The Sony RX100 VII is the most powerful compact camera I’ve tested to date. A 20MP CMOS sensor, 24-200mm full frame equivalent zeiss lens and 20 fps blackout free burst shooting.
I’m also going to talk about frame rates, image quality and the ergonomics of the #sony #rx100vii compact camera.
I’ve got a ton of Sony RX100 VII image and footage, we’ll talk about real-time tracking and eye-af, the mic input, pop up EVF and flip screen.
I’ll also share some frustrations I had about the RX100 VII and try to help you decide it it’s a good option for you.

What's up everyone?! I hope this review of the Sony RX100 VII was helpful. Did you like it? This camera isn’t inexpensive and I wasn’t sure if I would think it’s a good value. I was super impressed with the image quality, I love the autofocus and it is so compact and portable. The flip screen worked really well and the pop-up EVF is the best implementation I’ve seen.
Is this a camera you would consider getting? Why or why not?
Thanks for the review. Love the camera features but noth price!. It is 1600$ plus 15% tax in Canada!!!
That 15% is insane...
I'm a new subscriber, love your reviews.
Who do you believe has the best and will continue to have the best firmware upgrades in mirrorless cameras?
Thank you Sergio 🙏
Fuji has always been amazing at this. Sony is coming up for sure. Canon is just now starting to realize the value of doing this.
@@TechGearTalk so I should definitely keep the m6 mark 2. I haven't even open it yet. I am comparing this with the a6600 and the ibis looks horrendous, why they even have it, it's a joke
Excellent review, this is top of my list for a new camera
I just got the RX100M7 4-years later as is still a great camera and from what I hear will be the last of its line from Sony. Sony sells a grip for the front of the camera which I fitted immediately which gets over the slipperiness and makes this camera as comfortable to handle as anything so small can be. One as far as I know unique feature of this camera is the ability to take full resolution stills while recording HD video. Ideal for the shooter like me that often forgoes video so as not to miss that perfect photo moment. With this camera it is possible to have both. I also like the flip up flash for fill-in. So two great features that even my top of the line Alpha 1 cannot offer. For me I will be using the RX100 as a camera I can take with me anywhere to get high quality images, or as even as an extra to carry with my full frame camera to get me focal lengths not covered by the lens on my A1. For example in my wildlife photography, 99% of my photos are with 400+mm lens, but I can pull out the RX100 on the occasion that an animal does come close.
Thank you for this more than excellent review! Unbiased, to the point, covering the most important features, not too short, not too long. I subscribed to your channel.
Everyone this is the best guy for camera reviews on TH-cam in case you just starting your research. If he says a camera is good than its good and buy it from links in description.
Thank you so much for all the support 🙏
This is what legends say "BUY IT NICE OR BUY IT TWICE" - TGT ; )
I recently purchased the rx100 vii, but your reviews are so good I knew I’d learn more about the camera, And did! Great work!
Thanks so much Freddie - glad it was helpful and appreciate the support!
you review had me made up my mind to get myself a RX100vii!
You are the best! You helped me so much in trying to understand my camera to shoot video for my own channel.
That is amazing to hear Karina - I'm so glad I've able to help. Thank you for watching and for all the support! 🙏
@@TechGearTalk I have the Canon Rebel SL2 and your video was the very first one I watched to help me, so thank you!
That's awesome, I really like how easy that camera is to use - and gotta love that flip screen!
Yes! Straight forward with the pro's and cons. I'm impressed with this camera. I'll need to wait for a special offer though before I could make a purchase.
Hi, thank you for a great in depth review of this compact camera. I have wondering if there is a bracketing feature. Thank You very much.
This is a great video, love the calm and good vibes while also giving great information about the sony VII camera. Great video and audio quality :)
Glad you enjoyed it
great detailed review, great job man
Glad you liked it! Appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback 🙏
First, thanks for making the video. I've been using a Nikon Coolpix A900 for about 6 years now and it's time to upgrade. The vast majority of the shooting I do is from a recumbent trike, or somewhere I'll stop while riding and get up because I see a great photo op.. Usually that means wildlife, sunsets, sunrises, and other FL vistas. The most important things to me are speed in being able to get the camera out of my camelback, turned on, focused, and shot (and of course zoomed if necessary), image quality, and zoom and this camera appears to excel at all three. After looking over probably 15 or 20 different compact/travel cameras, this one does look like the one I'll buy.
Hi, I just brought the Sony RX100 VII and can’t wait to use it. You said you were doing a video on how you set the camera up. If so can you share the link here as I haven’t been able to find it.
Thanks for the great reviews I really enjoy watching them.
I recommend this after-market grip to help solve the issue of the camera being difficult to hang on to (not paid for this recommendation. This item just worked well for me
for the past year). I was using gaffer tape before that.
Sony AGR2 Attachment Grip (Black)
absolute legend. ty!!!!
Great review and nice pictures of Cleveland!
I'm super glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words and for joining the community 🙏
Thank you so much for this review! I'm really thinking about getting it but as it's really expensive: Would you rather recommend the RX100 Mark VII or the Canon M50?
Great review for the next camera I will get in a few weeks.
The bloopers 😂 my favorite part every time! Great and detailed video! Enjoy watching it ❤️ maybe make a video for the best vlogging camera? I’m curious to know which ones you’ll recommend 🙏
That's a great idea Dor. I'll start working on it!
Hey Dude, always enjoyed your videos and only just watched this one as only just considering the RX100 VII. Even though the RX100 VII is over 3 years old, I am actually tempted to get one as an uber compact camera when travelling, I already have the A7C and love it, but my lens choices are not compact. I wish there was hopes of getting an updated MK VIII soon with USB-C and the updated menu, but I think it’s safe to say that Sony did the ZV1 and now has no interest in making a premium photo centric version with this form factor anymore. What’s your thoughts? Still worth buying in 2023, or has someone else made the ultimate compact camera that’s a no brainier?
PS. Your video was the only one I found that explained where in the zoom range the F2.8 drops to F4 (44mm I think you said), so thank you for that I was really interested particularly on this. Huge thanks
Great review thanks a lot.
Great review. Thank you!
Thank you. Glad it was helpful David
Great, Thanks for this Review
Great review. 👍
It's a great little camera, although a bit fiddly you can get some excellent results out of it. Nice as B cam and for video. I put the small rig cage on (latest one for the rx100vii) gives the grip, protection and access to all the ports without being to bulky.
Appreciate the insight Christian!! I'm going to check out that cage.
@@TechGearTalk this is the one I got. It was on pre order when I got it. Here's the latest link www.smallrig.com/smallrig-cage-for-sony-rx100-vii-and-rx100-vi-camera-ccs2434.html
Thank you!
@@TechGearTalk as you have tested the rx100 and the m6ii , could i ask your opinion on how they compare from a usability and image quality point of view. I have always wondered if the m6ii would be better than rx100 as my b cam to complement my eos r. cheers
If it were me, I would get the m6ii to compliment the EOS R. It will be easier to match the color and the user experience will be very similar. If, however, you want 120fps with autofocus, you can look at the a6400 or the fuji x-t30 - both of which are less expensive than the rx100 vii.
The true advantage of the rx100 vii is the portability. You can literally take it anywhere. Because with the other options, we're still talking about lenses, and accessories, whereas rx100vii - put in your pocket and go.Hope this was helpful.
Nice video. yesterday I bourged my Sony DSC100-FX mark 7. The Mark 7 takes a while to learned to handle. Thanks to you for you gives me this film so I can be introducet it :)
Glad to help!
Can you provide the link to the live show about the RX100M7 mic setup please?
I can't find the videos you refer to in this video. I think you mentioned your favorite settings in this cameras menus for various "use" cases for one. I couldn't find anything about Sony cameras on your TH-cam pages? Did I miss it?
Great video. I purchased the camera and want to learn more.
Thank you.
What mic did you use for this? Great video!
Excellent review; very helpful. I am looking for a compact camera to mainly film my sons' baseball games. I am currently using either my cell phone or a Nikon D7000, but would like something better than my phone and more compact thank the DSLR . I have been looking at the Sony RX100 and the Sony FDR-AX43, but would love to hear your suggestions.
Thank you for the kind words. This is the most powerful compact camera I've used to date. If you want a camera just to shoot video, the camcorder will probably work for you. If you want video and photos and in the tiniest form - this is a great option. Hope that helps. Welcome, and thank you for supporting to the channel!
Exactly what I was looking for! I have a ZV1, which takes amazing videos AND photos! However, I have the Ulanzi wide angle adapter on it, which doesnt come off. I also travel a lot, and don't always want to carry a full frame with me. Would this camera be a good complement to my ZV1?
Does the app allow you to zoom in and out with the lens. Can the app also engage clear image zoom for increased range? Does the lever also use CIZ to go beyond the 200?
Would this be a good camera for shooting longer videos? (20-30mins) I want it for some wildlife behaviour observations and was wondering if it would do the job. Also, does it deliver in low lights?
Good review, covering almost everything I can think of.... except did you use neutral density filters in the beach shots?
Thanks Tony. No, I did not use ND filters on the beach because there are no built-in ones (that I saw).
@@TechGearTalk Precisely, so I was wondering if you used one of the glue on kits (lensmate do one) to keep the shutter speed low. The footage looked pretty smooth to me, not like you had a fast shutter speed. Thanks for responding!
Ah, got it - I didn't. Some of the footage is a little overexposed (when it was crazy bright out there). Ultimately, the solution you mentioned would work. Keep an eye out for a video I'll be publishing soon ;)
Great stuff thanks so much!
Thanks so much Kent 🙏🏻
Thank you for your video. if i want to chose a compact camera among Sony Rx100VII and Fuji film X100V. i am more interested in images rather than video . what is your opinion? which one has a best image quality? pls help me.
Have you seen the CAMROTE app for ios. I was having trouble connecting via the Sony app but was able to transfer and remote control via this app. Just a suggestion :)
I have not, but I'm going to go check it out. Super grateful! 🙏
Another great job. Would you recommend this camera for a beginner? I am looking at Fuji, Sony, etc. I want something to give me a great photography experience instead of some expensive spec monster.
*That is FAST burst mode, WOW.*
It may sound like sacrilege, but if I have grip issues I cut and apply black skate board deck tape to body portions that are slippery. Works great. Great job on the review as usual! 👍
That's perfect! I added gaffer tape which has worked. Thanks for the kind words.
Hello there. I typically need to shoot at narrower apertures, 5.6 to 10 on my A6000 and 30mm prime.
The shutter speeds are still quite high during day time.
Seeing that the shutter only goes 1/2000, is the lens sharp at narrower apertures like upti f11?? When does the sharpness and contrast begin to drop off?? Does the AF suffer at those apertures??
It would be an awesome compact camera for travel.
One of the best videos to be found on the web identifying and assessing the performance of rx100 vii features. If you are thinking about purchasing this camera, you should see this video.
It provides important and valuable information for both still and video shooters. I have seen virtually all TH-cam videos on this camera and this is one of the most comprehensive reviews done to date.
As a rx100 vii user, I agree with his assessment on the camera’s good features. But I wish the camera had better low light performance, as is pointed out in the video, and I wish it had a better ability to blur backgrounds and produce bokeh, which I don’t think the video mentions. Overall, a very fine review.
Super appreciate the kind words Tom, and the feedback about producing a shallow depth of field. That is the result of the maximum aperture closing so fast - but I should have make that more clear. Thank you so much for contributing to the community 🙏
The mk6 actually is much better for low light. Best of both worlds
Excellent detailed, to the point information. Thank you.
A lot of details 👍👍👍
Hope it was helpful!
Fantastic review!
Still trying to decide on RX100 VII or RX10 IV I like the portability of the RX100 but love the range of the RX10. I shoot mostly birds, wildlife as well as sunrise and sunset scenes. Wanting something I can have with me daily when I do not have my Olympus OMD EM1 MII with zoom lens only Either model I would have to purchase used. Also.. beautiful scenery.. where did you shoot this video? Wishing I was either at that pool or the beach!!
Thanks! I shot the video in Mexico. If you need range, then the RX10IV is the way to go. The camera is definitely bigger than the RX100VII, but for birds and wildlife, you really need the range. My 2 cents.
Ppl
Question, for the small form factor, comparing the Sony to a similar sized Fujifilm model, who would you consider best overall?
Thanx for the info... I have been eyeing this camera for a while.... thanx sooo much... btw how did you do the flip page(corner) at the end of the video to subscribe? again thanx
Glad it was helpful. That effect was done in After Effects.
Tech Gear Talk ok thanx but was it a template or did you create it and if so would you mind sharing... thanx again
I had someone make it for me (I am no longer in contact with them so I don't know if they used a template or not).
I still have to look around to see what's out there. Thanks for sharing.❤ I hear you bro.❤ A new friend. Stay connected.
Glad the video was helpful. Let me know if I can help.
I am looking for a camera to shoot video of my golf swing. I need to use it indoors and with limited space . Do you think the Sony rx100 vii is the best choice ? Obviously need fast FPS to shoot golf swing.
the bloopers in the end is very interesting. i think if you should put little like 10 secs of that in the intro part of the video people will troop in more or click your videos more and watch just to learn what you're offering and to laugh or smile.
Good idea - I'll try that at some point for sure!
How can a review be sooo good? This is how.
So glad you liked it!
$1,300 and it uses micro USB?! Also, just stumbled on your channel, keep up the awesome work. Subbed
I know right? What year is it? USB-C everything please. Glad you found the channel and appreciate the kind words 🙏
What’s your thoughts re: a mark viii. Should one wait or go for the vii?
For grip improvement, check Sony AG-R2. This IMO should be included in the box, btw.
I'm new to the photography scene, can this camera be used in a studio. I'm trying to set up
I had a Panasonic Lumix camera years ago and I used it for concerts and the sound came out pretty good of course you have to have a point shoot camera nowadays to take into venues. I want great 4k video for concerts and festivals sporting events do you think this is a good buy for that.
Hi John - thanks for watching. This is the most powerful post and shoot camera I've used - so if it's in the budget - it's a great option. If you wanted better audio, you can always get a stereo mic (but not sure if they will let you bring it in). hope that helps. Thanks for joining the channel.
do you have a slow motion video done. I am looking for a compact camera that buffer a few seconds before you hit the button like on the v
Does the camera overheat which i experienced in one of the older version? How many minutes is the battery per each use?
wonderful review..love from india
Thanks for watching!
Excellent presentation thank you. 4 years later the price of rx100 vii is still high which proves house much people like it.
Great video. I want to start dabbling in video. What do you do on a bright sunny day. Do you use a filter of any sort or the 180 degree method is not so important. Thanks
Lensmate makes an adapter kit! If you're stuck without one, then you have to ignore the 180 degree method.
Tech Gear Talk Thanks for such a quick response. Are you using one on the videos in this review?
No, I didn't have one. That is why some of the beach shots are overexposed.
Have you looked at the RX100 VA? It has a 1.8-2.8 lens and a 3 stage ND filter. Would appreciate your feedback. TYI JB
im looking to mostly vlog or use on vacation to take some cool videos. do you think this or the a6600 is best?
The beautiful thing about this camera is that it is tiny - and yet so powerful.
If I had unlimited budget and size/weight didn't matter, I could create higher quality content with the a6600 (plus a lot of money for lenses, filters, etc.). But if I need one camera to put in my pocket, take absolutely everywhere - I'm taking the RX100VII. Hope this was helpful.
what microphone do you recommend for rx100mark7. I cannot find the model. maybe I overlooked.
Awesome video. Question notice you’re using Apple AirPods. Connected to the Sony camera as a Microphone??
Which camera i want to buy ; Cyber Short or DSLR camera which is better
this one or g5x mark 2 ? and can i expect dslr quality pics with these compacts. ? my usage is only for photo taking. mostly family photos. is there any other good option for my needs other than these two cameras.? TIA
I would take this one if image quality is the priority (and cost wasn't an issue). This is the most powerful compact camera I've used.
Will there be a next generation of this camera ? RX100MVIII ?
Hey Ross, I agree you and Rachael were on a break!
There is no doubt that we were on a break - it's a fact! 😂
Hello.
I am on the fence about buying the mk7, do you think that mk8 will hit the market this summer?
Or do you have another favorite that beats the mk7 at the moment?
Great review btw, as allways I love your feedback on cameras, you're a good benchmark imo! :)
So glad the videos are helpful. The MK7 is the most powerful compact camera I've ever used. Who knows what will happen with the industry (considering the current situation). If the mk7 does everything you want/need, I'd grab it. For the form factor, I haven't found anything that competes. I hope I was able to help.
@@TechGearTalk Yeah thanks a bunch. The only thing I can see is the lack of a nice rubber grip or something, but I guess I can 3D-print something to make it better on that. But yeah, picture and filmquality I think it checks out the boxes pretty good..
You're very welcome. Also look at this: amzn.to/3bNLMLO and amzn.to/2Rcv4y1 (in the Q&A it says it would fit, just block the door to the HDMI)
I have a Sony A7iii but we only use it for travel but it can be heavy, bulky and takes too much luggage space. Would the RX100vii be a good enough replacement for travel photography in your opinion?
Hi there. I have the a7iii as well, so I'm going to try to answer this how I would want it answered. When you say "good enough" that is a judgement. In my opinion, for the size and convenience - it's amazing. Just keep in mind that it's not your a7iii ;)
Hope this was helpful.
THANKS for this video and all that you do, I am just getting into photography I was taking pictures with a 13 year old point and shoot, so I took the plunge and bought a Canon SL2 with the kit lens EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Len so with this said what would you suggest for taking pictures and video at disney we are heading down there in early January. The camera store guy suggested 35mm 2.8 macro or EF 50mm F 1.8 stm, which you talked about can you help please? I forgot to say we are going to go at night to the parks and taking photos of buildings and people mainly lights video and pictures about 50/50
You're welcome Doug! Appreciate you.
Those are 2 good options. If you want to take pictures at night, grab a small tripod (like a Joby amzn.to/36ilU89). Here is my video about the 50mm: th-cam.com/video/8EEKkrOuj-w/w-d-xo.html. The 35mm f/2.8 amzn.to/2PzhmDA is a fast, lens with image stabilization (which is great to have). If you want something really fast, look at the 10-18. It's not a fast lens, but is super wide amzn.to/2qBdsBM (and you'll have a tripod).
Hope this helps.
@@TechGearTalk Thanks once again
🙏
what gümble you used while capturin’ video here ?
I have owned a Canon S100 and Panasonic Lumix CS52. Both of these camera broke down so that they are now a door stop.
The Canon S100 broke down under warranty and Canon repaired it. The S100 broke 2d time again, and Canon wanted to fix for half the cost of a new one.
The Panasonic Lumix CS52 was bought with a "free" extended 2 year warranty to replace my S100. The CS52 broke down with 1 month left on the warranty. Panasonic's warranty contractor claimed that I misused the camera, but I didn't; but I did heavily use it. They wanted 2/3ds the price of new camera. Another boat anchor. So a word to the wise. BTW Panasonic contracts it warranty work in the USA, and if you read the reviews, they are only so, so at best.
I bought the Sony RX100-7 in 2019, when it was introduced to replace my CS52, and so far, the RX100-7 has been utterly reliable. So when you need super-reliable camera, I would go with the Sony RX100-7, it is right there when you need it. Even though it costed $1,300, it was worth every penny to me. BTW if you guys get the Sony RX100-7, buy the little rubber grip for ~$20, that is attached/glued to the right side for better grip. Personally for such ultra-premium camera I am surprised it was not included, oh well. The Sony RX100-7 has never disappointed me.
I have this camera and the flash stop working, I reset the camera, took the battery and flash card out and it still won't work. It appears to be a running issues with the series. What is the solution if any?
Great review 😉
Have you heard about Ak 2000 Gimbal?? ...
If you can do a review about it , we will be so happy , because they said it was cheap and has a good feature ...
We like cheaper stuff but if it has a good quality😁
Yes. I will see what I can do!
@@TechGearTalk thank you a lot 😘🌸
🙏
12:40 is epic when it appears you are looking at the line of best fit of all three cubes and just throwing. How about you try closing your eyes for a second in the next video and lets see what happens....lol
Thanks brother! Maybe I'll try that - worse case - bloopers 😂
Did you resolve issue with contecting to iPhone?
which would you prefe? sony a6000 with the sigma 16mm f1.4 or sony a6400 with kit lens. both add up to almost the same price. the a6000 still comes up a tsd bit cheaper in my country. i use it mainly for video.
For video I would probably start with the a6400 and the kit lens because the autofocus is so much better. Plus, if you only have one lens, the sigma 16mm is very limiting (only one look)
@@TechGearTalk ahh i see, ok thanks a lot!
Hope this was helpful.
Is it worth to buy Sony rx100 mark 7 camera or rather Sony Xperia Pro i phone?! Which one of them makes better pictures ??!!
29:24 FINAL THOUGHTS and the video is only 26:53 LMAO ! nice vid bwt
Thanks for the heads up - corrected! Thanks for being part of the channel!
Omg I can totally relate to the half shutter!!! It’s terrible!
Very good review ... the only reason I didn't go with this camera is price. An a6400 and kit lens is cheaper.
Amazing review. Thank you. I would be grateful if you could help me to stick with your motto "buy it nice, or buy it twice". I intend to buy a camera for producing online video educational content (mainly to be published in Instagram) and I am a beginner in using cameras. Could you please introduce some midrange cameras for this purpose? or you think this is the absolute best?
Thank you for the kind words. I would probably have you look at these: th-cam.com/video/wZVOATkGvB8/w-d-xo.html let me know if you have any questions.
Does it have real time histogram for video mode?
In your video you mentioned stuff about an ND filter, I wanted to get more info on this if you're able to explain in the comments. Thanks!
Here is an explanation of nd filters: th-cam.com/video/QdsPmo9wcFk/w-d-xo.html hope that helps
@@TechGearTalk how important is the ND filter like on the VA? the internal ND? Do I really need it? I want top photos mostly outside and action. cycling photos and also some video of cycling. This post about ND is more for the big cameras. Is it necessary for these pint and shoots? Thx
I don't think it's that important for point and shoots as these cameras usually have smaller sensor and smaller aperture. For most of the time we're worrying about under-exposed instead of over-exposed. If you want a low-shutter and keep the shallow depth of field under bright sunlight, or want the realistic motion blur (1/50 s shutter) with a 24fps video under bright sunlight, you would need ND filters.
Which camera you use for video?
I need camera for TH-cam videos, I'm shooting at home and sometimes outside bit still without motion, what would you recommend: Sony RX100 Vii or a6400 ?
I would choose the a6400.
Hey buddy, I got another question, or two actually..
1 - Will this camera be able to still record movie and shoot pictures while the micro usb is connected?
2 - Timelapse.. will the camera keep shooting until the battery is empty?
I'm sick of the G7X mk2 that has the time limit in timelapse and that it wont take pictures or video while charging..
Hi there.
1. Yes
2. Yes
I totally get your frustration with the G7XMKII The RX100VII is the most powerful compact camera I've ever used. Period. Thank you for being part of the channel.
I think it's a great camera I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a point and shoot when the A6400 and A6600 are the same or cheaper. Their already compact cameras. Great video as always man
I can 100% see that. To be fair, this thing is much smaller - like, literally take it everywhere in your pocket. But the price point... ouch.
Tech Gear Talk I know I really want a point a shoot. I have a Heating and Air conditioning Podcast. I’m trying to build my TH-cam now filming videos in the field. I can’t use my phone cause it’s constantly ringing in the middle. I have a GoPro Hero 6 black that’s ok but I would love to get a nice point and shoot I can fit right in my tool bag. Then I use my A6400 when I’m in my studio. I was looking at a used Canon G7X ii. Are they ok. I know no audio jack which sucks or should I just stay with the GoPro?
the G7XIII has a head phone jack if you want. I think if you really want this camera and you'll use it a lot, the extra $$$ is worth it. If you'll use it once or twice a year - nope!
Tech Gear Talk yeah I would use it almost everyday atleast 3-4 times a week. Damn it your not making this easy!! 😂😂😂😂
Sorry 😂🤣
It's worth it compared with a S22 ultra or iPhone 13 pro?
I wish the Mk VIII would have a bit less FL (to 150mm) and re-adopt the f/1.8 lens I have in my Mk II. I'm a still photographer & need the faster lens for low light...

Lotion makes your hands soft and slick
Hi again. Help lol.... Hi I really need some help and advice again please. I would like to buy a compact camera with a good zoom, good video, picture quality, touch screen, flip screen if possible, anti shake as I have a small tremor and RA in my hands but I really would like to buy one (at last) and finally take nice photos of birds, family so fast moving, night shots and would like to photo water that looks like foggy/steamy if you know what I mean. I am a pensioner (in my 70s and a young pensioner), so cannot afford a lot. I bought an Olympus Pen 10 camera just before the pandemic but then we could not go out. But trying it on birds in the garden and horses in the field where I lived, I realised that with these hands not a good idea to have to keep changing lens, as it was awkward. Could you please point me in the right direction please. I live in Uk. I really do need advice again. Many thanks. 😊😊
You can buy Sony AG-R2 Attachment Grip for $15. For a high-end camera, Sony should've included it. Highly recommend it.
The big question is: RX100 VII or VA? The lens of the VA is quite a lot faster
I got this and it solved my issues without excess mass R017 SONY RX100 VII Microphone Handle Grip L Type Cold Shoe Bracket
Sweet!!! Thank you Ted.
Sony does have a stick on grip. You have to buy it separately though. I'm using it on my camera.
Thanks Sharon - found it!!! How’s it working for you? Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻
@@TechGearTalk Well after dropping my camera because it was so slippery, I added the grip. For me it works well. It's slightly rough so that helps.
Thanks for the insight.
I like the Franiac grip (its solid aluminum, also on amazon). It helps a lot, if you want an alternative to the texture of the sony one. Feels nice.
