Sony RX100 VI Hands-on

[@Stanlyok]

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!!!

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@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. :)

[@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.

[@LashanR]

Was it just me or was the 4K footage completely unstabilised? Looked really janky

[@MegaUrzo]

on 4k there is no stabilisation according to Sony.

[@luckynever8208]

RX100V looks exactly the same, no IBIS for 4k footages

[@MegaUrzo]

Initially I thought the same too, why buy the VI? After putting some thoughts I would still buy the VI for few reasons. 1. the touch screen allows you to do video shots like pull focus. 2. 200mm zoom allows me to film stuff far away in slow motion eg birds. 3. Stabilisation with a long focal length and something so compact. It's pretty pricey, but I would prefer to have this which I can bring it out daily rather than a DSLR or Mirrorless. Im quite a casual shooter, so this fits my usage.

[@luckynever8208]

good luck with smooth motion captures without ND filter like Mark V.....even birds will look terrible

[@Traumglanz]

200mm is no fun for birds imho.

[@SkylerKing]

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

[@cinemenico]

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

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@FrankNeulichedl]

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

[@sebastiaanvanwater]

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

[@obsidian00]

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

[@yossavinsombutpanich9316]

Could't Sony redesign the aperture covers at 3:54? .I understand they need to do that but still looks a bit messy..

[@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.

[@fillman86]

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

[@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)

[@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 .

[@FranciscoShibata]

Audio Test?

[@Saimyoshu]

Kai you missed the biggest selling point over the last 5 RX100's. Is it Touch Screen finally?

[@Mohamedahmed331]

yes it is

[@PK-ql5en]

Running.

[@donrhule1424]

Hagelslag he didn't mention the pricing either!

[@zebbleganubi723]

he also left out that they no longer support the play memories apps

[@Saimyoshu]

zebble ganubi really they don’t? Is that a good thing? I didn’t really like it

[@Vikingdescendent]

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

[@thatzombieplace]

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

[@BarbaryStudio]

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

[@phanumatduangthai3401]

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

[@r3ximous]

Kai on 7:22 did you forget to colour grade?

[@EdwardBerryy]

Awww man it's disappointing that you can't use an external mic. It's pretty much unacceptable. I mean come on, I can hook up a tiny thing that clips on to my shirt and record external audio with my phone now days, it's 2018. And I can't do it with a Sony camera? Look I'm no camera expert by all means but I know that is some BS. Ever camera in 2018 should allow external audio of some type.

[@JeremyGalloway]

Yeah, it's really dumb. If they gave it a mic input AND released it in a bundle with a tiny vlogging mic, it would sell like hotcakes.

[@dustbinsavesyou8283]

Sony - The Apple of cameras

[@questionmark3666]

So is it good for shotting concerts thuo

[@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!

[@HELLOPATTAYA]

what about night shots ?

[@PeakTorque]

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

[@yuepengng]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@CYKuo-yl9lg]

3:31 is that guy shooting Kai?

[@crxracer805]

Probably something else

[@jlazzmedia3700]

What about the Velcro shoes 👟?..

[@Jeankcr]

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

[@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???

[@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.

[@8Kexperience]

Hows image stabilization on this?

[@Cabsorx]

Always a pleasure watching your videos!

[@CaptainEasy]

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

[@acaftermath]

was he using a mini tripod for the sky pic?

[@electrotoys9672]

Interesting. Are they still selling the first RX100?

[@truecuckoo]

Nice. A best seller quite possibly.. They should’ve put a mic input on the handle grip thing. And... yeah the f1.8 is a bit sad to see gone.. For most users of this camera though, f1.8 probably won’t be missed. For photographers though...

[@tams805]

Hell, some sort of bluetooth link would be enough (not for transmitting the recording, just for automatic syncing). Sony already make small microphones, so they could do it.

[@nikilragav]

exactly what i was thinking

[@Nilz4FR]

what is with this fly sitting in the center of your sensor?

[@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?

[@JanLeviSanchez]

hi no rigorous low light test? hope to see an update on this review? :)

[@jkhollywood]

They took the ND Filter away for the VI, that's not right.

[@tamasvarga67]

jkhollywood They gave you a slow lens instead so no need for ND... you can’t have everything for $1200. :)

[@Photogearnews]

Still need that ND for Slog 4K - min ISO 1000 and min aperture f/11

[@tamasvarga67]

Photogearnews I was just sarcastic...

[@LozzerGuide]

Do the RX10s have an ND filter? Probably didn't want to cannibalize sales if so

[@tams805]

Previous RX100s do, so that likely isn't the reason.

[@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...

[@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.

[@KeshavChugh]

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

[@michaelbruchas6663]

The price? Can’t keep up with all of the RX 100 models out there!

[@MS-tw3tj]

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

[@reformschoolkid831]

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

[@volodink]

Hi. What the name of portable tripod for rx10 ?

[@JohnTube2K]

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

[@zledwon]

does Sony RX100 VI has stabilisation in HD res? Is it good?

[@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!

[@kaimcclure6906]

What font did you use for your channel art.

[@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

[@LeeBailes]

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

[@pastaramen9596]

1:53, dust on the sensor?

[@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?

[@niksfx01]

6:20 was that Phillip Bloom?

[@fernieto84]

I think the guy at minute 1:03 it’s Alvaro, from the KZbin channel Photolari.

[@raygoodwin2303]

Clean your sensor, Kai!

[@tankerbruja]

If Kai gets a sponsor button this will be the only channel I use it for.

[@michaeldahal4161]

Which mini tripod is that you using in Sony xR?

[@94Ninsound94]

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

[@resortk7548]

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

[@_MintArcade]

The only reason I keep Sony devices away is the memory stick… do they still use that memory interface?

[@questionmark3666]

Is this good for concerts and interviews and vlogs

[@randomdriver]

Does it have the sony apps that the mark 4 has?

[@andyfrancolive]

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

[@Pierre-nz4xe]

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

[@gamestargs6386]

are you telling me that vloging stick thingy doesnt extend?!?

[@ucnguyenminh9393]

7:22 You forgot to grade the footage or something?

[@RubixMan99]

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

[@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.

[@Mariana-ls3ht]

anyone know with what camera this video has recorded?

[@TheGreyOx]

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

[@david_arga]

I just got this rx100 Mark VI and I only have 25, 50 and 100 fps available. How can I get 30, 60 and 120 fps?? Thanks!

[@UserTenNumbers]

where was the focus with the 960fps?

[@sarahmariesarmiento2761]

What gimbal are you using?

[@juschu85]

6:47 It's not just that sometimes you can't zoom your feet quick enough. Walking closer to your subject and zooming in or walking further away and zooming out also doesn't give you the same result. But I'm pretty sure you know that. But I don't understand why you still think this is a good limitation. Being creative means you don't make good photos by accident but by making the right decisions. And one important desicion is choosing the right focal length to get the right amount af background compression. While primes still have their advantages, they won't let you make that desicion the same way you could with a zoom lense.

[@shanksone5771]

is this good for adventure vl0ging?

[@JamesTodd]

whenever I press record on my rx100 v it crops. can anyone help me?

[@914bub]

Is there a sony camera that doesnt overheat? asking for a riend

[@Daniel.Anugerah]

Is the xt100 review coming soon?

[@xy9038]

Any Review of Fujifilm X-T100 ? thank you

[@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.

[@tonyjames5444]

Very interested to see the Sony a7iii go down in the heat, shocking. Was keen to by into this system but as I often work in temperatures hotter than Venice that's concerning, it would appear it's not just rain and humidity that's a problem for these 'game changing' cameras.

[@joshelias8472]

3:43 is that taika waititi?

[@ishanxde]

Hey kai do you have dirt on your sensor?

[@SantaCruzFilms]

sensor dust though...

[@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.
