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!
Should you decide to buy the Sony, using the link below helps the channel as it offers me a small commission but doesn't cost you anything. The Canon G5Xii is discontinued but I recommend you shop Ebay if you're interested or other second hand matketplaces.

My choice is Sony but the RX100V f1.8-2.8 24-70mm. Really good for really low light photography. Sadly, I can't buy another new unit.

[@techtoremember8096]

[@ronaldlee3537]

Yes, absolutely, I recommend the RX100-7, or the RX100-5a. I use my P&S cameras like a replacement DSLR or mirrorless camera, except that I can put it it my pocket. I had a Canon Powershot S100 and the Panasonic Lumix ZS50, and both failed after 2 years of hard use, and the companies to repair it, wanted more than half the cost of a new camera, not worth it. I bought the RX100-7 in 2020 and it is still going strong today. To me the RX100-7 was worth every penny. The only shortcoming that I can think off for the RX100-7 is that battery life, if you plan extensive use of it for either videos or photos be sure to have extra batteries, because it is a power hog. BTW a word of caution & warning for you Panasonic camera users, if you ever need service for your camera ie repair, Panasonic has a contractor in the US, and they are awful to deal with, so caveat emptor.

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

I haven’t got one of these, but I’d like the 5a. That one has got in-built ND filters?

[@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!

[@alanm.6096]

It will be interesting to see exactly what happens with the point & shoot category as smart phones continue to see improvements and capture market share. Questions are being asked of all manufacturers as to whether you'll see continued innovation. Even old point and shoot cameras can yield surprising results given the Denoise, sharpening and Jpeg artifact repairs that can be made in post processing. I am amazed by the results I got with my old A720IS now that I look at the images several years later. Simple denoising saved a lot of questionable results. Regardless of the innovations, the features and the technical quality, the technology still doesn't know how to aim the camera.

[@techtoremember8096]

Thats a good point -in addition with the viral popularity of some point and shoots like the Fuji X100VI, I think manufacturers might start to re-examine the fact that some people like the experience of using a camera (for the cool effect or whatever other reason) and the category will start to grow again. Much like vinyl records made a comeback. Who woulda thought after all the digital music and streaming that people would play big records any more? So you never know!

[@Sama3L]

There is a textured rubber grip for the RX100 called AG-R2 directly from Sony which is round about 10 bucks. You simply stick it on and it improves the handling massively. I never understood why Sony delivers the camera without it.

[@techtoremember8096]

Good to know thanks !

[@techtoremember8096]

Hey, oh great. I'm glad the video helped and thanks so much for the comment. Have a great time on your trip!

[@mulreid]

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.

[@ronaldlee3537]

I highly recommend the RX100-7, it is worth every penny.

[@michelezanolla7154]

Hi! I also have a sony rx100 ii and thinking of upgrading, and looking for sone touch screen to choose the focus easily than the rx100 ii. Do you advise an upgrade from mark 2 to mark 7? Thanks!!

[@mulreid]

@michelezanolla7154 I have both and advise the upgrade. The autofocus on the my vii is a massive improvement and also the longer 200mm reach. I still have the mkii however as it has unique features such as the hotshoe (e.g for an external mic or flash) and an f1.8 lens for close portrait shots. FYI I bought the mkii when the mkiii had just come out and I didn’t care for the viewfinder and shorter focal length lens. For me it was a downgrade and not as versatile and so in the same way the VA version with the same lens does not tempt me. Hope this helps.

[@YanirAldoubyCSB-m7m]

I have a professional camera with lenses, etc. But I'm also interested in a camera that can be with me all the time. My hesitation is between the two cameras shown in your excellent video. But while watching I wondered. Is there an advantage to the cameras shown in the video, compared to the high-quality cameras found on good phones (for example, S24 ultra, I have)? The good smart phone camares also achieve good resolution, can also shoot RAW, have optical zoom up to X5. And the main advantage of cameras on a smartphone is that it is always with me.....

[@uchiha5531]

Girl, my rx100vii is not even comparable to my samsung s24u. It's like comparing a rotten orange (phone) to a fresh apple (digicam) in point and shoot but yes, i agree that phone is the most convenient as you can carry it everywhere

[@YanirAldoubyCSB-m7m]

@@uchiha5531 Thank you for the quick answer. Could you perhaps elaborate on the advantages of the digicam (assuming it's a good compact camera like the Sony ZV1 Mark II or G7x Mark III? Today, even when I shoot from my phone, I shoot in the professional option in RAW and play with the parameters such as exposure, speed, WB, etc. I usually use autofocus but do adjust where to focus. I assume that the ability to control the parameters is better and more convenient in a digicam, but is that also in terms of the final result?? In the end, is there a significant change if I compare two shots in RAW??

[@jamesburwash5635]

Excellent review, I was comparing the GX7 because of the better zoom. It’s very hard to compare but you did an excellent comparison. For me I think I like the touch screen and while not covered in your review I believe the Panasonic app is better? I am looking for a travel camera. Will watch your video on up coming camera releases. Thanks again, cheers Vancouver Island Canada,

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi thanks so much for the comment! The Sony app is very buggy and the Canon app seems to work better.. New video coming out soon on a Panasonic Superzoom. Thanks again!

[@stanw205]

I can't believe a camera in RV100's price range doesn't have a way to use a wireless flash, using a hot shoe or 3.5 mm adapter. It would be a great backup when doing studio or location photography. If it did, I would have one by now.

[@schlepers]

How does the size fit in your pocket? I used to use a DSC T10 and it was my fav camera because of the size and lens protection.

[@techtoremember8096]

Well, it depends on the size of your pocket. Even though these cameras are technically pocketable, you may want to think twice because lint from your pocket could get into the lens mechanism and if you accidentally bump into something that could affect the camera. But if you do want to put it in your pocket they definitely can fit . I would say if you are wearing a tight pair of jeans with a small pocket then it may be harder

[@G-D-wert]

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

[@techtoremember8096]

Thank you ! Much appreciated !

[@RasheedKhan-he6xx]

Excellent video, sufficiently detailed and analytical but not boring. At the end of the day seems like nothing has changed. Sony is better, sharper, faster focus, greater zoom but Canon has that gorgeous color science nobody else can touch. Its the one reason my street camera is still a 5D (Mark I or Classic as it's been retroactively called). Only 12MP, no dynamic range to speak of but ah! The colors it can produce.❤

[@techtoremember8096]

Thanks so much! Sometimes the older cameras have a certain look..if it works don't change it!

There is something about Canon image samples where colors feel vintage / retro and pleasing. 😅

[@ThePasteete]

Amazing video, subscribed. I am looking for the best camera for candid photos/portraits for social media. Any suggestions?

[@theAverageGameplay]

I might be wrong on this but I remember the SONY pop up viewfinder has an issue where the spring is too strong which cause it to break and get stuck inside from prolonged use of camera over time. So maybe the canon is better over time. Great review overall !

[@techtoremember8096]

It’s possible ! All these delicate little parts are certainly susceptible I’m sure especially when it’s used too rough like an action camera ! Thanks for the comment !

[@rickcorrigan8863]

Wore out my Panasonic Lumix on hiking shoots, and I’m hankering for a replacement. One thing it did: shot timelapse and saved as a movie. Like the grip-ability of the Canon body, but that Sony lens is a huge draw. Great review!

I'm new to these cameras, but now I need one to take mostly selfie/ID images for the bank verification process or to stream (since I would have it). I do not have a smartphone and my computer camera (internal/even an external PC "webcam" is not capable of capturing the details on my ID for the bank verification process. I looked and their Used/older Cannon, Pentax cameras would be very useful not only to capture the details from the ID, but also as a stand-alone point-and-shoot camera. Would you please suggest? Thank you

[@techtoremember8096]

You may want to look at the Canon SX740 which I recently reviewed

[@waynehiebert3801]

Ok .... two questions .. Do each of these cameras have image stabilization and what kind ... also I do mostly street photography and I can't afford a camera that takes a long time to boot up from sleep mode... Got rid of a Sony A6500 because I was missing to many photos.... Enjoyed the video .. have subscribed..

[@techtoremember8096]

Hi, glad to hear you have subscribed. Thanks! Yes, both cameras do have stabilization-the optical kind and I believe my videos show some demonstrations of the effectiveness. I also have used both of them for street photography and do not find it a problem with any lag from sleep mode. Shouldn't be an issue for you I don't think.

[@Jydp93]

Hello, Is it a good idea to buy canon powershot sx740 in 2024? I want a compact camera with good zoom.

[@yd2712]

YMMV - I have larger hands, and have owned both cameras. I sold the Sony as even with several different grips it couldn't match the comfort of the Canon. Sony actually made my hands cramp if held for an extended period. Also, the pull-out viewfinder was a non-issue as I popped them out at the start of an adventure and left them out, never could figure out why people open and close them whilst out hunting.

[@techtoremember8096]

Good idea to keep the VF always open! Glad you found the one you liked.

[@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

[@maxpowers3732]

My Canon G5X ii just broke and I'm trying to find a current camera to replace it. Isn't there anything new that maybe incorporates the same AI you'd see on a cell phone with the better sensor and controls of a pocketable camera? Or at the very least something around the same size as the G5X ii that's better today than in 2019?

[@techtoremember8096]

Unfortunately the manufacturers have not been promoting this category of camera. Panasonic just released the ZS99, but no viewfinder and none of the AI you are referring to. I think the RX100vii might be your best bet still.

[@maxpowers3732]

@@techtoremember8096 Thanks! I'm getting flashbacks to when I bought my Canon. Do you think the RX100vii is better than the RX100VA? My nemesis is usually taking pictures at places like Disney at night and also with people in front of lighted displays so I was concerned the vii wouldn't be as strong in low light

[@techtoremember8096]

The specs of the VA are better for sure for low light, but for me I think the extra reach is more important. Unless you are taking low light shots more than 50% of the time, I don't think the nominal difference is worth it. Let's put it this way, yes the VA is a bit better in low light but the zoom on the VII is way better than the VA! But it sounds like that is what you primarily shoot is low light in which case you may be better off with the VA model.

[@ianross04]

These two cameras are my current choice. Theninly one issue that outs me off the Sony is what i think is a very over-complicated menu system which also isnt touch-screen.

[@techtoremember8096]

Yes, Sony still has the old menu system on this camera. I actually have some of the newer Sony cameras with updated menus and they aren't much better!

[@mickeyjetpur7998]

Me too! I like the touch screen on the Canon. The Sony is definitely sharper but that little difference can be fixed in LR! For me the Canon is easier. I had the A73 and hated the Sony menu. I traded it for the Canon R6mkll. I just want an easy point and shoot for vacations when I don’t want to lug a backpack around! Nor fiddle with the menu! Canon has made it a hard decision as far as the zoom is concerned!

[@ianross04]

@@mickeyjetpur7998 in the end, it didn't buy either. I went for a used Panasonic Lumix TZ 90! Absolutely love it. Perfect it isn't but after much research, I decided the reject the Canon and Sony for a compact camera that's much easier to use, significantly cheaper and produces excellent images

[@_kopiter_]

Hard to tell a difference between these cameras and a recent smartphone.. I do see a dramatic difference using FF camera, but maybe it's youtube compression ... Video out of them often looks really bad, worse than an iphone - more shaky / blown out highlights. Was debating for a while if to get one of those, but it really doesn't look like it's worth it. Better to get an asp-c sony camera, if you know you are shooting something today, or even one of the cheap older sony FFs with a prime 1.8 lens

[@techtoremember8096]

The difference comes down to the flexibility of a longer zoom. The physics and small lens on a cell phone still do not allow a good long zoom without digital assistance. Most cell phones also still do not have 1" sensors so the dynamic range will be better on these 1" sensor cameras. For quick snapshots and the convenience of using your phone, definitely, that's why these smaller cameras are dying out. But there are some folks who see the value in having "something more" than a phone with a stronger optical zoom but don't want to carry around a full frame mirrorless setup.

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

[@DJCJ999]

I just sold my rx100 mk3.. it had the faster lens.. Side by side it matched my iPhone 14 Pro in good light so it begged the question.. why bother with a “real” camera when smart phone snaps just work? That said I love photography and I am considering the mark7 but I just have that niggle that my smart phone would be the better option (now I have a 15 pro).

[@techtoremember8096]

HI there To answer your question, its really because of the zoom. While they both can take great pictures at wide angle, having a larger lens, more glass, retractable lens with an optical zoom, still beats all cell phones in zoom quality and reach.

[@DJCJ999]

@@techtoremember8096 yeah the reach is where they stand apart.. smart phones look “ok” but once you start to crop, all the tricks are shown up and the images fall apart. I did think that my rx looked better once the images had been processed in lightroom but that’s an extra stage that the iPhone didn’t need (although further editing did yield ever better results). What compact camera, in your option is the best pocketable compact? I also have m4/3 lenses so even thought about slapping a prime on a older pen body?

[@techtoremember8096]

I still say the RX100VII is the best compact. I like the VF is there if you want it, still very good optics on the lens and a very nice zoom range out to 200mm! You can certainly use a 4/3 camera but of course, you have a bigger slightly heavier camera that will probably not fit in your pocket any more!!

[@jensz9360]

I have to say, Sony does have the focus that Canon lacks, but I think Canon is trying to address that with upcoming models. They seem to be putting a lot of their eggs in the R1 basket and have a lot riding on that camera and they have neglected almost everything else. Nikon seems to have dropped back its a match race between Sony and Canon. I have a feeling the Nikon Z9H is going to come out strong (IF it comes out, havent heard much about it, maybe they are working out the details in the lab) We'll see, if anyone knows anything about the Z9H comment here, not even sure if its official. Its an exciting year for mirrorless, no so much for the point and shoot.

[@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

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

I own both of them, as they're quite a good combo. The Canon plays in a different league in terms of ergonimics but the quality of the camera is quite questionable. Things like the ring at the lens feels so cheap and the wheel in the back tends to get malfunktions over the time. The display of the Canon is way nicer than the one of the Canon. The colors and the dynamik of the display are not comparable. Video is a huge problem with the Canon, as in 4k this thing overheats within 10min. The Sony runs until the limiter hits. Big plus for the Canon is the combination with it's digital IS in Video, it's buttery smooth. The Sony can't hold up here. Then the AF. The Canon AF is unreliable. You can't trust it. In video it's basically useless but for stills you have to have an I eye on it as it very often confirms that the AF has locked, but it wasn't focused at all. It happens completely random. The Sony is on point with it's AF. The thing with these to camera is, that the Sony is a tool and you feel it, when you use it. It's like operating a typical Sony pro body. On the other side the Canon. Canon could've build a cole to perfect compact. All the ingridients are there, but then they took the famous Canon cripple hammer out and crippled this camera in ways, where you just think wtf. Think about this, they don't let you shoot in burst mode when the electronic shutter is activated. They gave the G7X MKIII the mic-in, but not the G5X MKII. The annoying Af, the overheating in video. It's not because the cameras has not enough power, it is fast as fck. This is software that let the camera overheating. There are so many things they implemented to hold this camera back. This camera could have be so good.

You need a Power Delivery charger (USB-C to USB-C) to charge the Canon. I use my phone's charger for that and it works great. USB-A won't work.

[@techtoremember8096]

Thanks for that!

[@piotrlewandowski9268]

Canon's lens is faster, butter for photography. I have G5XII two years.

[@sigurdrille9693]

Thank you for that extensive comparison! Too bad those cameras seem forgotten by their brands…

[@johnhill6794]

Image quality, zoom, autofocus are most important considerations....Sony wins!

[@ronaldlee3537]

Yes, absolutely, I recommend the RX100-7, or the RX100-5a. I use my P&S cameras like a replacement DSLR or mirrorless camera, except that I can put it it my pocket. I had a Canon Powershot S100 and the Panasonic ZS50, and both failed after 2 years of hard use, and the companies to repair it, wanted more than half the cost of a new camera, not worth it. I bought the RX100-7 in 2020 and it is still going strong today. To me the RX100-7 was worth every penny. The only shortcoming that I can think off for the RX100-7 is that battery life, if you plan extensive use of it for either videos or photos be sure to have extra batteries, because it is a power hog. BTW for you Panasonic camera users if you ever need service for your camera, Panasonic has a contractor in the US, and they are awful to deal with, so caveat emptor.

Sooc, the pics from canon is so much better but the video is really shit.. what's the sensor size of the G5x?

[@techtoremember8096]

1” sensor on both cameras

[@markyteo]

@techtoremember8096 I should say that Canon photos look more pleasing to my eyes.

[@yd2712]

Not charging - The Canon can be picky on the cable and charger sued, needs some serious oomph behind it or the camera will not recognise it as charging.

[@techtoremember8096]

That is very true. I had no luck at all charging it with a cable.

[@psrfpsrf]

Having the old micro-USB at the Sony in 2024 is a NoGo.

[@renashbellrn]

Sony super expensive until now.

[@malanalan1]

And both cameras don't have a built-in GPS! Camera manufactures are digging their own grave.

[@techtoremember8096]

Yeah unfortunately GPS in cameras has been dropped for a long time Even the high end cameras don’t have it anymore -

[@simebarbarosa4256]

RX100VII is too old. No USB- C connector . Will soon be banned from Europeen Market !
