Summary for the lazy:
1. Slomo + Battery. (Great slomo. Battery dies quickly)
2. Audio + Windscreens (You NEED windscreens!)
3. Screen (Gets scratched easily.)
4. Autoexposure (Most annoying thing about the camera.)
5. Audio (Pretty good, but you can not add an external mic.)
we love you man. do this more often and you got a fan base
Sir, we need more people like you on the internet
I was too lazy to even scroll at the comments. Thanks
Times would have been good too :)
Subscribed to lazy facts!
Love this camera and glad you kinda talked me into it.
I would add that when it's day time you'll want to set the ND filter to be on. Also if you have a darker complexion you'll need to remember to turn it off in low light situations, and you will need to set the camera for Phase Detection, vs Contrast detection so it can handle autofocusing better.
Roberto Blake would you say the G7x mark I does a better job with adjusting exposure?
ayy roberto
Just a note, what I love about the RX100mk5 and 4 is that you can charge them while you're using them. My RX100mk5 sits in a berghaus case next to a 6000mAh USB battery bank. A small 90 degree USB cable charges it while it's in the case. With a longer 90 degree cable of sufficient quality, you can leave it tethered and topped up for hours.
Sara you are by far my fave youtuber ever. You and John Hill are the only youtubers I watch every time they post. Big love!! And stay peachin'
Awesome review. It's great to hear a review where the bugs or annoyances are discussed instead of everything being peachy :)
BEFORE YOU SCROLL DOWN!!
This is the camera I used for shooting my videos and trust me, it works like a charm!! Audio is great and amazing settings on it. Aperture controls are so handy and the programmable ring is perfect! Perfect for vlogging! Great video by the way!
I shoot the RX 100 V for stills daily. I've found that outdoor exposures are set better if you use the center option. I also go to DMF frequently so that I can tell the AF to set for the subject and not what's behind them.
I’ve had this camera for about 4 years, and it’s awesome! I have extra batteries and an extra charger. Great camera! I bought it at Best Buy, and it hasn’t lost much value. Thank you for the review. Good advice on the audio.
So much love! Huge Sony fan myself, just vlogged a six day trip to New York with my wife on the A7RII and RX100 M3
I'd like to add, if you own the RX100 IV, the V isn't a MAJOR step up, it's probably not worth the upgrade. Great video Sara, keep up the awesome work!
Yes, the lack of a mic input jack is a deal breaker for this to be the primary vlogging camera. But these point and shoots are great as a secondary cam.
Great tips! I have a Sony Rx100 V too and I absolutely love it 🙏🏼
You have no idea how much I wanted you to do this video. I just got that camera. Now I know what to get. Thanks!!
Agreed on all this, but I've been using the wasabi batteries and they're working fine for me! Loving the camera. Sara, you were one of the reasons I got it!
Honestly, I was a total hater when I first saw one of your random vlogs, but that was SO naive of me. Now I enjoy the heck out of your videos, and your spunk really keeps that interest flourishing. You seem like the type of person I would befriend if I ever actually moved from Seattle to New York haha. Anyways, I'm officially subscribing righttt... Now. Cheers!
On cameras you can lock exposure to avoid exposure shift during a video.
I don't vlog but I've purchased both the RX 100 V and it's cousin, the $300-$350 HX80 which is almost identical in form factor/design. The limitations of the HX80 is a smaller sensor, no 4K, no slow motion, no ND filter. The pros being a 30x (720mm) zoom, nearly identical design and $700 cheaper than the RX 100 V. I'm more willing to put the HX80 in a pocket or do something more dangerous with it than the RX 100 V. The 30x zoom is actually pretty awesome coming from a DSLR that requires a huge lens. Sure, the quality isn't perfect but I have got quite a few shots lately that I normally wouldn't have with my Canon that I also wouldn't have with the RX 100 V. I figured I'd offer this as an alternative for folks who might want to vlog but simply can't justify $1000 but want similar features/function that the RX 100 V offers. I'm keeping both. Sucks to carry two but they compliment each other very well.
Also, be careful with the aftermarket batteries. I had a charger nearly catch my house on fire (melted the back of it) while charging a battery, 30 minutes after it arrived. One battery showed fully charged but died after 5 minutes worth of picture taking. They've been emailing me trying to have me remove my review offering me a replacement. I wouldn't be surprised if this has happened to more people.
Just bought this camera. Kind of worried about the mic but time will tell! Thanks for the tips
so how is it a year later?
Sara, regarding auto exposure, put nd filter also on auto. It will probably help for those kind of situations.
Thanks for the tips, Sara! Just got this camera, so excited to use it!
I love mine. Hate the Battery drama though. Also the endless settings menu that just keeps going. By the time I changed the setting I missed the shot. But really what other camera does the Higher frame rates for slo mo at such a wonderful price. Its also draws less attention which is great. It really is a great camera. I did a vlog in Myrtle Beach SC with it and I couldn't believe the qaulity I got from it. The RX100 is just plain Peachy ;)
Thanks Sara! This is really helpful, I've been scared to get this camera because of there being no audio jack but your audio sounds pretty good in this video!
I was wonderering how you could reply to so many comments, then i realised how few subs you have! You deserve so much more!!! Your videos are so good!!!
I totally agree with the screen protector. I definitely found that my screen gets scratched so quickly!
Didn't check the comments, but if you're worried about battery life. You can use a micro-usb external battery to charge the camera while you're using it.
Thanks for the tips. I have the Mk 3. Love it. I see someone below already suggested stopping down the automatic exposure. That may work for outside but then you may have to brighten interior shots in post. A no win situation. Hmmm. Love your imaginative creations. So good at what you do.
Do you like your III? I'm thinking of buying one
Hey Sara just a tip with the overexposed vids... camera has three metering modes... Multi, Center, and Spot.. all three are useful in different situations... if you read up a bit on them you'll find that you can fix the overexposed videos/photos. Also be aware of what kind of scenery you are recording... you can predict how the camera will behave. Depending on the metering mode you are using. If you have a scene where you have a lot of darks covering the frame... then the camera will tend to overexpose your face... if you have a lot of whites in the frame... the camera will underexpose... this is when compensation comes in handy... anyway. Thanks for your informative video and good luck
I absolutely love the rx-100v..Watching your vlogs inspired me to get one...Still a canon guy.."I think"🤔..But it's the best point and shoot hands down
You and erik inspired me to start making my own videos! Thankyou for making your channel such an inspirational, motivational and positive place! -Always staying peachy🍑🇳🇴
The 'Art of Photography' Ted has done some interesting stuff with his Sony RX100 V with external audio recorders etc.
this is a thousand dollar camera why am i watching this
hahaha. Check out my latest upload. No thousand dollar camera there.
Yeah the lack of audio input is the deal breaker for the 100v for me. I float between my d5300 and a GoPro... a high quality camera to use in between the two would be so nice I'm just not sold quite yet. Hoping the VI is improved :)
I have a d5300 but hate the autofocus when filming myself... so much hunting. How do you go about this?
Hmm. Thanks for the review. Food for thought. It is disappointing that no mic input has been built in as my HDR-CX190 doesn't have one either and would like one. Using and synching from a recording mic (Zoom H100) is a pain. I love my 30x zoom so much and the little pocket (at a pinch!) size camera seems to be built like a tank -I've dropped on hard surface so may times and after a few seconds of concussion it is up and running again. I have to say I have had no problems with the screen becoming marked and I've done almost 100 youTubes plus extra stuff with it. Wind however is an issue. That was another reason for the Zoom H100 and Lavelle mic. More and more stuff to use on location up hills in the rain and snow!
For a video which is someone just talking to a camera you're amazing at this. Nice work!! Subscribed!
GREAT tips Sarah! I'm in the market and considering my options so this was very helpful.
Exposure. I always run the Sony´s with Lv1 and back it down with exposure at -0,7. Then it will not blow the highs and still do not crush the shadows. I always runt with this settings.
Excellent video, Sara. Good information from someone who's very familiar with this camera.
I had the RX100 iii and I just couldn't stand it. I think it was the exposure problem for me! I decided to get a GoPro 5 session instead just to record my gym workouts! It's a big jump in quality and style but it works :)
Quick tip on exposure. Set the camera to manual, then you can go into settings and change the lens ring function. I set my f stop to 1.8, shutter speed = frame rate, then have the ring adjust ISO. (I care more about depth of field remaining constant than I do about iso grain) you can also do the inverse, set the iso either specifically or to auto and if you get washed out have the ring controlling fstop. Having the ring basically exclusively control exposure is awesome because it's easy to make adjustments on the fly (even mid film without any noticable toying with the camera)
Also you might try messing with your ND filter settings as it will prevent washing out like that.
hi there! nice video and Vlog! i subscribed and like it! Peace from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia!
What's your take on the a6000? I use the a6000 to vlog and i absolutely love it. Excellent picture and sound quality. Probably my favorite camera I've had yet.
I love the speed at which this review was edited! Super good!
So glad I saw your video! Was contemplating on this camera for a long time!
Great video. Love where you are in the frame. Love your energy. I like how you are sitting down and talking to us and the height of the camera. There were a few videos where you were standing in.your living room. This is way better.
Any opinion on the 4 vs the 5? There's about a $300 difference and I heard that the 4 isn't that different.
I use an external USB battery 20000mAh and i connect to rx100 with a long mini usb wire. So, no more 40$ battery :)
links to what you use?
Freaking genius,man. Never thought of this
SUBSCRIBED
lol.
Subed too
me too
Same 👌
John Hill t
Tascam DR-10L with Rode Videomicro...you have to sync audio in post but its easy and really rocks...IMHO
Thanks for the tip! Been loving this camera but I have to agree with the auto exposure issues
If you're not happy with where the auto exposure exposes the picture, that's what exposure compensation is for.
"The point of a point and shoot is to be able to point and shoot." Love the comment, also value the feedback as I was considering the $1k purchase today.
I like how fast it focused when you put the battery up to the cam and away
ciao Sara remember that during the winter and at low temperatures near 0 degrees(c) lipo batteries have a reduction of total capacity hi from Italy
I dig your channel and your personality. Keep it up. I subscribed. I came because I am considering the Sony RX100 V as a pocketable/travel camera when I don't want to lug around my DSLR. So, thank you for the tips! P.s. that LaCroix stuff is yucky! :)
Comprehensive vid :) can't wait for the Belize vlogs!
this was SO HELPFUL!!!!! I really want to buy a vlog camera once I get a little bigger of a following and I will definitely refer to this video when Im looking for a vlog camera!!
Good review, didn't know about the downsides. I subscribed. Cheers.
i always love seeing you talk tech
Holy shit.. doing research for a family member that has this camera and who do I find as soon as I search for it!
Booooom! The peachy one!!! Lmao
Yoooo you maaaaad young here lmao.. you came a long way sis 💯
Young Deitschy salute!
I don't have a screen protector on my mark2. It scratched the moment I put it in my purse. But then I found a thin neoprene case, and it's been fine since. Finding one that fits perfectly takes some doing. I was lucky with a Daiso case (long gone, unfortunately). So a neoprene case is an alternative. They don't add bulk. But of course it adds a few seconds of taking it out of the case.
try spotmetering. It will set exposure on your face (if it's in the middle) or use exposure compensation
not even looking to buy it, but watched anyway...true fan.
Nour Aljowaily Same 😂😂
Sara, I have the direct opposite problem to you regarding auto-exposing my skin. I set my camera to over-expose by 1 stop, so my surroundings are a little blown out. You could try under-exposing by 1 stop, but it means darker environments, and your darker friends, won't be as vibrant :)
My suggestion is to activate the built in ND fliter.
Nice, really useful information and detailed! It not a cheap camera so definitely good to know the quirks. I'm finding the audio a bit poor especially in my flat as it echoes a lot.
I love the camera although really with it had a touch screen to do some pull focus. That'd be cool.
Autofocus is excellent too :)
I bought a Duracell spare battery for it, do they just perform really poorly? Or effect the camera in other ways?
The 3rd party batteries work just fine in my RX100 IV. Part of the reason I got it is because it shared the same batteries as my action cam at the time. What's different in V compared to the IV that the batteries don't work?
Center metering for auto exposure? You seem to be in the middle of the frame, so it'll expose for you. You can also try point metering.
Infectious personality, could definitely learn a thing or two off you! Subscribed.
Nice review. Cool personality, seem like a chill person! Enjoy Belize... I'm going to Miami in a few days (next best choice? lol)
Uhhhmmmm, About the Batteries. I bought some generic batteries from Amazon and they work fine and they were real cheap. The brand is Powerextra, (replaces NP-BX1).
Thanks for that. We making daily videos now and mostly we should with the 7S and 5100! We thinking about buying the RX for vlogging!
great video!!! I just bought mine and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Excellent camera. BTW, there are ways to get good quality audio (external mic) with this camera.
Thanks for this! Just bought an RX100 and so keen to VeeLog on it! :D
I'm getting Philip Defranco vibes towards the end somehow! Haha love it. I so want one of these cameras!! ❤
Great comments and review! Thank-you!
Sony rx100 mark 5 is amazing. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it.
I have the rx100m5 and I use third party battery every day. They just work as the original one.
GREAT!!! Excellent tips on the Sony,
BIG LOVE TO YOU SARA!!!
Thumbs up guys and show apreciation :)
I love your vids! x
All my videos are shot with the Sony a7s and Sony a6000.
subscribed :)
Use the built in ND filter to fix the over exposing issue.
The compatible batteries "Patona" and the charger works.
Great video! Subscribed!
This was super helpful! I believe if you turn the dial on the lens it adjusts the exposure...don't quote me on that though I' not 100% sure!
I really like this camera, but don't like the way apps are sold by Sony via the Playstation Network. The only way I could purchase the time-lapse app, (standard on G7x G7xII), was to buy Playstation tokens via Amazon.co.uk. It rejects direct payment via credit cards. Playstation support doesn't talk to Camera support. The Sony organisation is a monster, just like dealing with the IRS, they are kind of inefficient but communicate as if they are God and we are insects!
The video option offered by the app is AVI, which is a different format from that output as standard by the camera. I know we call the Sony RX100v a point and shoot, but it has lots of settings right through to fully manual exposure, so to say it's a point and shoot is rather like putting a Box Browne in the same category as a Leica.
The camera is good . . . but it won't make anyone a better photographer because as Henri Cartier-Bresson said: “It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head.” ;)
Sarah, you look like a healthy Amanda Bynes (90's Nick Amanda!) in this video! Lol I'm a fan!
I use the Sony NEX-5R for my videos and for vlogging so I'm hoping to get the Sony RX100 V really soon! I was just going to buy it Aswell. I've never been so excited to own a point and shoot 😁
Same here. I had the NEX5, NEX6 and A600 before switching to Fuji. The little Sony RX100V is my every day pocket camera for video and some stills. It's a blast to use. Slippery little brick though. Always wear the wrist strap!
Elaine D NEX cameras are so good but I don't like how it gets hot quickly
I never had that experience of overheating with my NEX5, NEX6 or A6000. I guess I was lucky. Sony really needs to address that problem. I switched to Fuji for stills because I liked the quality of stills, but the Sony trounces the Fuji in video.
Elaine D wow really fujifilm is sharper for stills?
Yeah, the Fuji X lenses are tack sharp.
I just got it without knowing you used it. A lot of the issues you mentioned didn't matter because I got a package from BuyDig.com with 2 extra batteries, screen protectors and a crazy amount of other goodies. Also for a mic, I got a Zoom H1 if I ever need it, not sure how I'll conveniently use it though. I'm really wanting to get into vlogging again and get a little more artsy. And went a little crazy this tax season. Kinda wish I had gotten a Rylo as well. Great when your hands are full and don't have to actually point, just shoot.
please move videos without sitting! love your action lvogs!
Adorable. Great tips and overview. Thanks for your awesomeness!
I just got my rx100M5 and at first few shoots, the wasabi batteries seem to work fine. May I ask for more details on why the Sony batteries are preferred?
I got a big shoot this weekend, so any tips on why Sony batteries are preferred would be muchly appreciated.
My non-SONY batteries are OK too.
Hey Nicholas how have the wasabi batteries done since this post? thx
Love the camera! Thanks for the tip, Sara!
Btw, why choose the Sony batteries compared to the Wasabi ones? Did you notice that the Sony batteries held better charges than the 3rd party ones?
I have the MIII version and an older NEX and have trouble with it choosing intelligent exposure. I typically have to run a couple steps down in exposure compensation, but then sometimes have to run a couple or even 3, stops high.I'm sure someday it will be intelligent enough to pick out your face against a dark background and expose accordingly, and vice versa, but it does seem like a tall order. Ditto on the MIII, my screen is trashed! I have a roll of fake fur fabric. Every couple of months I glue on a new set of fuzzies over the mics NOW HERE IS AN AWESOME IDEA! Instead of a pop up flash, which hardly anyone probably uses. I may have never used it, put in pop up directional mics that recored a separate track. I would def put that in my ultimate vidlife camera. How is focus hunting? I find it pretty terrible on the MIII.
Good points... aside from the first one. The Wasabi batteries are superior to the Sony. I use ONLY the Wasabi ones and they would last for 400 captures.... By the way, you don't "film" your vlogs, you capture them... There's no more film. The rest of your points are valid... The exposure point is half correct, but than again, set it up correctly in Manual. Point and soot is still superb in Manual mode.... The fully automatic mode is still a machine and a computer trying to do your eye and brain work at once and fast. Yes, it is good, but never good enough. Always use Manual.... I will subscribe....
HUGELY HELPFUL! thank you! looking for better camera for daily.. we carry a Canon 70D for our daily stuff, and need another camera to help in different areas, esp when a DSLR isn't necessarily acceptable...
Great video as always ;)
Second
LOL VLOG BOMB!
Hey guys congratulations both for your greats channel!! Anyone knows if is posible to connect sony ecm-xyst1m microphone to sony rx100v, i see some videos with the mark 2 but very bad quality information... thanxs
thank you for your review it help out a lot.
Awesome Review
Thanks Sara, I've been look to pick up an RX100 mkv for vlog-ish stuff and it's good to know what I'm getting into.
The Battery Issue was the reason I chose the Canon G7X. You can use any 3rd party battery for as low as 16,99 $
also the on board mic is better on the Canon + Image Stabilization. But obviously the RX100 V has the great Carl Zeiss lens and you can tell the difference.
That is a great vid, thanks for the info..
Mine's arriving in a few days, can't wait hah.
