YOU Should buy a SONY RX100V, And Here's Why!

Today I'm going to convince you that you should buy a Sony RX100V! It might be the closest to a perfect camera out there today and can be had for some legitimate prices.

It records in 4k, has a built in nd filter, killer autofocus, I mean my only other camera that does the same thing weighs 10 times as much and costs more then 10 times as much, this thing is really a portable video studio.

I have a handful of Sony bodies (FF and APS-C) and the RX100v is my favorite. Amazing video and photo quality literally in your pocket!

Interesting that the best choice for RX100 is not the current updated model, but the previous version V. I get it that people wanted more zoom range but the cost in lens speed is just not worth it. 1.8-2.8 is worth gold. But the biggest sin was taking out the ND filter. I get it that a lot of amateurs don’t know why and how they should use an ND, but for anyone serious with their video, that ND is more gold.

Interesting that product shooting is talked about here. I have heard this from no-one else and it is a very real and incredibly useful capability. Five star review for highlighting the things that get overlooked, and also for describing the positive of the workaround for the lack of mic jack, rather than the negative of just b**ching about it. Every camera I have ever owned has had limitations that required looking for solutions. Nothing is perfect, but solutions are what is needed.

Ultimately, though, the best reason for the RX100 series is barely mentioned here and that is the slowmo capabilities in an affordable camera. The only comparable affordable package (almost, because it is the 240fps that is most useful) is the GoPro Hero 7 but a 24-70 lens and a faster aperture is far more useful than an ultra-wide for slowmo in general photography, although, the GoPro and the RX100 make a brilliant and complementary pair with each making up for the limitations in the other. And both are small enough to make carrying both easy to do.

I just bought it seconds ago for 400 bucks. Returned my 1 day old newly bought hx99 due to being defective. Glad I did, now the rx100 v is coming in the mail soon and for less! Then hx99. Saved money and upgraded. Hell yeah. Loving the videos.

Edit: this video is 2 years old and open box for 500? Wow! I just checked Best buy now, 2 years later open box goes more then 800? You sure did got it for an amazing deal.

mic input jack is very important, it helps a lot with your workflow. I like the camera but way too expensive.

[richiehimes]

AAAARGH!!! Still no Mic in jack!
Why do you do us like this Sony???
Beautiful camera tho.

[tomdrums]

The absolute best combo for me is having the rx100v and the HX99. Pretty much covers all bases!

[Drones]

You sure do make me want to buy stuff man! I'm thinking this would be a perfect second angle camera.

Hey! Love your channel, I love that your analysis are focused on making youtube videos!
Can you make a video explaining the importance and benefits of recording on 4k?

[Carolyne_games]

The whole RX line is just wonderful. Own a first gen RX1 that still is one of the best portable stills camera today, and my parents own a RX10M4 and a RX100M5 which they take everywhere when traveling. For the features you get with the RX models I think the prices are definitely justified, not to mention the deals you can find recently (as you mentioned in the video).

[ChasingForever]

I own and love this camera. I use it with a lavaliere mic and synch the sound in iMovie for YouTube videos. To my knowledge, it's the only Sony with a "flippy" screen. Takes nice snaps too. Great overall value, and I bought it over a year ago new for just under $1000. Now with the RX100 VI, you can pick it up for way less.

[seanc.]

Man! C'mon TEDD everytime you put a new video of it makes me want something new! Ha, ha. I love the size and the spec monster this little guy is. Will keep an out for a deal on one for sure!

[ATruths]

Ha!! I just picked one up used with 4 batteries for $650

[Emind]

Greetings would recommend the rx100 v or the g7x 2? Real world use. Continue auto focus, low light shooting photos and video. Can get a used g7x2 for $400 or rx100 v for $500.

Hey TEDD, this is one very cool smaller format video camera with very nice specs. Seems to have many features but the limit on video length seems to be a problem along with no mic input. Have you happened to find a workaround for the video recording limit and is there a limit on other modes? This looks very interesting for a starter video camera for someone on my Christmas list, I really like the pricing and features. Thanks, Gary!

[RICKHALBUR]

Thanks Gary great review I like Steve Carpenter's question about the no mic and how to get around it. Was there a live stream last Saturday? I could not find it.

[marxfishing]

Vloging test done on a soccer field. Can in get any more Midwest than that? Loved the video. Thank you.

[ParakramRana]

Hey. Thanks for the video. I am really tempted to buy this camera now. I had a question regarding photos. Do they click as good pictures as well? I am looking to buy this compact camera mainly for pictures as I am a blogger and take lots of pictures from my phone and plan on upgrading to a better professional camera.

[gilcarvalho]

Great video EDD, but in the video comparison between the S9 and the Sony RX100 V you said that it was going to sell the rx100. What made you change your mine and suggest buying the sony in this video?

I know 4K is all the rage, but how is the 1080p quality?
For youtube 1080 is usually adequate, but I know some cameras don't have a good 1080 image, forcing you to shoot 4k and downsample.
Would you use the 1080?
