If I could only have ONE CAMERA

- One camera and one camera only, this would be my choice. Of course your choice would probably be different because everybody has different needs and are in a different place in their lives. I've already taken millions of pictures so I don't need the biggest most expensive cameras any more. This is just my choice. I travel a lot and this is my best travel pocket camera and also the one I grab the most for B roll shots that cut really well with full frame. Almost every TH-cam video I've made over the past two years were made with this camera.
There are still a few brand new ones left in the Sony store amzn.to/3I7FHfG

This is the difference in an honest and professional reviewer vs influencers.
I know right!? This guy's the real deal. Now he's got me spending extra for a camera I probably don't need. I was eye ballin' the X-E10 and now I'm leaning toward this bad boy.
I completely agree with Markus! I have the RX100 MK6 and the image quality is fantastic. The 24-200mm lens is very clear at all focal lengths. This is why the camera is so expensive. I didnt pay full price tho...I was luckly...walked into best buy to look an open box video camera and they couldnt find it. Then i saw online they had the RX100 mk6 open box for $950. Reg price was $1199 back then. But they couldnt find it in the store. So the manager said he would give me a new one for the same price as the open box.
Then when i went to the register it rang up for $899. I didnt say a thing...paid for it and ran out the door. LOL.
Okay now that was a great deal lol
I love these videos because this pro photographer is so down to earth, and he treats cameras as the tools that they are---a real minimalist. As someone who travels internationally I bought the A6000 sony camera a decade ago, or longer, because I wanted a step up from the small fixed lens cameras to something of much better quality, BUT that was still small. At the time the Sony a6000 was by far the smallest camera available with detached lens possibilities. Yes, the Sony rx1000 VII is a beautiful little camera :) I own it. But, I would hate to go on a long trip without the sony a6700 (the upgraded version of the a6000) with some great lenses. Bottom line, keep things simple, small, and lightweight. I never check my bags so I have to be so careful about equipment. Even the a6700 is a hassle to bring, and one thing photogs don't talk about, is that YOU BECOME A TARGET WHEN YOU ARE CARRYING AROUND A LARGER CAMERA, even APSCs. My Sony a6600 was stolen in Latin America along with all the lenses, something that would NOT have happened if I had been using a pocket-size camera.
May i ask what the title of your music is? Thanks
i researched and waited patiently for the a6000 to arrive in 2014. Switched from a t2i dslr i found the focus wasn't good enough for action shots (or maybe it was me). A6000 was a real game changer. sadly it died on me in 2020 after 30k pics, not that much... now i use a6400 but i got into m43 also. i cant imagine action and sports, wildlife without my compact 600mm m43 kit (outdoor) or alpha (indoor and outdoor, street etc.).
I agree with you. While I love my RX10 III I don't want to use it on a once in a lifetime trip...unless I was afraid my more expensive stuff would get lost or stolen (I main a Z8 and an A7R4). I am going to Italy next year and I may not bring a higher end camera due to that fear.
I don't think minimalists buy 1000s of pieces of high end gear... Depends what you're doing and the workflow. If you travel every week with a small bag then the smallest possible setup that gets you the results you need makes sense. As I get older I don't want to fuss as much and find the bells and whistles a useless distraction. Having said that, if you're spending millions of dollars a week on a star wars series or feature, the smallest lightest rig is irrelevant. Depends what you're doing.
It is not about the brand or the last tech out there but what really goes with you and makes you comfortable. So you can take the camera everywhere and take pictures/videos. this guy is an inspiration having the possibility to use the latest gear like any other fancy TH-camrs ,but he always chooses to be real and with simplicity creates greatness.
I think this might be the 2nd video you've made singing the praises of this camera. The results are really amazing. Thank you for taking us along on your trip. You're both looking fit and well ! Greetings from Prague
It's a good camera but how about an incredible cameraman. I suspect Markus could do this with a long list of cameras but thanks for showing us all what can be done with such a compact small camera.
After 50 years on this planet, taking pictures for 47 of them… I’ve had this camera since 2019, alongside both Canon and Sony full frame DSLR and mirrorless and I have to say this camera has been so darn versatile and yet capable across a breadth of applications and scenarios… it’s easy to just grab it on the way out the door as an EDC (Every Day Camera)… the results are fantastic… but that pocketability makes it addictive, when I’m without it, I feel like something is missing… worse than not having keys or wallet… nuts right… The RX100M7 is a bloody amazing bit of compact kit; can’t recommend having one enough. Great vid Markus, kudos!
I actually bought both the RX100 VII & RX100 V based on recommendations from a previous MarkusPix video from a while ago. I haven't regretted my decision. Awesome little camera's with a lot of professional features if you need to get into the weeds or just point & shoot if you can't be bothered playing with the settings. Perfect size for my use case which is travel videos & photography when I don't want to lug around a bunch of lenses etc. Thanks Markus!
Love my RX100M7! Such a powerhouse. Been on a quest to find the perfect travel setup - light and small... and I think I've found it! The RX100M7 paired with the RX1R II. Really hoping Sony continues both of these lines.
I wish they made another RX1R, but that thing was heavy
@@MarkusPixhello and great video. Have you wondered why Sony doesn’t make a RX100 mk8? It’s been some time and a lot of people would be ready to buy
That’s one of my combos.
One of the best videos. This clearly shows how good that camera is. Now I understand why it costs over 1000 euros.
It's not fair. Any camera is good with Cara. Love you both. Thanks Markus for your videos.
I already knew what you were gonna say before I loaded up the video lol I wouldn't mind getting one of those. One day maybe. It would be nice to have something that small. However, I've actually enjoyed using my mobile phone for some photos too. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. I've been really surprised and pleased with the image quality. Not great for low light, but I've gotten some surprisingly good shots with it. And since it's my mobile phone and it's almost always with me, it's my go-to every day camera.
No one can accuse you of not living life to the fullest. Some people have to live a life to learn how to live. You did it right the first time. Congrats !
I trusted you last year on this...bought it. You nailed it. Most of our videos and stills come off this little thing. It's brilliant!
When the stars line up for me to buy another camera, it will be this one, on Marcus' recommendation. And yours !
The first time you highlighted this camera I bought one. It truly is the one camera to take. I keep one in my car, so I always have a camera wherever I go. So much power an it slides right in the pocket. Great for street work, where you can be somewhat incognito. Thanks again for sharing.
Fell in love with your work, so gracefully done but what did you use for such amazing image stability if the camera doesn't have a built-in stabiliser and no gimbal to carry to DisneyLand 😂😂
Actually it does have stabilization. Not perfect, but pretty good. I can easily get rid of the remaining bumps with warp stabilizer with one click
I'm a ruthless specs nazi overlord and I will never repent. But I'm still tolerant of other people's choices to an equally extreme degree. I appreciate this video because that camera is probably the best in the world for taking pictures and shooting video, professionally, with the intent to sell your material afterwards, on sites that don't allow professional gear without expensive and complicated permits you have to apply for a long time before going there. Which takes all the fun out of exploring without a plan. Example: Good luck going into any building, church, cathedral or historical site in Rome with an SLR, even a small one, without someone popping right up to tell you can't use that camera there without one of those permits. With the RX100 VII, you're as covered, on the specs side, as you can be, and you'll never be accused of being a professional that can be milked for money anywhere.
I use this for stock photography and have licensed so many images from the RX100
Bravo!
That reminds me about my late father, which had a pretty similar story like this - some 30 odd years ago.
Being an owner of photo-finisher store it would be no surprise that he had owned tons of (film, of course😁) cameras. At his peak in 80's I fondly remembered him carrying a MAMIYA 645 camera around his neck. Quality wise it would be pretty darn good - for sure. But when traveling while others in the trip would be busy enjoying that trip, instead he's mostly busy taking pics and dragging around a large heavy camera bag full of accessories...
Fast forward to early 90's he finally gave up carrying that MAMIYA or even any other hi-end SLR camera, and settled down to a CONTAX T2 as his "travel/all purpose camera". Much easier to carry around, and it sit in its own class above all other compact cameras at that time too.😎
If he's still alive today he'd be around 80, and more than likely to replace his T2 with an RX100 as his "travel/all purpose camera" as well.
PS: still miss you sometimes, dad.😶
Awesome demonstration of the RX100 MVII! I still have my RX100 bought almost 10 years ago, still an excellent camera!
Markus I could not agree more, started with the first one. People just do not know what this camera can do. thanks
Great piece. Love the minimalist mindset. Create great content with what you have. Cameras have been more than good enough for nearly ten years. Enough research. Let's go make something!
I had started with the RX100 (mark 1). It was really good. The contrast between the RX100 and Cara's phone is amazing.
I agree about there being a big difference in video quality with the talking head cell phone footage and the RX100 Vii. RX100 vii footage is beautiful, but it is a dedicated camera.
I love it! The best combo is the Sony RX100M7, with the Sony X3000 and the Sony CX405. All fit in a fanny pack, and all use the same battery. These three cameras make a multi-shoot vlog really easy. Great video!
i was thinking exactly same about making a new equipment. glad to know too that same batteries are used
But the battery doesn’t last long, so I use an external battery
Great video Markus!
That is some amazing results with a pocket camera (which were largely killed off by smartphones). Imagining showing up to do wedding photography, or other professional shooting with that!
Sadly they would not take you seriously, I was once hired to be secondary on a wedding shoot, the guy told me to bring my own gear but only gave me this message when I had arrived having nothing but my LX10 pocket camera usually I leave it in the car.
So I used that, ironically the guy had all the latest gear and I was snapping away with the tiny LX10.
After the shoot the married couple asked what camera I had used, and I showed them because they could not tell the difference between my LX10 pictures and the photographers 5DM2 pictures except the depth of field at certain points.
Still, they refused to pay my full share because I was not a "professional"
Dumb people judge by looks, always been like that.
Yeah the LX10 is great! Half price brother of the RX100
@@SMGJohndid you sue?
@@jmackultra
Nope, I never did weddings anymore, the guy I worked for? He quit after 4 years and moved on.
Still got my LX10, and love it, as good as Sony? Nah, but its decent enough photography tool, I much rather use the RX100 for video though if I had a choice.
But like Markus says, its half the price, hard to argue.
The reason I would not use this (and many other decent cameras) for any pro work - especially weddings- is the single sd card. It's backup storage or bust for me. It's 2023 and I think every new camera should have memory backup (on board or card)
Marcus, I have to tell you, that as a late-60s starting YTer you have completely changed my view on the cameras I need for my channel. Thank you so much for what you do.
This video took me way back in time. The last and only time I had ever been to Disney World was back in November or December 1974. Right before they were getting ready to open the space mountain ride. I wanted to go on that ride so bad. It why we went to Disney in the forst place. However, there were construction delays that keep us from riding it. Nonetheless, Seeing the ride in the background just took me back to when I was 7 years old.
I had to watch the video twice to actually pay attention to the content and not revisit my youth. either way. Thanks guys for all the content you put out.
Just wow!
The music, the build.
I did a similar trip at Orlando with my A7RIii and my Rx100m3 and unexpectedly I found myself shooting 80% of my shots with the RX.
Also, 100% of my prints were from rx pictures.
I must be honest, the only reason I’m buying others is because I have excellent salesman in my region lolll. 😂
Love this video! and can't believe that haven't come across your channel before!
I bought this camera 3 years ago and took it on two holidays...loved it and I have great photos and footage from those holdiays. Then, stupidly, I sold it as I had this craving for a mirrorless camera, assuming it would have to be better that my RX100 vii.
Whenever i looked a photos from the RX100 that came up on my google memories, the stand out images were always from the RX100 vii
So, I've finally got one again now and will NEVER EVER let it go! :-)
As soon as I can afford one, I'll be buying.... That's how much I respect and trust your reviews! Thank you and I loved the shots of the both of you together!!! Such a nice couple!!
I really enjoy the content you produce, you come across as very sincere and genuine.
Thank you. I try.
How does it compare to the Sony ZV-1 II? That also has a 1" sensor.
This is amazing.....I can't wait to be able to take my boys to Disney. They are dying top goto the Star Wars land.....thats is a great camera....definitely on my radar.
This video is my favorite from all the video i ever watch in your channel . I prefer when you are showing a product the you like . I never finished a video where you put a product down . I’m subscribed to your channel and is for a reason , you do a very good job most of the time . Thumbs up to this video and thanks again
Love your content. Always honest and you both are fun people to watch.
RESPECT The whole 6 minutes of sample footage! This is probably the best RX100 ultimate review EVER.
Glad you liked it!
The movements of the the camera that you did are epic! Really really enjoy as I am walking with you there!
Oh cool , I was watching your videos lately and wondered what camera you use to record. Now I know, thank you.
... and a ZV 1 mark I in your other pocket for that one more stop of lowlight 1,8 vs 2,8 for inside video shots ... otherwise the two are virtually the same camera with the RX100M7 focusing on a zoom (200 mm) and photography advantage ... beautiful Disney World shots ...
Love my RX100M7 I use it a lot. Very often I am more comfortable using it than my Alpha 1, people a more comfortable with the small camera or they do not notice me filming due to the size. Great little camera.
Absolutely right ✅️ I have used many cameras, and for some reason, the freedom and versatility of using these small cameras always makes me want to take it along. I carry one every day I shuffle between Sony ZV-1 and ZV-1F.
I have the RX100 VII and it is an impressive camera. I was able to intercut with my Blackmagic cameras. For hyperkinetic fast moving shots it is my go to cam!
I really enjoyed this video. It really captures the spirit and essence of Disney World. I felt like I was along on the trip with you. I would love to have an RX100 one day, but its too expensive for me to afford right now. By the way I have seen so many of your videos that you and Cara kind of feel like family.
Keep up the good work. Thanks for making videos. You keep making them and I will keep watching them.
I was there in 2011. It was a wish come true reviving my childhood memories back from 1975 when I lived over in the US as a child. I'd love to visit again if I could. Great video quality!
Cool. This along with my phone is probably all I need. For now.
I would like to leave the phone at home sometimes. ✌️
this video is fantastic, your story telling is very good
we see camera gears and at the same time we enjoy the landscapes
to my eyes as a viewer, you guys looking cool and real at the same time
keep it up and listen to no one who is jealous of you my friend
I always enjoy this channel, the one channel that doesn't sell BS. I feel about cameras the same way as I feel about motorcycles. The best camera is the one you have.
Right on
Thanks for another great video proving that the heaviest or latest and greatest camera isn't always needed. I recently got my hands on a Coolpix A, the only aps-c point & shoot from nikon. I now feel confident enough to leave my big caged mirrorless workhorse at home and capture photos just for myself on the fixed 28mm equivalent focal length. P.S. I love your collaborations with Kasey @CC.
Also ignoring camera talk and being real, your hair is incredible and your signif other's physique is also incredible. I love seeing folks past their 40s who still look great and take care of themselves and put in effort. My wife and I aspire to be like the two of you. (Even though I am a guy I have a build close to your wife but obviously not as thin because of guy frame but I am very toned and don't want bulk so while I do weights 3 times a week I do higher reps and medium weight vs my max I am more cardio centric)
ive had it since 2019, and apart from the mk6 having a bigger picture buffer, it really is STILL the best pocket camera! i have my mk1 also and thats also great as its the lightest one of them all!
Great Camera! I would add the small grip attachment and handle.
Hola same hire. From Nikon F2 to Nikon 9000. I have the V with me and works. I don't do film is composition. Well done amigo and complements from Cape Town. One Guatemala
Hi Markus, I appreciate your videos and I just purchased my own Sony RX100 VII. I’m going to have a lot of fun with it.
Welcome to the club!
Thank you for your content Markus! Ever since I saw your video about Sony RX100 mark 7 I got really interested in it. Recently I was able to acquire a Sony RX100 mark V for 498$ and I truly enejoyed it . I’m looking forward to acquire this Mark 7 in the near future.
Peace!
wow thats amazing video and stills from such a compact camera but i suspect it has a lot to do with the great man behind the camera😊 love all your videos
One thing is certain. Markus knows how to make a film, in this case a short video. Excellent job done. The only quibble I have about his camera is the fact that you cannot get an eye-cup for the pop-up viewfinder. 😁
Great Video Markus. The audio you put on this made it an enjoyable experience.
I see you ate at the French restaurant. I was there more than 20 years ago. Not much has changed in the restaurant.
Well, Markus, it finally happened: I was able to buy the RX100VII this morning from Amazon! And, my friend bought the last remaining RX100VII for sale. Thanks once more for your reviews. You are relevant!
I'm watching your video thinking "that looks like a travel video that Disney put together!" I took my kid in 2022 and ended up bringing the a7c with an aftermarket 35mm lens. I should have just brought my Rx100. Well done!
Bravo , folosesti doar ceea ce te face fericit , bravo
Enjoyed walking around Disney park with you and your wife, Been there 35 yrs ago and loved it, great little compact camera 🤩🤩😎😎😊
Well I guess the RX100 VI or VII would have to be it. It has a good zoom range, decent lens and decent image quality, plus it's not treated as a "professional" camera like an interchangable lens camrae. In fact I had a friend who went to a Chicago Cubs game with one and they let him use it, but the person behind him couldn't bring their DSLR in.
And I think while the RX100 and other 1" sensor cameras may not have the best high ISO performance or dynamic range (compared to a fully fledged APSC or FF mirrorless/DSLR) it will let you focus on photography and video more and less on gear. The interchangable lens version of this would probably be one camear body and a travel zoom, something that goes maybe from 24mm to 200mm. or 35 to 200mm. One lens, one camera, and that's it. But this I think is ideal for most things. Because when you're going on a vacation like to Disney World or something, it's about capturing moments and memories, not necessarily about dynamic range or pixel count or whether there's a ton of noise at ISO 6400 or not (there may be, but it's a bout capturing memories, a moment, and or emotion and I think that's one thing we've sort of lost with all the new cameras that can do 40 fps or 8k video, etc. We've become obsessed with camera specs and some of us have gotten so obsessed we have sort of deviated from WHY we photograph (or chose to take up photography) in the first place, because we are so engrossed with the specs and capabilities.... A camera like this, or doing the "one lens challenge" with a normal camera will free you to focus on photography or video and less on gear, and that's important. It's a hard thing to overcome but I think this is what sets the good pro photographers apart from the gear heads -- the pros pay attention to the details and specs, but they don't let it take over their photography and they don't obsess about 1/4 of a stop of DR differences between models or sensors. Stuff like that.
you just nailed it...the video was phantastic and showed the photographer / videographer make the content with any camera. Just great. thx a lot for sharing. Jog
I didn't understand why people were so into those when I was getting back into photography a few years ago. After using various "modern" consumer grade cameras and learning about vlogging, I see why the RX has a following. Every once in a while I look at point n shoot style cameras but they don't quite fit my needs. Great video showcasing the little monster👍👍
Thank you, superb video and message.
Thanks Markus. Another down to earth video on making practical camera decisions. Keep it up, and save many of us from GAS! 😄
Great shots! I used to work as an entertainer at EPCOT! That's where I met my wife. I was working at the Mexico pavilion and she was working in the Chinese pavilion!
I LOVE the Mexico pavillion!
Will they make mark 8 and RX10 V with Exmor T sensor technology?
Love your channel, love your enthusiasm and spirit. You singlehandedly convinced me to buy a rx100 vii over using my 15pro for our upcoming family vacation. Sony should hire you.
Would love to see a video on one of the smartphones like the iPhone 15 Pro, Galaxy S23 Ultra or Pixel 8 Pro and how their cameras compares to the point and shoots! I'm really surprised at the quality they can produce.
Despite living an ocean away you've got me singing 'It's a small world' in my head. Grrrrrrr 😂 Thanks, I guess.
Your favourite camera is a very personal thing. I have some decent Sony APSC cameras (a6000, a6300, a6700) with a variety of zoom and prime lenses for specific uses but my old silver Olympus EM5 M2 is the camera I reach for all else being equal. There is just something about it which makes me want to pick it up and play with it. Maybe it's the ergonomics or the retro look or its small size for an interchangeable lens camera, especially if paired with the pancake kit lens or a small prime like te 17mm (34 mm full frame equivalent). I am not an artist and just shoot for fun, in JPEG, , trying to get good pictures straight out of the camera ... at most with some small cropping and minimal adjustments in post. Great hobby !
Wow... you're only down the road! Vacation or some kind of work? Agree with RX100. Too bad you don't have a meet and greet while you're here!
I know you would say about this camera. I usually used those bulky packages with me for my trekking. but when I used, this, I carry a 40ltr backpack, an iPhone 14 and this little wonder RX100M7.
Amazing! Thank you for the honest insight. Great photos videography!
I am new to this camera. You make the videos and photos look awesome. I wonder if you can or have done a video with some generalized settings on the camera of how you make everything look so awesome. I haven’t figure out how everything look so crisp and magical. Would you, or someone be able to point me to a video of yours that describes your settings as a starter?
Just start by putting it on Auto, its very good even that way. Then after a while progress to P mode where you can make it lighter or darker if you want.
Thanks you two. Great work. I love the music choice. The video was good, the voice levels were great. I hope you had fun doing it which I suppose is the single most important thing.
Kara doesn't need to pose she pretty just being natural
Amazing Video. THANKS SO MUCH
What's The Model of The Camera?
Sony RX100vii
Thank you for all you here Markus.
me too. eversince I bought this little gem, I have used it more than any other camera I own. I love that it has a leaf shutter and you can get great flash shots and dim out the sun.
my wishlist for the next itteration is built in ND filters.
I stopped carrying a small camera around, opting to use my iPhone, and recently, had the urge to get a camera. After struggling to make a choice, I saw your videos and just picked up the RX100. Thanks for your channel.
I want to find a fixed lens camera that would be great for concert photography! I was thinking maybe the Sony RX-1
Just discovered your channel Markus - l love your take on things -
My favorite camera guy. Thanks for the video!
That was fun to watch nice camera. You know what my favorite one is Markus. Keep the reviews coming for the Sony CX-405 You and Cara have a relaxing evening.
Lots of people like to crap on Sony and also discount anything less than full frame sensors and more recently any camera without a gizillion mega pixels. From an amateur’s point of view, I like my full frame Sony A7, the original one, paired with the Sony 24-135 G lens, the results are perfectly acceptable. However, I’m retired, love to travel and have both the Sony RX100 mk V and the mk VII. The V is an excellent camera with outstanding results, especially in low light and I recently bought the VII for the high end sensor, the 200mm equivalent lens and so many other features. I get very sharp shots and get perfectly acceptable results blowing them up to 11 X 14 size by printing them in coffee table books for my family and friends to enjoy when they visit. Carrying the V or the VII in my shirt pocket and having all that capability in such a lightweight and convenient package is worth the high price in my mind.
SOLD! The timing was perfect for me seeing this video, I, too, have several cameras (all full frame) and I'm getting ready for my first trip to England and I wanted to travel light. After watching this, I feel convince this Sony camera can get the job done. So thank you.
Very nice, sweet video, Markus!
Heartfelt there towards the end. 😊
Hi Markus. Did you use a stabilizer with the camera?
And what’s your source for music selections like the one you used in this video ?
Excellent videos and stills. Thanks for taking us along.
Nice presentation.
Sensor, glass, optical zoom, and EVF all make a difference if you want very high IQ in a flexible package. Phones do a great job to a point, and they keep getting better. If I only had 1 camera, it would be my RX100m7, but when I'm shooting video, I find the ZV1m1 (same thing under the hood, really) to be a more convenient package. The 1" sensor in both truly punches above its weight. Very good work can be done with the RX100m7.
I have both cameras you mentioned and 9/10 times I always choose the smaller point and shoot to take with me when I go out! It’s really an impressive device.
As you were teasing this I KNEW you were gonna pull out the RX 100 - which is my go-to camera although I have the Mark V.
Great video. I've been yearning for an RX100 for a long time. So many times I've wished I had a pocket camera with me when an amazing photo op occurs. I'm watching for used ones. I could buy a new one but that price is daunting.
I really enjoyed your trip to Disney World, you have inspired me to get the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III so I don't have to lug around my 5D Mark IV or R6 on my next trip to Disneyland.
Your Sony camera sounds like the perfect travel cam and vlogging cam. Myself, I would go with the Nikon z6ii or z5 for travel, however the Nikon z30 is even smaller for travel. Thanks for demonstrating what the Sony can do.
Cellphone video looks great. Do a comparison review with that camera.
Great video, my friend! Love it!!
