- Yes it has a smaller aperture, but does it really matters in use? Also it really that good for vlogging?

too bad they didn't made the lens wider + mic jack with hotshoe + better image stabilization + ND filters = ultimate vlogging camera
That camera doesn't exist.
Why don't ask Sony to shoot vlog instead of you? That would much better.
I just hope Sony includes everything I want in a6700. Sad though they purposefully remove mic jack, ibis in cameras like rx100 mark6.
Why is Sony being the new Apple in limiting features? Hot shoe, ND Filters, External Mic Jack... boom... take my money!
Phantom Rides then its not a point and shoot. Might as well get a mirrorless
i don't mind. I ordered a used RX100 III because i want to be able to whip it out and take photos, then shove it back in my pocket. I wouldn't be using a mic or hot shoe. I do agree with you on the ND filters though!
You should do a video with Frank Yang.
Why no mic jack? I don't understand. Adding a mic jack costs them less than $1. Camera for sale at $1200, comon Sony. Having to use an external sound recorder and post produce to match external audio with video means this camera (and any other camera without a mic jack) is mostly useless for TH-cam video-blogging.
That's the point. They're not trying to save money, they're limiting the features to protect their products higher up the line.
Their other products don't really fit the bill though. Sure you can vlog with a micro 4/3s, but it's a big bulky mess.
Day Howarth how can they even remotely consider that someone spending $1200 for a point and shoot needs to be prevented from being able to video-blog with that camera? The thinking is insane. Protecting mic jack input for "higher end larger cameras" is just BS, Sony needs to stop to be like that. There are mic jacks on tiny Mp3 players the size of a nail so size I think is not an issue they could easily have fit a mic jack on this camera. Sony should feel ashamed marketing this camera as suitable for video-blogging.
Mp3 player manufacturers fit a mini jack on tiny mp3 players the size of a fingernail, so really, there is ample space to include the mini jack. They cannot claim this camera is for video-blogging when it can only produce crappy audio.
It does not have a full frame sensor. This is a 1" sensor only. People have audio jacks in tiny super thin smartphones, makes zero sense to release a camera without a mic input.
I was shooting at home with 17C degrees and it started to heat in 20-30 min.. no mic jack too frustrating
Best pocket camera hands down.
Thanks Lok for this great review. Now I know that this camera is not worth the price at all. Overheating is a deal breaker. The lens needs to be wider and no mic jack. The stabilization is shaky same as Mark 5. What the hell Sony is doing? The Action CAM Sony FDR-3000R seems a better deal than this.
Kevin Backalive maybe they have different department who make this camera, and that sucks. I love my FDR X3000, thanks to department who make small great camera
Yes that's probably true
Action cameras doesn't have retractable zoom lens and no focusing at all, thus more space inside to build a better stabilisation
Lok Cheung yeah, that is right Lok, better not buy those camera. 😏
Oh yeah, I want to share whoever read my comment, soon. i will share my video where I can put CPL filter and UV filter in my Sony FDR X-3000, will put the link in here.
At 9:45 i felt i was dancing with Lok to "the reflex". Great video Lok
What about the Depeche Mode just after? Lol
The outdoor/indoor test was brilliant, the camera handled it perfectly! I'm impressed.
Any camera would be good if you good
Aperture always always always matters, especially for tiny sensors. Why shoot on a tiny sensor if you can't even benefit from fast, compact glass? And it looks like Sony colors are still awful, but I really like the image stabilization and video quality. Even the built-in mic sounds pretty good, honestly.
There's always something missing
Love your video!! Missed your digitalrevtv videos with Kai, but your content is great, keep it up!! By the way, Panasonic Zs100 has a 10x zoom,25-250 mm equiv. Still larger than Sony. Also have 1 inch sensor and aperture of f2.8-f5.9
I think the lack of the ND is just so annoying. You can get add-on filter systems for the previous RX100s, although the LensMate one doesn't work with the VI (I assume one that does will be along though):
lensmateonline.com/collections/sony-rx100-iii-rx100-ii-rx100-accessories/products/lensmate-rx100-iii-rx100-ii-rx100-quick-change-adapter-kit-52mm?variant=998641683
But I haven't used them as my RX100V has the ND :-)
I can't see how they could have fitted a microphone jack in, people must understand to add lots more stuff you get a larger camera. I think a companion wireless microphone would have been good. Although you can always record external audio and sync in the video editor.
BTW I'm looking at what video profile to use at the moment on my V (which has the same sensor and stacked buffer chip as the VI and RX10IV). Previously I have shot Cine2 with colour mode ITU709 (not a default) but I wonder if there is a better alternative. Until I review the forest of test clips I've shot I wondered if you just use the standard colour mode?
Oh and finally I assume Sony still don't do an advanced manual, just the basic one and an online HelpGuide where you can search for answers to the 80% of stuff the basic manual doesn't cover?
helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1750/v1/en/index.html
RX100VI book authors should send them a royalty...
P.S. one final tip - people should remember that while most people call it the RX100VI Sony call it the RX100M6 so search for that on the Sony site.
Don't know if this was mentioned before - here is adapter you can add onto the Mvi to hold all types of filters 52mm Magfilter Threaded Adapter Ring. I ordered the Mvi a couple of days ago. Its perceived limitations don't affect me. I look forward to having no excuse for not having a camera with me at all times - a sophisticated camera at that. Thank you for the excellent review!
Thank you for testing and showing us this camera. For personal video and vlogging, it does not tick off enough boxes for the $1200 price tag imo. I'll stick with the version 3. However, It does have some nice dynamic range and good picture quality.
It looks like shoot with an phone.. video lack debt of field. 1inch sensor waste of money take your phone.
There already are magnetic filter holders available ;-)
hi to all, this new mark have the same overheating problem of the mkV?
I just broke mine....very sad :,(
I am applying for a big donation to try to buy this one. No jokes!
Nice that they gave you the chance to speak at the Event! You can get a magnetic filter holder for the RX100 Series, which is not too expensive.
Thanks! I've found the magnetic filter holder
I use the Lensmate one. It's not magnetic, so takes a little longer to put on, but I prefer the sense of security that a threaded filter has.
Cool little device. Might check it out. Looks like a good travel camera with all that zoom and small size. Personally I'm happy with my A7, but you know.
At what point in the zoom range does the aperture get slower than f/2.8?
25mm to 3.2, 30mm to 3.5, 40mm to 4.0 where it stays until 109, then 4.5.
great review! altho quite tempted to get either RX100 m5 or wait for a possible a6700 with flip screen? :)
5k sampling down to 4k producing better video than other cameras in it's class, plus 24 fps stills, plus 200mm zoom, plus it has zeiss optics, plus flip screen for selfie, plus it fits in the pocket, plus one-action pop up high-res EVF, plus it has a 1" sensor, plus slow-motion video at 250 fps, plus excellent low light capabilities? I'm totally sold! I don't need a girlfriend, I need a Sony RX100 VI.
Im really looking for a camera that will capture better photos than my smartphone.
- I travel A LOT and take lots of pictures of landscapes / buildings.
- I would like to take it on a hike and take photos of wildlife / mountain ranges.
- I also want to create stop motion animation.
(I wont be creating too many videos...)
Would this camera be worth my money? Or should i just stick with my Samsung Galaxy S8?
Funny lol, I like your video
I’ll wait for new sensor in RX100 VII or RX200. Also hopefully a Panasonic LX200 coming out this year 😀
Good review Lok, thanks. Personally i'm never going smaller than APS-C for my compact-camera needs. But i can definitely see that this is for the market of people that want a "do-it-all" travel camera with reliable and fast AF and a long zoom-range. My parents are retiring from their respective jobs in a year from now. And they will be travelling for half a year around the world. I'd probably recommend this to them. And not to mention in a year from now it's probably discounted from the current going price.
cool wideo
@ Sony Please upgrade this camera to APSC and make it full touch screen. I will definitely buy it!
Lok thank you for further a step forward review from the Kai's. Besides, I wonder when will you guys put up another footage? Has Boke Bros got broke?
G7 X (Mark II) is still unbeatable with 100mm f2.8 if you are interested in pocket portrait camera.
Thank you Lok I love you
What about A5100 update?! 4 me it's would be best option))
With the smaller max aperture, is the ND filter still important?
Well it’s still depends on what you wanna shoot. Not so much for most street photography, but max shutter speed is just 1/3200s even with electronic shutter. And it’s a must for video if you wanna keep 180 shutter angle.
Thanks Lok, best RX100 VI review I've seen. Quick and to the point and compherhensive as well
Thanks for your great video. I think this camera is amazing especially for shooting landscape while hiking in HK hills due to its lightweight and focal length. However, I am not sure whether 1' CMOS sensor could be competitive in landscape shooting compared with APS-C. Also the price is too high and I am waiting for the big sale in HK at the end of this year.
You are funny. Excellent content. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Lok...I now know what not to buy
I still regularly use my 1st gen RX100 and other than it's not quite wide-angled enough, it's great!! (I don't do video on it)
Funny 🇨🇳 man
Great review as always. I love my mk2 with hot shoe. Lets me add hot shoe accessories
Lok. Would like to see you make some sourt of competition to get ur audience more involved with your youtube channel. Maybe like the b roll challange that another youtuber is doing.
Great vid as usual, Lok! Have been eyeing on a 1" sensor compact, it's either G7X Mk II, the RX100 Mk V or this.
I don't recall a time I did not like Sony's SteadyShot, looks fantastic.
Well, since I'm more into photography than video, I'll stick with the Mark III, despite it's smaller zoom range.
Makes the A7Sii look huge! Good camera - some definite improvements and benefits - but the lack of mic input makes it difficult to use for video. Maybe 7 is the magic number for Sony?
Unless it is a trade secret, how do you access that roof with graffiti on it at 3:49?
Cool
The price is pretty high now.
The much longer zoom seems nice. I often want more on my V. As is the new viewfinder, even if the old one wasn't to much of a hassle with practice.
The smaller aperture isn't really much of a problem. The lack of an ND filter though is annoying. It's nice to not have to attach an external filter, and an internal one can be used with an external one to make a pseudo variable ND filter. UHS really would have been nice, as would USB C with USB 3.1.
What really bugs me though, is that Sony are pushing this to vloggers, but got rid of the ND filter and still haven't added a microphone jack (or bluetooth audio syncing). Yet they've released a vlogging grip...
You still need the Sony Multiconnect port for accessories so they can't fit a USB C on there as well. Having said that the audio out pins on that aren't used on Sony stills cameras so they could always use that as a mic input.
The grip is actually a repackaged Sony GP-VPT1 that came out a few years ago, but I think you are right - it's not really for vloggers. My guess is they went for more zoom as that is something smart phones struggle with.
Along with removing the ND filter they have also reduced the resolution of the rear screen as well.
I would upgrade my Mark 4 to this if Sony still had the Timelapse App. But they don't :(
I just got to the part of the video where you say it is a new choice rather than a replacement. Well said.
Love the background music
No Mic input so ... pass
Agree that the RX100 V is still a good option if the VI focal length and aperture range is not a good fit for your style of shooting. Good job hitting most of the technical features. Price point will likely keep more traditional P&S consumers (any that still exist) looking at cheaper alternatives. Those want the best performance and need that small size, regardless of price might consider the RX100 line. Pretty sure your average viewer, like yourself is prepared to lug more substantial kits. That said, I think the Sony marketeers believe the tiny niche they are carving out at the high end of the P&S segment, in the long run will be less vulnerable than the cheaper alternatives, from the smartphone onslaught.
To be fair, if the market hasn't been taken over by smartphones yet, then it's probably safe for a while. Some new technology might come along and change that, but everything must obey the laws of physics.
With smartphones still striving to be as thin as possible, the threat might even have decreased.
Thanks for the video. Well covered!
Sony image stabilization in 1080 is second to none.
Lok at his best . Thanks for a great review .
I do not seem to find will the apps what I have bought and downloaded to my RX100 IV work in this new version. If not then how is possible to take timelapse videos with it?
I’m afraid you’ll have to get a USB intervalometers
What tripod do I get for this camera thanks
Hi Lok, thanks for a great review.
i want oneeee
Thank you Lok!!
I see new Lok wideo. I click like :)
"Zoom lens!!" Love it.
Did you mess around with the VCT grip much? Could it be used with a larger camera? I'm hoping to get the a7iii later this year and wondering if it would work with it. Thanks!
Yes it works with my a7SII, and works as a tripod for it! But you have to be careful as the grip was designer for 1KG of load only; it works but I feels like it would break for not long
You're great! Thank you so much!
Like the review Lok
Amazing review!!
FIRST LOK !!!
We had one of these type of Sony RX compact cameras. Overheating was a significant issue, it rendered the camera useless. We will never purchase one of these cameras again.
fleetingdays it doesn't overheat since mark V except you record 4k for over 20 minute
Thank you for letting us know!
of course it overheats, mark IV V or VI all RIp in 5 mins 4k
We can't afford to gamble with these type of cameras anymore! If Sony gave us one of these cameras for free, it would be another matter. With our money, we can't do it anymore.
Small body will compromise the cooling part, if you need something that can record quiet long, you should try something bigger.
sounds that i would prefer the RX00V
no.1?
you havent commented on the video so who cares if your 1 or 5000001 ?...nobody thats who...
You cared enough to comment!
Someone is unhappy! Cheer up lad!! hehe
guys, lets enjoy this fun video, if i did someting annoying, i apologize . and why dont you discuss some of the relevant contents about this video
Completely agree. Guys plz don't argue here, it doesn't matter if someone is depressed and unhappy with their life etc Just enjoy the review!!!
Impossible as the ultimate vlog camera. Headphone jack and mic jacks have an amplifier and preamplifier there too and that means size and heat challenges. Also the 1 inch BSI sensor only goes so far in low light. Size of the sensor and a fast lens matter. F 2.8 to 4.5 is okay. As expensive as this is, that is allot of camera with you. I think the RX-100 is great. Just won't get my money. How is the low light performance? I hate small sensors and poor shallow depth of field. It is a candid quicky camera that you pay too much for.
Still love your videos Lok. Just not this camera. I'll take a RX-10 IV instead if I have to pick a bridge/point and shoot.
Also remember as the camera gets smaller, heat is harder to manage on video processing in 4K. Heat sinking a small camera is a huge challenge. You need another quantum leap in low voltage low current processors that do the work cooler, and codecs that are more efficient.
