Sony RX100 VII takes on the Canon G5XII !!

In this video, 2 similar, yet quite different 1" cameras are reviewed and compared in terms of specs, features, and most importantly photo and video quality, with tons of examples in all types of situations. You will be able to decide by the end of the video which one is the clear winner!

Your videos are well done and always informative, but also keeps a lighthearted humerous tone without going overboard with it. You deserve far more followers! Great work as always.

[@techtoremember8096]

Thanks so much! Much appreciated!

Dude, again I must say that the content on your channel is exceptional. The quality of your videos, , the subject matter... They are very entertaining and useful. Thank you.BTW as usual some nice shoots there

[@techtoremember8096]

Hey man , comments like yours keep me going- Thanks so much !!!

[@I_like_science]

I love your channel, when I was doing some research on what camera to buy for just documenting my life. I came to realize that camcorders are the BEST option for people who just want to hit record and not have to worry about anything. I ended up getting the Panasonic 981k and I absolutely love it. The image quality is great (if there Is enough light) and it easy to use.

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi there, thanks so much for the comment--Glad you found happiness with your 981!

[@SulivanoTheGreat]

Very goood video! Love this type of content.

[@techtoremember8096]

Much appreciated!

[@g-dd-were5763]

You are terrific! Although Sony has a definition for focus speed in videos, I admire your reviews!

[@techtoremember8096]

Thank you ! Much appreciated !

Because of your channel I have ended up buying both an RX100 vii and a Nikon P1000 in the past 2 months! You are not good for my bank balance! As a side note I already had an RX100 ii and an RX1 from when I bought them when they were new around 10 years ago. Both cameras are still going strong. The RX100 ii with a full size flash on the hotshoe is a sight to behold! Back then at the time I wanted to take the best quality pictures of my new family so made the investment and I am so glad I did. Smartphones even to this day just do not compare. I have never felt the need to upgrade but with these new 2 additional cameras I thought I would get them while I can before they disappear forever. They may just be the last 2 cameras I ever buy. I’m from the UK but if I ever make it on holiday to New York I will be sure to visit the corner of 1st and 73rd to take a photo of the famous street signs! Anyway keep up the great videos, they are always an entertaining watch :) I really appreciate the effort you put into them. All the best.

[@techtoremember8096]

Haha! Great comment. Well, I wish I was getting a commission or some sort from either Sony or Nikon based on what you spend but oh well! That RX100ii with a full size flash must be very interesting to see. I am actually entertaining of doing a video on the original RX100 (just got my hands on one) to see how much improvement there has been with the current model. If Sony does actually come out with a successor to these RX models, I do think it will be the RX1 due to the Fuji x100 craze! And for sure, if you ever make it to NY let me know and I'll give you a tour of the 1st and 73rd corner and get you a coffee! Thanks again for your uplifting words.

[@mulreid]

Yeah that video would make an interesting comparison. If I ever make it to New York I’ll be sure to get you a coffee as a thank you for all the great content you have put out. I am slowly working through all the back catalogue. Cheers.

[@Stallzyx]

Great comparison. I actually got a RX100 VII at the start of May because my sister's graduation is in July and we haven't had a family point and shoot cam since the mid to late 2000s and also I thought with some research it'd be the best entry into concert photography without hopefully having many issues with taking it to gigs and such. I do have a question though as you mentioned it causing 1080p and not 4k on other modes (on the canon), does the movie button work perfect on any mode for the Sony*? I always change the top dial to the movie one but probably lose time going from my default shutter priority to that. I've got some great shots in the last month with the RX100 VII too. A perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity to get some photos of Keanu Reeves playing with his band

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi there ! Cool about Keanu Reeves! Yes the Sony button works properly Whatever mode you set in the menu , it will shoot (4k or 1080p) when you press record regardless what mode the PASM dial is in Canon cameras don’t behave that way- Even if you set the video to be 4k in the video menu - if you press record in any photo mode on the top dial- you’ll only get HD Takes some getting used to and doesn’t make sense to me but that’s how it works !! Thanks for your comment

[@TeoScar018]

please, can you recommend a camera up to €400 €600 used. I like to paint things that are far away, porteri concrete, the nature of animals, something that can navigate it

[@techtoremember8096]

You may look at the Panasonic FZ300 its within your price range.

[@puertoricaninoregoneliasne866]

Hello there I’m a subscriber just wondering if you can help me with a camcorder question . I’m using action cameras for most of my videos but I will like to get a camcorder with zoom capability’s which one would be your #1 choice( good stabilization)

[@techtoremember8096]

Hello, and thanks for being a subscriber!- There are quite a few options. I did a review of the Panasonic XF1 which I really liked. The quality is improved from the 981/991 prior models. The Sony AX53 is also a very popular choice. The Panasonics are less expensive than the Sony. The Panasonics and Sonys have great zoom ranges. The other option, is not a camcorder design.which is the Panasonic FZ300 which I reviewed. Has a great zoom and great picture quality and a great value, but it is designed more like a traditional camera than a camcorder. Hope this all helps. Thanks

[@puertoricaninoregoneliasne866]

@@techtoremember8096 Thank you so much . I really appreciate it .

[@samwang5831]

Sony pics seem to pop a bit more, there is no comparison in video, Sony wins hands down. There is also more range and a much better auto-focus. The biggest issue with Sony is the price. It costs almost as much as a full frame A7C! I enjoyed the comparison, please keep them coming

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi there -yes the Rx1007 does not come cheap! I agree with your assessments. Thanks for the comment!

[@h.o.j2375]

It really should win consider how much more you pay for it😂 it only makes sense. When it comes to user interface canon is better though, with touch screen, front aperture dial and extra exposure ring.

[@h.o.j2375]

In my country the Sony Rx100 vii is just short of $400usd more than the Canon G5x mkii at its original retail price, it only makes sense it has better autofocus and better imaging. Canon has better user experience, it has touch screen control, aperture ring at the front of the camera, an exposure dial and better feel/ grip. $400 more for better autofocus on a compact camera with only slightly better sharpness, is it really worth it in 2024😂 It does zoom to 200 mm but again is it worth it on a compact camera? Canon is never going to release another compact camera again, this is almost a known fact. The current ones they’re still selling will probably be discontinued in another couple of years. It’s looking like Canon is going towards the route of low end APSC like the R100 & R50 to replace their compact cameras.

[@kicyiu]

I actually find the 200mm zoom very useful in the RX100VII because of the compactness and still maintaining a very decent level of sharpness. If you go to a 200mm zoom on apsc it will be very huge to carry anywhere

[@renashbell1203]

Sony super expensive until now.

[@vaffanculoamammata-wj7zc]

Great! There are some rumore about a new Sony RX 100 Mark VIII...I HOPE.

[@techtoremember8096]

Let’s hope !
