🎁 Win Sony a7iii GIVEAWAY LIVE NOW photorec.tv/win The Sony RX100 VI - You have $1300 to buy camera gear - what would you spend it on? Let me know in the comments. ➨ My Recommended Gear: kit.com/photorectoby 🎧Get Awesome Music for your videos: photorec.tv/music
PhotoRec TV While I already own the a6300 and a7r2 despite the price and minor trade offs the RX100 6 faces, I have missed plenty of good shots due to not having a camera on me at all. Sure my iPhone has a camera, but it has its limitations. I would like to have an RX100 my kit that way I can always have something to document with wherever and whenever. Great vid.
everything seems good but the VI only gives 2.8 instead of 1.8. What do you think? 1.8 is good to create the bokeh. 2.8 good but not as good as 1.8, and especially for low light situation. This is dilemma
Great review! I have a lot of Sony gear (A9, A7R-III) and a nice collection of lenses. True, these camera produce images which are better than the RX-100. However, a camera that is not with you worth exactly 0. Unless I am going to a trip that is designated as photo taking trips (which I like very much), the only camera I have on me, and which fits in my pocket (with an extra battery and a tiny tripod) is the RX 100. I originally bought the RX-100 as part of an underwater photography (scuba-diving) kit. I fell in love with this camera. Now I have the VI version which I find to be much more useful than the previous iterations. Regarding the price, it really depends on your point of view. If you see it as a point of shoot camera than it is indeed expensive. But if you see it as a high quality miniature pro-consumer camera (which in my opinion is really the case), then it is very inexpensive, it cost half than the A7-III (body only, without any lens) and the probability that you will actually have it when you need it is much much higher. So to me it is not expensive at all.
I'm glad you mentioned major sports games and concerts. You're right that ILCs (and sometimes superzooms) usually aren't allowed in those big venues. You combine the form factor with the 200mm, and then you have a very compelling option for those events (even with the tighter aperture and other limitations). I still don't see myself spending that amount of money, but I am intrigued. It may be something for some folks to consider.
Great review video from such an amazingly beautiful place. The Sony RX 100 VI does seem a fantastic camera and that zoom, Wow! The camera has all the bases covered if not a little high priced for the every day traveler. If I had $1300 I would purchase two 32G SD cards and the rest of the money on joining your next photography Adventure at Mt Rainier. The scenery I've seen lately is nothing more than breath taking.
The integrated lens of this compact camera has 15 elements in 12 groups with 8 aspheric elements including. 8 aspherical elements. Very impressive. The magnification is 0.59x which is good for macro photography. The Anti-distortion (no rolling shutter) electronic shutter is 1/32000sec, which with daylight can capture the fastest objects. Burst shooting is 24 fps with with AF/AE tracking and raw files. With an external sound recorder can deliver impressive videos of short duration. Of course very special post processing is required. For normal 4K video the supporting S-Log3, as well as S-Log2 and the XAVC S are really good. The 960fps for slow motion video is impressive too. It doesn't support SDXC Memory Card(UHS-II) which is very fast and useful with burst shooting. How much expensive or difficult is an UHS-II SD slot? The Hi-Speed USB (USB2.0) port could be USB-C 3.1, I wonder why most premium cameras are stuck to USB 2.0 so many years. After all this camera is expensive. Its Bluetooth can connect to an iPhone and geotag directly the photos during shooting. Bluetooth can be activate for hours on the iPhone and Cameras because it inherently consumes very little energy contrary to WiFi. However how difficult is for most cameras to implement a GPS. That camera is useful mostly for traveler and constant geotagging is highly important. High end smartphones can shoot great photos and have nearly replaced all compact cameras. Those fantastic features of the Sony RX100 MK VI may leave uninterested many people. Personally I would like a compact camera with ultra wide zoom lens. Ultra wide lenses give very special perspective which make photos very special and different. However usually ultra wide zoom lenses aren't very flattering for portraits and that make them unfavorable.
Why would anyone consider some number of lens elements "impressive"? The magnification is of the viewfinder, not of the image ie it has nothing to do with macro per se.
Great review of the most expensive RX100! @5:15 █ WHY NOBODY NEVER mention that the screen on all RX100 models is █ AS BIG AS ON A7 █ series! It can be a perfect (supplementary to the new RX10) camera for documentary filmmaking - with new zoom lens you can reach anything! • Always loving ♡ your videos! Thanks for making them!
Hey that's a great video have you tried it with the new grip. Shooting Grip for RX0 & RX100 series. And is it compatible with the Sony RX100 leather case. Cheers
Ignoring it's drawbacks (for my needs), this is the first review that has actually showed some real world uses that help me understand the hype. I still feel it's far too expensive for what you get.
Had the A7iii which I enjoyed using with the Sony 24-105 G lens on my trip in Japan last year. I had to sell my Camera so I'm looking to buy a travel Camera and the RX100 VII I think is the right choice with it's new features and it has similar AF capabilities to that of the mighty A9. Reliable fast auto focus is really important so I can just focus on the composition of my photo's. Pro Pocket Camera and I like the fact that the menu layout is similar to that of the A7 Mirrorless Camera's so when the time comes to own the A9 one day I will feel right at home.
This was by far the best review of a point and shoot camera I’ve watched. Most reviewers do a good job of covering the pluses and minuses. While this review also did that, the reviewer wasn’t hesitant to set this camera apart from the others as being, arguably, the best point and shoot on the market for the extra reach it gives you, along with the pop-up viewfinder. The 24 fps of the dog running was unreal for a p&s. Other photos, including macros of wildlife were also VERY impressive. Also appreciated the example of background sound interference due to not having an external mic. I could confidently buy this camera from this review alone. Not sure I saw any use of the built-in flash. That would have been nice, but overall, 98 out of 100. Thanks!
Can anyone provide any insight on the importing of video files into Lightroom CC that are recorded from the RX100m6? The video files from the RX100m4 always have the wrong timestamp and the filename always begins with a totally different format than the filenames of the images. Whenever I delete the video files from the folder in the SD card, it just starts namimg the video files from 0001 again. So, I have numerous video files with the same filename, i.e. C0001.mp4
I've recently subbed as I enjoy your content but the audio balance was way off with this. I was listening in my car and the music blasted out whilst your voice was really quiet...
The m5 was pretty much a perfect camera. All it lacked was a touch screen and get an effort to get of the physical buttons. Instead they increased the aperture and forgot the ND filter.
Simply the best review on TH-cam for this version. I want this camera, but I cannot seem to hit the buy button. You are so right...a nice lens is its competition. I imagine it won’t be durable so +++ the extended warranty.
Such beautiful scenery behind you during this video. Don’t care much for this specific camera but I really appreciate all the work that goes into making this, and the post editing as well. Thanks Toby
Nice video! Cool to do it at Mt Rainier. I have a Panasonic LX10 which compares nicely with the RX100 but only costs $550 with SD card and case. Only a 3X zoom and no EVF but it does shoot great 4K video for 15 minutes. I think the RX100 is only five or seven minutes isn't it? Also the LCD screen doesn't flip backward for overhead shooting. That's the one thing I miss the most that I've gotten so used to on my GH5 and G85. They both have a one-inch sensor but the LX10 is better in low light at f/1.4 and Pansonic's menus/interface and touch display is so much better than Sony's.
These are the specs using the 35 mm equiv of both the focal length and the aperture. You can get it from www.digicamdb.com. 24-200 f/7.6 - f/12.3 Sony RX 100 VI 24-70 f/4.9 - f/7.6 Sony RX100 V Sony RX100 IV Sony RX100 III
I got mine at Best Buy open-box for $500...talked the manager down from $550 because it didn't have a battery or cable. I had one from my DSC-400HX and they use the same battery as well; the battery is also on clearance too for $6.49. Hit the jackpot again because I got the 2 year warranty for only $32. Can't wait to learn how to use it.
I dont know which camera you use for this video. But when you changed to RX100 Mark VI at 8:55, the video started to be much better. Details on your face are awsome. I will buy a RX100 VI today.
I have a problem. I’ve seen told that to delete multiple images from my Rx100 V1 all I have to do is go into Menu and scroll to Playback. Click on Delete BUT that function is not enable. I’ve tried switching to all possible choices eg. Program or Auto or Manual etc. unsuccessfully. ALl i get is This Function is currently disabled.
Very good review! I own a lot of big Sony stuff and also the RX100 I. This thing would be perfect as pocket cam, but 1300$ that’s stupid expensive. I think that this is not a good move from Sony, because there will be not many pepole willing to pay that amount of cash for it. For around 800$ this thing would be the real deal and thts even more than you have to spend for an A7 with a 28-75mm. Yeah, the prices sounds really stupid, when I think about it.
Hi,thanks for your interesting review. Great photos and explanations. Could you tell me,if possible, which powerbank do you use for charging the battery?Thanks!
I was in doubt if to buy a 70-200 for a7iii, this camera, or a cheap zoom for my olympus. I chose the 70-200 but still in doubt, i can carry it on hikes but i'm not sure i'm gonna carry that lens on my bike tours. There's a similar one from Leica with better zoom, did you check that?
I am a people photographer not really landscapes. Cost wise I could get this, Panasonic LX-100 mark 2, Autofocus ability to lock on at a indoor party/event is important. What would you recommend
Anyone who wants to see a proper review of this check out Maarten Heilbron's channel. He's posted a real use video that is remarkable, it concisely describes all the + - as he cycle tours France.
I am very interested in the Sony RX100 MVI, and your review has been a great help. I am going on a backpacking trip to the Rocky Mountains this July, and I know the camera is the one I'd like to bring. However, I'm also going to my high school son's spring baseball tournament in Orlando this March. Can you give me your thoughts regarding my taking pictures of him pitching/batting? With such a fast autofocus, I would think I could get some pretty decent pictures. With the "burst," would I get a bunch of pictures on my SD card which are ready to import into Photoshop Elements, or is there something else I'd need to do? I have not done anything with Raw before, so I'm not sure what's involved with turning those into pictures I can print. I have used a Canon Rebel tsi for years, and I was hoping the Sony RX100 Mark VI could be a replacement. Thanks in advance for your reply--
But RX 100 models from two years ago are not 1/2 the price .. so there is a flaw in your plan :( But there are certainly savings buying the older models which still take fantastic pics.
People that can afford it :) I agree it's pricey and I might seem like a rich youtube but I drive a beat-up car with an oil leak and save my pennies for good lenses so it is out of my price range but if I was more of a traveler, less of a photographer it would be high on my list.
Huzaifah Empire I’m a photographer and know the sales pretty well. I’m saying I don’t know who I would recommend this too. I don’t know who it’s for. It’s a cool camera but the price puts it into another category of camera
It's for me. Wanted a capable camera with a view finder and good zoom that I can carry with me in my pocket or in my scooter. Has the features of a full on mirrorless. Would be easy to combine it with a camera like the Sony 6500 or ar7iii. It's a specialized camera.............only time will tell about how many folks will find it to be the camera for them.
Good review but a bit misleading to say that nothing comes close to it. The Panasonic ZS200/TZ200 has more zoom, a fully functional touch screen (you can navigate the menus), 24mm to 360mm range, 15 minutes of video (doesn't overheat), has bluetooth connectivity, you don't have to pop up the EVF.....and it costs a lot less. The RX100 VI is certainly a very good compact but most would argue it's not the best especially considering the price.
$1200, no ext. Mic input, slowwwww lens (f/4.5 with a 1 inch sensor), terrible battery. No thank you. I’ll, use my phone. Do you have any financial connections to disclose with this review? I see there is a give away contest so I wonder what the Sony connection is. Thanks.
Absolutely no financial connections to disclose. We are buying the Sony for the giveaway. "slowwwww lens" - can you share a faster lens at 200mm with a 1" sensor? I agree this camera is not for anyone but when you knock it for a slow lens when there is no competition I get a bit confused.
PhotoRec TV No competition at $1200. Panasonic (ZS200) produces cameras with longer lenses at 400 or 500 dollars less and although slower at the long end have much more reach.
Huzaifah Empire I’m not here to buy an overpriced piece of gear. There are cheaper alternatives not discussed in the video. I’m glad there were no financial motives but I was curious after watching this review.
Mitchell, The Panasonic models are noticeably less sharp, especially at the longer end. Having said that, the pani is the better bang for buck unless you need the most powerful in it's size. The TZ 200 pani is also not cheap at 800, also had no mic input, no flip screen, and has a smaller aperture at 200mm. Also focus system and eye af is superior on the Sony and has 24fps burst and higher fps slow motion. No doubt it's a more niche camera now but the price is somewhat expected given the feature set in a smaller body (even smaller than the pani).

hi is it waterproof or you need a case for that?
@4:06 If I didn't also live out here, I would think you're in front of a green screen. But Mt Rainier really is that cool! PNW FTW!

I’d like to see you try out the RX10IV. It’s not small, but almost complete. I triple dog dare you, Toby... 🙏😎👍
oooh triple dog dare :) I will see what I can do!
I saw one used in very good condition for $900, is that worth it 2024?
What issues would I have to look out for with a used one?
Great review, but how about the comparison with the RX100 VI vs the RX10 IV
Love the RX series on the trail. Lightweight & nice shots. Great review

Now two years later this model is less than half it's original price if purchased in excellent used condition. 8-19-2020.
@ Sony Please upgrade this camera with APSC & full touch screen. I will definitely buy it!
I've recently subbed as I enjoy your content but the audio balance was way off with this. I was listening in my car and the music blasted out whilst your voice was really quiet...
Too expensive for what it is !
Hi would you recommend this over the Panasonic Lumix DC-LX100 II?
What are everyone's thoughts on this camera to take on safari in Africa? Does it have the range?
200mm isn't quite enough. If you want a P&S I would highly recommend the RX10M4 - I will be releasing a review SOON! bhpho.to/2OEsNLQ
Cañón m50, rode video mic, canon lens adapter and 50mm canon lens and a gorilla pod.
The Slow Motion feature in this camera can't be found for less.
1:03 there's some "Batis", unintentionally pun? :D
Cool ..if you dont want that camera ill take itttttt lol
The m5 was pretty much a perfect camera. All it lacked was a touch screen and get an effort to get of the physical buttons. Instead they increased the aperture and forgot the ND filter.
You can get an updated Mark V with the new processing.
I like the cam rx 100 / the price is a problem breok

I give like for mountains
Nice review. Thanks. On my "To Buy" list in two years, when the price will be half.
But RX 100 models from two years ago are not 1/2 the price .. so there is a flaw in your plan :( But there are certainly savings buying the older models which still take fantastic pics.
U had me when u said oommmppphhhh
Wow this review is so scenic. Nice!
Good video. Thank you!
is it waterproof?
Sir i cant get a unic code on glem i whatd a video 3 times
Its in there - it flashes on the screen.
Great one
Hell to the no. At $600 I’m in. $1200 is a no go. I can’t figure out who this camera is for.
People that can afford it :) I agree it's pricey and I might seem like a rich youtube but I drive a beat-up car with an oil leak and save my pennies for good lenses so it is out of my price range but if I was more of a traveler, less of a photographer it would be high on my list.
Huzaifah Empire I’m a photographer and know the sales pretty well. I’m saying I don’t know who I would recommend this too. I don’t know who it’s for. It’s a cool camera but the price puts it into another category of camera
Ok I’m just giving my thoughts. No reason to call ppl “shortminded”. Sounds like you got it all figured out. Cool camera
It's for me. Wanted a capable camera with a view finder and good zoom that I can carry with me in my pocket or in my scooter. Has the features of a full on mirrorless. Would be easy to combine it with a camera like the Sony 6500 or ar7iii. It's a specialized camera.............only time will tell about how many folks will find it to be the camera for them.
The RX100 V had a flip out selfie screen also!
You are right! Dang I thought it was still just 90° Thanks for the correction.
No problem, good review though
its way due to erupt
I hope it holds off a few more years - say 60 or so :)
That price is insane.....
It certainly is expensive but nothing else provides this quality in this size package.
Welcome to Washington!
Oooops Toby IS from WA....ha
I still appreciate your welcome :)
Too much for too limited. Good review but no thanks for me.
How many photos can be clicked with this from full battery❓
About 200.
Good review but a bit misleading to say that nothing comes close to it. The Panasonic ZS200/TZ200 has more zoom, a fully functional touch screen (you can navigate the menus), 24mm to 360mm range, 15 minutes of video (doesn't overheat), has bluetooth connectivity, you don't have to pop up the EVF.....and it costs a lot less.
The RX100 VI is certainly a very good compact but most would argue it's not the best especially considering the price.
Panasonic ZS200/TZ200 have much worse viewfinders and longer start-up times, therefore I prefer the Sony
$1200, no ext. Mic input, slowwwww lens (f/4.5 with a 1 inch sensor), terrible battery. No thank you. I’ll, use my phone. Do you have any financial connections to disclose with this review? I see there is a give away contest so I wonder what the Sony connection is. Thanks.
Absolutely no financial connections to disclose. We are buying the Sony for the giveaway. "slowwwww lens" - can you share a faster lens at 200mm with a 1" sensor? I agree this camera is not for anyone but when you knock it for a slow lens when there is no competition I get a bit confused.
PhotoRec TV No competition at $1200. Panasonic (ZS200) produces cameras with longer lenses at 400 or 500 dollars less and although slower at the long end have much more reach.
Huzaifah Empire I’m not here to buy an overpriced piece of gear. There are cheaper alternatives not discussed in the video. I’m glad there were no financial motives but I was curious after watching this review.
Huzaifah Empire What rock did you crawl out from under?
Mitchell, The Panasonic models are noticeably less sharp, especially at the longer end. Having said that, the pani is the better bang for buck unless you need the most powerful in it's size. The TZ 200 pani is also not cheap at 800, also had no mic input, no flip screen, and has a smaller aperture at 200mm. Also focus system and eye af is superior on the Sony and has 24fps burst and higher fps slow motion. No doubt it's a more niche camera now but the price is somewhat expected given the feature set in a smaller body (even smaller than the pani).
