[@salo200305]

I Love your videos!!

[@jenright356]

When's the GoPro Fusion review coming?

[@HazardSports]

I love Sony but to me the RX0 is pointless! I am upgrading from the A7RM2 to the A7RM3 but for action camera it is still GoPro for me!

[@nicholastoo858]

You're videos are great! Have you watched disposable me?

[@jenright356]

The Hero 6 is legit. People love to bash GoPro for no reason.

[@JustinWeisser]

Wow! I know that editing videos from 4 different cameras is super difficult, but you did a great job, and the review remained to be great quality! Well done!

[@mexicanfrusciante]

that's why he is going for world dominatttttttt

[@TechyMohit]

*Here is 5 cameras.....one in hand to vlog*

[@BryanMiraflor]

Lmao @14:16 “is it a POV for couch casting?” Hahahah

[@tjmctube]

Bryan Miraflor Ya, like couch casting, he slipped that one in there. :-)

[@TrailFeatures]

This was the best review of the RX0 I've seen so far. Well done! The RX0 is a hard sell for anything outside of a studio set or fully funded production. The 1" sensor means you can actually use it in a workflow with full-size cameras and not have it stick out as much as GoPro footage. It's great for getting decent footage from places/angles that a DSLR/cine rig can't fit, but needs a monitor to actually preform well. Overall, this is a specialty tool to keep in your inventory. All that said, The hero 5 and 6 have terrible sound without modifications and using protune raw audio, and a lot of issues to be ironed out. Sony could have just taken the x3000, put it in this form factor, added a screen, and maybe tweak the microphones to have a solid product. The reason most people don't use the x3000 is it doesn't fit any gimbal on the market right now and doesn't have a rearview screen. But, I'm just some random guy on internet.

[@Travel_addict_81]

100 % right, who else would buy this?

[@avinashrai11141]

Trail Features But in studio having big size camera and weight isn't big problem at all. I'm still thinking why this camera exists?

[@TrailFeatures]

DIY-HACKS, The vision of the director doesn't always line up with what's practical given money, time, and resources (man-hours). If the director wants a shot that requires a mobile set to be built to support a large rigging, that takes money, supplies, and time. After a while, you'll run out of one or all of those things. As a director, you have to decide what's worse: Compromising on the shot or cut it out altogether. In The Hobbit, they tried to use GoPros as a compromise when point of view footage was desired. I don't have to point out where they used that footage in this scene: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH6ak6yLideGkKMm6s If the RX0 was out, I'm willing to bet they would have taken the time to build a small waterproof enclosure to house an RX0 and a monitor to record 4k footage that could be color matched to blend seamlessly with the action. Sure it would more difficult than using a GoPro, but it would be a heck of a lot more simple than trying to figure out how to waterproof a RED Weapon Cine gig. So, there are uses for this camera, but the uses are some that 98% of the people watching this review (including myself) will likely never need; because, those uses are for funded projects.

[@avinashrai11141]

Trail Features I have watched the hobbit so many times that I have every scene and dialogue in my memory. Really want to know which part of movie is shot on gopro.

[@TrailFeatures]

DIY-HACKS, They used it for the point of view shots of the hobbits going down the river in the barrels. goo.gl/UUqdDX

[@MrBlackReviews]

love your work!!!! RX0 looked good at release and then you read what it can... or basically CANT do and just seems like they really missed the mark with this camera

[@nikos-giorgos]

where is danny black Yes, like with nearly every camera they produce...

[@avinashrai11141]

where is danny black In typical Sony fashion, at launch event their cameras seems to kill the competitors but in reality their camera sucks for most part. I was really considering Rxo but after watching this video I have no interest. Thanks Iphonedo for saving my $700.Really from bottom of my ♥.Thanks... 👍👍👍

[@MrBlackReviews]

ya.. I have a camera company that wanted to send me an RX0 to do a review and after watching this, I was like nahhhh dont send it (waste of time) but I do have the a6500 Sony camera and it is a great camera

[@JosephActivate]

I’ve been waiting for this review!!! Thank you!!! I won’t skip the ad for you!

[@Sepulkrum]

I like how it looks but feel that the fdr x3000 is a better option.

[@SkankHunt-hh8ex]

xavier sepulveda the x3000 doesn't record 4k 10-bit 4:2:2 like the RX0 but it is better than the Go Pro

[@LostandFoundTravel]

I LOVE the x3000 and have never looked back.

[@BEnglishSchool]

Totally agree, besides it has an amazing optical stabilization.

[@Dorset_Phil]

Would you say that the Sony X3000R is the action cam to go for?

[@BlueWorldTV]

Nicely done review as always!

[@mpc77769]

What the hell is the purpose of this product? $700???

[@technoxtreme178]

1:20...this camera can survive an attack from a 2- metre shark....a world first!

[@onurak9132]

This is the best channel for real life reviews. Definitely should check before buying something.

[@TimeBreakPictures]

Your reviews are getting better and better - thanks a lot for doing this!

[@RageStudios]

this guy is real deal! best reviews in youtube

[@DNKF]

Comparing 4 + 1 footages (all 4 cameras plus X3000), best footages are taken from X3000. FDR-X3000 is still the winner for small size, image quality and image stabilization. lol

[@ThePandaPhotographer]

iPhonedo should have 2Million subs, the best review on KZbin about the RX0 and I am a photographer and need good video devices . Thank for the review iPhonedo

[@puhgeh]

The RX0's performance and usage fits its battery code @0:57 NP BJ1 code which basically means you'll have NoProblem recording 1 BJ.

[@akshaykumar_r]

Much awaited comparison! Props for the elbow grease you put into making this video! :D

[@danielwiltshire929]

Awesome review, I am very impressed with the quality of your videos

[@jakeguello6814]

about time! ive been waiting to hear what you had to say about this camera. great job!! thanks!

[@BulentSvr]

Good to see 4 different options in a review. This is really really important for end-users like us.

[@grandadan]

So the winer is 100 5 , the good thing is that mic that others should have too

[@LEXPIX]

Nicely done man. The image stabilization on the iPhone X is awesome!

[@JustAaronJoshua]

“Is it a POV camera for couch casting” ... lol

[@teapotone]

Absolutely love your vids! Fantastically thorough review there of the RX0. I definitely WON’T be getting one of those then. Have you ever tried the Drift Ghost 4K? I’m testing one at the moment and it’s so bad I think you’d have a field day in your vids!!! Keep up the awesome work brother 👍

[@BoazRymland]

Just a small comment: you have to switch to a better microphone on the outdoor shooting. Perhaps Unidirectional mic. Possibly lower gain settings. The cuts between the outdoors and indoors clearly demonstrate this in this video :)

[@SirPierreSe]

Very good test, ill share it on my blog

[@MyLifesVentures]

I always love your interesting, humorous reviews! You are on point! Good stuff!

[@TheEverydayDad]

I wanted to like the RX0 so badly. But I came to many of the same conclusions, the only real way to make it useable is to buy the accessories but at that point you could have just purchased a better camera. Thanks for the video great as always! 😁👍

[@stejnaci]

great reviews i lov3 the style and language how u do the comparison review.. great job.

[@Capt_Billy]

Does your A6500 overheat after 10-20 minutes recording video?

[@Fishingchanneltv]

hi you Sony lover... I got a huge problem, after I used Gopros since the one I wake and moved to Sony, is just perfect and I use for like 1 year now, but till today I shot my videos at 1080 60 fps and that is ok for the ebay filter I have, the problem is I am now shooting at 4k and we can see the black border of the filter, do you know any filter to use in 4k to the sony fdr-1000 vr, don´t find on ebay, Sony can´t help, Polarpro don´t have bahhhhhh need help

[@checkbox1234]

Even if the product you review is not of particular interest to me personally . You make it almost compulsive viewing by the effort you put in to the review and the editing is just excellent .

[@muratgezer9921]

Is the Sony RX0 Sony FDR-X 3000 rival?Which one should we choose for a good underwater attraction?

[@TechnologyGeeks]

Hello, i want to ask what camera you use for this video? Thats amazing good. Thanks

[@Jord0699]

I noticed you had a Samsung evo MicroSD in the GoPro Hero 6? what capacity? I have recording issues when used 60ishGB of my 256GB Samsung Evo Micro SD on my Session 5 (and full size) I put it down to the memory card size. Could this be why yours had cut/froze?

[@PeterKornum]

I would like to do some slo-mo b-role for my fpv videos as handy and easy as possibly what would you recommend?

[@nobordersmiketheblacktrave5706]

You save 1000 us dollar (That's the price it is sold in my town here in Europe). I was looking for the smallest camera that performs best in low light and I was advice to buy this Sony RX0. Do you have any recommendation for a good small size camera for low light shooting? Thanks in advance!

[@TheZX11]

I will get this if I need a tough action camera with a bigger sensor than my other action cams. Doubt the RX100 or iPhoneX would handle catching a wave while hung over a boat for moving hull shots (which I tend to do). Nice that it isn't so wide angle looking.

[@ZeroPointProductions]

love the bits of your music you put in your vids man, im gonna check out your stuff on iTunes

[@skoskii1]

Excellent review!! A bit off topic but do you have any idea when Sony will release RX100 M6?

[@Danger_mouse]

I found this RX-0 in a store while looking for my new Sony X3000 Action Cam. I came to the same conclusion that the RX-0 really doesn't have a place to be.... The small size and alloy body would make it great for extreme sports, but the lack of image stabilisation and poor battery life make that impossible. Not to mention the +$1000 Australian price tag! I don't understand it purpose either. I went ahead and got the X3000 for my dirt bikes.

[@christian79s4]

That gopro fisheye footage in the mix sickens me, it should have been fdr-x3000 for comparison but i bet that was the whole point ;)

[@RonScibilia]

I plan to use the RX0 as a go-anywhere "travel" camera, primarily to shoot stills. Not typical, I realize.

[@sushichef40]

Awesome comparison video as usual

[@jankarlsson8341]

Great I have waited for a review of that camera!

[@funtrain23]

Thanks for doing the review. I've been interested in this ever since it was announced, but the spec was so iffy, like, no native 4k, come on, it's 2017! 35mm seems really odd for a camera like this, too. And how can you use it as a normal camera when it's so small and has so few buttons. Nothing really adds up, you know. Like, if you're gonna take advantage of the 1 inch sensor, at least let it shoot 4k. And how can it have a Mic Jack when the rx100 doesn't, when it's much bigger? After your review, I see that the image quality overall isn't great, in spite of the sensor and the Zeis lens, and the minimum focus distance isn't good, either, and why only 15 megapixel when rx100 has 20? Is the whole sensor being utilized? Overall, 1 inch sensor plus Zeis lens sounded really good, but looking at it more closely just makes me scratch my head wondering what Sony was thinking and what they were trying to achieve. By the way, the stabilization of the iPhone x looks amazing! It also seems to offer good colors without the need to edit. I wonder if rx100's vivid shooting mode performs just as good. Thanks again, love your channel and reviews. They're funny, honest, and insightful. I hate those reviewers who are so biased, not knowledgeable, and ridiculous. I saw one who said something like "who needs 4k anyway" and "think of it as a smaller rx100 camera" instead of a GoPro. I wonder how much bribe money she took... Anyways, have a nice weekend and God bless.

[@roryonabike5863]

It's 24mm equivalent, not 35mm.

[@TheVelomobileChannel]

Great review! Now I’m just thinking why did they even made this camera?

[@conpgmr]

Great video as always! I would get the Mavic Pro Platinum if my budget could afford. I’ll most likely go with the Spark. I call it the Mighty Mouse of drones! I’m assuming you’ll be doing a video for the Mavic Air after the announcement this week?

[@nickdaxx]

So true.. great review.. love your energy in all your reviews

[@ImprovingAbility]

New special effects! Videos still getting better and better. Unbelievable. There is no ceiling ! Take us to the moon, no şaka !

[@trapromo]

I can see myself wanting this for 1-2 man band for lower budget commercial shoots, when you want to strap the camera onto something, and you do not want a cheap gopro fisheye look,but want to match it to a7s\gh4 or similar. Also much better in low light. But a little overpriced. And when budget is low and you got to move, its nice to have an extra camera in the bag , or pocket, lol, smack it up as a b\c camera angle "just in case shot" .

[@sadnessinside123]

Really really good review. As always. Thank you.

[@zodiacfml]

I'd consider for the price of the original RX100. This is a digital camera without the size of the RX100 while being more rugged. It can shoot RAW. I hope you can do some photography comparison with any RX100.

[@EastyUK]

I like the look of the footage. Any normal action camera looks rather unrealistic. Wide FOV makes footage look faster. It also reduces gradient and oens u corners. If you want to show a realistic vantage point with a small camera this is a great tool.

[@basingstokedave4292]

very very good vid on the camras . but can i ask what you would use if you wanted to make a very good home video for lets say a homebrew video. some thing easy to use set up good sound and video. . or should i just use my iphone 6 plus? cheers

[@Nick-gi4tt]

What's the bar on top of the tripod? The thing that's holding all of the devices

[@RichardsWorld]

Wow. Where do you find the gypsy music?

[@Torokal]

Can you test pocket printers? (HP , fujifilm etc.)

[@EugenioTrainer]

I think you have to show what the camera can do instead can't do and in what situation is good, just saying

[@siopaomaster]

hey sir may I know what mic you used on this video? Thanks in advance!

[@exarrkun30]

And the winner is, Sony... FDR3000 that is. I see you used that for making most of this video. I bought that camera from your recommendation, great camera, and it’s 12+ months old!

[@promirinsenbaroi3620]

i love your videos, so many days i am i am waiting for your video.

[@juanlin555]

So, what *is* a good camera for POV couch casting?

[@charliestoyreview121]

Why are we waiting so long for an microphone jack in the RX100 series?

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

This is the worlds greatest promotion for the iPhone X. Running neck and neck with all of these powerhouses and I can even watch this video on my X. I just saved $699 thank you.

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

And it’s super easy to zoom in and out of video on the X and no need to transfer the clip. It’s already there. Low light image quality while shooting video is the iPhones big weakness.

[@carlitosvodka]

what is that you vlog with on the other hand 5:00 i have not seen a rig like that

[@davidalanmedia]

Always entertaining and right on the mark!

[@FlyingMerf]

It may be a good camera for drone mapping.

[@StephaneP]

👍 The gopro is not in linear mode for the test, why ?

[@TheZX11]

It would have cropped down the resolution of the video. Cropping it to make it look like a narrower lens. results would have been more pixely looking versus the other cameras. Unfair to the GoPro.

[@AddictedAngler]

For that price tag I would stick with x3000r so far the best Cam I own

[@GunBang]

Best rx0 reviewer

[@onthebeaches]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Amazing comparisons once again! I don't think people know how difficult and time consuming it is to do 2 cameras sided by side let alone four!!! PEACE OUT!

[@Andyzhuang666]

hi, we have a nice CNC alunimun housing cage for RX0, are you interest to review?

[@iandavies6620]

Imagine having the X3000 internals in the RX0 body with a touchscreen! That would blitz the action cam marke!

[@kevindiossi]

Great video! You said it best with your synopsis: there's a better camera for almost every situation. This price point is pretty unacceptable. If you own a flagship phone, just buy a Hero5 and you should be good to go with those two for most situations without over thinking anything. Just to get started, of course. This camera doesn't seem to do well at anything.

[@martienstofmeel2192]

Hi Nice video. My i ask what camera are u use for the flog ?

[@janusztriks]

I was 90% sure that I'm going to buy this camera thank you for honest review I'll wait for something else I'm using go pro 4 black but I also don't like go pro 6 for the low light performance I'll wait thank you once again.

[@Yves2033]

Hello，I like to know your microphone for x3000? I cant find more info in your channel or blog，Thanks！

[@jonm1013]

6:59 Hey I’ve stood there before at night enjoying the view! =)

[@JP1050x]

Great review. The RX10 series would also be good to add to the mix. The RX10 series has a better, sharper lens than the RX100 series. Also, it's nice that the RX10 series does not overheat in 4K. It ended up being a perfect vacation camera traveling to New Zealand & Australia.

[@TheDooher]

Hello, what stick/3-pod are you using?

[@Jayjay0071160]

Was the video at the beginning shot with the fdr x3000 ?

[@nickollasmendes8780]

hello from brazil... this is my favorite youtube page... thanks for your videos

[@manshster]

Whats your vlogging setup?

[@michaelcyclemtb]

thank you for the info, but you had me so stressed out thinking you were going to drop the cameras lol

[@DiogoReis]

I'll skip that one for the MKII version that will probably get the internal 4K video @ 100Mb/s at least and just like the rx-100 V :) Keep up with the good work!

[@lukeiotron6411]

Another great video 👍

[@freewillftw]

thanks for the high quality review, but what does the "horseshakala" mean at the end?

[@muhendisbibey]

Evan Hung it’s “Hoşçakalın” and means is goodbye in Turkish.

[@freewillftw]

ah ok that's a pretty cool.

[@iunewind]

Most popular mention about RX0 - its beta-test of new lines. This mark 1 version almost usless - even pro hard to take job for this - every thing will be shooted better (or most optimal) on something else. But rx0 mark II or III - probably will be very nice, im sure ))

[@redwin21]

Honest review. I like it. Keep it up

[@TechUrduPK]

Aaaaand here it is best youtuber i bet a professional editor cannot edit like iphonedo Best

[@CaptainEasy]

We need a Sony FDR-X4000 with 4K and 60 FPS. :(

[@utomo8]

Sony need to add image stabilization and 4k support on next model

[@MacVitRu]

Привет. Какая модель микрофона присоединена к sony x3000?

[@dbest1aVlogs]

No Image stabilization... I’m not even gonna finish watching.

[@jayphilipwilliams]

Gimbal.

[@lastethica]

Jay Philip Williams as far as i know no gimbal works for this rx0

[@roryonabike5863]

Any action camera/smartphone gimbal that won't interfere with the fact that the lens is centred will work, such as the LanParte LA3D-S2.

[@Slightlyevil]

Still at 700 it should have image stabilization.

[@liamdonovan4768]

I love your vids, the entertaining side & valuable insights/opinions are all... top notch! ;P Please review more phones compare them to each other, maybe "Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 vs iPhone X" that’s a comparison I would love to see done in your style (it’s quite different than other KZbinrs and I find it much more valuable)!! Thanks.

[@zohebkun3218]

14:18- pov for couch casting ...........hahahaha

[@Zack_Darce]

thank you for the amazing review

[@fmfpower20]

The best review guy love him !!
