Summary for the lazy:

1. Slomo + Battery. (Great slomo. Battery dies quickly)
2. Audio + Windscreens (You NEED windscreens!)
3. Screen (Gets scratched easily.)
4. Autoexposure (Most annoying thing about the camera.)
5. Audio (Pretty good, but you can not add an external mic.)

Love this camera and glad you kinda talked me into it.
I would add that when it's day time you'll want to set the ND filter to be on. Also if you have a darker complexion you'll need to remember to turn it off in low light situations, and you will need to set the camera for Phase Detection, vs Contrast detection so it can handle autofocusing better.

So much love! Huge Sony fan myself, just vlogged a six day trip to New York with my wife on the A7RII and RX100 M3

Just a note, what I love about the RX100mk5 and 4 is that you can charge them while you're using them. My RX100mk5 sits in a berghaus case next to a 6000mAh USB battery bank. A small 90 degree USB cable charges it while it's in the case. With a longer 90 degree cable of sufficient quality, you can leave it tethered and topped up for hours.

I shoot the RX 100 V for stills daily. I've found that outdoor exposures are set better if you use the center option. I also go to DMF frequently so that I can tell the AF to set for the subject and not what's behind them.

Yes, the lack of a mic input jack is a deal breaker for this to be the primary vlogging camera. But these point and shoots are great as a secondary cam.

I’ve had this camera for about 4 years, and it’s awesome! I have extra batteries and an extra charger. Great camera! I bought it at Best Buy, and it hasn’t lost much value. Thank you for the review. Good advice on the audio.

BEFORE YOU SCROLL DOWN!!






This is the camera I used for shooting my videos and trust me, it works like a charm!! Audio is great and amazing settings on it. Aperture controls are so handy and the programmable ring is perfect! Perfect for vlogging! Great video by the way!

Sara, regarding auto exposure, put nd filter also on auto. It will probably help for those kind of situations.

[OriginalSharpe]

Awesome review. It's great to hear a review where the bugs or annoyances are discussed instead of everything being peachy :)

[jman]

Great tips! I have a Sony Rx100 V too and I absolutely love it 🙏🏼

[benjaminkats]

On cameras you can lock exposure to avoid exposure shift during a video.

Sara you are by far my fave youtuber ever. You and John Hill are the only youtubers I watch every time they post. Big love!! And stay peachin'

[McKenzieSteuber]

I totally agree with the screen protector. I definitely found that my screen gets scratched so quickly!

[ChrisRuggiero]

Agreed on all this, but I've been using the wasabi batteries and they're working fine for me! Loving the camera. Sara, you were one of the reasons I got it!

[KeeshiaPie]

Thanks for the tips, Sara! Just got this camera, so excited to use it!

[LeDribFPV]

Yeah the lack of audio input is the deal breaker for the 100v for me. I float between my d5300 and a GoPro... a high quality camera to use in between the two would be so nice I'm just not sold quite yet. Hoping the VI is improved :)

[steveedelen]

I love mine. Hate the Battery drama though. Also the endless settings menu that just keeps going. By the time I changed the setting I missed the shot. But really what other camera does the Higher frame rates for slo mo at such a wonderful price. Its also draws less attention which is great. It really is a great camera. I did a vlog in Myrtle Beach SC with it and I couldn't believe the qaulity I got from it. The RX100 is just plain Peachy ;)

[frazervarney]

I'd like to add, if you own the RX100 IV, the V isn't a MAJOR step up, it's probably not worth the upgrade. Great video Sara, keep up the awesome work!

[jtrizzo]

Didn't check the comments, but if you're worried about battery life. You can use a micro-usb external battery to charge the camera while you're using it.
