Hi, having watched a bunch of reviews on this camera, I just wanted to thank you for the time, consideration, effort and immense amount of pertinent information you put into your reviews. Your reviews in general stand head and shoulders above the majority of others. Thanks again, this review was very helpful in my decision to buy the M3 over the M4.

+Maarten Heilbron Does the flipscreen work while recording a video also is there a time limit to how long you can record videos?? What editing software do you use to edit your videos? Can you please do a video on Sony RX100M3 vs Sony CyberShot RX100 IV and tell us which camera you think is better out of them or you can tell me that in a comment.

I agree, great, this is so much more than just a review, it's so instructive that I would love having you make video manuals for all the rest of the settings the RX100 has and how to use them … because even not really being a photo rookie, learning to use this camera will take me a lot of time! So take the challenge and make an instruction film. If Sony can't make it, they ought to support you!

Excellent review. Thank you for not getting on the spec rant bandwagon and rather focusing on how one might use it in real world scenario. I got mine on the day it was released, played with it exclusively for a month or so before passing it on to my daughter as a replacement to her OM-D E-M5. I bought/downloaded every app available from Sony, but feel that none really offer anything fantastic---kind of gimmicky and perhaps more suitable for novices. Unlike you, I do have a bit of axe to grind with Sony for not providing, or fixing it in the latest firmware update, a disable switch for the EVF power off function. Cheers and keep up the good work!

It is supposed to be done via sony mobile app you download on your phone and the locations are transfered from the phone to pictures via wi-fi.

Never mind - I think I will succumb to this camera anyway and might let you know later this year. ;-) *****

Just discovered your channel. Great review. It seems like a very impressive camera. I've been shooting professionally for 30 years. I started shooting with the Hitachi FP22, which weighed 25+ lbs, just for the camera! You attached it thru multi-pin cables to a 3/4" recorder (20+ lbs), which recorded onto 20 minute analog tape cassettes! But it was such a huge advance that everything changed almost overnight. It was the end of TV stations shooting and editing the daily news on film.) It was my first taste of what has been a constantly evolving industry driven by amazing technological advances. And this camera looks like another potential game changer. It reminds me of when I first saw Sony's PD150. I was hired to shoot a street level documentary of the Salt Lake City Olympics. It was hard to believe that it could be as good as it was technically, and that you could shoot high quality professional work with it because of its size and form factor. But once we tricked them out with wide angle lens adapters, Sennheiser shotguns, and critically important, figured out that a small photography monopod acted like a poor man's Steadicam they were a revelation. This camera looks like the beginning of another wave. It seems almost ridiculously cheap and small for the outstanding video results you seemed to easily achieve. What do you think? Will it's imagery hold up to colour grading and professional digital editing? Do the impressive hardware/software advances you highlighted compensate enough for the inherent difficulties of trying to achieve professional results under real world conditions with what looks like a toy? I would love to have another tool like that in my kit - if it delivers what it seems to promise. Is this camera ready for prime time?
@MaartenHeilbron
@MaartenHeilbron 9 жыл бұрын
pe8er8 Clearly your experience indicates a willingness to experiment - so I'd say go for it. It does have some limitations, but remember that the 1 inch sensor is much larger than nearly all camcorders. But you ask specifically about "prime time" - so I'd say no - acknowledging that none of the cameras you mention were ready either, but "prime time" and broadcast quality adjusted to accomodate the flexibility those cameras offered. You will not find the RX100 lacking in quality, you may find it lacking in pro-video features. There are no profiles, no gamma adjustments, etc. Grading may be a challenge, but you won't have any issues editing the XAVC-S format. My first portable video experience was with a Sony portapak - although I don't remember the model number. It recorded black and white video on 1/2" open reel tapes, but it enabled us to break free of the studio and do many interesting things.

Supposedly one of my Sony remotes will work with this model. No I.b. - so I am feeling my way. Considering that I spent $275US for it - was a happy buyer. Still sad about dropping my original model….

The most detail RX100 M3 reviews I've seen! I was wondering if you would be able to do a review of the Panasonic FZ1000. I'm looking for the best (cheapest) 4K solution, but I was wondering if I should just settle for 1080p with the RX10 because of the price drop and ND filters.

Average Adversary Thanks for the kind words. I'll put the FZ1000 on my "to-do" list. I haven't reviewed the RX10. If you can wait 6-9 months I'm pretty sure there will be a much larger selection of 4K cameras, which might quickly become the video standard for still cameras.

Great video Maarten. I have a humble budget (USD 500) and I'm thinking either to buy a RX100M1 or the alpha5100 w/kit lens. In one hand RX100 has a nice glass with f1.8 and portability vantage, and in the other hand a5100 has a much larger sensor, the a6000 focus system, WiFi, and isn't much bigger at a lower price. I'm interested in good quality image, low light capabilities, in a good constructed body. Which do you think is best? Thanks for your time.

It's nice that you combine your love of travel and photography. The videos are informative but personal, which gives a nice dimension. It looks like you have a lot of fun together! I ordered an a6000 today and will try it out. The Nikon 5300 has been suggested to me. My only experience with Nikon was the 3200, an entry level camera which produced greenish looking fuzzy pictures. Is it true that Nikon tends more towards green/yellow inately? I have read this from another professional photographer's reviews...thanks again for your videos and your replies!

I appreciate your kind words. In video, if you are shooting 4K and inputting HD, you can zoom up to 200% with no apparent loss of quality. For images, that's a subjective decision. It depends on the final output - for example, depending on the amount of zoom it might not be noticeable on a web page, but it would be noticeable on a large print.

Excellent video Maarten. I really like your review style... lots and lots of detail and facts packed into a fast-paced video... I just received my A6000 yesterday, so I can't justify buying another camera just yet, but I did notice that the price of the RX100 Model 1 has now dropped to the price of a good point & shoot camera! I wonder how much longer the Model 1 will be available?

ForViewingOnly That's very kind of you to say - that's exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. I find both the M1 and M3 very tempting. Only Sony can answer that, but I don't imagine it's still in production, so it's a question of how much stock remains.

I'm not sure which problem you're having - that autofocus wanders or drifts, or just doesn't work. There are sadly too few options for focus in video mode. In the auto focus continuous mode, if face recognition doesn't work for you (it doesn't for me) then try manual. It's not as easy, but unless you're moving a lot, I find it works well. I hope this helps, let me know.

EMAlife Thanks for the kind words, I always enjoy hearing from interested viewers. Standard SD cards work in the RX100M3, you only need one. Faster cards (class 10) will recover faster in burst shooting. If you want to shoot video in XAVC-S you'll need SD-HC, which would be my recommendation for both still and video shooting.

Maarten very nice review ! I'd say the best review of this little piece I've seen. I know you own the a6000 and nex6, so comparing in picture quality what can you say?. I have canon 6d and 70d with L glass and I know this RX100 doesn't produce same quality, however I need a pocket size camera for traveling and carrying 6d or 70d is sometimes tired. Would you recommend this camera in picture quality? appreciate your thoughts.. ( I like nex6 and a6000 but they are not pocket size )

Mike guitar Considering the size of the camera, the size of the sensor and the size of the lens, the images are astounding - I've blown up low light images to 24x36 and am very pleased. Check out the sample images and review at dpreview. But keep your L glass - I own a 24-105 and it's the best lens I've ever used, but I don't travel with it.

Ann Bos I haven't had the chance to try the HX90, so can't offer first-hand observations. From the specification, the HX90 offers a much longer zoom, but uses a smaller sensor. If zoom is important to you, go with the HX90, for quality I'd prefer the RX100 - although for a beginner either would be fine. The G7X (same sensor and zoom range as the RX100) offers a slightly different set of features - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbGmi8-rvbjNpqs.html. Hope this helps.
