- 1" sensor cameras are the first real level of cinematic video and photography with high bokeh blurry backgrounds, great color 4K resolution but still compact pocket sized cameras that can literally fit in your pocket. Today we compare all kinds of cameras with 1" sensors from camcorders to bridge cameras and compact pocket cameras and superzoom cameras for a cinematic look. These are all great vlogging cameras too and of course good for bird photography and wildlife videos.

This entire video was filmed with 1" sensor cameras. The main shot of me at the table is with a Sony RX100vii pocket camera (and its only in 1080!) and the close ups are with a Sony AX700 camcorder from 12 feet away. Even though the RX100 can shoot 4K, I don't need to, the quality is good enough in 1080 for TH-cam and the file sizes are smaller.
Keep playing with the Sony RX10 M4. You will be amazed at what it can do !
looking for your insights on the new Blackmagic 3/4" Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 for bloggers, youtubers & the willvontagen mounting Cage and Accessories for the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera for a budget but serious place now to into into 2024/25 videotography
Gotta have 4K with 30X optical zoom or more.
RX100 is a power house camera; even MK 1 and can produce very good Stills / HD Content ( 4K cam in MK 4), need to get one in future ( Possible Bridge Cam as well ); Pany's equiv look good also - my current one not in good state. Must Say for occasionally Hybrid shooters ( with aim to use / do more Hybrid going forward- The Pany FZ1000 - FZ2000 - Bridge Range, etc is a good platform to start from.
@@mezzb Render your 1080 file to 4K and then upload it to TH-cam and you're good to go.
It's refreshing to see someone advocate all types of cameras, for all types of budgets, in a genuinely enthusiastic way, instead of being a gear or tech snob. Even Markus' criticisms aren't disparaging and he backs that up with great images and video. Always a pleasure to watch.
Agreed!
We must admit Markus does his best to simplify a complicated topic. And he's generous. Thanks.
So complicated
How is he generous? Never gave me a thing
@@unbroken1010he regularly gives away gear
@@unbroken1010this advice is worth a lot of money, to those who are:
moving and shaking
have good sense
are open to being positive.
Other than that, you are correct. He gives zilch.
I love that MarkusPix preaches that you can have high quality with lower priced cameras while others make you feel like you are incompetent without a RED or Sonys newest expensive model. This man is genius! Thank you Brother for being honest and helping us small creators!
one of the best comparison review in youtube. In just one video, you went through from the pro level to beginner while focusing on the objective of its use. a fan. well done
Glad you liked it
I just bought LX10 after returning ZS100. I'm very pleased with my decision.
Flip out screen, f/1.4 and full of not gimmicky features.
I just got rid of mine too, I'd bought as a daily throw in the bag instead of lugging a DSLR around but I hated it, I gave it so many chances but in the end I boxed it up and sold it, far to fiddly/gimmicky and a right faff in manual mode constantly missing the shot I wanted.. I got myself an used Sony a6000 as a daily and it's awesome in comparison.
@@ianhallett6174 I played around with different modes and settled on one that works best. It's aperture priority, I set it to 1.4, auto intelligent iso, max set to 1600,
metering set to center small spot, this one is lot of fun, you learn how cameras reads light. Focus mode is set to fixed or face tracking. I got sick of Sony, this camera inspires me more, given how small it is. After years of shooting pictures I realized it's all about how you edit. Raw files out of this camera are huge, which tells me that it saves a lot of info, hence very flexible in post. Quality wise this camera compares to my 5d mk4
if only the LX10 had an EVF 🥲
@@ianhallett6174 Update: sold the LX10. Bought Canon R50 plus EF-RF adapter. Couldn't be happier. Agreed with your points on LX10
Thanks, Markus, for your honest appraisal of these "1" sensor cameras.
Thanks, Cara, for adding your beautiful presence to this program.
My pleasure!
Love your channel Markus! You are a private camera technology museum and you've given away more cameras than i even knew existed! i'm just a little jealous. Thank you for constantly giving us camera folks a reality check. cheers!
The vibe of this video just makes me smile from the inside.
LMAO. Closing shot of the Osmo bird zoom was hilarious.
I think he worship molooch. 🤣
Markus 15:20 YES your audio is always top-notch!
Funny how keeping audio clean makes the video look more clear! I still shoot A-roll interviews with a 12-year-old PAN AG130. Everybody assumes we’re 4k since we manage audio separately and carefully.
It took a while to find this channel and oh me oh my, your material, knowledge and quality is out of this world! So nice to see someone who actually knows what they are doing and not just an influencer channel.
thank you
I love my NX-Mini. I got it with the NX-M adapter and the 17mm lens
@pspslimicesilver I just bought a 10 years old NX2000 and I love much more then my previous lumix TZ cameras. I had 3 pieces of the lumix, one of them always was broken. Ill never buy lumix anymore, not even a cheap one.
6:45 is so positivly desillusional for young filmmakers. as the whole video.
your relationship to the arts and equipment is refreshing and healthy. and your review style is absolutely great, with good comparison videos and such a charming and chill moderation. i am so glad i found your channel. helps me with my burnout and all the schmucks from the media industry.... i guess it is your background, you now what a budget means, that you can advertise pocket cameras as the tools they are.
you show the pictures and how they prove themself. this is so valuable. and you know what insane steps image procession made the last 30 years. such a great channel.
RX10 Mark 4 was my first camera purchase, and I still believe it made my video and photo portfolio look much better than my capabilities alone at the time. There's just so much you can do with that zoom, form factor, and slog2 recording. The autofocus was also incredible! Will be buying the mark 5 when it comes out if they include 10 bit recording 😋
Unfortunately mark 5 will never come...
I have the rx10 Mark 3 and used it on my Japan trip and I used an external XY stereo microphone. That rig did a fantastic job of capturing both video and audio and looks great blown up on a large projection screen in a home theater.
Always enjoy starting my Sunday with Markus and Cara…pulls to my photographers soul…though it frequently tempts me to buy a second Rx1007, but perhaps more importantly, inspires me to get out more with my cameras!
When I had a chance to play around with my son's Nikon J3, I was impressed with the image quality of the pictures. The 1" sensor can do a really god job.
I had a J5. IQ is really good, but 4K is limited ti 15FPS, which is basically useless.
I’m glad we got the Pocket 3 bird shot. Thanks for a fun video.
😄
Yea pocket 3 zoom like hell , need to look for a bird with microscope 🔬
We LOVE Markus and Cara!
How do you get this amazing sound ? A boom mic? It sound crazy good.
I agree that the RX100M7 is best overall. However, what makes the DJI Pocket (and Action 4) nice is how they can connect wirelessly to a mic without adding a transmitter. It’s always mentioned that audio is just as important as video, and DJI is ahead of the other manufacturers for building the transmitter into their devices to make them more portable. Just my opinion.
If you value audio, you get an external recorder and stop messing about with the camera audio, record audio in cameras to sync up with your main audio, use lav mic as much as possible if you talk with a big dead cat on it.
If you use shotgun mics, get those that can record internally, God will thank you, but nothing beats a lav mic with a dead cat on it. Every big mic will capture a lot of background noise.
Pro tip I have for you, if you do a lot of run and gun, get a stereo mic instead, screw the shotgun mic, but if you do a lot of talking heads, use a combo, shotgun/stereo mic + lav mic, then you mix the audio appropriately, you always want SOME background noise, but you want it controlled, if you are in rooms and such, record the room sound separately so you can use that audio to either mix as background noise, or use it as sample for noise reduction in your favourite editing tool!
Audio is more important than getting good image!
Thanks for the great comparison video! I've shot on a Panasonic FZ-2500 for years and I love it! I have the AC battery adapter for it and I can shoot pretty much all day on AC power. On battery power I can usually get through an hour long shoot on one battery as long as I'm not constantly zooming in and out since this is a "fly-by-wire" zoom and runs the battery power down a little bit each time you move the lens. Love the colors and the focus is very sharp. IBIS is pretty decent but Panasonic auto focus is and has always been a little slow. Audio using an external mic is quite good. And Panasonic cameras aren't hobbled with the 30 minute shooting limit. They get around it by constantly running but breaking up the files into 29:59 minute segments that match up frame for frame on a timeline. Never had an issue with it for as long as I've owned the camera. Highly recommend it.
Panasonic cameras are great I have the ZS100 and I love it.
all the birds and lady birds in this video are gorgeous.
Another great video! I bought a Sony Rx10 MK4 for a trip to Galapagos a couple of years ago and was blown away by the quality. I ended up taking more video than stills but both were amazing quality. I also have to say that I didn't have any problems with the batteries not lasting very long. I took three batteries with me but normally only used about one and a half in a full day.
His comment at 4:40 about Sony RX10iv 10 mins battery life is not fair and 'suspicious'. All of my last 2 years railways videos are shot with one battery (although I have 2 spares) lasting more than an hour. You can check this with my cab rides (train driver's view) vids where changing baterries while driving is unthikable. He has an excellent channel helping us taking the right decision when buing (expensive) stuff but this time he disapointed me.
Love the model! Such a beautiful lady very photogenic ❤. Thanks for your content!
You dont't need big sensors for blurry backround. That's absolutely correct! I was shooting some footage on a MiniDV Camcorder from Sony, the PC-100E to be more precise. It's got a 1/4" sensor and a f/1.8 lens. I was amazed what this little thing recorded onto my tapes!
You're more than just a content creator, you're one of a kind!!
I used my zs200d in my last trip to Japan and oh boy, even in pitch dark scenes with the built in flash, i could get great sharp shots and footage, imagine what a sharper lx10 would have given (probably wouldn't have needed the flash) though i would have been limited by reach.
Really love your channel Markus, with everyone on TH-cam spouting all the latest and greatest cameras, you keep it real. I learned very quickly by using a webcam to shoot some of my early videos how important lighting is to get great shots, and it's like talking to a brick wall when people think they need the best cameras. While I do enjoy my Sony camera that has a 6k sensor downscaling to a final 4k image is super crispy, I find my friends get caught up in the hype and I always send them to your channel. I think the stand out reason is throughout my career, i've not had the experience you have in Hollywood. With your background as what I would consider a "real" pro in the movie industry rather than myself in the commercial space, you have worked in the Gold standard of filmmaking and have been through the transition of film to digital and you talk about older cameras and show us that you can get great images. I have to remind myself every camera release that i'm happy with my cameras, yes I would love each body to have all the features, but you know what I have a range of cameras and each has their own speciality. But I find the work arounds really hone your skills as camra operators, and when I show people videos shot with my iphone 6, they think i'm using my expensive cameras not an old phone that Apple probably no longer supports.
A nerd looks for specs and an artist looks for potential 😊
It was so disappointing when Samsung threw in the towel with digital cameras. They had some really good kit.
I bought my NX500 on eBay a year ago and I’m still amazed every time I use it.
they use their expertise on their phones
I bought the NX 1 with both Prime Zooms, even knowing that Samsung will stop producing it. It was too good, the Imaga, the handling, and a fantastic menu, but it was h.265 at the time a codes hardly any nle could crack. If they would had offered the NX1 with an h.264 container it would have been the winner. I talked to acSony guy who told me, we didn‘t fear any competition other than Samsung. Tooo bad.
Thanks Markus for your great comprehensive review. I own the RX 10 first generation. Its a goody, but to the day the colors of the NX1 are in my opinion unmatched to the day.
Shot two festivals winners feature films with the Samsung NX1. Beyond incredible image.
I feel if Samsung did not pull out they would be doing very well. The Samsung NX 1 was starting to get trackion and people started to notice.
Also I heard they used a different architecture maybe ARM like cellphones and Apple. All the other cameras are on a old architecture like Intel x86.
You packed so much info into one video! The model helps see how the cameras pick up on the individual hairs, the skin tones, and the tweed blazer with the built in test patterns on it! (kidding). I want to get a new camera, but am all over the place on it. Thank you so much for the info packed video you made.
Glad it was helpful!
I always enjoy your videos. You have a great sense of humor and give wonderful advice. Give Cara lots of love, she’s more precious than all of your cameras. See you again at your next video.
I agree
Hang on to your Osmo 3. It makes a good humorous break in your videos. I loved the shot of the bird.
the Panasonic FZ2500 (FZ2000 in europe) has a 4K output via HDMI, in 17/9 format (cinema), which can be connected, for example, to a Blackmagic recorder-monitor and obtain recording in Prores, also with the possibility of ND filters.
Two words. Great job. And another but should be first two words, Great Model.
The bird shot with the Pocket 3 at the end 😂
What a great video Markus! thank you for sharing and bringing love to the one inch format
thank you Marcs and Cara - - - i just got my first camera and i went for the Sony ZV E10, the lens is ok but it is interchangeable so i can upgrade later on - i just loved the image out of your Samsung it is my favourite - much love to you both, you are greatly appreciated - Shaw
Such a beautiful model. Your video wouldn't be the same without her.
I love the final shot, I nearly spray my breakfast out from laughing. Thanks Markus
Markus, you make camera content fun. Most camera people are so drab… so monotone… 😂 You are fun, dude.
Your video gives the vibes of those game shows from the 90s but has all the latest technology information needed.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching and learnt a lot!
You're brilliant. So many people get obsessed with stats. Most of these cameras are very affordable now and are amazing value for money. The first Canon Eos m is still one of my favourite cameras, only 1080 but the f2 lens gives outstanding results. The Lumix GX80 is amazing value also, 5 axis stabilisation and great image quality. I still use this as B cam to my S5. Rely on content not stats! Thanks for video.
I got thru film school with the Lumix 2500 and it served me well
I love my Lumix FZ 2500. It has great features for video and for photography.
Thanks, Markus, for pointing out the joy of using a pocket camera with a smaller sensor, "Rise of 1 Inch Sensor!" Beautiful overview and amazing shots of beautiful model Kara. Many thanks 🙏
The Pocket 3 "bird shot" at the end... 😂
WOW Samsung NX mini! I look forward to it. The design is pretty too.
I learn so much from your videos, thanks Markus and Cara!
Markus, while there are many popular camera channels out there that have far more subscribers, there are none that are as honest (99% of them are shills) as yours. In the world of camera reviewers, yours is the cream of the crop.
I enjoy using my Sony DSC -HX 50 with the 30 zoom . Great all around inexpensive camera and good build quality.
i realize what they say when they 'dont like the canon' look.
this cold sony-ish feel from the camcorder is for me always what tv looks like. if you want to make a reporter vibe, having like a broadcast look, then this gives out of the box this look and feel for me.
OMG! NX-Mini blows my mind!
Sony AX100 and CX900 are my most favorite video cameras I have ever owned!!!!
Although this video was made in 2024, it gives me the 2000s vibes, like the Supernatural series! Love it
Your videos are excellent thank you!
I like the 90's-2000s look of this video.
I was IN LOVE with the Samsung N X cameras!
Amazing as always
I love the lumix fz2500 my favourite camera i wish they would update it.
hehehehe, incredible review of this Marcus and his genius, so many cameras and so many options on the market and how difficult it is to decide when there is no Marcus out there to guide us XD
oh and Cara as always, beautiful, spontaneous and tender, what a great duo you guys are!!
A separate point was the cute owl you used for the tests, Marcus, my sister loved that owl XD
OK, the Pocket 3 "bird shot" at the end was funny.
Over the years of wanting to become content creator and and watched a lot of TH-cam videos ( cameras) I end up owning multiple cameras including the beautiful of Samsung Nxmini. Until, I have not yet really start good videos. But, I really appreciate your amazing videos and hard work on every videos, they are amazing.
Thank you
Nicely presented. Loved your enthusiasm and energy
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG, the depth of field (just taking some steps back and zooming in) is CRAZY, you can blow everything out of the background with 1inch! Yes it wont work on extremely tight spaces, but if you can manage 2m distance, any 1 inch can make extremely shallow DOF and its LIGHT and has HIGH zoom range with those high mm lenses!
I LOVE your passion for the craft and the tools!
Very nice comparison review Mr. Markus. And a hearty thanks to Ms. Cara for her visual participation (of course).
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much, you make the best videos on the subject of filming and show the differences practically and without unnecessary information. Thank you very much for that and all the best 😉
Thank you for this amazing video. Learned so much.
I’d love to play around with one of those big cameras. Probably too many settings but I’d learn a lot.
You'll need a Doctorate to operate the "Cadillac" Sony RX10 M4 but its worth it when you do.
Markus you love your toys don't you? Even looking at cameras, they look beautiful. It's great when we don't have to grow up.
I bought my wife the Sony RX10 IV in 2019. We took it the the Firefight concert in Sydney. I could zoom all the way in to the make of the keyboard on stage from all the way at the other end of the stadium. No digital zoom. While everyone else was pointing their phones at the big screens.
Love this channel! Every video is filled to the brim with genuine enthusiasm for cameras, (new and old), accompanied by stunning footage. Keep it up! 🎉 😊
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow, you did a great job 👌👌👌
Thank you
Thank you, Cara! Thanks, Markus! I still prefer a camcorder for video, but I'm old school.
Video cameras for video...
I have a Sony 405 which Markus recommended..
More than happy with it for 1080 YT videos (also does stills and blurry background etc.. and a crazy zoom) and... seems realistically there's nothing to really improve on it.. except maybe the Panasonic 981 which seems (like many other camera's) unavailable.
Bravo Markus
Happy to see you didn't forget about the lovely NX Mini, I´m designing and selling 3D printed adapters, to use vintage lenses with it, they are on Cults 3D.
That title is so specific I fridgin love it
Samsung what in the world!! Super impressive. Great video. Thanks to you two for shiningg through every time.
I think you are the best reviewer, just goes to the most important parts no spec sheets bulls. 😂 thank you
LX10 is my favorite, wow that look :O
I love that you do these videos. Recently bought the sonys, will take me awhile to get them dialed in.
Great vid. Been thinking of getting the rx100vii. Thanks . The bird shot from the osmo was the best 😂
I watched your videos for the last 5 hours! You have reinvigorated my passion for photography. Impossible to find the RX100M7 !! Some for sale, but they are all scammers!
I like watching these because I think some time, some day, I may quite possibly, shoot some video for something or other. But I never do anything. Either there's a time element or there's something else stopping me. So I just basically watch these and fantasize about becoming a filmmaker (Well videographer at any rate).
Its just a fun hobby for me. Some people like to go fishing or read books, I like playing with cameras
Pocket 3 footage looks amazing. This looks like a new next gen device, like a new category. For active vloging you can't really compare this to the other traditional cameras shown in this video.
Thanks for the great video. I'm priced out of new cameras so don't keep up with them too much so this was a nice round up of these inch sensors.
My 2nd last camera was the Sony RX100iii. Two years ago, needing more zoom, I "upgraded" to the Sony RX10iv which is my workhorse today. Excellent for videos as well as for stills. I am not at all surprised that Markus liked it so much. Apart from flash stuff for flashing soft from the side and an interval timer, the only extra stuff you ever need is a circular polarization filter, an ND filter and maybe a tripod now and again.
Oh yes, plus a few spare batteries. 😁
His comment at 4:40 about Sony RX10iv 10 mins battery life is not fair and 'suspicious'.

@@sidirodromeas That was "felt" 10 mins. Photographing and doing videos it depends whether you use the EVF or not and in the case of video on the quality chosen. I usually manage to drain my battery investigating the menu system. Doing normal work is not much of an issue.
Funny...I was just searching Craig's for the Sony 405 Camcorder......when I realized " I need to go back to the MarkusPix videos and get the correct model" Nothing was popping in the searches.
So I went to TH-cam...and here you are....Just posted....Just for me! Wow... Cool. Have a great day everyone even this video was for me.
Thank you for this great 1" sensor camera review.
I've got a ZS200 I'm about to sell so thank you for this video to increase the prices!
Thanks Markus, great rundown. We really need another one of those samsung type cameras made. Small with lens changes. That one is just ripe for hacks and mods I think.
Man, your pacing is on point and what a truckload of info..5 stars MP!

I have the Canon SX60 and SX70. The SX70 has some issues with finding and staying in focus in some situations. Not 1" but reasonably good for a "super zoom at 21-1365 for those shots way out there here in the PHILIPPINES.
Yay I recently bought the RX10 IV.
👏👏👏
Back in my early video days I shot with Sony Prosumer Handy Cams. The sensor was slightly bigger then the standard lower end consumer models. The sensor was smaller than 1 inch and these cams were still small and fit in your hand like any other mini DV camcorder. I had a HDR HC-90 that was only SD. Then I bought a Siny HDR HC-7 That was HD. My footage looked really great for the time and agree sensor size is not always a factor to consider. My go to camera is my Canon R7. I have an older 5D mark III. But don't use it anymore. My oldest wants to get into ASTRO photography. So I gave it to him. We've just lacked the time for me to teach him all it's functions.
I loved the little owl ❤❤❤❤❤❤
👏🙌so appreciate these videos!!! Thanks Markus!! If your ever in Saint Louis say hey and I’ll spoil you guy’s with food!!! 👨🏼🍳
Wonderful video. We share the same love for the RX100 VII and 1 inch sensors :)
