[@baddogentertainment6960]

Excellent review/comparison. Simple (but well planned), very informative (without just blurting out specs), and straight to the point

[@freedom55or95]

I was searching everywhere for a video like this comparing all of the avail RX100 models on the used market. Looking hard at the Mark 2 now. THANK YOU!

[@Rio50520]

Incredibly informative video. Everything you need to know in a quick and concise manner. Well done!

[@treuzebits]

one of the best, if not the best video on KZbin comparing these awesome cameras! Congrats

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

Absolutely brilliant - thanks for making this video. You covered everything! I bought a Mark3 and now have upgraded to a Mark4 for the slow motion facility - even the complex menus you mention are not even quite the same layout! Great camera but so missing the mic input jack!

[@PracticalEffectsGuy]

Thx for the quick overview. Was very helpful !!

[@USARAY1947]

Excellent comparison of the various models, thank you.

[@kieranhuisman1291]

Such a fair and informative review. I think I'm getting the M3 - I only care about image quality and because of you you saved me a huge sum of money :). Thank you for doing this!

[@Direct-E]

Great comparison, thank you. By the way, both 4 and 5 have S-LOG under picture profile, not just 5.

This was extremely helpful

[@firebld]

Excellent review. Good to update the VI n VII. I'm looking to get V for the filter n 24-70n lense.

[@frfr335]

Great, comparative review of the various models. I'd seen a mk. 3 in a local camera shop the other day but wanted to see if earlier models would be almost as good as the 3 was slightly out of my budget. Your review however has helped me realise it might be a false economy, as I definitely need the wider lens and improved sensor for low light shooting. I wish all tech reviews were as informative, clear and succinct as this one. Having the tables of the various model's stats was particularly useful. Many thanks for doing it, it's much appreciated!

thank you for this great review

[@45eno]

Picked up a like new PAL version RX100 M1 with about 200shutter count for $140 a few months ago. We keep it in the diaper bag for on the go photography. Bought the Big brother RX10M3 for $850 from Amazon Warehouse. It does well for a pocket camera.

[@robiniborn2191]

SUPER GOOD REVIEW, Thank you!

[@imgcrastu]

You saved me a lot of time for choosing these rx100 series!! great job!!

[@matami19]

[@dartvader60]

@@matami19 I chose the rxiii😉

[@MarkMphonoman]

Dart Vader Me too, in July of 2019. M3 meets all my needs.

[@Corrido789]

Great video thank you

[@denniscrommett]

Thank you! This video made it so clear which one I need! (for me, the iii!)

[@RobertLee-ul6uk]

After watching your excellent video, I'm going to buy the Mark 3.

What a great video comparison. I like your “to the point” and objective style of reviews!

[@rogersinger3757]

Brilliant video

[@geirjohannesen667]

Thanks! Very useful!

[@GothaRsk]

I just got M1, because it is for 340 € and M2 is for 490 € which is quite a big difference. Thank you for the nice summarization, before I found only comparisons between each 2 generations. I would go for M2 if it was at least 50-60 € cheaper. I usually take photos in good light so backlit sensor is not a must for me.

[@clidenorpaz]

Thank you for this incredible vídeo. Mark 3 is my choice.

[@bjarnejohannsen573]

Thank You - very useful

[@smnelse379]

thank you. really helpful

[@PapikenCS]

Me still watching this over and over again. I found a used RX100 Mark II with very good condition at an incredible price. My use case would be on still only so I think I'll be happy getting the Mark II.

[@wouterdirven7880]

[@Martin-jh5jy]

Very helpful

[@Mohamedahmed331]

I purchased the Sony RX100 V because of the great autofocus

[@roganjosh6220]

Good Info

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Thanks buddy😉

[@Travel_addict_81]

Great video! I was thinking about m4 but i hear the autofocus is not to good. It is worth buying m5?

[@utube321piotr]

Excellent video, great information source. I am considering buying a mint Rx100 classic w/ only 695 shots. It is priced at 150USD, is that a good price?

[@bboyfxxu]

Thank you!

[@TURST67]

2020 and still bought the V (V A to be precise) because of the cheap price, internal nd filter and faster lens.

[@benoakes01]

Brilliant thanks

[@rafial1000]

The review that i want... Grt

[@JasonEyermann]

brilliant video but you didn't do sound quality :-( which is what i was waiting for as it doesn't have an external mic option

[@greendayplatypus8]

awesome comparisons! i have been teetering between a few cameras the rx100 (III-V) were top of my list but you mention if extended video shooting look elsewhere - preferably Panasonoc - 2 questions: do the Rx100 iii-V over heat often at the 1080 reso? and which compact pansonic would you recommend?

[@manasyt]

it doesnt...only in 4k...I have the IV...but never shot 4k actually :D, it does fine in slomo...there's the VI now...super expensive but thre's also VA, which is similar in price to the V but borrows some features from the VI !!!

[@namelesssnitchy]

Great review!!! a lot good information also the tables that you show. great job! too bad none of those has a touchscreen i think? sony wtf hahahhaa

[@mhsvz6735]

Thanks.

[@ExposureValuePhotography]

good one

[@ronyzmiri]

I love your reviews! In your opinion how does the image quality of the Sony RX100 series compare with MFT?

[@Camerahoarders]

Thanks! M43 is above 1 inch offerings, partly due to larger sensor, partly to the fact you can change lenses. M43 has some of the finest optics today.

[@martintxo14]

Very good comparison. I´m between the mark I (200-250€ second hand) and the mark III (350€ second hand). I do not know which one to buy

[@codyrobinson22]

Are you gonna review the RX10M4? I'd like to see review if $1700 is worth it and how much better is IQ to RX100M5 in a review :)

[@Heyudontwannaknow]

A great video! One small thing to add, mark iv has s-log2.

[@Camerahoarders]

You're right, tnx for the tip! I missed that one somehow...

[@Heyudontwannaknow]

Considering your great contents which I've been enjoying, it is a just minor mistake.

[@zeitwille]

which one would you recommend for live-streaming/webcam?

[@matthewwharton8698]

How can I tell whether I have mk1 or mk2? The sensor specification appears to be the same. Do they look different in any way?

[@blutundleberwurst9551]

Buy RX100VA = M5A. The A-version of the V has many improvements. From Version VI there is with a Zoom to 200 a lower light factor of 2.8 instead of 1.8

[@fightnight14]

Such a bummer that Sony doesn't lower the price of the previous versions when a new one comes out. It would have been nice to get the Mark 4 at $650 price point now the Mark 6 is coming out

[@quentinnewark2745]

fightnight14 shop around, there are stores on eBay selling RX100iv for the price you name. I just bought a iv for $635 (£485).

[@satyricon86]

That's not how electronics pricing works.

[@ahmedhayat5309]

How does mark 3 perform in low light???

[@womp6338]

im planning on getting m iii Seems to be best value for money m5 is amazing especially for video but twice the price

[@winterjulien5053]

Me too the m3 seems to be the perfect travel camera

[@winterjulien5053]

Mike D Here in germany the m3 costs about 500-550 euros and the m1 about 330-360 so it's about 200 euros more. For me it is the better capability in low light and of course the evf (electronic view finder) are the two main reasons for the m3 :)

[@user-cm3db5cg5m]

If u can get a used mark 5 at the same price of brand new mark 3, which one would u get?

[@deebahsworld6872]

Should I buy Mark III or Mark IV for making a short film in 4k resolution?

[@codyrobinson22]

Is IQ identical from M3 to M5-the chart comparison sure looks like it is?

[@andricmr]

hvala, bas sam trazio ovakav video. posto mi ne treba 4k i fps 120 mi se cini dovoljnom za slow mo, mislim da cu si uzet 3ku. dosad sam koristio g7x prve generacije. i mada je odlicna kamerica, ipak mi se svidja slike bolje od sony´a. Za veliku kameru kontam prec od 70D na 6D II, a mozda i tu predjem na Sony (A7) nisam pametan.
