Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! And very good question! Let's start with the zoom part of your question, the Ricoh GRIII does not have a zoom lens, so you are stuck with the fixed lens of the model you purchase (there are some with different focal lengths). However, there is a "crop mode" function that lets you punch in the frame, sort of like a digital zoom. The Sony RX100VII has an optical zoom lens from 24-200mm which is insanely versatile. If you want to be able to zoom, the Rx100 is a no-brainer. In terms of image quality, they are both going to produce fantastic images; you may not even be able to tell the difference. However, the Ricoh GRIII does have a character to it that is, I would say, close to a Fujifilm in terms of like "creative style". However, if you want something that can do a bit of everything, like video, images, etc., I think the RX100 is the right choice. If you mainly want a camera to take photos with a creative flare, I would go with the Ricoh. Your iPhone does take good quality videos, but if you ever want to up your video quality in the future, audio will be most important. The Sony Rx100Vii has a mic input, so you can attach an external microphone. That paired with its image quality, I think it's the better choice for video, especially because it will have better depth of field. There will be more of a learning curve, but it is more future proof in my opinion. That being said, your iPhone will do the job if you're just starting out. Also, using an iPhone as a video camera (although it is totally usable), there is an advantage to having a separate camera JUST for taking photos and videos because you won't get distracted, and you have more creative control.

@@kairoldancreations Thank you verry much:))

@@luclandry92 thank you so much! Aw I’m so glad it sparked an old flame for you. I don’t use LR anymore because I’m boycotting Adobe, but I do plan to make a video in the future about how I edit photos in Affinity Photo to make them look a lil vintage (a lot should translate tho). So stick around and stay tuned!

@@kabirdhadiala good question, I considered it, but I wanted a camera that was more tailored for taking photos. The ZV-1 was made more for vloggers in mind, and I also wanted a camera with a little bit of an older sensor. I wanted something with a bit of an “older” feel

envious you have the vii lol, and wow didn't know there was a lens like then on Sony aps-c!! That's super awesome, thanks for bringing that to my attention

Yes! I am working on a video where I do a live break down of a shot. You're so right; it can be distracting to stop mid-flow, but I think it's helpful to slow down, too.

@@Glacial_Glass I uploaded a video a couple weeks ago doing just this! And I’ll be posting another one by the end of this week

@@kairoldancreations oh hells bells yeah!! I can’t wait to watch it 😁

Thanks so much, Jack! I appreciate you passing down your wisdom, and I totally agree. Full frames and zoom lenses can get complicated so quickly. There's something unique about a small compact camera; it simplifies things so you can focus on taking the photo. I'm glad to hear you are inspired!

@@kairoldancreations The little sony would be the one, if i had to choose a single camera for the rest of my life. That's for sure. Best luck with your YT channel, Kai.

@@Jack_Schularick thanks so much!

I was looking at one used... But your words struck me..esp. The part "Love hate relationship" with it..... I wonder if you could elaborate just a little bit for my curiosity....

@motionoftheocean7524 It probably says more about me than about the camera. I almost never shoot spontaneously, on the go. I take my camera on a trip or a walk and so I take a full frame. This Rx100 has great IQ for its size but it struggles with bokeh and has no macro capability. The zoom range is just 24-70mm. Its noise is not pretty. So much for the hate part. But the images it produces, within the limitations, are great.

can you be more specific?

I did! However, I really wanted a zoom lens, not a fixed prime lens. I'd get both if I had the money. Totally agree about a smartphone not cutting it. If you have the money, I'd say go for the Ricoh if you really want it!

@@kairoldancreations yes zoom is really tempting! Very useful with kids. I generally prefer prime lenses, but in this case I'm a bit conflicted. Maybe I'll try and rent Sony and try it out. Thanks!

@@kash.h Yes being able to zoom is so much better for moving subjects. I prefer primes when I'm taking portrait photos or of still objects. Maybe consider what you primarily want to be able to accomplish with the camera. Like do you want it for one specific thing, or do you want more versatility? imo: Ricoh = street photography, portraits, stills ; Sony = a little bit of everything

Thanks! 🙏🏼

What I mean is that in a reference there are going to be a lot of colors to look at that are not always going to match the colors you have in your markers. And at first this might seem like a problem. But actually, you can see it as an advantage because it forces you to learn to see colors for their value and hue and choose the closest thing possible. It also makes your drawing more stylized. For example, I didn’t have the perfect color to match her lips, BUT I did have a vibrant pink that I thought could actually enhance the composition. It forced me to make a stylized choice. Hopefully that helps!

Thank you!!

You’re welcome, and thank you for the compliment! Yes alcohol markers really force you to trust the process!! lol

I'm so glad! They really are a treat to use once you figure them out. Don’t give up!

Keep drawing! You'll get there 🙏🏼

that’s what I thought too!!

Just looked up Nick Nelson, and omg they do look alike! How funny, I've never seen this man before and I basically cartooned him haha

Wow thank you so much for your kind words ❤️

@@kairoldancreations Your welcome!

I'm also Asian, the point of the video is to express that any eye shape can be broken down into a parallelogram to understand that basic lines that make up the eye (not that eyes can't be almond shaped). Most beginner artists will just make a simple almond that isn't anatomically correct, so breaking it down into a parallelogram first helps to create a more accurate representation of an eye
