Thank you so much for the breadth of comparison that you took the time to perform and share with us, especially the differences between the key specs. It was very helpful to me and affirmed my decision on the camera to Go’ with. Much appreciated!

If you buy the Sony RMT-P1BT Remote Control Bluetooth for the camera you can control the focus at any time manual from a far what is very useful to have when pointing camera in video plus zoom in and out and take photos mode and you can also buy battery for the rx0 I Nikon MH-66 / NIK-EL 19 work on Rx0ii as well
Capacity: 1200mAh and I even find some 1800 AH and 2000 AH too

Excellent review/comparison. I use a similar set up for RX0ii with a cage and wide angle adapter. Same you showed Sony VCL-HG0737C which is super wide but mostly I use Ulanzi WL-1 which is not a super wide but produce good image quality. And after I process the video in catalyst browse to make it stable and it crops back the image to aprox 24mm (depending of how much stabilization I want). Its some extra steps for making the video stable, but worht it imo. But sure, I wish Sony could process all this in the camera.
If I want "tele" I also use a 2x tele adapter, Im looking for one tele of good quality since most of them that I been using have very bad sharpnes at the corners. Dont see it as a problem as for now since after I put it in Catalyst Browze the corners will be croped away.

A cage has a big benefit of decipating heat. I been shooting 30min straight in +37c without any problems. Also it more easy to mounth a external mic if you use a cage.

A tip for vloggers, do prefocus and put one of the screen button as a button where you can switch between NEAR and NORMAL focus mood.

Also add a powerbank battery grip and you only need one battery :-)

Thank you so much for this in-depth and detailed comparison

The Sony RX0 II is extremely tempting and looks more versatile in terms of how it could shift from casual to professional situations.

Sony should *_DEFINITELY_* create an update version of their Action Camera line, the FDR X3000 line - that camera is 6 years old and is STILL extremely comparable to even the most recent GoPros. It also seen a resurgence in popularity as it is a heavily sought solution for streaming.

Imagine an updated 2022 version of that action cam... It would be the best ever. The image quality, even while released 6 years ago, is still spectacular, the sound is the best on ANY action camera, the image stabilisation solid (all lens, not digital!) and the form factor is great.

But back on topic, the RX0 II moved up on my list thanks to your video!

great comparision, thank you very much!

gopro just a action cam but the sony rx0 II is a compact camera

[TylerAYoutube]

Thanks for the comparison man :D I did consider Sony RX0 for a while. But went for GoPRO Hero 10

Hello, the lens for a larger field of vision, what size does the adapter have? Thanks.

[uxjordan]

Sushan one question can you install nd filters with a 37mm thread with mit puluz?

[uxjordan]

Does anyone know how to put an anamorphic lens on the Sony RX0 II model? Thanks

[youranonymous]

Your video is really good. Professor level good.

[bjornschouten]

Would you still recommend this camera or would you buy the gopro hero 12 (that's coming soon). I'm looking for a all in one small camera that can go into the water for my vacation videos (short clips edited together). It should go in sea water too.

U can set wind protection on ur Gopro settings for audio*

GoPro has one thing that no other options have. Hindsight. Without that, either you will miss the moment or recording files are overwhelming. That is why I cannot dump this stupid camera and I hate it but I have to keep using it. I carry both GoPro and rx0m2. Whenever it is available, I use rx. But the GoPro is always on with Hindsight and Volta battery grip.

Great review. I love the rx0ii but I use it more for photos near or in the water. That’s where it wins for me. For video I like the 1080p 60fps. The catalyst browser is just a pain but it does work. Only a few will like the rx0 most will not like it. Very expense and not user friendly. Also I don’t. Think Sony will update this camera. I don’t think it was very successful for them most people didn’t understand it and try to use it like a GoPro. I bet they come out with something completely different years from now. More in the action cam world like they used to have. Anyway

What F/W are you on? They added half shutter button press to refocus.

[VladOnEarth]

you cant firmware upgrade a 4K sensor into a 5K lol...

[lillekenatnek]

I dont understand why ReelSteady has to be purchased in the software I tought it was already a feature that the camera has. It feels kinda like a ripoff tbh. can someone explain?

[ПетърХристов-ке]

I think the only advantage of Sony is you can shoot at low light. With the go pro once the sun goes down, it's over
