When I told my girl that they Sony an update to her RX100V her immediate reaction was "mic jack = instant buy". Thanks for "listening" to younger audience, vlogers and literally every reviewer of RX100V. All we needed was a mic jack!

[@dancemonkey1313]

That sensor dust tho

[@Wabajak13]

MistaKimsta that's more than dust, it's like....a big piece of dust.

[@NicholasHo]

Sensor rock

[@c5367]

Booger on the lens?

[@chrisbrown8748]

I feel bad for him because I’m sure he saw it lol

[@ashutoshjha1652]

U know that's a mirrorless

[@biscuitsalive]

Clean your sensor!!!

[@phanumatduangthai3401]

Your review is always unique and I can watch it over and over again.

[@BarbaryStudio]

im so happy to be one of your subscribers how always was a fan from the beginning of your succes on youtube.

[@Zakalwe-01]

Kai that was great! A proper DigitalRev vibe. Much less phoney street cool here and more of that authentic Kai Wong charisma and charm.

[@Khandiephotography]

Kai I love your sarcasm and real life talk. No waffle bullshit. Properly reviewed by someone who actually interested in the end results and usability. Also...you crack me up especially when you see other people reviews of the same product and they keep it nice rather than equal review it:good and bad

[@Mayaman67]

Bloke cracks me up.

[@obsidian00]

Not today SONY...not today. Thanks for another great vid Kai!

[@ZoioDodia]

PERFECT

[@FrankNeulichedl]

And not a word about pricing ... which increased as much as the focal range. Well rounded opinion piece 🙃

[@Cabsorx]

Always a pleasure watching your videos!

[@kyokuten]

Very good review, the style I've subscribed to DRTV for when you've been presenting there back in the days, good job!

[@thatzombieplace]

Holy shit. I had no idea you had your own channel! This has made my day

[@TheGreyOx]

Always a pleasure to listen to Kai's quirky one-liners. ;)

[@SamuelLee82]

Oh wow- I'm genuinely impressed with it's video capabilities!

[@AmatuerHourCoding]

your videos are always amazing. not even into cameras, youre just hilarious!

[@markw993]

It's astonishing how this Sony series of cameras keeps surprising. I'm still shooting on on the original RX100 and 6 years later it's just as great (if a little long-lensed at 28mm). so far as social media and full-screen photos it's great - if I ever get more serious about my photography I'll have to go with a Sony system.

[@sebastiaanvanwater]

Brings a Sony to film a Sony event. Sensor dust and overheating galore.

[@JohnTube2K]

4k video of the RX100 looks crispy and heck.... better than I thought it could do

[@Bxnsal]

Been waiting for this 🙌

[@MrCochise71]

He's back!

[@InappropriateReefer]

Still no Mic-In; went from RX100IV to V, but won't jump to VI. Also, do you notice a weird rattling noise in your video when filming and moving around with the VI? Both my IV and V developed this glass-on-glass rattling noise within a year, and 4 V I tested new out of the box has this rattling noise during filming. Supposedly loose lens assembly for the IS and is within spec.

[@SkylerKing]

That guy at 3:33 sneaking a picture of Kai. We all know who the real star of these events, is...

[@shiznuts]

Of Kai's shadow. In post crops in on the phallus shaped object in front of Kai's face... for erm, artistic purposes.

[@mika123123]

Guy taking photo of guy who are shooting video of himself taking photo..

[@questionmark3666]

Hes famous

[@Photomeike]

The IBIS during video in that thing is amazing... #sarcasm

[@TheGirlSkateBoardCo]

Photo-Me-Ike for real!!! So good I might sell my GH5 and buy 2 of these!

[@biebermyballs100]

Hey Kai, great video as always! One question: what lens have you been using with the A7III (specifically this video)?

[@BanjoeTraveler]

Still holding for the A7III. Thanks Kai for the review

[@jayleepainting]

Thanks for no mic input. I don't need to buy this.

[@alexsmba]

Jay Lee Watercolor Painting get the RX10 IV. It has an XLR with shotgun mount.

[@SiarheiKuchuk]

it doesnt need it. sound never written on camera. buy tascam recorder with mic

[@RiceAndRun]

finally caught up to all your vids !

[@Pierre-nz4xe]

Two references to my favorite Tom Cruise movies. This video does well deserve a like! High way to the Boke Zone!!

[@MS-tw3tj]

Much better color accuracy than previous models. And sharpness is very good for this range. Good job Sony

[@npet6842]

I'm still using the Mark I as my "carry everywhere" when I'm not using a FF DSLR .It's quite a good camera and they're still available in Australia for about 240 quid .

[@poppycocksa]

Kai is always having fun!

[@tomasrandom6430]

vloging camera for 1200usd with no mic input? Much sense..

[@platonicdreamer]

they said they listened to the people when putting it together, hahaha. same as samsung's reinvented camera that is as crappy as all other androids....best camera is found on iphone, so just buy xs and you can hook up external mic

[@wheelheart]

"must be cold in that shop" :DDDD That's why Kai's photography channel is the best :D Always entertaining.

[@cryx4]

Kai, my new D3400 arrived today! I’ve been using a D70 for years now, so I’d like to thank you for inspiring me.

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Like the idea of the vlogging handle. Wish Canon would make something like that for the M5 etc that worked both video and photo modes. Hate having to press a button on the back to start recording.

[@NicolasPoirier]

I like your sarcasm in these videos!

[@Vikingdescendent]

Keep your RX 100V and use clear image zoom if it's available with this camera. f 1.8 is a huge plus!

[@LEXPIX]

Good stuff. I'm still buyig the camera and keeping the MK V too for its F 1.8 lens, RIP.

[@sergioserramusic]

That dust spot in the center drives me crazy. Nice camera BTW, but the LOG video had a strange magenta cast in the shadows (and it's not my screen)

[@PeakTorque]

HI Kai any AF noise when videoing? Kills the gx7. M goi sai

[@hirostvjapan]

Right now I'm using Lumix G8 and I love it. I use it mostly for my family video in 4K and pictures. I wanted something smaller so was thinking of changing to RX100 M6 what do you think?

[@mgandi2490]

No.

[@hirostvjapan]

M Gandi Thank you.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

blimey phillip bloom has been hitting the free buffet! so no usb c? no mic input? and slower glass? just who were the focus group who came up with these "must have" specs?

[@ernestoquintero747]

PB's weight, lol that's what I was about to post about.

[@MrMittens1974]

Fat shamers chasing after Philip Bloom. There's something you don't see every day.

[@Veptis]

Apparently no ND aswell

[@Yates__]

That was Phillip Bloom??? I thought it was Jabba The Hutt!

[@jaysanchez4407]

A mic input is honestly the last thing needed for a point and shoot 😂

[@FranciscoShibata]

Audio Test?

[@jayfox1024]

Looks nice but i got one question can you control your pictures under bright sunlight on display? Absolutely hate the sonys displays so far.

[@happyshocker6276]

Hi Kai, at 01:30 there is a clip of the camera with a Sony external microphone mounted to the extension bar. How does it link to the camera? Thanks in advance!

[@tamaswitzl3758]

HappyShocker that is not the RX100, it's an RX0. That one has a mic input. That part of Kai's video is about the vlogging handle grip accessory, which is compatible with other stuff from Sony.

[@happyshocker6276]

Tamás Witzl Thanks so much!

[@tamaswitzl3758]

No problem - that short clip got my hopes up for a second too. :)

[@bluste63]

Kai. What was the video you shot were the subject was duplicated many times in the same frame. I think you used photoshope to layer the final result together???

[@SeanAndersonMedia]

Oh man, I feel your pain with the dirty sensor. I've shot all day only to find out when I captured my footage that it was all spoiled by a little dust on the sensor :P

[@fillman86]

almost nothing about the slow mo? is it still only a few seconds? any change?

[@baileybrocker8907]

WE LOVE YOU KAI AND SONY

[@byjefe]

*Very nice!*

[@geekloko]

Great

[@KaironexCryziz]

damn Kai, gotta work on your high pass filters, subs went ham in some of them clips, great review as always!

[@bricemilleson]

Can we also talk about how insanely good this A7III footage is??? Sony did something to get it ever so closer to RED footage and it looks fantastic!

[@micahfoordphotography3206]

Love the mark on your sensor/lens in the opening minutes...so frustrating to get home and find that out...

[@DigitalNinja3]

You'll always be my dude Kai. You are the funniest youtuber. They can't hang with your quick wit and sharp tongue.👅

[@janhemstad]

I really don't get why they didn't add a mic input if it was meant for bloggers... Somebody explain????

[@bluefish537]

Because if they put a mic input, it's over. There would be no need to buy the next RX 100VII. Companies don't want to build the perfect product, they want to build a good product.

[@nlrnama]

$$$$$

[@janhemstad]

I know why, its just sad intentional shoddiness. Well, the first person to make a decent low cost, moderate size image sensor, fast fixed lens, that has a side flip LCD, with shoe mount, and in a small form factor *sharp inhale* ...is going to make a killing.

[@itsryanwilkes]

Because then the a6000 series would get hit hard lol

[@JetBen555]

the a6000 doesnt have a mic input only a6300/6500

[@Jeankcr]

it probably gets hot if you use it for video for a long time?

[@TheDyingFox]

@6:03 Yay! New desktop image! :D (Also, that zooming out makes it look like the water moves, when I watched in 4K but in KZbin window mode, cool effect)

[@misterfung]

Fanfiuckingtastic as always. Great fun.

[@ritanaklouth7267]

i'm traveling soon and have never bought a camera before. I've always been a phone picture user. Looking for something very pocketable like this sony rx100. Are there better value options out there or any competitions that could compete with sony?

[@BenVacher]

“I mean it’s practical, but so is a bus” Best line. Best review.

[@Funnyaunny]

Kai, you have tested RX10ii before. Does RX100vi has better image quality than RX10ii?

[@JazzMac36251]

How in god's name did you get your A7iii to overheat? I've shot 4k for extended periods of time in a room that was literally 98 degrees without even seeing the temperature warning sign. Do you have your temp setting to "high"?

[@resortk7548]

How about the image quality at 24 and 200 with full aperture open? Is it OKAY type or need to make it smaller to get sharper image?

[@NaturalWorldChew]

A superb pocket camera! Might even use it as a backup to my other gear.:))

[@Malakyte-Studio]

Nice big dust spot in dead center. Well done! :D

[@Wabajak13]

How does the digital zoom hold up? Shooting at 140mm equivalent on the mk5 works for me, but 400mm would just be amazing in that size.

[@sumedh99999]

NICE AWSM VIDEO ...please will u make a comparison video of RX10 M4 vs RX 100 M6...i know these are diff cameras ...but want to clear out if rx 100 can close in on rx10 on some level ...esp image quality ! thank you !

[@andyfrancolive]

Hi Kai! Did you noted that Álvaro of Photolari and you make a cameo to each other? Curious...

[@timdelange34]

Loved the spec on the linse Kai W try moving it for next time, will be fun

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

Can you use the flash as a light for video at night? Like on a phone the flash becomes a permanent light when shooting video?

[@dalziboy]

You went to Venice??? I'm from a town near Venice! Keep up the good contents Kai! Greetings from Italy!

[@alsokooniiee4797]

Kai what must we do so you will make daily videos?

[@HarrisonBroadbent]

yay more kai

[@RubixMan99]

Maybe I'm a bit ambitious shooting in Dubai this summer with the a7 iii in 40 degree. Oh

[@backtothewestcoast7392]

No mic input?

[@katagonga]

Really surprised they didn't add one this time

[@jacksonahkila4693]

don't worry they will add it on the next version to entice you to buy it

[@yuepengng]

Hi, could you do a tips video on how to take self family portrait with phone? Thanks and appreciate.

[@LeeBailes]

Kai, do you or anyone at Sony know if the new shooting grip works with the RX100 Mark 5?

[@f4ke444]

yey new vlog from kai wong man

[@reformschoolkid831]

so is this camera a buy or no? i'm thinking of starting a vlog.

[@Kdkjdjewerdnxa]

The smaller max aperture is a bummer. I feel like there isn’t that much reason for many people to get tiny sensor compact cameras especially when you get no natural subject isolation, phones can shoot 4K already and have comparable image quality.

[@davewyman]

This camera has a 200mm equivalent lens. You can have a small camera with with a large aperture or a small camera with a long lens, but not both at the same time.

[@munnyl7837]

Omg I want this Camera!

[@Daniel.Anugerah]

Is the xt100 review coming soon?

[@questionmark3666]

Is this good for concerts and interviews and vlogs

[@slinkytrips]

A few things people have missed; yes there is a touch screen but it is actually lower resolution than the previous models rear screen. Also no 3.5mm mic jack, but there is now bluetooth so I can see Sony releasing a bluetooth mic transmitter for this. Any mic would plug into a jack but you are forced to get only Sony's bluetooth mic, sneaky sneaky...

[@AgnostosGnostos]

Usually this kind of cameras have zoom lenses that eventually will attract dust inside them. This dust will start to appear in photos and there is very little things you can do about that. Better choose a compact camera with a fixed lens like the Sony RX1 series. There is the fat Philip Bloom too in Venice. Skiathos island helps him to eat well.

[@OURWORLDTV]

This looks nice maybe paired with the a7iii. Would love to get something like this and the a7iii.

[@8Kexperience]

Hows image stabilization on this?

[@MarlonKingShow]

Another entertaining video, cheers dude.... and, Another good portable Sony camera, a shame they got carried away with the price. £800-900 this camera is great, above that, probably better getting the a6500 or just saving some bucks and getting something else.

[@KeshavChugh]

Whose voices were they listening to? Because EVERYONE has been asking for a mic input on the Rx100.

[@alrizkimarino]

Gotta love Phillip Bloom's cameo.

[@lars5377]

Is it worth an upgrade from my RX100 V if I do not use the zoom?

[@resortk7548]

I am actually plan to trade in my Rx100V but still a little bit hesitate on the shrinking aperture.

[@jbravo70]

I bought this camera and was so happy until I compared the pictures with my rx100ii. I don’t know what it is, either the flash or the new lens but the mark ii’s pictures are so much richer...by a whole lot. The vi has many nice new extras, but in the end the quality of the portrait is most important. And that’s why this camera is going back. I played with it for 2 weeks and no settings gave you the colors, richness, and the awesome bouncing flash like the mark ii version. Oh and the mark ii has the multi-hotshoe, so you can hook up external mics to it! Maybe somebody else can compare the older versions with the mark vi and write about the experience.

[@agambhasin]

How’s the bokeh on this one Kai, Do some bokeh shots with this one too!

[@nicklam93]

Can you share your comparison comment with Leica C-Lux? it should be a head to head competition betwen the two. make sense? cheers.

[@ishan547]

Hey kai do you have dirt on your sensor?

[@94Ninsound94]

You have dust in the middle of the lense or maybe sensor it seems @KaiW

[@PopartFilms]

Does the RX100 VI compensate it's lower max aperture perhaps with much improved noise reduction in ISO?

[@parisbase4639]

Popart Films As observed from the many photos samples on internet, RX100 VI has much more inferior low light performance than V. Images get blurry/soft and noisy as early as ISO 800-1000. Including those from Dpreview. Very unacceptable for the pricepoint of $1200. A huge drawback. 3.img-dpreview.com/files/p/sample_galleries/8189628340/1801841581.jpg pliki.optyczne.pl/SRX100mk6/DSC00291.JPG pliki.optyczne.pl/SRX100mk6/DSC00282.JPG Optyczne Whole collection : www.optyczne.pl/12489-news-Sony_Cyber-shot_RX100_VI-_zdj%C4%99cia_przyk%C5%82adowe.html

[@rtong]

So, basically, the RX100V is better than the RX100VI...

[@kenross6028]

Paris Base -So this is nonsense. DPReview has objective test shots that can be used in their comparison tool, where up to 4 cameras can be compared. The fact is, and the tool shows, at multiple ISOs up to 3200, the RX100VI does better than the RX100V, with less noise and more detail.

[@PopartFilms]

I hope this is true, Ken. I really want to like the new RXVI. So I just checked it out. And it looks like the noise is the same, however their noise reduction algorithm seems to be improved (or is just laid on a bit thicker). However the difference between the apertures of the two cameras probably won't be saved by the noise reduction improvement, when it comes to darker environments. Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I still think that 24-70mm is preferable with that f/1.8 for my purposes. I'm not shooting video of wildlife with this camera, I'm filming mostly people who are 3-15 feet away and often in darker environments and that low light capability in such a small package is the main reason I love the Mark V so much. If it had a mic jack, that camera would be the absolute perfection of a take-it-everywhere vlogging camera.

[@kenross6028]

Popart Films - I found less noise and more detail in the VI vs the V up to ISO 1600. I have linked the tool below. For me, even if there’s a bit of light loss, I’ve seen a few very impressive 4K low light videos. Add to that the much greater reach, HLG/HDR capability, selfie LCD and touch focus, it’s a much better fit for me. YMMV. www.dpreview.com/reviews/image-comparison?attr18=daylight&attr13_0=sony_dscrx100m6&attr13_1=sony_dscrx100m5&attr13_2=sony_a7iii&attr13_3=panasonic_dcgh5&attr15_0=jpeg&attr15_1=jpeg&attr15_2=jpeg&attr15_3=jpeg&attr16_0=1600&attr16_1=1600&attr16_2=1600&attr16_3=1600&normalization=full&widget=1&x=0.3402563301031572&y=1.0109835415889594
