Sony RX100 VII | What a $1,199 Point and Shoot Gets You

[@juanjohnjaune2218]

I honestly dont know why I get such a kick out of watching camera stuff

[@Kii.an.a]

Ikr I wish I had these cameras though but I’m broke

[@baconpalacio]

Kick... flip.

[@madmixy3870]

for real and i don't own a camera past my phone lol

[@mayankkr.246]

Yeah, I don't even understand half of the technical terms

[@234cheech]

YER SAD

[@DJaquithFL]

Abandoned but not forgotten. Any of those cameras are considerably better than any phone's camera.

[@205g0]

but you can get an a6300 at this point

[@shinoMusic]

@@205g0 but the a6300 is not pocket size

[@Tuhueleamierda1991]

not anymore

[@DJaquithFL]

@@Tuhueleamierda1991 .. Not true. The lenses alone aren't even close. Every serious podcaster is using either a DSLR or mirrorless camera for good reasons. I'm not saying that you can't use a phone, the question is which is better especially if you have multiple cameras needed.

[@Tuhueleamierda1991]

@@DJaquithFL I thought we were talking about point and shoot cameras, like the one in the title..

“Listened to, foot rubs, and food” best sales pitch ever!!!

Limiting himself to just women might not have been the smartest move though given how many dudes watch this channel.

[@張睿紘-h4p]

It's always encouraging to hear you telling me that I don't need good camera to make good content! Through I really need to make good use of the advice and create content starting today!! Thanks for sharing life with us and wish you all the best!

[@imranhossainrumi7677]

Using RX100M6 for 8 months. And very good for go and shoot anything! Love this.

[@ConnorNolanTech]

Not gonna lie, wasn't expecting a Canon DSLR giveaway on a Sony point and shoot review.

[@EmoEmu]

Reviewing a Sony makes you want to give a Canon away.

[@EmoEmu]

Now imagine if I won the Canon camera for THAT comment. ;)

[@ConnorNolanTech]

@@EmoEmu here I was thinking it was because looking at Sony's makes you want a Canon. Jk, free is free, and I love that Gene still gives back to his community, especially on vids that have a sponsorship.

[@kuksenko116]

Honestly so glad i saw your channel. Helping answer the noob questions everyone has but no one answers.

[@GermainTV]

I just discovered your channel like 7 days ago because I needed someone who knows how it is to be on a budget and still keep on doing what you love. Thanks for that Gene! And that cam would be a really nice update to my.... well....nothing...remember that budget 😅

[@jt6096]

“Oh look at this bridge, it’s the perfect time to tell you to please send me that camera 📸 “ Thanks Potato Jet

[@artistjoh]

I love the RX100 VII but it is essential to add a bracket with finger grip and cold shoes, plus a stick-on 52mm filter thread which enables ND filters or a wide angle lens. With these add-ons the camera becomes awesome. A threaded 52mm filter stick-on is far better than the magnetic version. Too easy for things to get knocked off the magnets - no such problem for screwing the item onto a thread.

[@RealEstateByAlly]

Which ND filter do you recommend ?

[@vimalajayaprakash831]

You should do Sony rx100 vs iphone 11pro 😁

[@ChrisParayno]

I own the older mk4 version and he does have a point. While the range of optical is better than an iPhone 11, unless doing some "real" cinematic work with it, carrying a point and shoot is a pain the in the butt. It's all about using the camera that you have on you now a days.

[@LegendaryLife]

I was so excited to see the ND filter F2.8 look in the sun but you never did it! Seriously only person who fuels my visual curiosity is you!! Love you Potato Gene!!!

[@menghuy1139]

I love your channel so much

[@EZ-Perm]

In LA right now, capturing a lot of footage. it’s very nice, I thought I would see more arri Alexa’s on 50,000 gimbals with 5 boom mics dangling down, but glad to be in your home town. Also great vid

[@justjacobv]

I'm watching this video while having the economics lesson. That courage deserves to win the Canon Rebel T7! 😄🙋‍♂️

[@Erniversity]

Whats funny is 98 percenct of people wont notice if you film on a cinema camera or a iphone, the quality between 120fps and 900fps. Most people watch on their phone tablet or laptop and you will never notice unless your educated in the difference

[@GD3Media]

I still shoot everything in 1080 beacause 4k isnt worth the data for the everyday person imo.

[@SergioSanchez-ft4fn]

You and Peter, 2 of my favorite content creators together I'm so happy

the perfect mix of funny yet very informative,i'love your work man,keep them videos coming!!

[@ruudristola5556]

Hi! Im 15 years old, and just starting out with videography. The T7 seems like a very nice starters camera for me to begin with. At the moment I am filming with my crappy €100 Sony Cybershot, the T7 would be a huge upgrade!

[@slyfoxtv5306]

maybe you should try the T3i it is a rely good camera and it is not that much! I love mine.

[@mr.h3603]

I think when reviewing these pocket cameras, it's important to test how long it takes to startup/power on. These pocket cams are great but alot of times, the phones are much faster to capture the moment, especially comparing general shots in well lit areas, high end phones (in my opinion) will win hands down in terms of the speed to capture the moment, white balance etc etc.

[@mitchhifi9192]

Why I love my Ricoh GRx iii

[@AquibShaikh]

That T7 would be a fantastic little camera for getting started with my mom's cooking channel

[@johnchappe315]

I just want to say I really dig this channel. I would never buy this camera, but I was like, "hmm I'm interested to see what potato thinks." I've also had a rough day and I donno why, watching camera related videos helps get my mind off of things. So thanks for being an all-round dope channel!

[@othinus]

I'd use the T7 as a Distance Camera for reading whiteboards in school. I have Low Vision in my left eye and blind in my right. Great Content, Potates!!

[@niklascompans]

The size was the reason i bought the Sony A6300 - then I bought the 18-105... now it's big 😂

[@PixelSheep]

How do you like the 6300 so far? I'm thinking about getting it on Black Friday.

[@niklascompans]

@@PixelSheep I really like it. If you are more into filmmaking I would suggest to grab an Alpha with IBIS. It's not THAT necessary though, so if you're on a budget the A6300 will work perfecly.

[@AquaSplendor]

Upgrade my Canon T2i, from potato to french fries.

[@WitchVulgar]

Potato LUTs? LUTatoes? Was that enough for me to win a new camera?

[@sabarudinhashim6592]

Whoa....dude! I was just searching for a review on the Sony RX100 VII on YOUR channel literally three days ago, hoping there was one. There wasn’t one yet then. Today , YT alerted me of this review. It’s like you read my mind!! Anyway, Great review as always. Probably get this camera with Zhiyun CRANE-M2 :))

[@bestlightimagesphotography]

Love my RX100vii. I just purchased the Crane M2. Can't wait to pair the two.

[@CalvinHicks1]

You didn’t show us how you finally attached the external mic to the Sony. You said you’d probably need something to make it possible, but you didn’t show what you used. Anyway, thanks for the review!

[@Tangobaldy]

Calvin Hicks you use a micro USB connector. Best to use a separate device for sound like zoom h5. Don't buy this camera. It's over priced and flawed and a pay to use device.check out proper reviews and the app reviews. WiFi connection awful, NFC tag does nothing

[@JozefRaiche]

If I won the canon T7 I would use it as a second camera so that my videos could have two angles. Keep making great videos!

[@8bitZoe]

Mmmm let me see, bmpcc4k or Sony Rx100, why so expensive!

[@RiceCubeTech]

Smaller technology, versatile lens, better AF. Muuuuch better photography potential too. Similar low light cuz it's a bsi sensor. Learn before you speak lol. Different cameras for two very different things. Also the bmpcc doesn't include a lens in that base 1200 price and jeeds to be rigged for it to work well.

[@ScottPDX]

Glad to know my G7X Mk ii still hangs in there. I miss 120p, but convenience is nice. Always enjoy you and your crew hanging out, even though they left you.

[@ashwinthnair9210]

[@mananjoshi1289]

Literally like no one :-.......... Every two week POTATO JET:- this is the best camera in market 😂😀😅😓😭

[@BrockLocker]

With the way Sony has been dropping cameras lately, sometime it be that way

[@DirectorsGarage]

Get a Small Rig cage. It will protect the RX from falls and mount a flash shoe to mount the external mic. I use mine this way all the time. I like the Diety mics over the Rode. By the way, the RS-100V (a steal now that it's 2 models old) has a much faster, though shorter, lens.

[@MollyFitzBrown]

I have also been hunting for this perfect camera! I am really LOVING this new rx100M7 but ALSO loving my new iPhone 11 Pro!

[@frozenhacks401]

Worth getting the Sony if you have that iPhone? I'm keen

[@MollyFitzBrown]

I actually got the Sony a couple weeks before ordering the iPhone (not realizing I'd be upgrading soon) but I still really love the sony for the zoom and ease of adding a little external mic and the pic quality is above and beyond! But I'm really loving the new 4k front facing phone camera, a lot wider than before and very stable for walking and talking, really helps make the phone a great vlogging camera! I've been working on some videos about both cameras :)

[@numberbender]

I wish I found this video when the give away happend :( I just needed a camera right now to record a good quality math lessons for my students... and for the teachers I am training in becoming content creator for their virtual classes next school year. I am a fan and thanks for creating highly informative tech content for guys like me. keep on inspiring, man!

[@Chaosbird87]

Tbh I've seen many classes or other likewise stuff for YT filmed on anything like iPhone XS or 11 Pro or something. Indoor shooting with a tripod and a good setup I really don't see much difference between the newer iPhone and a camera. Just if it could help :)

[@KOKOBC]

Honestly any modern flagship smartphone will shoot video that just as good in a controlled environment with good lighting. The reason why the quality is bad is probably because of bad lighting, you should master lighting techniques before upgrading your camera. If you are upgrading for better quality, you might as well go all out such as an A7III, A7IV or even A7SIII. If you don’t want to spend full-frame money, then get the A6100, A6400, or a6600 depending on your budget of course. I think interchangeable lens camera will be a better option just in case you want to change up your setup in the future.

[@sebAstian-xp3kw]

[@DavidDrivesElectric]

What I really appreciate that you are independent enough to make your reviews honest and speak your true opinion. And of course you have so much experience with various cameras so it comes from a solid background. Keep going!

[@spiderwayne]

I still have my RX100 V which has 1.8 to 2.8 and I love it but I always said the day Sony puts out one with a mic I'd get it. Unfortunately it's no longer a 1.8 so I guess it's a tradeoff. I guess I'll have to keep my old one and get the new one for the touch screen, mic and longer zoom. As for adding a filter you can also go with Lensmate but the magnetic one you are using by magfilter looks interesting. Thanks for the great videos!

[@BurningDrake39]

I love you're videos man. They make me feel like I also know all the thing you say, as if I am an expert.

Phones are absurdly convenient... and I can't make peace with the ways they distort the human face. I mostly take photos of the people I love, and with shots on the phone I don't quite recognize the AI-geometry-corrected faces, so I don't connect emotionally with the images. Point-and-shoot FTW!
