Sony RX100VII Two Weeks Later | Literally Everything YOU Could Want in a Camera!

[@uhcoogie5775]

Spot on review. I’m here reporting 3 years later that I’ve invested in this workhorse line of mighty point-and-shoots. I am amazed and inspired creatively about what I can do with this “small, discreet travel camera.” Because of this solid history of this line, there are so many great accessories for it and I’m having a good time building it out. So far the SmallRig cage, Mag ND filter attachment and RS3 Mini are about to rock my world. 😄

[@JustinPulitzerTrades]

It would be amazing if you did an Rx100 VII Vs. RX100 V. challenge video. See which one is better in different conditions, especially since you miss the ND filter.

[@RedButtonJournal]

Ordered my camera and a JJC filter adhesive ring and a ND variable filter. Your reviews have encouraged me to do so.

[@sizzlemann]

Hey, could you please do a video quality comparison between the RX100vii and the A6400? I'd love to know how it stacks up against it's bigger brother.

[@Hiking-guide-and-scenery]

Hi, incidentely I had the same question and I did the test! I had the 6400 with the 2 kit lenses and the Zeiss 16-70. I compared them and found the Zeiss was better than the kit 16-50 but the 55-210 was better then the Zeiss in the 55-70 range. Also I compared the a6400/Zeiss16-70 with the RX100m6, and the RX100m6 won! I will do 2 videos in a week or 2 about these. Anyway, for me considering also the gain in weight and space and money, it is RX100m6 or 7!

[@nyobunknown6983]

The A6400 will have better high ISO IQ while the RX100vii will be far more convenient and a much better travel camera.

[@nofood1]

Its the ultimate camera. Will buy this camera ASAP. I carry my RX100 V absolutely everywhere!(stopped using DSLR's years ago) The ND is not an issue for me since I only shoot at night but wouldn't hurt to have. Im also in need of more zoom and the mic jack is a plus!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks Gary definitely thinking about swooping one up soon to replace my G7Xmii

[@TheEverydayDad]

Nice! Yeah this is by far the best point and shoot camera I’ve ever used 👍

[@boutthere3374]

Think I commented on another vid of yours about this camera and here, again, I agree. There have been times that I had to resort from my A7III to my gopro because of size weight issues and I finally snapped and picked up this rx100m7. I should have done it sooner. This camera is my new secret weapon.Cheers.

[@marcdesilva1644]

Seriously wondering what Sony will do with the Rx100 Mark viii

[@EyebrowBrown]

Nothing yet ;(

[@MikeLikesChannel]

@@EyebrowBrownand 4 years later, nothing yet. VII was probably the end of the road. Next cameras with a 1 inch sensor will probably be on iPhones and androids.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Great stuff...trying to find an English version of this camera in Japan! It's the answer to my minimalist, carry on only travel vlogger dreams!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Honestly it really is, I can’t believe all the good stuff they packed in here 🤯

[@30AndAWakeUp]

@@TheEverydayDad I'd give them my pinky toe for an ND filter though!! That close to perfect...that close!

[@raksh9]

Did you end up getting a RX100 VII? Was it what you hoped it would be?

[@PhotoGearFun]

I love mine so much. Got the magnetic ND filter kit, the Saramonic mic, and that amazing Crane M2 Gimbal. Add a USB battery pack to the gimbal via an arm or ball head and you good to go. Great setup.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I do need to get one of those magnetic filters, I think that will make it the perfect travel setup 👍

[@CCWLONGSHOT]

I wish Sony made a really durable and rugged version of this. Would be perfect for backpacking and adventure travel.

[@TheEverydayDad]

That would be great, might add some bulk and price but I’m all for more durability 👍

[@kevint9496]

This. This is going to be our travel camera and i am terrified of a random rain cloud sneaking up on me. Anyone ever use one of these point and shoots in the rain and how did it turn out.

[@pahwraith]

@@kevint9496 I'd use my GoPro in the rain. Keep the RX in a waterproof bag.

[@nofood1]

I use the SmallRig cage, not the best but it's something.

[@fishtherapy100]

Ever thought about putting it in a camera pouch? Photographers in war zones use normal cameras. Are you just one one those people who always wants something else. a bore.

[@Scooter-dm3qo]

When you look at the cost you really have to take in mind the Power and Capabilities packed into this tiny camera. Seriously, a Stacked Sensor with what may be the best AF system made is well worth the premium. The only item I would change is the lens to one with a wider aperture f1.8 to 2.8 would be quite sweet. I'll also note that an aperture that closes to f16 or f22 would be nice if it's possible. Yeah diffraction would be an issue but if you are shooting for subject motion it really wouldn't be that noticeable.

[@LouisLuzuka]

My question is what about this compared to the rx100 VA ? I want that 1.8 is it worth the price of savings compared to the 7?

[@elijahmodnar1]

Since I got it in late October, I’ve always had the magnetic UV filter on it and swap it out to ND filter when needed. The “R2” Rubber grip is a must

[@XanderEwald]

I was settled on buying this camera until the iPhone Pro Max with the ultra wide lens was announced. It might be enough for everyday vlogging.

[@MegaWoodswalker]

Wonder if there is a shotgun mic solution for mounting with the flip up screen? How is the low light stabilization? Thumbs up on the video!

[@2redrods]

Small rigs cage

[@GavinSeim]

Yes for ND filters. But would not want to go above f11 anyways here. Most lenses lose image quality rapidly at anything above that. Better to use too fast a shutter for video that f22. Good review.

[@DIYYALL]

What a great review. I love your energy. Thanks for sharing this. New subscriber here.

[@pascalflor]

So, has your opinion changed in purchasing one over the A6400?

[@rynalogy]

100% agree with your opinion!

[@markandannette]

I believe I will buy one!

[@sglivetv]

Great review, Everyday Dad! You can mount accessories easily atop the RX100 without a cage or bracket by using the Manfrotto Pico Clamp MC1990A + Ulanzi PT-3S.

[@BayardoRugama]

What’s the video record limit at 1080p 60FPS

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

There is none , until the battery dies but I use a dummy battery and USB battery pack for up to 20 hours of filming. You can turn off the temp on the VII and film 4k for over an hour

[@armando.visuals]

Watching this in august 2020 and I wish I saw this video before I bought my mirrorless camera. I got a Canon M6 mark ii and I looove this camera but I realize that for the footage and videos I make something for compact wouldve been better and easier to carry around and travel with. ONLY thing I wish is that it had and Fstop as low as 1.8 and ND filter. BUT! that wouldve been to perfect of a camera and of course I think sometimes they purposely don't give us the perfect camera so we can keep buying more. Love the videos.

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

Man this is an incredible little camera. That price though😯...might as well get a full frame lol.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah it’s pretty expensive but it does absolutely everything you could want 🤯

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

You find me a full frame that is pocketable and powers up this fast I'll buy it but until then, both my RX100's are the shizznit

[@AdrianLardPhoto]

@Adrian 220482Lol I didn't miss anything. I understand all of that. I just stated my opinion. I think its a great camera.

[@dvdaltizer]

could you imagine what sony could do now with a VIII? !!!! i don't think they ever will now that ZV1 is the new norm

[@chris_urra]

What remote are you using at 4:00 to control the RX100VII? By the way: i got the camera to record for more than 2 hours in 4K outside with high temperatures, but windy conditions. Screen was separated from the body. No overheating. You can see the test video on my channel.

[@berelentless2572]

Is the Sony rx100 Mark v still a good camera to buy?

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

Yes but I'd get the VA, slightly faster

[@jeremyp1752]

Thanks for your research ! After much deliberation between Canon G7x III and Sony a6400, I'm set on the Sony RX100 Mark VII !

[@petername9344]

Hey Everyday Dad! Is the stabilization the same, better or worse than the GoPro 8? Thanks for your help and great video!

[@JoyRyChonrada]

Is this lens macro or something?

[@alexsystems2001]

I used your affiliate link to amazon to re-order mine because the place I ordered my 1st one though still hasn’t even processed my return and they have had my camera for 2 days now and I shipped it back last week. I hope it helps!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Well thanks so much!

[@alexsystems2001]

The Everyday Dad I just think it’s funny and wanted to update you because I really really want to get my hands on an RX100VII that I can use. I expedited my shipping from amazon, it was scheduled to arrive today. It’s been delayed too. 🤣 I just can’t seem to get one quickly. I’m like $2500 into these cameras and have none.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Man the world is not helping you out getting one in, I hope it gets to you soon 👍

[@AmyiReport]

How's the battery life? Would the camera heat up when shooting 4K? Man....after watching your video, this Sony camera is on my wishlist now. I bought the Lumix G9 because watched your video, now you are making me buy again (not yet) 🤣🤣 Maybe next year. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tech4YourNeeds]

I’m buying this camera I saving my coins for it.

[@TheEverydayDad]

It’s pretty darn good 👍

[@justonbrazda3846]

If you can only get One. Rx100vii, a6400 16-55 kit, or a6600 with no lens? I already have an a7riii with several ff lenses.

[@marche4976]

Torn on whether to get this or the mark 6? are the upgrades worth it? The 4k recording time and autofocus upgrade? Personally I dont need the mic jack. Also when you say it can record for 30mins long. Does that mean after 30mins its battery is drained? or it needs to cool down? Because If i have a spare battery does that mean i can record for almost an hour long or not safe?

[@michaelhuidobro1779]

If you please, could you give me the name of the gimble you use. Thanx.

[@harrisonkay575]

Worth the upgrade over the 6 I’m no camera guy just use it on holidays

[@LarryBouley1]

Have you thought about a grip? I have the Sony AGR2 grip and makes it so much easier to handle.

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

Get a Smartrig cage. Got one for my RX100 V and the one for my VII is on backorder

[@ejavenger]

I love mine but this thing seriously needs an ND filter. Still researching the best one for it.

[@TheEverydayDad]

That’s the one thing that this camera is missing. With a built in Nd it’s basically perfect....but expensive 🤣

[@mikepotapa5773]

If you find a good one let us know, I’m also in the market for an ND filter.

[@omarknowsphotos]

I got the lensmate kit and use one of my regular 3 stop NDs. Did a little vloggy thing at a con in Toronto last week with my friends that I uploaded for kicks. If it was outdoors, it was shot with the ND on. I kind of want to get a variable ND but so far the 3 stop has been good enough, and it's easy enough to pop off when it gets dark.

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

I used the glass from a welding helmet as my first ND filter on my Pentax K1000

[@2redrods]

Bw variable ..5 stop on mine

[@Ubberwun]

So now that we know you have the rx100vii + M2, make sure you cover ease of run and gun with camera locked on gimbal. Really want to know how quick it can be unlocked and used.

[@2redrods]

Can be carried on a shoulder strap and with camera in place and setup in less than 30 seconds , just one screw to undo

[@hondaxdood]

Just started to research compact p&s cameras. Have you tested the Sony ZV-1? Seems like it addresses a couple of your major gripes and cheaper!

[@RealTechnoPanda]

That "180 Degree Rule" is BS unless you are cinematographer in which case you wouldn't be using this camera to begin with.

[@stefpix]

Are the AF and stabilization a lot better than on the RX100 V and VA? Do you still have the V? +TheEverydayDad

[@judasblewit]

Waiting for m8

[@southernstar1367]

i have a KZbin channel and I shoot sailing video. Been using an Iphone 6plus I want to upgrade. What are your thoughts on this camera (RX100-VII), the Zv-1 or the Canon M50? Thanks so much...your channel is awesome!!!

[@jcruz617]

Nice!! Found my camera! Thanks!!

[@TheEverydayDad]

That’s awesome I hope it works out for you 😁👍

[@PiotrWojnowski]

Did you use it with a Smallrig cage? :) I think it makes this tiny camera even more powerful :)

[@a55tech]

rx100m7 vs hx99 video?

[@colingregg]

Great review but do you find the combination of 4K plus the Crane M2 makes the monitor so dark it is almost impossible to work in bright conditions. Certainly a big issue in the RX100M6.

[@harrisonkay575]

I have the 6 for the price it needs a Nd filter only thing I don’t like but the quality and build is second to none love it

[@shakeelkhanvw-fl5825]

You forget to mention its overheating problem. Even though you can shoot in 4k for a long period of time as you did for 34 minutes, i heard it overheats after 5 minutes of 4k and shuts down. Is it true? Did you experience anything like this?

[@TheEverydayDad]

What? How could it overheat after 5 minutes of I got it to record for 34 minutes?

[@walterhernandez4358]

I'm literally fixing to pay for mine. It is going to be one and only camera, I will be using it more for pictures than video, but occasionally will be recording video and would prefer it to be 4k. Is there a better camera for around the same or better price for full package? Please enlighten me!

[@romyv1077]

Dang! You convinced me to order this camera after watching your video ;-)

[@TheEverydayDad]

It’s a fantastic little point and shoot 👍

[@Sonstwer]

Which camera do you prefer, this one or the Panasonic Lumix gh5 (and yes I'm certain each of those has pros and cons depending on use). If you had to decide for just one camera for life, which would it be?

[@TheEverydayDad]

Easily the GH5 👍

[@Sonstwer]

@@TheEverydayDad Thanks, and thanks for answering really fast. I enjoy your channel and your reviews. Keep up the good work!

[@ef58jnr]

Nice , but why so few people talk about photo instead of video?

[@gregsimmons1709]

Just watched this again. I’d like it twice if I could, LOL!

[@hunterthomas2666]

what was the gimble you were mentioning using?

[@himanshutech1349]

Hey, Can you help me Witch picture profile best for vlogging and normal youtube video like you with normal color grading

[@kevint9496]

Should i get a used VI for about 750$ or spend the extra money and get the VII?

[@tomowens7499]

love your vids... i own several sony cameras including a7iii and rx100va. the rx100 is with me pretty much always since i recently bought it (dec) yesterday it wasn't all the way clicked onto the ball head of my tripod and fell onto my coffeetable. it's zoom was out and it landed on the lens at an angle and forced the lens into a crooked position, ruining it... i'm sick about it. i've contacted sony for help but with everyone shut down because of coronavirus i don't know when they'll get back to me about what to do. anyhow, because of this i'm here on yt watching vids on compact cameras... if i had to buy it again regardless of price i'd stay with the mark v. the nd and wide aperture are unbeatable. i ALSO use a mag filter on bright days so i can stay wide open... i love this camera and hope it can be repaired....

[@pascalflor]

Just wondering, for this price, go for a GH5 instead?

[@raksh9]

You would still need lenses for the GH5, and depending on the quality you want, the lens could cost almost as much as the camera body. And if you want to shoot fast action stills in good light, the VII will have far better autofocus and burst mode. A GH5 wont fit in your pocket or in a tiny belt pouch, either.

[@CREEPINGIRON]

Since the mk8 could be of similar price, and technology gets cheaper the longer we have it, we can hope there will be an ND filter on the next model.

[@OzzieTech]

Got my tax return and go8ng to finally get me one :)

[@erol218]

Hey dude, did you forget HLG?

[@adamtheentrepreneur7477]

You are an inspiration! I could only wish that my dad would be like you. Please Heart this is you love your fans. #NotificationSquad

[@2redrods]

Do I keep iso locked at 100 and keep the f numbers down by using an nd filter , or just use auto iso and let the f number do what they like thanks? Advice needed please

[@ChristianLawrence]

Thanks for the review, cant wait to get mine. Coupled with the rode wireless go, it's a no brainer for vlogging. 👌👌. Feel i might need a cage though,its still.kind if small for my hands 😊🤣

[@2redrods]

Shouldn’t shutter speed be 1/120 with the 60p 50m setting ?

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yep it should 👍

[@2redrods]

The Everyday Dad thanks for that what about iso and nd filter won’t they fight each other if left in auto ?

[@Michael_Lak]

Well I was going to buy the GH5 but I think I will now get this. I have a LUMIX TZ110 so I can use that for the 4K crop panning videos.

[@nyobunknown6983]

The size and complexity of the lens doesn't leave room for an ND filter. $1200 isn't bad. I have $7000 invested in my FF camera and lenses.

[@alexsystems2001]

Thank you for the updates! I ordered mine, had to send it back due to a dead pixel on the screen... 🙁. They told me not to use it unless I don’t want it exchanged, it’s got to arrive like new to them. 2-3 weeks... before I see a new one. I’m missing out 😶 I paid to expedite mine and everything, got it next day to send it back and not have one for 2-3 weeks. I even called Sony and they told me 2-3 weeks as well. It’s disappointing because I did nothing wrong but I lost my expedited money, my $1200 is tied up until I get another one.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Dang that stinks, hope they get it fixed for you soon 👍

[@alexsystems2001]

The Everyday Dad I hope so too thank you! I’m still excited about it though 😄

[@geriapoz]

video très sympa qui confirme mon achat

[@TheSookean]

I have one on order to go with my RX10m4 👍

[@SamSung-nf6tr]

I'll wait until the IX, then it will be in my price range.😎

[@MikeLikesChannel]

Well that didn’t happen.

[@2redrods]

By adding a nd filter do I have to keep iso at 100 instead of auto ?

[@timgalletas3856]

Good video. Ever since I bought the iPhone 11 Pro, I haven’t touched any of my cameras. There’s definitely something wrong with me. I know. I’m afraid to buy another camera. Don’t get me wrong a cell phone is not the same, carrying lenses, batteries etc it’s becoming annoying. I know. Like I said there’s totally something wrong with me. I do like how compact this Sony is, and I’m contemplating getting it because of convenience.

[@MikeLikesChannel]

To this day your phone still can’t hang at 200mm and produce a usable image at the zoo, for example.

[@قناةبسيطةجداللمبتدئين]

Very gooood👍👍👍

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks so much!

[@animuguy]

Is it better than a6400?

[@circuitsandcigars1278]

I own a V and got the VII to keep it company. I'm using the V primarily for pics but have used it for filming concerts at night along with an audio recorder. Love the VII and frankly raising the iso to 3200 compensated for the f2.8 with some denoising in post. You should see the looks when I use both oh and GET THE SMARTRIG but the one for the VII is on backorder till Oct 10th grr

[@Megamare1]

Negatives👉🏽 slippery so the ergonomics, weird Sony menu layout, battery life too & no weather proofing but yeah a little power house for sure 👌🏽💪🏽💪🏽💯📸

[@HappyHubris]

Buy the grip for $15 (AGR2) and you're all set.

[@jasonbascos]

Is the electronic stabilization that works so well available to be used in 4K, 24fps? Thanks.

[@BarryMaskell]

Just buy the Lensmate filter attachment

[@azfotog1]

I got excited about the Canon G7x Mkt III and pre-ordered it but after a week of use I returned it and my Sony RX100 VII arrives today. I am excited!

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

if the Olympus OM-D E-M5 MkIII is a turd, I'm getting one of these.

[@seacow2001]

Still prefer the 5. Got it for cheap with the advice from your video.

[@Gil_Gilbert]

No ND is def. a deal breaker with 4K 30 for that price.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

For 1200 bux you might as well get the A6400 and 16mm 1.4. Its not worth it honestly

[@Hawtload]

sounds like the V is the way to go

[@therawtruthfamily9988]

John Bishop yeah i found one on Craigslist for about 400$ Barely used. excellent condition 👌

[@bingbong4848]

Yeah but can it take pictures? :)

No it takes photographs

[@charleseduardo8094]

It took some doing to get you away from the V.

Face out of focus - T-shirt in focus.

[@bryanbuff]

Battery life isn’t a CON?

[@TheEverydayDad]

Not really and I didn’t consider it a con because all point and shoot cameras have roughly the same battery life.

[@bryanbuff]

The Everyday Dad Ah, makes sense.

[@robertsanchez5187]

Who should buy this and who should buy a mirror less a6600

[@sreejithmohanv85]

Not even a single mention of portrait photography

[@spanspan8034]

Then is a YES or NOT??????

[@dannyly]

If the a6600 were the same price as the rx100 vii, which would you get?

[@TheEverydayDad]

If I could only have one single camera? Probably the a6600. I like having an interchangeable lensed camera as my primary just because of how versatile they are.

[@JeffBourke]

yes 4k video BUT 5 minutes recording ONLY. fuck that.

[@JeffBourke]

i stand corrected. but aren't there restrictions on "high temp mode"??? you have to use it with a tripod?

[@TheEverydayDad]

Nope

[@JeffBourke]

The Everyday Dad thanks dad 😂😂😂
