[@ABuckz]

This is the ONLY comparison video, between these two cameras, that strongly persuades me which to buy and why. Good stuff!

[@EA-Stewie]

This really helped me decide between the two! Thank you so much!

[@TheSookean]

Every video I see about the RX100m7 leaves me more impressed with it. I rarely shoot low light so the 1” sensor doesn’t bother me at all. The RX100m7 is going to be a nice dancing partner for my RX10m4.

[@lina.lecompte]

this was super helpful!! the autofocus on the RX100 is SOOO much better, genuinely don't understand how Canon screwed up so badly... I've seen tests where the G7X Mark II has better autofocus than the mark iii which doesn't make sense to me. The price difference is a huge bummer, but looks like saving up for the RX100 might be the better decision in the long run... or even getting the G7X Mark II at the lower price it is at now. thank u! would be awesome if you could do a G7X Mark ii vs. G7X Mark iii comparison!

[@discoverwithstephanie]

Please do a video on the perfect vlog set up for the Sony RX100 VII 🙏 This video helped me choose between the both, love how detailed you get with the comparisons. Thanks so much! 😀

[@nohandle-01]

Thank you for this. I sold an RX100IV a couple of months ago to get something a tad better and came across the G7 XIII so it blew my mind when you said it probably has the same inners as the RX100iv. Saved me the hassle and disappointment.

[@TheHeatingEngineer]

Very helpful comparison. Well done and thanks.

[@pharmerpnw]

Awesome review! Thank you!

[@Mikeb813]

i know this video is a couple of years old.. but, i was in the market just now trying to decide between these 2x cameras as they are both still available.. this review really helped me make up mind --so i pulled the trigger on a gently used Sony RX100M7.. appreciate your real world analysis.. great video!

[@richardbottslotsandmore5696]

Another Great video....I never miss a notification...I like these small cameras....I'm still able to make my casino slot videos on my ozmo pocket.....It works great...it smooths out my videos and the small size doesn't draw much attention...I was considering buying a small camera but not sure I need it...lol....Thanks again...

[@liormars]

Honestly the best comparison I’ve seen. Thank you

[@DiegoxMarce]

so many good comments are made about these point and shoot that we are considering swapping a mirrorless for one of these for travel.

[@pherrishill2570]

Excellent comparison mate !

[@Pharesm]

Good review! Keeping it to the key relevant topics :D subscribed! My favorite part: you delivered the knock-out to the Canon already at 4:03, saving me time in my already crammed day! I could deal with the video drawbacks on the Canon and I would have loved Canon's ergonomics, I'm sure. But bad auto focus for vlogging - ehh, no thanks, I don't have time for re-takes and dicking around in post, trying to cut out focus fails.

[@TobiLotta]

hi thank you very much for that video. i have a question and hopefully you can reply. im just wondering for HOW LONG you can record continuous 4K Videos after the recording stops with the Sony RX100 VII . i tought there is kind of a limitation on 4k video? can you tell more about that please?

[@TeddyWalla]

The limitation is heat. The camera stops recording when it senses that the internal temperature is too high. There is a setting to basically ignore this sensor and keep recording.

[@ZafarDidit]

Thanks, man! Greate comparison

[@TheEverydayDad]

Thanks!

[@TravelwithTommy]

Great review of this Canon & Sonny camera.

[@harrisonkay575]

Got the mark 6, love it. Only thing I don’t like is no ND filter and wish it was 1.8 not 2.8 don’t really need all that zoom.

[@DiligenceMichael]

You are awesome!! Thank you!!

[@robcoventry574]

Agree with your assessment of the G7X III. I sent mine back. :-( I wonder why no one reviews the Photo capabilities of these point and shoot cameras. The main reason I bought the G7X was for the faster zoom lens as a point and shoot. Unfortunately, their CR3 raw files are not interpreted by Lightroom very well - too much noise. On top of the video problems, I couldn’t take it.

[@EinzMY]

there's plenty of g7x iii reviews on the photo capabilities. most of them says the corner is soft at 24mm and also soft at 100-120mm tele. Most importantly tracking and autofocus is way below rx100 from last 3 years.

[@greggusan]

Just found this channel. Great content and style! Was wondering a few things: What are the biggest differences between the rx100 V and the rx100 Vll? From the get go, I think I like the lens on offer in V. Also it has a built in ND filter. But I assume the Vll has improved in many ways over the V. Just wondering what you think. Have a chance to buy a used V for a nice price, but wondering if Ishould just bite the bullet and buy the Vll? (Mostly for a travel/street photography, and occasional video) And what external mic would you recommend for the Vll? Thanks in advance.

[@CaptainGPS]

Very informative.. thanks

[@marwazisiagian6850]

"We are not playing Contra here!"

[@ocmotivator]

I’d love you to do an update comparison to the G7x iii after the firmware update. I just can’t get my head around spending $550 more for better autofocus and lose my built in ND filter and time lapse features. I updated my g7x iii a few days ago and am satisfactorily impressed with the autofocus. But curious still on a comparison. I expect the Sony wins of course but $550 worth?

[@SusumoKakinotane]

@TheEverydayDad Thanks a lot for the video, super useful and very detailed info. I felt very related because I want a very small compact camera to record a travel that I am doing, and for me my main camera is still my phone. So, what phone do you use? Do you think a good combo will be the Sony RX100 VII, GoPro 11, and my main phone? an S22

[@EchDeeSee]

Rx100VII IS JUST INSANE!! 👍🏻

[@kiddd74]

Sony RX-100 mk vii is my first camera purchase. Not disappointed at all!

[@ryh1188]

It would be amazing if Sony could release a camera similar to the RX100 V but just with the external mic input and without the 4K recording capabilities. Personally I’m not really interested in shooting 4K, but having that external mic input would be amazing for me! I’m sure that would also bring the price down as well sigh :(

[@lina.lecompte]

any way you could make an update on the G7X Mark III since the new firmware update came out?

[@thenotoriousvlog5986]

Agreed

[@bestlightimagesphotography]

Looking forward to more videos. This is my first Sony and I'm just getting into video.

[@TheEverydayDad]

There will be plenty more 👍 it’s expensive for what it is but I absolutely think it’s one of the best travel video cameras ever made.

[@bestlightimagesphotography]

@@TheEverydayDad I travel a lot to Chicago to visit my daughter. This will definitely be my travel camera for stills and videos of her marathon events.

[@Danielle-tx2es]

that was amazing thanks

[@dronevideotravel7518]

Thank,you,very much for sharing ;)))

[@zyxyuv1650]

G7X III reminds me of going back to the days of the RX100 III when autofocus was bad. Although the Canon costs less, it's a bad use of money because you end up with something that is only partially working. Failing autofocus for a point and shoot makes the camera less useful and versatile. I've had cameras like that in the past, they end up feeling paper-weighty, they don't last and get sold off.

[@TheEverydayDad]

I definitely agree with you that it’s a bad investment if it doesn’t work no matter the price 👍

[@AmyNeville]

Can you do a comparison video with the a6400 vs RX100 vii please :) trying to decide before black friday.. I want good autofocus, speed and good night shots.. just a beginner so not sure about lenses yet..

[@PabloRubio]

When the HX version of this rx100 VII come to the market it will be the check mate for the G7X series

[@syrahope2387]

I just bought sony Rx100 M7...your video helped me to decide😅

[@TheBoatHeng]

Wow G7X has a lot blurry background than the Rx100, now I know which one I want. Thanks for this video.

[@EinzMY]

G7x iii also blurry due to slow autofocus and soft 4k video. ;)

[@xavierbonhomme7273]

[@berelentless2572]

Are u going to compare the Canon g5X mark ii against the Sony Rx1000 VII

[@tombuck]

The ONLY downside to the RX is its price. Otherwise, it absolutely dominates in every other area. 💪

[@gregsimmons1709]

Excellent!!

[@FourRTravel]

Now I want Sony RX100 vii already 🤣🤣🤣

[@voidpulsegaming]

Other than this Sony what other cameras stack up against the G7x mk3 ? I’m looking into vlogging and I already have an external mic I’m just wondering what I should be looking for.

[@saidasavage]

Umm. Good content but when the cameras were switching back and forth it would’ve been nicer to have the Brand Names on the screen ass well since they are easier to recognize and read. I missed a lot of what you said because I was trying to remember which model is which brand.

[@DenizF]

So which one should I get for vlogs and my KZbin videos?

[@mkoenig57]

What's your thoughts on G7x iii vs older RX100's? I had the RX100 V and got very frustrated with the menus, having to buy apps for it, buying a grip... so fiddly! The Sony was so frustrating to use. Sold it for the G7X mk iii. After the firmware update, the G7X iii is so fun to use! Great audio, great controls, touch to pull focus etc. Super easy to manual focus and pause autofocus when needed. That said, the 1080 video quality is really disappointing. To get nice sharp video, I have to record in 4K neutral profile, sharpen in post, then render to 1080. Seriously considering going back to the RX100V for the beautiful 1080 video, but dreading the Sony interface. When rendered at 1080, the G7X iii video shot in 4K is SIGNIFICANTLY better. The 4K is very nice too - just didn't want to dedicate to a 4K workflow.

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

What audio device do you use withe the RX100 VII? Thx

[@troyorem]

I felt like the skin tones for the vlogging test were far better with the Sony.

[@drrkleut]

The Sony is nice when it works. I’ve had RX100iii, Rx100iv, and RX100V. No, I got them not because I’m rich and bought a newer model when it came out. I got a newer model because the old one started having problems. Always the flash was the first to stop working because it’s thin and fragile power supply lines broke. Then the autofocus followed. I always set the image quality fairly high, about 10M for each photo on average. The result was excellent even when the images were blown up to fill a 65” TV. Now all the photos I take look good on the camera but grainy on a 17” notebook, looking more like 2M photos. I checked the property of these photos and they all still occupied an average of 10M space each. I really like the overall performance of RX100 series over Canon cameras although I always prefer the color of the Canon. Now I realize that I have to start to argue why I have to buy a new Sony in less than two years. I’m going to get a Canon this time and see if it lasts longer. BTW, check out Joe Rogan experience #1245.

[@MegaWoodswalker]

AF or infinity focus is key for outdoors content.

[@candyacosta1021]

I have a big question? I just got me Cannon power shot G7 Mark lll this camera is already 6 years old,in the market is it worth it to have now? Thank you

[@douwe4549]

question, because the canon looks really soft, or is it outa focus...how does it sharpen up, as there apc does that very nice?

[@20DDan]

glad i saw your video!!!!! I was about to buy a G7X III tomorrow BUT now I'm going for sony... so what if I spend more... I hate having to focus on the focus when I'm recording my kids.

[@tinaavantis6900]

Did you bet it 20DDan? Concidering getting one of these cameras. Will take pictures mostly of a 4-yearold.

[@AshleyChen]

I want to do blogging but idk which camera to get. Because if I get a Sony, I’m basically getting the quality of a dslr or even better (from canon) and the compact size for blogging (2 in 1) but the setup is a problem and the flip screen. But if I get a canon rebel t7i it’s bulkier and heavier to carry around if I’m going to blog but then if I get a canon PowerShot g7 Mark ii, i think the quality wouldn’t be as good as the rebel /dslr? I’ve been doing a lot of research on which camera to buy and I just can’t choose:(

[@markattardo]

I knew the outcome before I watched this. I still cheered for the underdog...Wait, new Canon cameras are underdogs?!? 😐 I have to admit to being impressed with footage I've seen from the Sony. If I weren't so determined to complicate my camera bag with extra lenses etc..... BTW, nice cameo in Faruk's video.👍

[@MoonbearDiedHere]

I want to see the comparison with the G5X II . I already knew the G7X III had problems.

[@positivitytravels]

Yuup i've been using the Canon M50. I think the Rx100 will be a great addition to my kit! Great video!

[@rashmi__sharma]

How do you find the M50 in terms of auto focus and video quality? Is it a good camera?

[@positivitytravels]

Simplicity I like it a lot! The auto focus catches on pretty quick and I normally grade my videos to 1080p so it’s good for me. I needed a camera for interchangeable lenses and zoom speed. I do slot of moving around and travel so I’ll probably add the rx100 to my kit, but as far as the m50 goes.. I love it

[@adiversdiary]

Gald I saw your review with the side by side comparison as was about to get the G7x3. Definately not getting the G7x3, but not paying for the RX100 V7. Back to the drawing board for me hahaha

[@pam2erres]

I have the rx100 and I’ll had so many issues with the camera the lens don’t come out it wouldn’t turn on, and the first time I got it fixed and it worked for while and now it’s giving me so many problems that I can’t do nothing. My experience has been so bad despite the quality of pictures and videos is so great I’m considering switching to the g7.

[@artistjoh]

The only two ways the Canon is under consideration is the built-in ND (and on my RX100 VII I installed a stick on 52mm filter thread and use a variable ND) and price. A better camera to compete with the RX100 VII is the Panasonic LX100 II. Price is comparable and the Panny has a built-in filter thread and has some features that beat the Sony, especially far better macro, 4K Photo, and greater shallow depth of field. It’s two big cons are the fixed screen and lack of mic input. For general photography and video the Panasonic is the better choice, but for vlogging style shooting the Sony is the clear winner. The Canon wins in no categories, and even with AF the Canon falls behind the Panasonic. Even at half the price I wouldn’t consider that Canon. There are simply much better options available.

[@drdimento]

Thanks for the review. This is the first review of 6 or 7 I’ve seen that gives the Canon a poor rating on auto focus and image quality on video. Wonder how the rating had been for canon had you gotten to go to a canon conference. Hehehe.

[@user-gk3kz5pz6w]

Can you make a canon 1ex mark ii vs the Sony A7iii video? Please.

[@HKFromAbove]

Great review. I agree the Sony did win here But to get that I need to double my budget. That's crazy. So if I was in the budget for a 1200usd camera why would I be looking at something behalf the price. I think I would recommend the mirrorless cameras from Canon rather than a point and shoot. Like the M6 mark 2 would give more bang for the bucks.

[@kamea4023]

Hi, can both of these cameras shoot slow motion?

[@sinswrlld]

Great breakdown . Ima go with the sony

[@wilkbor]

A good video. I understand Canon has come out with at least two firmware updates which are supposed to give support for 24p and better auto focus. I'm curious if those updates made any difference.

[@laurenstrand4227]

Yes, it's surprising that the reviewers for this camera still haven't re-reviewed since the firmware updates...

I have both and rarely use for video...but I do find for video they both do fine. Tracking on the G7XM3 tracks fine and DR if set up properly does excellent.! If I was a serious vlogger I would never use either. There are other camera's as light that do that best for the same money. However as a stills camera the Canon betters the Sony.

[@anthonysmith5979]
