I am a Sony user ( came over from Canon ) now shoot A7Riii + A6300. I do enjoy your reviews. And this one is once again,  excellent. I enjoy the fact, that you move quickly through the review, as most will know how, and really, just want to know, what is new to the item being reviewed. Also great editing, making for not only an excellent review, but also a great look at a cycle trip. Thanks Steve ( New Zealand )

You can always use the lensmate quick change filter adapter kit for the RX100 VI and add ND and other any 52mm filters.

Hi Maarten,
Another brilliant A-Z camera review for the Sony RX100 and delivered in a very relaxed and friendly way. I like watching your reviews as they are both very informative and also have a sprinkle of very useful tips thrown in for seasoning!

Great to meet both of you whilst here in France this year - next time you are over here and in the South we must have dinner, naturally after we have both taken the food pictures beforehand!!

All the best. Mark

It’s so refreshing to see a review that goes into photos with this camera! Everyone loves to talk about the video, but it is nice to see another perspective. And you have such a calming and likable personality. Not a ton of crazy editing, but you keep things interesting. Thank you.

I just ordered this camera today! My husband and I are heading to Italy in about a month for our honeymoon and I did not want to take my big clunky Nikon but wanted so bad to have a camera with me! I have been trying to do some research on it before it arrives. I love taking photos and can take some great ones but I do not get to enough to be as knowledgeable in all of the settings and things like that. So I came across your video and thought it was so informative and saved it to watch again when my camera arrives next week!

This is just about the best camera review I've ever seen. Super thorough and helpful. Thank you so much for the thought and care you put into making it! Happy to be your newest subscriber. Hope you have some great bike trips lined up for the coming year.

[DianaPopov]

Thank you for the detailed review. I have bought this camera recently and started to use it. Your video will help me to learn how to use in better way !

[theuktoday]

Your videos are always informative and you have a really nice relaxed way to get the message across

I am a new owner just getting to grips with the camera. I also own a Sony A6300, so the labyrinthine menu isn't as much an issue for me as for someone coming fresh to it. It might be worth you adding a caption to point out that an adhesive filter ring is available and so can negate the lack of an ND filter. A useful video, clear and comprehensive. I keep my subscriptions to a minimum, but you earned one. Thank you.

Been a while Mr Heilbron, nice to revisit you and catch this A+ presentation. Very enjoyable review due to your particular steady style with both dense info & clear organization. I suggest you pitch your method of presentation to manufacturers. No wasted time, full detailed disclosure, yet no sense of a rush. Not a "you figure out what to do" laundry list of specs, but wise real world advice. Alternately offer to write a user guide to go with their stunningly cold engineer-written "manuals." I don't own a Sony, they are notoriously confusing, yet your presentation make the product seem very approachable. You add value. A person could buy that camera, watch your vid, and avoid a ton of aggravation. Happy new year.

Just purchased today. A trip for a month coming up to Europe makes this my go-to camera. Too hard to lug my D850 and gear around, after all its a holiday, not a shoot! Thanks for your video, most helpful.

Beautiful work as always. Kudos from a fellow Canuck! I have an RX100 iii and couldn't live without the AG-R2 grip that attaches to the front of the camera. Why it isn't included in the box escapes me. I find it completely changes the handling of the camera and facilitates single handed use. Cheers!

[MrRMB]

One of the very best reviews out there. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I think I found my next camera!

[DavidfromSwitzerland]

Thx Maarten. You are by far the best on youtube for Reviews of cameras. Regards David

Have recently discovered your channel and been binge watching your videos since. Besides the meticulous planning, shooting and in-depth reviews, I am also wondering how come I haven't heard you say "umm" once. Really impressive.

Recently bought (well it was my 50th b'day present) the SONY RXM6. I'm really pleased with the camera so far. It has so many features and settings that I'm still discovering right now. So, your tips on settings are really useful. I'd read so many negative reactions to this camera (especially on the Sony YT channel) that I somehow thought that I made the wrong choice in choosing this SONY. Your video put my mind to rest as you actually show the pro's and con's of the camera. Guess there's not 1 compact camera out there that will please everyone or offer all the features that are available. Buying one model is loosing out on the pro's of another model. Glad you spoke about the overheating and it not really being a big issue (for you). So many people are complaining that they can only film for a max of 5 minutes. I was wondering how many of those users actually film for 5 minutes in 1 go?! I use my camera when on holidays and I'm not on a cinematography expedition. So this camera is perfect for me.

This review is a "Wow". I learned a lot that I can apply as a new rx100 vi user.

Hi Maarten,
I just went on holiday, biking like you, with my RX100VI and I also found it the perfect camera to be able to travel light. The quality of the images is quite good. I did not try the video side but I guess it will be good as well. Thanks for this good video, covering everything and showing real life pictures and videos. The zoom range is really suitable for travel photography and I love it. Thanks again.

Wow, Sony has made the VII an elite hybrid camera. Thank you for the extensive review of the VI.

[spiritusmentis]

Great review, nice quick run through the settings. Also jealous of your awesome bike trip!
