Sony RX0 Unboxing and Initial Impressions! Is this an Action Camera?

Today we're going to unbox the brand new Sony RX0 miniature camera. It's incredible that Sony was able to fit a 1inch size sensor camera into this tiny little housing. I'm really excited to unbox this and give my initial impressions (I hope they are good!). I'm looking to get a second serious camera for the channel and am thinking about either keeping this camera or getting a RX 100 V or Cannon G7X II. We'll have to see how it goes!

Thanks for doing all your tech reviews.

Now this is the best action camera out there, action or no actions save the phrase for sony action .

[tommyg]

I was thinking "that might be a good camera to mount to my screamer drone" then I think I stopped breathing when I heard the price tag!

I think you can get it to work, if you use your 3d printer to make an extension/adapter.

you know, i'm intrigued by this camera. it looks like an action camera. but sony will tell you it's not an action camera. i can't figure out what i'd use it for

$$$$

Too much for too little IMO .

Thanks for the video! Take care, Bill

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Nice quick review.

Austin Evans should do "building the ultimate Sony RX0"

[beerborn]

It's the freegin Zeiss lens that makes it expensive. If they use Sony lens it be worth $100.

[mixflip]

$700 with no touch screen??? Deal breaker for me. I'll stick with my GoPro hero 4 silver.

[sharvaparalkar]

actually the hero session is the smallest and you could get the new fusion by go pro + it does 5.2 k

[syarizansulaiman]

Please do comparison with gopro hero 7 black

[jimmywrangles]

For $700 you could buy a DJI phantom3 4k drone that follows you around and takes 4k video from altitude with a gimbal.

[GetOutTheHouseGoFish]

You have a 3D printer you can make something to fit the gimbal? Wasnt impressed with the video or the audio especially for $700. Glad you did the review. I was curious about that camera.

[carljenkins]

The B Cam for you is the Z Cam E1 with Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens.

Thank me later.

[NirifaEducation]

Do you prefer sony x3000 or go pro hero 7? Give me advice

[clementtong]

I really like the fact that this camara can be synced with 5 devices. Unfortunately, I do believe that it is too expensive and the User Interface is not impressive enough. Sony always has good hardware but bad UI. As the mater fact, they Yi4k + has a better value.

[leamas]

It's not an action cam.
It seems that this is a "crash cam".
If the shot you wan't requires placing camera in confined space where your Alexa won't fit or there is high risk that your Red would be destroyed you pull out something like this out of your bag.
It has large sensor so files from it are closer to big camera files than movies from an action cam. Log profile helps to blend material better with big cam files.
It has accessories like lens hood which is impossible for any action cam and many other accessories that point out that this may been designed with crash cam use in mind.

[lukits]

curious to know whether you managed to mount the RX0 into that Feiyu G5 gimbal with longer screws.

[IslandsOfFun]

Great review!! A bit pricey and way out of my budget

Try Polaroid's camera "cube plus"
