Wait, what?! $800?! I can get an entry level DSLR with a zoom lenses with that money. In my personal opinion, not worth the money and that poorly designed wifi button location killed the camera for me.
Kai.. What baffles me the most is how you can shoot a picture while you are walking and still get perfect shot, do you keep the camera at a higher shutter speed?
my local photopusher has ordered one for himself since he had the first model of this series! he uses a D800 for his Work but has the mk I version of this and was very pleased with it so he ordered this model!
I'm visiting HK right now and I thought I might run into you guys, but apparently I moved into the Hostel at Causeway Bay two days to late :-D great video
I have an RX100 but I'm not sure it or the RX100 II "blows the Canon out of the water", as the Canon has a sensor 2.25x the size, and that's a lot. The Canon lens is also nicely wider at the short end (24mm vs. 28mm) and longer+faster at the long end, especially if you allow for the sensor size difference.
***** Colours you can change as the RX100s shoot Raw and the noise seems pretty good to me on my RX100. The main gripe to have about Sony is they lossy compress the Raw files which can be an issue on some scenes. The Sony video modes are much better than the Canon though.
Not a bad camera actually but way too expensive. Wait a year or so for the price to come down if you really want it Canon will soon realize they have priced it too high It is likely Nikon, Panasonic and Fuji will be coming out soon with their version of their compacts to compete with Sony and Canon
I will say this does have the most amazing lens design I've ever seen on a compact camera, Canon really got carried away (six independently moving groups, crazy) and I guess that's reflected in the price. The mk I lens with 2/3 the groups was widely reported as being very good so it'll be interesting to see how much better this is. I'm sticking with my RX100 though.
Nicely done guys. I came to similar conclusions about this camera as well. A photo geek's camera that doesn't win any beauty contests but takes beautiful pictures.
Heyy....I know my question is out of this subject however, I am also have a thing for watches, what kind of watch were you wearing in this video? I'd appreciate it. Nice video by the way.
Still searching for slow piano music to match a Leica T review? The world needs to see Kai and Lok wearing those shoulder holster cases, and opinions on the Audi Design T-Flap.
Really good review, guys. Humour, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sounds as if this camera has made gains in the right areas but just doesn't cut it against what's out there--esp on the mirrorless front. Surprising ISO performance!
I don't know, the lens on the original version was very high performing, probably worth a good chunk of $800 without the camera. This lens seems a big improvement and has the most amazing spec I can remember seeing for a fixed lens, with six independently moving groups. Canon really went for it on the design. Plus Canon's suggested retail prices are highly fictional a short time after launches anyway... I'll keep my RX100, but it is a hell of a lens...
Thanks for the review! I'll stick with my Sony RX100 pocket camera for now. Never thought I would see the day where Sony digital cameras outshines Canon's.
The colors look a bit more vibrant than previous Canons. To me, at least. Seems like a decent enough camera. And the price is still $400 less than the X100s, the standard bearer of compacts.
Kai.....can you include the performance of the "Auto" mode in your review? because we might using the M mode, but some of us, didn't....especially the girls that own dslr...straightly referring to my girl actually...she keep using the Auto mode...I own d7000 n she own d5200, and both produce no so good pictures in Auto mode (especially at night).....maybe camera company should consider of enhancing the Auto mode of their camera....
Kai lives in china I assume, so are people over there ok with some random stranger taking there photos? Cause people usually want to be asked for their permission before anyone takes a photo of them especially a stranger on the street.
Why can't the zoom ring be on the lens, it looks a bit awkward where it is and also funny place to have a play button. At £800, it ain't worth it. Could you review the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH4?
Kai nailed it. You can buy a T3i refurbished with a 50mm 1.8 for about the same price and get better video and stills. Canon is reaching with this one, sorry Kai no pun intended.
JESUS CHRIST, HE SOUNDS SO MUCH LIKE JAMES MAY!
CLARKSON!!!!!
Can you review the Canon G7X?
a Kai Man Wong in all his splendour today ! #DigitalRev
hahaha, i like him as a reveiwer, hes mad!
Wait, what?! $800?! I can get an entry level DSLR with a zoom lenses with that money. In my personal opinion, not worth the money and that poorly designed wifi button location killed the camera for me.
or the NEX-6 which destroys this camera
LinuxUser4Life a6000 which destroys this and the nex 6
Or an OMD Em5!!!
crazycurtis28 Or a Sony A58 with all the necessary supplies
o.O WTF have I started?!......
Yay new drtv! First time TH-cam app showed a notification for a youtube upload on my phone.
Which is better Canon G1X mark 2 or Canon G7X ????????
former
G1x Mark 1.
Seeing videos from you guys on compact and mirrorless cameras are awesome
I love watching you! Thank you for these videos!
Pissed myself at Nespresso!
The start of the video had me laughing so hard!
each one i guess :D
£800 in the UK - what the hell, that's ridiculous !!!! Great review.
I couldn't even tell you had the camera in your pocket. As you as you stuck it in there it was like magic and totally *disappeared* hahaha
Will you guys review the G3X soon?
Kai.. What baffles me the most is how you can shoot a picture while you are walking and still get perfect shot, do you keep the camera at a higher shutter speed?
Would personally rather take a Panasonic GM1 with 12-32mm and the 14mm f/2.5 or so.
my local photopusher has ordered one for himself since he had the first model of this series!
he uses a D800 for his Work but has the mk I version of this and was very pleased with it so he ordered this model!
Not here for the camera, I am here for Kai and Lok, u guys r awesome
I'm so confused. What does that camera have to do with Nespresso?
I have the Mk1 and am considering buying the Mk2 later on down the track. Glad the macro is only 5cm now, very useful.
Was the review filmed WITH with G1X II?
I loved the old mk1 version of this when it first came out.
Mark 1 is most superior G1x.
@@kishascapeow so, im a noob lookin at a g1x ii for 200 $ at my local classifieds, seems a better deal then a powershot g15 for 100$
I like you way of shares the idea of using cameras. Good job.
I'm visiting HK right now and I thought I might run into you guys, but apparently I moved into the Hostel at Causeway Bay two days to late :-D great video
Seems like a fun camera to carry around on your backpack on a daily basis.
Kai I love your commentary.
can you do review on a6000 ?
Choose the RX100 II or wait for the rumoured RX100 III with a pop-up built-in viewfinder and a 28-100mm f/1.8-2.8 lens.
How long does Canon expect that tiltscreen construction to last? A month, maybe two when you are careful? It looks so delicate.
I picked up a used EOS M with EF 22mm STM and I ended up loving it more than my 70D.
Can you do a episode on filming please?
I compared this to the sony rx100ii as mentioned in the description - chose the sony, and it blows the canon completely out of the picture.
I have an RX100 but I'm not sure it or the RX100 II "blows the Canon out of the water", as the Canon has a sensor 2.25x the size, and that's a lot. The Canon lens is also nicely wider at the short end (24mm vs. 28mm) and longer+faster at the long end, especially if you allow for the sensor size difference.

You try to reason with a fanboy. That's doomed to fail.
I thought so too at first (I have both right now), but the more I shoot with it, the more I realize the Canon is the better of the two.
***** Colours you can change as the RX100s shoot Raw and the noise seems pretty good to me on my RX100. The main gripe to have about Sony is they lossy compress the Raw files which can be an issue on some scenes. The Sony video modes are much better than the Canon though.
hahaha i didnt recognize you from the old G1X video 4 years ago. haha u gotten reaaly handsome with that new hair haha
Nice review! I'm still waiting on the A6000 review tho.
Not a bad camera actually but way too expensive.
Wait a year or so for the price to come down if you really want it
Canon will soon realize they have priced it too high
It is likely Nikon, Panasonic and Fuji will be coming out soon with their version of their compacts to compete with Sony and Canon
I am not into photography anymore but I will still watch these videos just for the humor lol
Can you guys review the sony a6000 I was wondering what you guys thought of it?
I will say this does have the most amazing lens design I've ever seen on a compact camera, Canon really got carried away (six independently moving groups, crazy) and I guess that's reflected in the price. The mk I lens with 2/3 the groups was widely reported as being very good so it'll be interesting to see how much better this is. I'm sticking with my RX100 though.
Yeah even after the Mark 3 the Mark 1 version is still the best G1x. I love it.
Nicely done guys. I came to similar conclusions about this camera as well. A photo geek's camera that doesn't win any beauty contests but takes beautiful pictures.
Any reviews regarding the g1x mark3?
did you scan the analogue pics to get them in the video?
hi, thanks for your reviews! which equipment did you use for shooting this video?
Heyy....I know my question is out of this subject however, I am also have a thing for watches, what kind of watch were you wearing in this video? I'd appreciate it. Nice video by the way.
He's wearing a Panerai. Not sure what particular model though :)
I'll keep my Sony RX100 MK2
Do you have a review of the G1 X Mark III
Please review the Canon G7X!
Still searching for slow piano music to match a Leica T review?
The world needs to see Kai and Lok wearing those shoulder holster cases, and opinions on the Audi Design T-Flap.
where did you get your shirt?
and nice green pants
i saw you on the testing trip on CWB!
a6000 review plz, thks :)
I liked the camera up until when he zoomed in, and looked like I'm watching the Pixel movie😂
Hmm. If the sensor is the same size as used by the m43 system, I wonder if someone out there is actually planning to use it in an actual m43 camera?
Really good review, guys. Humour, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sounds as if this camera has made gains in the right areas but just doesn't cut it against what's out there--esp on the mirrorless front. Surprising ISO performance!
Same ISO performance as the original.
Canon GX1 mark II sounds like an interesting camera, it's a shame about it's video quality and the price is a bit steep.
Would love to see a Sony a6000 review.
That's pretty cool, but not worth $800 more like $150 to $200 it should be.
I don't know, the lens on the original version was very high performing, probably worth a good chunk of $800 without the camera. This lens seems a big improvement and has the most amazing spec I can remember seeing for a fixed lens, with six independently moving groups. Canon really went for it on the design.
Plus Canon's suggested retail prices are highly fictional a short time after launches anyway...
I'll keep my RX100, but it is a hell of a lens...
You rather do review on g1x mk 2 instead of rx10?!
Does anyone know if Digialrev or Kai do photo tours or walks around hong kong?
Thanks for the review! I'll stick with my Sony RX100 pocket camera for now.
Never thought I would see the day where Sony digital cameras outshines Canon's.
please make a review about the samyang 14mm f/2.8 lens for filming.
looks like GM1 with the kit lens might be a better option
Indeed!
Flop. Again. They need to focus on the m series.
Getting rid of optical viewfinders sucks . . . here in the desert with zero shade those LCD screens are damn near impossible to see outdoors.
It has an optional EVF
mark III out soon ?
The colors look a bit more vibrant than previous Canons. To me, at least. Seems like a decent enough camera. And the price is still $400 less than the X100s, the standard bearer of compacts.
and the x100s is 3x more capable than that piece of shit.
villegas24 Not if you want to go wider or longer it isn't... Fixed lens cameras are a smaller niche than high-end compacts.
@@villegas24 No it isn't. Mentally defective loser.
What happen to Alamby?
Great job as always guys. Review the new Leica T. Kai will love it :)
Uploaded on my birthday!! :D
(just saying)
Is the Sony Alpha A6000 the best compact camera that has a viewfinder????
Am looking the original memory card for that camera please I have the some
Good looking shots.
Which set of lens I should buy 18-55+55-250 or 18-135
wow, I was expecting closer to half that price. Not sure why anyone would spend that much with so many better options.
Possible to have head to head with RX100III and G1X MkII? Pleaseeeeeeee
Review the A77 Mk 2 and the RX100 mk 3 please!!!!
May we request for you to review the Sony RX10. Thanks! More Power!
How would this camera compare to the G7x mark 2?
Better is de G7X, have the two. G1X have problema with cable flex on screen and lens, and it'is very heavy, uncomfortable.
Kai cant put a stick of gum in the pockets of the skinny "trousers" he wears.
Wifi and Nespresso in one pocketable camera... just what I need!! Great!!
What about the Pentax K3 Hand-On Review?? ;-)
COME ONE GUYS!!!
DPR virus is spreading!
More compact and mirrorless cameras reviews! :)
Great review
8:44. i know what you were taking a photo of. and at 8:47.
photographer cheap camera series again please!!
May i ask what camera and lens he is using to shoot this video? Thanks!
Anisah Ishak Canon 24-105 f/4 L IS USM
thanks! :)
Thats my old road ... I miss CWB!
Kai.....can you include the performance of the "Auto" mode in your review? because we might using the M mode, but some of us, didn't....especially the girls that own dslr...straightly referring to my girl actually...she keep using the Auto mode...I own d7000 n she own d5200, and both produce no so good pictures in Auto mode (especially at night).....maybe camera company should consider of enhancing the Auto mode of their camera....
looking good sportin' that Panerai Kai! =-D
Learned nothing about the specs.
nobody watches this channel for the specs... that would be like watching topgear for actually learning something about cars. xD...
Also he talks like James May, might've been his kid with an Asian woman.
Where is alambi?
doing selfies in sydney.
Could you guys please do a review on the fujfilm x-e2? I've been looking into it, and I'm not sure if its actually good. Thanks!
Kai must compare The G1 X Mark II to Nikon AW1 !!
Wait, this is heavier than an A7?
Kai lives in china I assume, so are people over there ok with some random stranger taking there photos? Cause people usually want to be asked for their permission before anyone takes a photo of them especially a stranger on the street.
its H O N G K O N G. Get your fact right.
im sorry for being ignorant as i dont know much about the place but isnt hong kong in china?
Hong kong and its people will never consider their country is in China. Its just a border to China. That's all.
***** Bad luck to those believing HK is a different country, the reality is British people don't want you and you are stuck with China.
***** Being abusive does not change the fact, keep dreaming f yourself.
+1 for the, "Oh, it's cold"

Nespresso feature!
When you say "heavier than an A7", do you mean body only or with a lens?? Not a very useful comparison! Good review though.
music at 2:20 onwards? please halp!!!!!!!!
