No, I just bought my 2nd a5100. It fills my needs perfectly. I always do separate sound, so it checks boxes for my needs. I paid 500 for both of my a5100's with lens and a bunch of accessories. Good review. I think I would spend the extra 100 and get an a6400
I'm a backpacker and I bought this and made a little rig with it that works perfect. I use trekking poles when backpacking and got the Sony remote RM-VPR1. That remote has a spring loaded clip so I clip it on the trekking pole by the handle. I keep my trekking poles at 135cm and run the remote cable to the end of the trekking pole. To install the RX0 Mark II at the end of the trekking pole I got what is called "The Stickpic" which is made for the end of my trekking pole and has a 1/4x20 thread for the RX0 MarkII. For audio, I just picked up the Rode Wireless Go and clip the receiver to the end of the trekking pole (I keep the snow/mud shield on) by the RX0 Mark II and put the transmitter on my shirt collar and use its built in Lav mic (until I got this unit a couple of days ago, I just used a lav mic and ran the cable down the pole. Lastly, since a lot of my footage is when it is lower light, I put a Litra torch on a little ultra light weight tripod called the "UltraPod" and velcro it half way up the trekking pole. Being able to have the RX0 Mark II about 3 to 4 feet away, start/stop video (plus set focus and zoom in and out) with the push of a button, with lighting and good audio for a total weight under a pound is invaluable when on multi night or multi week back pack trips. Also, I'm reusing a trekking pole, I use the remote shutter release for other things, I use the Litra torch for other lighting needs when filming at camp, the Rode Wireless Go I use for all my dialog audio on camera now, and even the UltraPod gets reused as a tripod I put the RX0 MarkII on and can attach to a tree branch, or just put it on the ground. This solution, if I was to carry an equivalent FF or APS-C based solution would be several pounds (plus the setup has to be able to function for weeks outdoors in adverse conditions). Now, with everything I mentioned, my solution (not counting my trekking poles) is a little over $1,000 total, but that also covers audio, lighting, and specialty tripod. I will be going to Idaho solo for 2 weeks at the end of May and will give the setup a real run for its money.
hello I would like to ask you a question which has the best image quality on video the sony rx100 m7 or the sony rx0 m2 ?? I don't know much about cameras but I would like you to help me choose ... thanks
@@TheEverythingMan you hit all of the key points in your review. I am going to compare it to the zv1 which after a short time I know it’s going to lose and catalyst stabilized footage of the rx0 vs the GoPro 9. You are right this is such a niche camera. It’s fun when you first get it but when would I really use this? I got it used on Amazon for $555 so it’s still too $$. I will probably return it also. I am not sure if Sony will continue with the next gen 3. Anyway stay safe !
@@TheEverythingMan Cool how did you have it mounted? I thought maybe you had the Edutige on the RX0 II because it looked like it was mounted directly from the mic jack using a right angle adaptor.
Oh my bad I thought you meant from the main camera I was filming from. That’s a little Saramonic mic. I did a review on it for the Osmo Pocket if you look back a few videos. It’s directly in the RX02, it bends
@@TheEverythingMan Cool I know exactly the mic you are talking about. I have been meaning to pick one up and test it. Thanks for making video I have been thinking about getting the RX0 II but I just can't get past the lack of continuous autofocus. If they had a mode that allowed everything to be in focus I might go for it.
Great review, just found this channel and subbed. Sorry if you've mentioned it before, but what are your top action cameras? Got links to your review videos on them? Thanks!
Man, that really sucks.... That feature makes a lot of sens for vloggers especially, I don't know why they would take it out. Hopefully they will reintroduce it with a software update.
@@TheEverythingMan I just watched a video of someone streaming on the rx0 ii and he was able to adjust focus while filming. You statements gave me the impression that was not possible. Is your model able to adjust focus while recording?
Does it still have the preset focus that was on the rx0 with near mode and far mode? On my rx0 the far mode is essentially infinite focus so anything beyond my arms reach is pretty much in focus. Works fine for my uses, and you can adjust to near mode wile shooting with one button
i was wondering if you would like to try out the metal cage for sony RX0 II? richer extension and no hinder on flip screen or any controls~ let me know if any interests.
What it says about focus in the manual: 'For movies, you can first set the focus before recording, and then later readjust the focus during recording by pressing the SHUTTER/MOVIE button halfway down. (Set [AF-S during mov rec] to [On] in advance.)'
boss im new in your channel can i ask this question, out of topic but you can help me to decide to buy a camera which one is good "Gopro7 black or canon gx7 mark ii? hope you can help me =)
Greetings from Seychelles! Man you make my day with your videos, “take your leg 🦵” 😂😂😂 there goes your image stabilization’s. Thanks for the video mate.
Why is everyone missing PF mode...? While not continuous AF, it is just fine for vlogging. You CAN turn near focus on / off while recording when you're in PF with the click of one button. Facing yourself, you'll be in focus at arms length with near on, turn the camera, hit the one button, and pretty much everything at a distance is in focus. If they put a button for that on their control grip, I'd but that as well (or maybe let you program the camera button to do it. Its not a perfect camera, but then none are... Love mine. If you have one, give PF focus mode a try...
I discovered this afterwards but still too many things wrong with it. I’m actually returning mine tomorrow. The crop with imaging edge stabilization makes the frame too tight. For me it’s almost there. It should be priced at $500 or less.
@@TheEverythingMan I'm really hoping that they add the ability to apply stabilization in the desktop software. Putting the phone in the workflow and only having the ability to export from there in 1080p means I'll never use their stabilization. Pro's still outweigh the cons for me however and I'll be working around them with it..
@@jasonschroniclesit is 5years later, but they essentially did everything you are saying in making the camera compatible with catalyst browse. One can add stabilization in post while choosing the level of crop in. The footage can be outputted to 4K.
Exceedingly cool, dude ! Very watchable and informative review. Sitting on the fence at the moment as i'm not a vlogger but the image quality from this thing is pretty damn good sir. As Shakespeare said "though she be but little she be fierce" . Just thought i'd mix that into the cake ! Perhaps the procreational interchange between the RXO ii and GoPro could be consensual - they could just fall in love with each other maybe ? Anyways as a friend once said "listen,or your tongue will make you deaf" so i'll disolve back into the void now. Keep an ear out for you. Luvvly Jubbly.
If they put the continuous auto focus with maybe the latest color science from their latest FF mirrorless cameras, I will buy one. Then it will be a perfect everyday carry camera. There is a rumor that they will launch the 3rd gen this year but idk maybe they are delayed.
For creators rx0ii is superior to the hero 7. For everyday folks I think the hero 7 is good enough. Rx0ii also has eye focus.(not continuous) And infinity focusing(but it has to set to either everything close or everything far)
Good review. It's amazing to think that very few manufacturers have designed a camera system specifically geared for vloggers. Some have tried (DJI Osmo Pocket and Action and Removu K1), but have missed the mark because of missing features, bad ergonomics, and/or just bad overall quality. I just hope that someone out there will step forward and design a system that would finally eliminate all the DIY workarounds that we all currently attempt to use in order to make the "perfect" system.
Awesome video bro. Something went wrong with my Hero 6 and thinking of buying RX0 11 or Hero 7. Your vlog is informative and freaking entertaining to watch. you took it to another level. Keep it up.
Thanks Raki! Being that we’re almost in the next quarter of this year already I would hold off on both of you don’t need something immediately. We shouldn’t be far from a GOPRO 8 if they plan on releasing it this year.
One of the things I've noticed time and again with both the Sony DSC RX 100 and the RX 0 MK II is how *Anemic the colours look !* That *8 Bit 4:2:0 X-AVCS Codec isn't cutting it for colour saturation levels.* Some folks like the de-saturated colour look, but I find it looks a little *Cold and Industrial.* Better to use one of the internal presets and turn up the colour saturations levels. You loose soooo much by the time you get to TH-cam.
@@TheEverythingMan This is where you need to spend an entire Afternoon and sit down and go through the preset menu choices and shoot some colour and black level tests and custom tune in something to compensate for the loss going to TH-cam. Your blacks get crushed, and your highlights get crushed and your colour saturations get drained by these two Sony's to start with ;) The TH-cam 4K MP4 codec is much better than the older 1080p Mp4 Codec. I understand the Tube will be implimenting more of the HEVC 265 Mp4 Codec to fix the colour drain nad file sizes.
Wow !!! Dude you da man with de Sony camera 1" inch sensor -+ flippy screen ! Price drop to $500 and you got us hook , line & sinker ! Breaking news >>> New Subscriber !
Love your delivery and ya no dice 🎲 on this camera! Bringin’ back tha 85’ fanny pack holla @ ya boi! Your better of with the 6400, glad I found you on YT. Nervous asf to do video right now, got the🦶in the water with the 🥜 in sand. You’re vidz are definitely inspiration for me bro! Have a great week my ninja!
Thanks bro! Don’t be nervous, your early videos might not wind up being the greatest but that’s how you learn and get better along the way. Gotta keep at it
There’s a gyroscope in the camera. So instead of only cropping , the software takes a gyroscope read of the clip and tries to adjust accordingly. GoPro does the same
some say it has a narrow view but so do many cameras, but what’s cool is how high quality image this camera have... while praised x3000 allrounder sucks while many ppl like it, but it looks like mobile footage at best and is not compatible with youtube algorithm too making it even worse, so if I have an option between this and x3000 i bought, for sure I would take this no doubt
The Everything Man All good. If you’re ever in the Bay Area, you can take mine lol! Better yet, collab on somethingg creative. Kept my H7 for the stabilization. But always on the hunt for the next best piece of gear for sure 🙌🏽🎥📷😅
Yo man where do you get all the money to spend on all these cameras every time they release?? What's your secret?? 🤷🏾♂️😩. Love this channel man keep it up.
I don't vlog. I find this camera very appealing. I shoot a lot of muticam concerts. I can imagine placing this camera in all kinds of great spots without being obtrusive. I am also a motorcyclist. This would be a practcal alternatve to bringing a GH5.
Like I told Camera Conspiracies, although the RX0II is advertised as a vlogging camera, it wasn't designed as a vlogging camera, it was originally designed (the RX0) as a Hollywood production camera that directors can stick in small spaces. But since that market is so small, they decided to turn it into a vlogging camera by putting a flip up screen on it. The only difference between the RX0II and my original RX0, is that it has the flip up screen, and it records internally in 4K. My RX0 only records 4K with an external recorder like my Ninja V, everything else is pretty much the same. They can probably release a firmware update to let my RX0 record internally in 4K, but they probably won't. The image stabilization is a joke by using software to do it, then you get a huge crop. You are better off sending that $100 grip back, and buying a G6 gimbal for $179. It's only a couple of inches longer, but you get better IS, and no crop. As far as the focus, my RX0 works just fine. For vlogging, you press the enter button to put it on near focus, and when you point it away from you, you hit the enter button to put it in far focus, and everything away from you is in focus. It's only a problem if you are trying to focus on something near, then something far, but I normally don't shoot that way, so it's not a problem for me. I don't plan on upgrading to the RX0II, mainly because I use my RX0 as a stills camera. When I want to travel light, I carry the RX0 for photos, and the Osmo Pocket for video. The RX0II is an excellent camera for taking photos because of the huge sensor. It's an okay video camera if you put it on a gimbal. Personally, I don't think it is a vlogging camera, although it does take excellent videos. I have the small rig cage for mine, and it does work really well with an add-on wide-angle lens. If you are going to keep it, send that grip back and get a G6 gimbal.
Another rx0 user here, what wide angle lens are you using? I've tried a couple without good results. I've seen some good result with the GW-3 but the size, cost, and the fact it wont work with my fuji make it not worth it. That preset focus really does work well for this camera, I'm really bummed they removed it from the rx0 ii. I do still think I'll be upgrading, albeit not at full price. The image stabilization in body, although not perfect, will be a great improvement for my cinematic/action footage, and the 4k and timelapse features open up alot more creative possibilities as well. I dream of the GoPro stabilization, but their are too many compromises with that camera for my uses......
@@Allanrpsx The wide angle lens I use is the Nikon WC-E68. It was designed for the old Coolpix 5000 digital camera. I had the lens already, so I mounted it on the Smallrig cage and it worked. You need a 49mm to 37mm reducer. I don't think they make it any more, so you probably have to find one on Ebay.
@@Panotaker Thats exactly what I have! It works great om my Fuji x100f but on the rx0 I find the field distortion is unbearable on the outer corner ofnthe frame. Are you doing anything to combat this? I might play around changing the distance from sensor. (ps Im sure you know its actually 46mm thread size, I had to modify mine to 49mm)
@@Allanrpsx It's probably a spaceing thing. I use mine with two step down rings. One is 46 to 49, or vice versa, and the other goes from that to 37mm. I put up some sample pictures on the RX0 facebook group back on February 4th. There is another guy on that group that mounts his RX0 on a quadcopter, and he has tried some wide angle lenses too. I'll probably pick up a used RX0II in a couple of months. I got a feeling most people won't like it, because they can't figure out the focus, and they will start to sell them. That is the same reason they didn't like the original. I don't know if they screwed up the focus in the RX0II, but on mine, you put it on near focus, and your face is in focus, then you put it on far focus, and everything else is in focus. That is why I say it is not a vlogging camera, people forget to switch the near/far focus, and their video is out of focus. It was design as a cinematic camera, you mount it on a tripod, set the focus on what you are going to shoot, and don't move the camera. I love mine, but it's not idiot proof.
@@Panotaker Great, thanks for the info, I'll definitely take a look and see if I can get better results. Totally agree about the focus. I did find some videos with the rx0 ii where the focus is consistently sharp so it probably is user error. Also, the stabilization looks actually quite good in some other videos and is definitely a big step up from post processing alone. Does seem like Sony missed the mark again with branding the camera, but I bet it's a great tool for those that know how to use it....
Great review man. I was considering buying one but I’ll think I’ll wait to see what Sony do with updates if any, till then I’ll stick with my GoPro 7 which in opinion is a better camera at the moment.
I was ready to buy this until I found out it didn't have auto focus. Instant deal breaker for a vlog camera. It's like trying to play basketball on a hoop with no backboard.
that is some serious crop with the app stablization, worse is it looks weird, like you were running infront of a green screen in a 80s movie. Think the X3000 does a better job.
The price wow what does the film come in gold leaf wrapper ha h a thought the Pocket was expensive but this I think my wife and bank manager do not have to woory thanks for the report stay safe

Love your delivery and ya no dice 🎲 on this camera! Bringin’ back tha 85’ fanny pack holla @ ya boi! Your better of with the 6400, glad I found you on YT. Nervous asf to do video right now, got the🦶in the water with the 🥜 in sand. You’re vidz are definitely inspiration for me bro! Have a great week my ninja!
Thanks bro! Don’t be nervous, your early videos might not wind up being the greatest but that’s how you learn and get better along the way. Gotta keep at it
Hey mate, have you still got this camera lying around? I am not begging, I want to buy it if you want to sell. Need it for a project :-)
Watched your rode go wireless video then came here again by chance :) great content
Appreciate it Karim!
Maybe I'm confused about how 4k stabilization works in software...
There’s a gyroscope in the camera. So instead of only cropping , the software takes a gyroscope read of the clip and tries to adjust accordingly. GoPro does the same
On man I was waiting for this one. 🙏
Mine arrived tomorrow 😬
Nice! Enjoy it man!
^^^ this guy is living in the future!!!
Wow it arrived but will also arrive tomorrow. That’s amazing
Hey man. Like for saying the true about this camera.
And I think it does not have zoom either!!
Bro you gonna drop that fire song and not drop the name???
Great review and I agree with CC and you on the autofocus...do you think they could address this with a firmware upgrade??
I don’t, I think the only way around it is an extension grip with the controls on the handle so you can stretch it out
nice. I love an honest review. Thanks for this!!
Thanks Matt!
some say it has a narrow view but so do many cameras, but what’s cool is how high quality image this camera have... while praised x3000 allrounder sucks while many ppl like it, but it looks like mobile footage at best and is not compatible with youtube algorithm too making it even worse, so if I have an option between this and x3000 i bought, for sure I would take this no doubt
🔥🔥🔥 Digging the content and personality. You’ve got a new sub! Would love to see a comparison with the GoPro H7 🤔 Cheers!
Thanks bro! I got rid of my Hero 7 black I didn’t like the image quality. But if I get my hands on another one I’ll be sure to get that going
The Everything Man All good. If you’re ever in the Bay Area, you can take mine lol! Better yet, collab on somethingg creative. Kept my H7 for the stabilization. But always on the hunt for the next best piece of gear for sure 🙌🏽🎥📷😅
Yo man where do you get all the money to spend on all these cameras every time they release?? What's your secret?? 🤷🏾♂️😩. Love this channel man keep it up.
Also how is the workflow when importing Sony files into iOS for video editing?
I don't vlog. I find this camera very appealing. I shoot a lot of muticam concerts. I can imagine placing this camera in all kinds of great spots without being obtrusive. I am also a motorcyclist. This would be a practcal alternatve to bringing a GH5.
Thanks bro!
Thank you
good review!! thanks
Thank you!
Like I told Camera Conspiracies, although the RX0II is advertised as a vlogging camera, it wasn't designed as a vlogging camera, it was originally designed (the RX0) as a Hollywood production camera that directors can stick in small spaces. But since that market is so small, they decided to turn it into a vlogging camera by putting a flip up screen on it. The only difference between the RX0II and my original RX0, is that it has the flip up screen, and it records internally in 4K. My RX0 only records 4K with an external recorder like my Ninja V, everything else is pretty much the same. They can probably release a firmware update to let my RX0 record internally in 4K, but they probably won't. The image stabilization is a joke by using software to do it, then you get a huge crop. You are better off sending that $100 grip back, and buying a G6 gimbal for $179. It's only a couple of inches longer, but you get better IS, and no crop. As far as the focus, my RX0 works just fine. For vlogging, you press the enter button to put it on near focus, and when you point it away from you, you hit the enter button to put it in far focus, and everything away from you is in focus. It's only a problem if you are trying to focus on something near, then something far, but I normally don't shoot that way, so it's not a problem for me. I don't plan on upgrading to the RX0II, mainly because I use my RX0 as a stills camera. When I want to travel light, I carry the RX0 for photos, and the Osmo Pocket for video. The RX0II is an excellent camera for taking photos because of the huge sensor. It's an okay video camera if you put it on a gimbal. Personally, I don't think it is a vlogging camera, although it does take excellent videos. I have the small rig cage for mine, and it does work really well with an add-on wide-angle lens. If you are going to keep it, send that grip back and get a G6 gimbal.
Another rx0 user here, what wide angle lens are you using? I've tried a couple without good results. I've seen some good result with the GW-3 but the size, cost, and the fact it wont work with my fuji make it not worth it.
That preset focus really does work well for this camera, I'm really bummed they removed it from the rx0 ii. I do still think I'll be upgrading, albeit not at full price. The image stabilization in body, although not perfect, will be a great improvement for my cinematic/action footage, and the 4k and timelapse features open up alot more creative possibilities as well. I dream of the GoPro stabilization, but their are too many compromises with that camera for my uses......
@@Allanrpsx The wide angle lens I use is the Nikon WC-E68. It was designed for the old Coolpix 5000 digital camera. I had the lens already, so I mounted it on the Smallrig cage and it worked. You need a 49mm to 37mm reducer. I don't think they make it any more, so you probably have to find one on Ebay.
@@Panotaker Thats exactly what I have! It works great om my Fuji x100f but on the rx0 I find the field distortion is unbearable on the outer corner ofnthe frame. Are you doing anything to combat this? I might play around changing the distance from sensor. (ps Im sure you know its actually 46mm thread size, I had to modify mine to 49mm)
@@Allanrpsx It's probably a spaceing thing. I use mine with two step down rings. One is 46 to 49, or vice versa, and the other goes from that to 37mm. I put up some sample pictures on the RX0 facebook group back on February 4th. There is another guy on that group that mounts his RX0 on a quadcopter, and he has tried some wide angle lenses too. I'll probably pick up a used RX0II in a couple of months. I got a feeling most people won't like it, because they can't figure out the focus, and they will start to sell them. That is the same reason they didn't like the original. I don't know if they screwed up the focus in the RX0II, but on mine, you put it on near focus, and your face is in focus, then you put it on far focus, and everything else is in focus. That is why I say it is not a vlogging camera, people forget to switch the near/far focus, and their video is out of focus. It was design as a cinematic camera, you mount it on a tripod, set the focus on what you are going to shoot, and don't move the camera. I love mine, but it's not idiot proof.
@@Panotaker Great, thanks for the info, I'll definitely take a look and see if I can get better results. Totally agree about the focus. I did find some videos with the rx0 ii where the focus is consistently sharp so it probably is user error. Also, the stabilization looks actually quite good in some other videos and is definitely a big step up from post processing alone. Does seem like Sony missed the mark again with branding the camera, but I bet it's a great tool for those that know how to use it....
Great review man. I was considering buying one but I’ll think I’ll wait to see what Sony do with updates if any, till then I’ll stick with my GoPro 7 which in opinion is a better camera at the moment.
Thanks man .. I agree . Besides image quality, build quality and the screen the GoPro is a better value
Canon RX0 II: The crippler's revenge.
Haha
Ahahaahha there he is watching videos...
How cum no one saw these...to have all u camera guys comment is legendary...all my favourite camera reviewers...nice
Thank you for sharing this
a great straight down the line review thanks
Thank you! Appreciate it
I was ready to buy this until I found out it didn't have auto focus. Instant deal breaker for a vlog camera. It's like trying to play basketball on a hoop with no backboard.
You explained very precisely, subbed.
Thank you!
Alright dude -- thanks for the video. Following you.
I love it but hate hate hate the price point! Sony always miss the sweet spot
Yeah.. way too much
that is some serious crop with the app stablization, worse is it looks weird, like you were running infront of a green screen in a 80s movie. Think the X3000 does a better job.
Yeah I’m not impressed
Things seem to take one step forward but two steps back
Pretty much
Stabilization cross it down to nothin. This camera is a fail for Sony. Shame because it's got so much potential.
I know. I’m disappointed
The price wow what does the film come in gold leaf wrapper ha h a thought the Pocket was expensive but this I think my wife and bank manager do not have to woory thanks for the report stay safe

Thank you bro!
I'll stick with the Osmo Action!
compare with gopro7
Will do
Take your leg lol you crack me
lol thanks
Lol whatt?? Canon is better than that ofcourse.... get the M50 canon thats it! More cheaper, best autofocus, best photo & video, flip screen, best color science & u can change out ur lens...
Who cares about 4k? I watched ur video in 720p😅
French Montana doing tech reviews?
It’s an artist’s camera, you’re not the target.
nar bro i'll pass, too much f**king around. Great vid tho :)
Don't buy. Just wait for Hero 8 or DJI Action 2....unless Sony comes out w/ an updated FDR-X3000 (X4000 coming?). So yeah, just wait....
Vlojoggin lmao
this camera is a pain to work with . total disappointment and very expensive.
Talks like David Blaine

Always it's F4 no matter what.
