half hour...Id like it for mounting on the right side of keyboards at concerts...once wanted rx100 cams...but they could only do 30 minutes...and heat was also a problem...these parameters should never be left off any review...we all know the quality will be top knotch...its a sony...its got to work out in the field...

[@pinkbecca12]

does it have a zoom option?, if so how good is it?

[@Victorkayak]

How is the sound or mic

[@aaronechols3984]

Is it not 24mm( 35mm equivlant) field of view?

[@morrisgetman9827]

It is, actually a 24mm equiv. lens. 35 is what the equivalent relates to, must have been just a slip of the tongue.

[@roryonabike5863]

Did you shoot your footage with the filter adapter and a neutral density filter? If so, does the adapter/lens hood work well? Thanks.

[@odlanorirom]

video stabilisation?

[@Edge-dy9fh]

You say a couple of times that the Sony has a 35mm equiv. lens. Are you sure about that? Other reviewers are stating 24mm equiv. lens. Anyway thanks for the review and nice to see some actual footage. I think a lot of people are hoping for a second generation with in- camera 4k but I would still prefer this sort of quality image in 1080p than lousy image in 4k.

[@David-hu3zw]

iPhone with gimbal ?

[@BAdventures]

Good review and explaining the target market.

[@haru_takahashi24]

Can it record in 2k?

[@avinashdeoghare3170]

One of my favorite KZbin channel.. Very helpful..

[@SebMellia]

No stabilisation :( Useless for vlogging.

[@chaosyoshi55]

SebMellia hopefully stabilizers keep up soon!

[@SebMellia]

yes, but i prefer my fdr x3000 with optical stabilisation inside ;)

[@hotchi1566]

You can buy gimbal

[@tosvus]

Yes a small gimbal would work well (you need something to hold anyway). I think with that, it would be excellent for vlogging, considering quality, especially low light performance. Also, the review (while very good), did not speak much about the people that want to incorporate slow-mo. I have seen some pretty impressive footage from this thing in that regard. (and again, seems more and more vloggers these days embrace stuff like slow-mo, since they think it is fancy...)

[@SebMellia]

Not agree. A gimbal is expensiv, and generally it s usefull whent it s add with digital stabilisation of camera. The gimbal alone is not perfect. And for vlogging we need battery life. It battery is very small... Only 700mh... :( Th fdr x3000 has a 1250mh battery and optical stabilisation.

[@NicMediaDesign]

Finally someone who gets it is no actioncam.

[@bitspacemusic]

Did you just combine two sentences into one?

[@54Mizery]

Drone camera supreme perhaps ?

[@rubeegeorgealset6412]

1080p video up to 100p ???????

[@cipnt]

Indeed, great camera! Hopefully a firmware upgrade will bring 4k internal recording. Will definitely buy it then

[@josejoselete6156]

I’m one of those professional videographer that was looking for something like this for long time. Unfortunately I’m not buying this product for the following reasons, no 4K and battery life. The kind of professional that needs this product, also needs those features, even if it’s 20-50% bigger the camera will still be small enough to be hide in places for documentary work or weddings, but we need over an hour of continuous recording, most of the stuff we record is around an hour length ( ceremony, conference speaker interviews etc) so you need a battery live and continues recoding for at least 1:15 minutes, so you can start recording 5 minutes before the show and still have a bit left in case the show runs 10 minutes over. otherwise is useless. Wtf Sony you did it again. I guess all that will come on v2 or v3, so they can sell a few more cameras but I’m tired of that game.

[@RageStudios]

by the way good video and great channel, just subbed

[@StefanVenus]

Thanks for this great review!

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Add an Atomos Ninja Star, and maybe the Backbone mod, and it will be ideal as a Crash Cam, especially for films shooting on FS7 or FS5.

[@edsbloggingcom]

I’m sure it has 2k7 or something. With this quality it more than enough

[@Omniat]

Has the HFR function been implemented better than on the rx100?

[@trapromo]

Good FHD with high bitrate is and has always been better then bad 4K with low bitrate . Currently they have not been able to put 4k and high bitrate into such a small package , that day has yet to come. This is important for anyone creating material for jobs with higher budget , however then they useally use a small camera like gh4 or gh5 . I can see this as a nice tool that you have in bag "just in case" . Also could be useful for some broadcast applications where you need to put extra camera in a position that is tricky and you dont want to show that there is a camera, in this case fisheye gopro on TV is a nono . Also crashcam, underwater footage etc .

[@johnw5251]

if it comes with wide angle lenses + OIS that would be perfect

[@albedo0point39]

Version 2 will have stabilisation, next year. Version 3 will have integrated 4k. Wake me up in 2 years.

[@ssaannddrro]

Excellent review.

[@SwattaVII]

Nice work man.

[@Chestermayfire]

WOW i was excited to get this cam for traveling but no 4k and no stabilization!? No thank you

[@morgando2]

Steve Buscemi you remind me of

[@deadendkid1968]

I was in a scene with him in a movie called Kansas City...

[@dcameron7736]

This is going into wedding, events, and corporate video work

[@BigDSProductions]

Agreed. This camera makes zero sense for consumers. The primary user is going to be in the industry. I'd primarily use it for car interior shots. I can have an external recorder hidden away and get 4K. I modified my Hero4 Black with an interchangeable lens Ribcage kit for this exact reason. And it should do a much better image than a standard GoPro.

[@BigDSProductions]

I'd also use it on my motorized slider. I'd still need my GoPro for real action-cam responsibilities that require 4k. It might replace my GoPro for any other tasks I use the GoPro with now. I wonder how rolling shutter is on it?

[@edsbloggingcom]

S-log2 and rx100 in a small package! Bring it on!!!!

[@RageStudios]

no stabilization and not 4K... Sony! what were you thinking!!!

[@z352kdaf8324]

Uhh, like it would overheat in under 3 minutes in a such a form factor and melt?

[@z352kdaf8324]

And 4k video out of 700mAh battery would be like max 15-20 minutes anyways? At least that'd give you something else to bitch about.

[@EdLovesAllie]

I'm looking to strictly film slow motion videos of destroying stuff, maybe punch a friend in the face, I want something that is easily uploaded to the internet, any suggestions?

[@issambalushi9315]

No 4k is not a problem but What I don't understand is the price.

[@edsbloggingcom]

Gosh I want one!

[@MultiShawnt]

Meant for me!

[@ep6606]

The audio is better then the gopro

[@antonv.]

E JP yes, and without image stabilization it's great for recording things that does not move, a wall for example.

[@50450720]

No 4k, no stabilisation = no thanks!

[@gasken2182]

"No internal 4K"... annnnnd closes video window.

[@anakwatan617]

Oh my goat! No 4k internal video recording. omg .

[@USELESSINFO-y3p]

NOT A FAN OF 4K 2K I CAN GET BETTER PIC QUALITY W/720DPI TINKER RESILUTION LOWER ON MONITER AND GPU

[@Brizzio07]

why the fuck an F4... the rx100 at 24mm is 1.8

[@BigDSProductions]

If you could get 1.8 out of that miniature lens, it would be insanely soft.

[@Brizzio07]

Big DS Productions all smartphones are f1.7...

[@BigDSProductions]

But most smartphones are using tiny little sensors. Not 1" sensors. There are optical limitations that some along with capturing to a 1" sensor in a small camera with, what is basically, a pinhole lens.

[@Brizzio07]

Big DS Productions you are right, but f.4 i think it's to much close. I can't imagine low light performance...like 12800 iso to have visible footage lol and that iso level on a 1inch sensor, hello grain!

[@BigDSProductions]

My personal preference for the work I do is to have a f/2.8 or better. Seems like most of the affordable lenses Sony releases lately for E-mount are f/4. I did see some low light footage from the RX0 and I wasn't impressed. Pretty mushy and noisy. The quality was bad enough, that I think it may be better being a little soft at f2.8. Still better than my Hero4 Black though. I might add the RX0, but it won't be replacing my Ribcage Hero4.

[@BULLARTWORKS]

The downside is there is no stabilization!!

[@GraciaClara]

It's not an action camera and I'm pretty sure those who bought this camera are gimbal user.

[@fishycomics]

Killed two Birds with One Stone. thank you.

[@kryde101]

omg Makaley Kalkin)

[@HoratioBannister]

Great video, thanks! If this shot 4K I would buy it, especially if it had a 24 mm lens. 35 is cool, but not from a selfie / KZbin perspective. Not that this camera is designed for that, but I could see it being used great for that! 35, when turn to the self, isn't quite wide enough. Even 24 can be tight. Oh Sony, how I wish this was 4K! I just did a review of The Hero 6, and noted that I'm so sick of the round distorted view that have GoPro offers it is my first upgrade since a Hero 3, because of my passion for 4K 60 frames per second. Would have loved that Sony!kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnu2epmsfKiZo7c

[@JR_ST]

I would check out the new MK2 version before there are none available. Sony recently had to stop production because they couldn't meet supply demands; factory caught fire and destroyed several units.

[@edsbloggingcom]

Stop talking! I start drawling!

[@NasirKhan-ql1oc]

❤💓❤

[@NasirKhan-ql1oc]

You very beautiful

[@edsbloggingcom]

For starters a GoPro makes crappie video compared to this Sony

[@just4therecord]

thanks for the insights. agree with you on all points....its also too expensive a price point with no IBS and non-4K. btw you need a hair cut 😜
