This is literally the best Camera comparison video I've ever seen, and I have been watching a lot lately! Thank you for this... it's really helping me make a decision. It seems like Sony has the most realistic colors and very good focusing capabilities, but gets laggy when going from bright to dark settings. The Canon is so good in dim settings, but its colors seem over saturated at times and doesn't do well with focusing changes. Panasonic has great focusing and dim lighting abilities, but the colors seem unnatural at times and the stabilization doesn't seem to be its strong point. Lots to consider.
Great comment, really the 3 cameras have strengths and weaknesses, it is difficult to choose, it is depend on the purpose you have each. My question is: which one is better for photography?
isaac macdonald the sound isn't the issue put that fluffy thing that doesn't pick any noisy and windy sound, you'll be good to go.. I prefer it and it doesn't costs so much as the Sony... -__- I've seen other YT Vloggers that I always watch and check out they have n use the Canon G7X Mark II and the sound is perfectly fine plus the QUALITY looks damn good, i'll be getting it soon it'll be amazing!
name not important it’s because many of the UA-camrs doesn’t record on the camera but on a mic that’s connected to the pc so they can edit the voice recording in the film
Love the way you set up this comparison. How great to see all 3 performing live. Really appreciate this video, as I'm thinking about picking up one of these 3 for an upcoming trip.
Awesome review!. I would go with the Canon G7X ii which is made in Japan, has far superior quality, and much better Customer Support. The RX100 and the LX10 are made in China and the quality is very poor. Sony and Panasonic calibrate their cameras pretty much the same, as far as full Auto mode goes. Canon likes to calibrate theirs more on the cool side, for some reason. So, if you like how the video looks on the Sony and the Panasonic, you can set the WB (White balance) to the following. Set the mode to "P" (Programmed Automatic) and set the WB to A=3 and G=3. The WB is very important on how your video looks, setting it to warm, is a lot more appealing to the eye.
I wanted to mention that all 3 cameras are great, they are the top 3 cameras on the market right now, meaning if price wasn't an issue and you want the absolute best, these cameras will perform better than the rest on the market.
Wow what an amazing review I absolutely love it. U cover the vid footage on all cameras and test out all aspects of the video feature. great job best review I’ve ever seen
Thank you, that really means a lot. Ive been disconnected from youtube for a while, was deployed for almost a year but I will start posting new videos very soon.
One thing not mentioned is that the Panasonic shoots 4K in 15 minute segments without overheating whereas the Sony can only shot 4K for a maximum of 5 minutes before overheating and the Canon doe NOT shoot 4K.
Mark Daniel what would you need 4k for? I want a cam purely for I travel, hikes, street photography and family vlogging. I usually share on IG. Do you think 4k is needed?
Sony does best job here, you can optionally buy the rubber grip for Sony. but the Panasonic and the canon gives more for the money. But if you want the best camera only Sony.
Nikola Savic thank you so much! For stills, the Sony blows the other two out of the water. Check out my other video and you will see some stills comparisons in low light.
What a fast answer, you are amazing :) I am considering ditching my old Canon DSLR (40D) for this little camera. The biggest fear with Sony I have is that I noticed that it overexposing the highlights, like there is something wrong with dynamic range. Also, is it possible to make a photos more vibrant when shooting in Sony camera settings? I like the skin tones on Sony the best though. Are photos really comparable with dslrs?
Overexposure will occur depending on the settings you are using, I don't believe the camera suffers on that aspect. You can always fix this with the proper settings. You can shoot raw and adjust the color on post, there are also some camera presets that adjust the colors when shooting. The picture quality is very good, almost dslr level, but you have to remember that a dslr is only as good as the lens you are shooting with, meaning you can have a Canon T3 Rebel with a $2000 lens and the picture quality will be amazing and you can also have a Canon 5D Mark IV with a $150 lens and have crappy pictures. The Sony is a compact point and shoot wit superb quality.
Yes, I am aware of that, firstly I wanted Sony a6300 or a5100 but realised I would spend much more to get decent lens (rx100 has that included), and the camera would not be compact at all, and that's the reason I don't bring my dslr with me at the first place. Thank you for the answers, you helped a lot!
Thank you so much for these great review : honest, precise and very complete . I was is hesitating just like you to buy my new camera but thanks to your video I made my choice canon G7X Mark II Thanks again for your prescience help I wish you the best for the success of your channel
canon's image stabilization looked better because it was attached at the center of the ruler and the other two cameras were at the ends so there was more movement there. but panasonic's stabilization was the worst. i think sony's stabilization is even better than the canon's.
Thats one of the things I took in consideration while doing this video. I moved the cameras and the results were still the same. I know the ruler looks flimsy but its actually solid hard. That ruler is from the early 90's lol
wow that is kind of antique :) but even if the ruler was totally inflexible, there would be more movement at the corners simply because they are away from the center. well i didn't see the part where you moved the cameras, i must have missed it :)
i think i will get rx100ii as it fits my needs , i am not a fan of annoying touchscreen, flipscreen or viewfinder or wifi, i just need good video recording. sony's color might be on the cold side, but it can be fixed in post with the click of a button, that can not be a factor for not buying this camera, only deal breaker for canon is auto focus is very bad
Thanks a lot for your time of making this video, it helps a lot in choosing which camera to choose. I decided to get the Canon G7X Mark II the best choice for me over the other two cameras.
Canon’s got the best light adjustment and stability, Sony’s got the best audio and focuses much faster, and stays focused, the Panasonic is just trash.
I did almost the same thing he did in that I use the Canon daily for work, but I bought the Panasonic and the Sony to use personally. After a year, I can tell you that I reach for the Panasonic 90% of the time. All three cameras are technological marvels and produce excellent results, but I prefer the feel of the Panny and it does not suffer overheating like the Sony, which was a major problem. Lastly, contrary to what I saw in this video, the Panasonic has slightly better low light performance than the other two. I don't know if he had a defective unit or a setting was off, but the Panny wins in low light. Also, the LX10 has by far the best display and menu system. When you factor in that the Panny cost ~$500 less than the Sony, it changes things quite a bit.
I own the Sony and Canon and both are great. The Sony's focus and picture is far more superior. The canon however has the better Image Stabilization which makes it pretty awesome too but strugles with focusing at times. The Canon G5X is another great camera too.
Great comparison! Sony rx100 v is quite expensive for me. Thus, I'm thinking of getting either sony rx100 IV or canon g7x mark II. Which one would u suggest btwn these two?
anis whd Thank you, I would go with the Canon, its a fantastic camera with excellent built quality. The problem with the sony is the battery life and overheating problems, which the Canon doesn't have.
seems like something is wrong with the stabilization on the Panasonic, shouldn't shake that much. looking forward to a more in depth review please. the video functionality is important
All of these cameras wouldn't survive a drop from waist height. The cameras feel solid but keep in mind these are very delicate electronics and lenses in them.
thank you for this video, i was waiting for this review on youtube. very good job! i would choose the sony.... let us know what you choose. keep up the good work
tvlover81 lol way better? is not even close to the some. I had both G7x versions and the rx100 v blew them away. First the lens is of much higher quality with great shaprness across the frame wide open. then you 4k, hfr and much much faster AND accurate af unlike the Canon. The rx100 is on a other level
I have the rx100m3 and regarding the handling comfort, for these size of cameras, you seldom use them with one hand. When was the last time you use the LCD in shooting and never use 2-hands? I never buy the 3rd party adhesive grip because the camera looks cleaner without it.
Hola Racing, otra vez desde BsAs.. Quería preguntarte qué pensás con respecto a la Lumix lx100? Te parece que la lx10 es mejor que la 100? O vale más el sensor 4/3? Ahora la lx100 bajo de precio y creo que es más barata que la lx10. La Lx 10 parece menos sólida (aunque no la tuve en la mano). Abrazo y gracias, otra vez.
Ambas cámaras son bastante similares en cuanto a función pero la LX100 es mas grande y tiene el "hot shoe" mount para accesorios. La LX10 es superior en condiciones de poca luz pero no es por mucho la ventaja. Todo depende de que tan portátil quieras la cámara. La LX10 te cabe en el bolsillo del pantalón, la LX100 no, es mas grande y pesada.
Between LX10 or RX100 m5, What camera is better for someone whose looking for high qaulity photos for traveling. and Sometimes 4k video not for vlogging though. I been looking up the cameras consistantly for 5 days and I can't decide which one is better choice since lx10 is 300 dollars cheaper. I just cant decide which one has better photo ability..
ONSADE Thank you!! Id like to see a video about photos between these cameras as well. your opinion is appreciated. Sony is more expensive. its not a problem just want good images. :) thanks again.
Nice video. Interesting comparison. It's always subjective. Different lighting conditions exposed relevant strengths for a specific camera. End of the day you really can't go wrong with any of these cameras. I think the Canon is great value for money overall. The RX100 V has 'ridiculous' phase detection focusing which is very avant garde.
Which did you end up with I bought the lx10 but Im having regrets, none of the aftermarket batteries fit so batteries are 40 usd. Also low light/focusing looks bad and Im thinking either G7X m2 or Rx100 m4 bc they are around same price online. Keep lx10 or get one of those other 2 for vlogging?
Im glad you liked it. I haven't uploaded videos in a while because of my work, but I keep a close eye on the activity in my channel. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask
@@ONSADE Can you suggest which is better camera to choose between canon m6 and canon g7x mark ii. I have watched reviews but still have a struggle planning to do vlogs soon im a newbie in youtube.
Not yet, I'm doing in depth testing of the camera's right now and will put together a video to share it with you guys. Its taking me a while to do cause I'm on finals right now from school but I should have something this weekend
Prity good comparison regarding video quality I was wondering if you could provide comparison regarding still image quality. Do you have any idea in this regard?
You didn't mention how long they record for (without stopping) so I would love to know that. Great video man. I've been looking to replace my 60D and thought of these but I think these would be an addon and the price of $700+ seems like I might as well get a DSLR that does all this with another $1000 on top so I won't have to buy 2 cameras in the next few years. Below are sort of a videographer / photographers need going into the next 5 years and so far it's not to be found for anything under $3000. - 4K for future proof - 120 fps is sort of a must but not really. Software does wonders with even 30fps - Great in low light is a plus - Stabilization is a must (at least on a lens) - Flip or even better Swivel screen is beautiful but I find I can manage if I hook up an unused LCD with HDMI cable and same goes for Audio. No one uses plain camera audio. - Hot Shoe for flash is a must for photography. I'd hate to have 2 cameras (one for video and one for audio). - Interchangeable lenses would be best for photo and video especially if you have them (I have Canon EF lenses) The sony had the disturbing frame drop issues. That's a no no. From this list, Canon wins but still sucks.
Malia if you are in a quiet place where sound from the camera is likely to be picked up, I would turn off the continuous AF. For walking around while vlogging you can turn it on and you wont notice the sound.
Very good real life comparison. I'm about to buy one of these! Have you noticed the autofocus noise on the Canon? Incredible, wouldn't know about it if in another video a tester haven't explained it.
Thanks, im glad it helped. The Canon makes a slight noise when trying to auto focus, the only way you would notice it is if recording you're in total silence.You can adjust this feature in the menu, you can turn it on or off and you can also turn off the continuous autofocus to prevent this. Nothing out of the ordinary really, its a great camera.
Excellent comparison and in particular the demonstration of autofocus. The Sony seems to win that test hands down. How easy did you find it to navigate the menus? I have read that the Canon is very user friendly whereas the Sony requires a lot of diving deep into Menus? Once again great job.
For user interface I prefer the Canon. Everything is where you expect it to be. The Sony is a little bit more complicated but its just something to get used to. I really wish Sony would've put a touch screen on the camera
Hi. Thank you for your video. It helps me a lot!, BTW, Is it okay to buy a camera without 4k resolution??? NOW, 2018??? I am curious about your opinion. If you have time, could you answer my questions??? Thank you sooooooooooo much!
Hello, im glad the video helped you. 1080p works fine, it has it advantages, like better depth on field and better focusing in Canon cameras. Most of the videos you see on the cel phones are downgraded to 720p and 1080p, so you won't really take advantage of 4k for now. You can also record in 1080p and upscale to 4k in post. Some cameras record 1080p in a very high information format, so when its upscaled you can't even tell the difference. Some famous creators like Casey Neistat switched from 4k back to 1080p because you get better camera performance. Just make sure you get a good quality 1080p camera and you will be fine for years to come. Remember, its all about the story, not the gear ;)
Oh My God. Thank you so much for your quick and detailed answer. so sweet:) Anyway, I agree with you that story point. haha but I am still confused about those cameras. I was about to buying G7x Mark II because of your video and comment(tilt up/down display and COLOR! were great part. I am not good at color grading) but I found that there is noisy sound while focus moving… LX10 also bothers me because of stability while walking or moving on your video. I want to make videos, filled with specific place’s vibe, so both are quite important for me. haha I know it is hard to choose, but if you were me, which one would you choose? G7x MarkII with noisy sound or LX10 with shaking video. Thank you sooooooooooo much again!. Have a nice day:D
Go with the Canon for sure, it has the best stabilization I've ever tested on a camera that size. The Sony is a great camera but the battery life is not good, so you will have to buy a lot of them. The Panasonic LX10 is just not good, the stabilization is very bad. Im not married to any brand either, I own a Panasonic GH5, a Canon 70D and the Sony RX100 V right now. But to answer your question, if I had to choose a camera again, I would go with the Canon G7X MkII.
Hola. Te escribo en español, ya que sé que lo hablas. No se si eres de origen puertorriqueño. Me ha encantado la comparativa con las tres Camaras. Yo también soy un amante de la fotografía. En especial de la fotografía nocturna. Acabo de comprar una Lumix LX10. Bueno en europea se comercializa como Lumix LX15. La verdad que estoy contenta con la compra. Tus vídeos me han servido de mucho. Si te apetece y dispones de tiempo, me gustaría que me dieras tu opinión final entre las tres Camaras. Con cuál te quedarías? Sony, canon o Panasonic? Bueno, espero tu respuesta y un saludo desde Las Islas Canarias. España.
Saludos, me alegra que te haya gustado el video. Soy puertorriqueño y vivo en los Estados Unidos. Las tres cámaras de la comparación son buenísimas. Yo terminé por escoger la Sony por que era la mas que me convenía en cuanto a funciones. La LX10 fue la menos que me gustó personalmente pero no significa que sea mala, de hecho, mi cámara principal es una Panasonic GH5. La Sony tiene el mejor enfoque y el mejor "slow motion" el cual yo utilizo en mis videos, es por eso que escogí esa. La LX10 tiene mejor batería y prácticamente las mismas funciones. La Canon no tiene 4k, así que en lo personal, quedó descalificada. Tienes una de las mejores cámaras portátiles, quédate con esa.
canon - historically tilts towards the red - outside the sony has a better colour balance - the canon looks like it's in the center - the audio is more boomy on the canon - i like the audio from the LX10 - which did you choose?
Great video. Thanks. I've had the Sony RX100 iv for 18 months (which I love and make fantastic 4k family video), but I usually upgrade every 2 years so I've been looking for a comparison like this. Although the Canon looks great here, the lack of 4K rules it out for me. The difference in my family videos between 1080p and 4k is night and day. I thought the Panasonic might be my next one, but I'm underwhelmed by it in the test. Think I'll stick with my current camera. Question...what I really want in a compact that has image stabilisation in 4k mode? Is there one? My Sony phone has IS in 4K, but I can't find a compact camera that can do the same!
Hahaha yes, I've done some shooting but haven't had the time to put the videos together because of work and school. Ill be putting up more stuff during the week, stay tuned
Also I am starting to think about battery life. All of the features of the Sony are great, but a dead camera is a useless camera, and I do not want to carry around tons of batteries. LX10 is looking better but not sure.
Thanks for the video. I needed a comparison between these 3 models. I'm still doubting between the Sony and the Canon but I think the Canon would be better for me. Sony always seem to have such cool color temperatures... or maybe that's just me. On the other end, it focusses really fast and provides the sharpest video.
Great review thank you! I was going to get the LX10 until I saw your side by side. The Canon definitely is the winner in my eyes. I am mainly a photographer and low light is where I run into the most challenge. The color is great and image stabilization is better on the Canon...the color dynamic range on the Sony is better and the focus speed is better on the Sony. I dont do 4k videos so the LX4 is not a big deal for me.
Man! This is just the comparison review I was looking for! I've been torn over these 3 cameras and couldn't really decide either. However, after watching your review, I think the LX10 is out. The LX10's focus is like the LX100... it looks improved but still very shifty in low light. Image stabilization is also lacking. I had such high hopes for this camera too... G7X is great for the price but that focus noise is loud. RX100 is $300 more than the others but looks to be the best option. Good video!
So far the Nikon looks very promising on paper. But that being said, so did the Panasonic, and is falling behind against the others. I will buy the Nikon when it comes out and ill also do a review.
You can hear the Canon's audio in this video. I switched from camera to camera every 30 seconds. The audio is no terrible but its not the best. Out of all 3 Sony has the best audio.
Truly appreciate you doing this video!!!!! One of the BEST camera review!!! Made my decision easy. Also, Thank you for sharing that part in the beginning on Final Pro Cut! Awesome possum 🤝. Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈 to you and your family!!! From: DailyDoseOfMomTv
About the stabilisation for the LX10, i just found that information from the official website : * 5-Axis compensation works in video recording except for 4K video or high-speed video recording. High speed video is : 1920 x 1080 pixels, 30p (FHD: MP4) (Sensor Output is 120fps) maybe you used this capture mode for this review ?
Wow, thanks for checking that. That might explain why the Sony is now hands down the best compact. The Sony having the best stabilization for 1080p and the best pictures. That is enough for me to pick the Sony. I would love to have the touchscreen, but I don't love it that much. Plus once I set the settings, I am very highly unlikely to go back and change anything on a point and shoot. So the LX10 is out. GX7 is probably out to because I just do not want to pay for 2 year old technology, if they had a refresh by now I might be interested but the Sony RX100 V just came out. Mine as well get the latest and greatest when you are going to buy something.
The 5-Axis was turned on and the video was set to record at 1080p at 30fps (which should be the standard for every camera), the camera has a 120fps mode but that was off.
ONSADE from cannon to Sony which one would u pick and why? Btw ur video was very helpful! I love the color of cannon, but since I already own a cannon. Im thinking of the sony.. which I still need to learn about it. If you did a video of how to use or what to recommend to get certain type of pic or how to shoot RAW. Would be awesome!
Esmeralda Nava I would choose the Canon just because is a tank. The Sony is an excellent camera, probably the best pocket camera on the market right now, but it still has some flaws that are not present on the Canon. That being said, I will start posting videos soon of a bunch of tests ive done, reason why I haven’t been uploading lately is because of my work, im in the military :-/
Yes, once you learn how to adjust it, it performs great. I set the lens ring to adjust exposure, so whenever I get a dark scene I can adjust accordingly.
Can you do a Part 2 vlog? This time tweak the cameras to optimize them. Panasonic color needed adjusting and that might make it a contender. The slow auto focus of the canon vant be fixed. But other things may help. Maybe standardize all the white balances. Color warmth, etc
I will, a lot of people have been asking for it. Im currently deployed and wont be coming back home for a couple of months but I will get to it when I get back.
david valens it all depends on your needs. All 3 cameras are excellent but me personally I choose the Sony because I plan on doing slow motion with it. For vlogging purposes I would go with Canon because it adjusts brightness the best on your face.
That's so funny "I didn't know which one to buy, so I bought all three of them" hahaha
He must be a rich student Lol
Karl P He's obviously not a student because he didn't do his homework.
hahahha...
Please turn on the "Stabilization" of LX10!
Instablaster.
This is literally the best Camera comparison video I've ever seen, and I have been watching a lot lately! Thank you for this... it's really helping me make a decision.
It seems like Sony has the most realistic colors and very good focusing capabilities, but gets laggy when going from bright to dark settings.
The Canon is so good in dim settings, but its colors seem over saturated at times and doesn't do well with focusing changes.
Panasonic has great focusing and dim lighting abilities, but the colors seem unnatural at times and the stabilization doesn't seem to be its strong point.
Lots to consider.
Im glad it helped you :)
Great comment, really the 3 cameras have strengths and weaknesses, it is difficult to choose, it is depend on the purpose you have each. My question is: which one is better for photography?
This is the ultimate review I was looking for the longest time.. Thanks Bro.. Nice subscriber here.. Thumbs up..
Thank you! I made another video with the 3 cameras shooting at night, check that one out
You did a great job with your review. I guess the dream would be for a "next" generation Canon with 4K and good slow motion.
That would definitely be the perfect camera. And thank you, I appreciate it
I'd say a canon with 4k and a hot shoe for an add on EVF would be my ideal camera
I would prefer that Canon fix the slow focus problem before
It's that rapid reliable focus on the RX100 that wins it for me. The Canon is slow to focus and the LX10 not much better.
at 3:25 when he switched the cameras to the mirror, the sony seemed to focus much faster on his face. I dig it.
Indeed! :)
think this guy prefer the Canon, of course to which every individual have their respective opinion. Hats off for this review!!
Thanks!
I fell that Canon G7X M2 performance is better
The sound is horrible tho
M Ilyas how exactly?!? The AF alone of the Sony is much faster and accurate and not to mention that in 4k the IQ of the Sony can rival a mft sensor
The Sony does preform better, but the Sony is like $900 while the Canon is only about $500. Id go with the Canon.
isaac macdonald the sound isn't the issue put that fluffy thing that doesn't pick any noisy and windy sound, you'll be good to go.. I prefer it and it doesn't costs so much as the Sony... -__- I've seen other YT Vloggers that I always watch and check out they have n use the Canon G7X Mark II and the sound is perfectly fine plus the QUALITY looks damn good, i'll be getting it soon it'll be amazing!
name not important it’s because many of the UA-camrs doesn’t record on the camera but on a mic that’s connected to the pc so they can edit the voice recording in the film
Thanks for this comparison, best one i saw on youtube. helps making my decision
Thank you, im glad you liked it :)
This is a lot of work making this video for the audience. Totally underrated. I wish the channel grows. Thanks a lot for the effort! :)
Thank you so much. Since the time of this video I have learned a lot and will be posting better quality and more precise reviews for you guys.
Love the way you set up this comparison. How great to see all 3 performing live. Really appreciate this video, as I'm thinking about picking up one of these 3 for an upcoming trip.
Thank you, im glad it helps you decide.
Don't forget the ruler is flexible so the edge cameras have less stabilization.
Awesome review!. I would go with the Canon G7X ii which is made in Japan, has far superior quality, and much better Customer Support. The RX100 and the LX10 are made in China and the quality is very poor. Sony and Panasonic calibrate their cameras pretty much the same, as far as full Auto mode goes. Canon likes to calibrate theirs more on the cool side, for some reason. So, if you like how the video looks on the Sony and the Panasonic, you can set the WB (White balance) to the following. Set the mode to "P" (Programmed Automatic) and set the WB to A=3 and G=3. The WB is very important on how your video looks, setting it to warm, is a lot more appealing to the eye.
The Canon G7X II is a great camera. That would be my other option. I don't like how 4K works on the Sony, but I love how fast and accurate the AF is.
Panny uses a contrast based system where as Sony uses phase detection and eye autofocus..
I wanted to mention that all 3 cameras are great, they are the top 3 cameras on the market right now, meaning if price wasn't an issue and you want the absolute best, these cameras will perform better than the rest on the market.

One thing not mentioned is that the Panasonic shoots 4K in 15 minute segments without overheating whereas the Sony can only shot 4K for a maximum of 5 minutes before overheating and the Canon doe NOT shoot 4K.
Great point, Andrew, and this is a key differentiator for those who need to shoot in 4K.
4K is a con for me, it adds money to the camera for a feature I don't use (i'm a UA-cam guy.)
Mark Daniel what would you need 4k for? I want a cam purely for I travel, hikes, street photography and family vlogging. I usually share on IG. Do you think 4k is needed?
Sony does best job here, you can optionally buy the rubber grip for Sony. but the Panasonic and the canon gives more for the money. But if you want the best camera only Sony.
I liked the canon colors better. My eyes seemed glued to the canon the most, occasionally flicking to the sony, almost never to the lumi.
The canon G7x is the best
I love the way you set up your cameras for review. Really good information!
Thank you!
Incredible honest review, thanks a lot. I am considering one of these cameras. What would you choose for still photography?
Nikola Savic thank you so much! For stills, the Sony blows the other two out of the water. Check out my other video and you will see some stills comparisons in low light.

You can shoot raw and adjust the color on post, there are also some camera presets that adjust the colors when shooting. The picture quality is very good, almost dslr level, but you have to remember that a dslr is only as good as the lens you are shooting with, meaning you can have a Canon T3 Rebel with a $2000 lens and the picture quality will be amazing and you can also have a Canon 5D Mark IV with a $150 lens and have crappy pictures. The Sony is a compact point and shoot wit superb quality.
Yes, I am aware of that, firstly I wanted Sony a6300 or a5100 but realised I would spend much more to get decent lens (rx100 has that included), and the camera would not be compact at all, and that's the reason I don't bring my dslr with me at the first place. Thank you for the answers, you helped a lot!

canon's image stabilization looked better because it was attached at the center of the ruler and the other two cameras were at the ends so there was more movement there. but panasonic's stabilization was the worst. i think sony's stabilization is even better than the canon's.
Thats one of the things I took in consideration while doing this video. I moved the cameras and the results were still the same. I know the ruler looks flimsy but its actually solid hard. That ruler is from the early 90's lol
wow that is kind of antique :) but even if the ruler was totally inflexible, there would be more movement at the corners simply because they are away from the center. well i didn't see the part where you moved the cameras, i must have missed it :)
i think i will get rx100ii as it fits my needs , i am not a fan of annoying touchscreen, flipscreen or viewfinder or wifi, i just need good video recording. sony's color might be on the cold side, but it can be fixed in post with the click of a button, that can not be a factor for not buying this camera, only deal breaker for canon is auto focus is very bad
Thanks a lot for your time of making this video, it helps a lot in choosing which camera to choose. I decided to get the Canon G7X Mark II the best choice for me over the other two cameras.
Thanks! Im glad it helped you. The Canon is a great camera, I love it
the best comparison i‘ve ever seen please keep this theme’
Thanks! This was the kind of video I was always looking for myself, so I figured, if it doesn't exist, ill make it myself, glad it helped!
RACING! This review is still hepful in Dec 2018! Thanks.
Thanks! Glad it helped
The best camera comparison I've ever seen! I've been hasitating between those three cameras, and I've decided! Thank you!
Thanks, im glad it helped you make your desicion
Canon’s got the best light adjustment and stability, Sony’s got the best audio and focuses much faster, and stays focused, the Panasonic is just trash.
sadly to have it all in one you need his canon d70-80 dslr, its the size of the frame that matters, 35mm full frame like cinema is great
I did almost the same thing he did in that I use the Canon daily for work, but I bought the Panasonic and the Sony to use personally. After a year, I can tell you that I reach for the Panasonic 90% of the time. All three cameras are technological marvels and produce excellent results, but I prefer the feel of the Panny and it does not suffer overheating like the Sony, which was a major problem. Lastly, contrary to what I saw in this video, the Panasonic has slightly better low light performance than the other two. I don't know if he had a defective unit or a setting was off, but the Panny wins in low light. Also, the LX10 has by far the best display and menu system. When you factor in that the Panny cost ~$500 less than the Sony, it changes things quite a bit.
No. Sony has a flat look and Canon is overexposed, Panasonic is better
I own the Sony and Canon and both are great. The Sony's focus and picture is far more superior. The canon however has the better Image Stabilization which makes it pretty awesome too but strugles with focusing at times. The Canon G5X is another great camera too.
Sony's autofocus is fantastic! None of the other cameras I have ever tested even come close to it.
Great comparison! Sony rx100 v is quite expensive for me. Thus, I'm thinking of getting either sony rx100 IV or canon g7x mark II. Which one would u suggest btwn these two?
anis whd Thank you, I would go with the Canon, its a fantastic camera with excellent built quality. The problem with the sony is the battery life and overheating problems, which the Canon doesn't have.
I want the sony rx100 mark 5 with 40x or 30x zoom and the post focus from panasonic
Amazing review, balanced and well conducted. Appreciate the video, man
Garrett O. Thomas thanks!
Great review. This was so helpful as these were the three cameras I was trying to decide between. My DSLR is also the 70D. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
SUBBED! "If they suck I will tell you they suck." Awesome, exactly!
Thank you!
ONSADE i
Great video man! I just ordered a Panasonic G85 but I looked at all of these options as well. Great job mate =)
Thanks you, I really appreciate it
great video. which one would you suggest? Athens g7 is annoying g as you don't want a camera to blur but it seems to have trouble at times.
Sony and Canon are both great. I didn't like the Panasonic, it feel short in a few key areas that were important for me.
A brilliant idea for comparison of the three cameras under identical(very similar) conditions. Great job! :)
Thanks!
seems like something is wrong with the stabilization on the Panasonic, shouldn't shake that much. looking forward to a more in depth review please. the video functionality is important
Thanks for the visual comparison dude, super useful! Question: Do you think that sony’s in very fragile?
All of these cameras wouldn't survive a drop from waist height. The cameras feel solid but keep in mind these are very delicate electronics and lenses in them.
I thought this was a really good review of the 3 cameras I've been thinking of comparing! THANKS FOR THIS!!!
Thank you so much! Im glad you liked it
thank you for this video, i was waiting for this review on youtube. very good job! i would choose the sony.... let us know what you choose. keep up the good work
Thank you!
The Canon is way better! The other cameras give me motion sickness!!
tvlover81 lol way better? is not even close to the some. I had both G7x versions and the rx100 v blew them away. First the lens is of much higher quality with great shaprness across the frame wide open. then you 4k, hfr and much much faster AND accurate af unlike the Canon.
The rx100 is on a other level
4:42. As some one who used the g7x, my autofocus was like this too much to call this good performance
GREAT review! Best I've seen so far. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I'm looking at all three cameras for an upcoming trip, and this review was super-helpful. Which one did you end up going with?
Thank you, I'm glad it helped you. I went with the Sony RX100 V
Thanks for the comparison! Have you had any overheating issues when shooting 4k with Sony RX100V?
The camera does get hot when shooting 4K for prolonged times but so far I haven't had the camera fail me.
I have the rx100m3 and regarding the handling comfort, for these size of cameras, you seldom use them with one hand. When was the last time you use the LCD in shooting and never use 2-hands? I never buy the 3rd party adhesive grip because the camera looks cleaner without it.
Hola Racing, otra vez desde BsAs.. Quería preguntarte qué pensás con respecto a la Lumix lx100? Te parece que la lx10 es mejor que la 100? O vale más el sensor 4/3? Ahora la lx100 bajo de precio y creo que es más barata que la lx10. La Lx 10 parece menos sólida (aunque no la tuve en la mano). Abrazo y gracias, otra vez.
Ambas cámaras son bastante similares en cuanto a función pero la LX100 es mas grande y tiene el "hot shoe" mount para accesorios. La LX10 es superior en condiciones de poca luz pero no es por mucho la ventaja. Todo depende de que tan portátil quieras la cámara. La LX10 te cabe en el bolsillo del pantalón, la LX100 no, es mas grande y pesada.
GReat Comparison video! I'm trying to decide and your video is really helpful. Thanks!
Thanks! Im glad it helped
Between LX10 or RX100 m5,
What camera is better for someone whose looking for high qaulity photos for traveling. and Sometimes 4k video not for vlogging though.
I been looking up the cameras consistantly for 5 days and I can't decide which one is better choice since lx10 is 300 dollars cheaper. I just cant decide which one has better photo ability..
Quality picture is superb on the Sony, its more expensive but its a superior camera.
ONSADE Thank you!!
Id like to see a video about photos between these cameras as well.
your opinion is appreciated.
Sony is more expensive. its not a problem just want good images. :) thanks again.
Wow your review is the best i've ever seen so creative and effective to show the differences! Canon seems the best of them.
Nice video. Interesting comparison. It's always subjective. Different lighting conditions exposed relevant strengths for a specific camera. End of the day you really can't go wrong with any of these cameras. I think the Canon is great value for money overall. The RX100 V has 'ridiculous' phase detection focusing which is very avant garde.
Which did you end up with I bought the lx10 but Im having regrets, none of the aftermarket batteries fit so batteries are 40 usd. Also low light/focusing looks bad and Im thinking either G7X m2 or Rx100 m4 bc they are around same price online. Keep lx10 or get one of those other 2 for vlogging?
Nicholas Anderson if you will be doing vlogging, the Canon G7X Mark II is your best option. The camera is a tank and it performs great in low light.
what a great comparison.. thanks so much!
Thank you!
Thank you for this amazing comparison review! New subscriber here! 😊
Im glad you liked it. I haven't uploaded videos in a while because of my work, but I keep a close eye on the activity in my channel. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask
@@ONSADE Can you suggest which is better camera to choose between canon m6 and canon g7x mark ii. I have watched reviews but still have a struggle planning to do vlogs soon im a newbie in youtube.
@@ONSADE You are welcome, btw. I hope you would do more videos soon im looking forward to whatever it is you're gonna upload 😊
Great comparison! Any update on your pick for best overall vlogging camera from the 3?
Not yet, I'm doing in depth testing of the camera's right now and will put together a video to share it with you guys. Its taking me a while to do cause I'm on finals right now from school but I should have something this weekend
ONSADE legend. We purchased the LX10 today, got it home, had a play, watched your comparison then took it straight back for the G7x mk2!
Canon for sure!
was the video taken at 1080 for all three camera's? Or were you running at 4k on the P/S and 1080 on the Canon?
All three cameras were on 1080p and AUTO setting.
Prity good comparison regarding video quality I was wondering if you could provide comparison regarding still image quality. Do you have any idea in this regard?
Thank you, I also did a still image comparison on my next video, the one I shot during night time, go check it out
You didn't mention how long they record for (without stopping) so I would love to know that.
Great video man. I've been looking to replace my 60D and thought of these but I think these would be an addon and the price of $700+ seems like I might as well get a DSLR that does all this with another $1000 on top so I won't have to buy 2 cameras in the next few years. Below are sort of a videographer / photographers need going into the next 5 years and so far it's not to be found for anything under $3000.
- 4K for future proof
- 120 fps is sort of a must but not really. Software does wonders with even 30fps
- Great in low light is a plus
- Stabilization is a must (at least on a lens)
- Flip or even better Swivel screen is beautiful but I find I can manage if I hook up an unused LCD with HDMI cable and same goes for Audio. No one uses plain camera audio.
- Hot Shoe for flash is a must for photography. I'd hate to have 2 cameras (one for video and one for audio).
- Interchangeable lenses would be best for photo and video especially if you have them (I have Canon EF lenses)
The sony had the disturbing frame drop issues. That's a no no. From this list, Canon wins but still sucks.
How did you get around the clicking auto focus sound on the canon g7x mark 2?
Malia if you are in a quiet place where sound from the camera is likely to be picked up, I would turn off the continuous AF. For walking around while vlogging you can turn it on and you wont notice the sound.
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD COMPARISON
Thank you!
Sony RX100 V is the best in my opinion, good job, thank you
Oh god? tell me why u liked it!
Which one is the best for family shooting? Especially when you want to capture kids running around.
Sony RX100 V, it has lightning fast focus, something very useful when filming kids running around.
Thank you! I appreciate your prompt answer. Have a wonderful day!
Very good real life comparison. I'm about to buy one of these! Have you noticed the autofocus noise on the Canon? Incredible, wouldn't know about it if in another video a tester haven't explained it.
Thanks, im glad it helped. The Canon makes a slight noise when trying to auto focus, the only way you would notice it is if recording you're in total silence.You can adjust this feature in the menu, you can turn it on or off and you can also turn off the continuous autofocus to prevent this. Nothing out of the ordinary really, its a great camera.
I'm thinking about buying a camera, but it was helpful for me to compare the 3 models I'm thinking about.Thank you!
You're very welcome
Excellent comparison and in particular the demonstration of autofocus. The Sony seems to win that test hands down. How easy did you find it to navigate the menus? I have read that the Canon is very user friendly whereas the Sony requires a lot of diving deep into Menus? Once again great job.
For user interface I prefer the Canon. Everything is where you expect it to be. The Sony is a little bit more complicated but its just something to get used to. I really wish Sony would've put a touch screen on the camera
Hi. Thank you for your video. It helps me a lot!, BTW, Is it okay to buy a camera without 4k resolution??? NOW, 2018??? I am curious about your opinion. If you have time, could you answer my questions??? Thank you sooooooooooo much!
Hello, im glad the video helped you. 1080p works fine, it has it advantages, like better depth on field and better focusing in Canon cameras. Most of the videos you see on the cel phones are downgraded to 720p and 1080p, so you won't really take advantage of 4k for now. You can also record in 1080p and upscale to 4k in post. Some cameras record 1080p in a very high information format, so when its upscaled you can't even tell the difference. Some famous creators like Casey Neistat switched from 4k back to 1080p because you get better camera performance. Just make sure you get a good quality 1080p camera and you will be fine for years to come. Remember, its all about the story, not the gear ;)
Oh My God. Thank you so much for your quick and detailed answer. so sweet:)
Anyway, I agree with you that story point. haha but I am still confused about those cameras.
I was about to buying G7x Mark II because of your video and comment(tilt up/down display and COLOR! were great part. I am not good at color grading) but I found that there is noisy sound while focus moving… LX10 also bothers me because of stability while walking or moving on your video.
I want to make videos, filled with specific place’s vibe, so both are quite important for me. haha I know it is hard to choose, but if you were me, which one would you choose? G7x MarkII with noisy sound or LX10 with shaking video.
Thank you sooooooooooo much again!. Have a nice day:D
+Sony one is more expensive than I expected, so I want to know your choice between canon and Panasonic.:)
Go with the Canon for sure, it has the best stabilization I've ever tested on a camera that size. The Sony is a great camera but the battery life is not good, so you will have to buy a lot of them. The Panasonic LX10 is just not good, the stabilization is very bad. Im not married to any brand either, I own a Panasonic GH5, a Canon 70D and the Sony RX100 V right now. But to answer your question, if I had to choose a camera again, I would go with the Canon G7X MkII.
Ok I choose Canon. Haha Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I can't express how much I'm appreciated, because of my poor language skill. haha
Hola. Te escribo en español, ya que sé que lo hablas. No se si eres de origen puertorriqueño. Me ha encantado la comparativa con las tres Camaras. Yo también soy un amante de la fotografía. En especial de la fotografía nocturna. Acabo de comprar una Lumix LX10. Bueno en europea se comercializa como Lumix LX15. La verdad que estoy contenta con la compra. Tus vídeos me han servido de mucho. Si te apetece y dispones de tiempo, me gustaría que me dieras tu opinión final entre las tres Camaras. Con cuál te quedarías? Sony, canon o Panasonic?
Bueno, espero tu respuesta y un saludo desde Las Islas Canarias. España.
Saludos, me alegra que te haya gustado el video. Soy puertorriqueño y vivo en los Estados Unidos. Las tres cámaras de la comparación son buenísimas. Yo terminé por escoger la Sony por que era la mas que me convenía en cuanto a funciones. La LX10 fue la menos que me gustó personalmente pero no significa que sea mala, de hecho, mi cámara principal es una Panasonic GH5. La Sony tiene el mejor enfoque y el mejor "slow motion" el cual yo utilizo en mis videos, es por eso que escogí esa. La LX10 tiene mejor batería y prácticamente las mismas funciones. La Canon no tiene 4k, así que en lo personal, quedó descalificada. Tienes una de las mejores cámaras portátiles, quédate con esa.
canon - historically tilts towards the red - outside the sony has a better colour balance - the canon looks like it's in the center - the audio is more boomy on the canon - i like the audio from the LX10 - which did you choose?
Great video. Thanks. I've had the Sony RX100 iv for 18 months (which I love and make fantastic 4k family video), but I usually upgrade every 2 years so I've been looking for a comparison like this. Although the Canon looks great here, the lack of 4K rules it out for me. The difference in my family videos between 1080p and 4k is night and day. I thought the Panasonic might be my next one, but I'm underwhelmed by it in the test. Think I'll stick with my current camera. Question...what I really want in a compact that has image stabilisation in 4k mode? Is there one? My Sony phone has IS in 4K, but I can't find a compact camera that can do the same!
Thank you! As far as I know, there is no compact camera out there that uses IS in 4k yet.
GX7 all the way...
It has been a few days. Anything new? I am still torn between the GX7 Mark II, LX10 and RX100 V, What do you think?
Hahaha yes, I've done some shooting but haven't had the time to put the videos together because of work and school. Ill be putting up more stuff during the week, stay tuned
Whats your new insight? Which one is still your favorite? Should I go for the LX10, you still think GX7 is the best? Or you like Sony for sure?
Also I am starting to think about battery life. All of the features of the Sony are great, but a dead camera is a useless camera, and I do not want to carry around tons of batteries. LX10 is looking better but not sure.
Sony has the best audio, best stabilization, best colors and best low light. And also it focusing is WAY faster than Panasonic or Canon.:)
those jitters or lag on sony when he moves into different contrast of lighting is what gets me...
also sony seems sharper and more detail
Neo The One
EXACTLY
Neo The One I don't think so. Colors look better on canon and stabilization seems smoother
Were you watching the same video as everybody else?
Very good review and test.. all feature that I need to know about... Thank you
I appreciate it
Thanks for the video. I needed a comparison between these 3 models. I'm still doubting between the Sony and the Canon but I think the Canon would be better for me. Sony always seem to have such cool color temperatures... or maybe that's just me. On the other end, it focusses really fast and provides the sharpest video.
LX10 seems really jittery compared to the others. Did you tighten the mount enough?
I made sure it was. The stabilization system on the LX10 is not as good as the other two camera's. Canon wins on that aspect.
Great review thank you! I was going to get the LX10 until I saw your side by side. The Canon definitely is the winner in my eyes. I am mainly a photographer and low light is where I run into the most challenge. The color is great and image stabilization is better on the Canon...the color dynamic range on the Sony is better and the focus speed is better on the Sony. I dont do 4k videos so the LX4 is not a big deal for me.
Thank you!
Very good review! I really liked your video, man! Those are all good cameras but I think I'm going with the Canon :)
Thanks! Go with the Canon, you wont regret it.
@@ONSADE Yes! I bought the Canon this week!
Just bought a G7x ii as opposed to a DSLR, i hope the choice is worth it for a more portable camera! shame about the mic import.
Thats awesome, how are you liking the camera so far?
I was about buying the lx10, but thanks to this helpful video, i will change my mind
hal Op glad it helped!
keep in mind that sony is double the price of lx10
but not the g7x.... :)
Man! This is just the comparison review I was looking for! I've been torn over these 3 cameras and couldn't really decide either. However, after watching your review, I think the LX10 is out.
The LX10's focus is like the LX100... it looks improved but still very shifty in low light. Image stabilization is also lacking. I had such high hopes for this camera too...
G7X is great for the price but that focus noise is loud. RX100 is $300 more than the others but looks to be the best option.
Good video!
Thanks!
So far the Nikon looks very promising on paper. But that being said, so did the Panasonic, and is falling behind against the others. I will buy the Nikon when it comes out and ill also do a review.
Yep, the LX10 looked great on paper but the focus is really disappointing.
ONSADE which Nikon?
The Nikon DL 24-85
Do any of them have clean HDMI output to be used as a webcam?
thanks for sharing the test, it helped a lot in decision making. Really appreciate!!! Thank you!
Lebo Solar, glad it helped!
I think im gonna get the G7X even tho the autofocus is a bit slower. I hope the bad audio wont be an issue.. Thanks for the vid!
You can hear the Canon's audio in this video. I switched from camera to camera every 30 seconds. The audio is no terrible but its not the best. Out of all 3 Sony has the best audio.
This a great comparison video!
Thank you!
Truly appreciate you doing this video!!!!! One of the BEST camera review!!! Made my decision easy. Also, Thank you for sharing that part in the beginning on Final Pro Cut! Awesome possum 🤝. Happy New Year 🎆🎊🎈 to you and your family!!!
From: DailyDoseOfMomTv
Trudy Miller thank you so much. Im glad the video helped you, happy new year!
About the stabilisation for the LX10, i just found that information from the official website : * 5-Axis compensation works in video recording except for 4K video or high-speed video recording. High speed video is : 1920 x 1080 pixels, 30p (FHD: MP4) (Sensor Output is 120fps) maybe you used this capture mode for this review ?
Wow, thanks for checking that. That might explain why the Sony is now hands down the best compact. The Sony having the best stabilization for 1080p and the best pictures. That is enough for me to pick the Sony. I would love to have the touchscreen, but I don't love it that much. Plus once I set the settings, I am very highly unlikely to go back and change anything on a point and shoot. So the LX10 is out. GX7 is probably out to because I just do not want to pay for 2 year old technology, if they had a refresh by now I might be interested but the Sony RX100 V just came out. Mine as well get the latest and greatest when you are going to buy something.
The 5-Axis was turned on and the video was set to record at 1080p at 30fps (which should be the standard for every camera), the camera has a 120fps mode but that was off.
My Canon G7X II always produces too much red in the videos
, I hate that
thanks so so so much for this comparison. It is very helpful
You are very welcome!
For beginners and easy to use for travel which camera do u recommend ?
If you're asking about a pocket size camera, Canon G7X Mark II all the way.
ONSADE from cannon to Sony which one would u pick and why? Btw ur video was very helpful! I love the color of cannon, but since I already own a cannon. Im thinking of the sony.. which I still need to learn about it. If you did a video of how to use or what to recommend to get certain type of pic or how to shoot RAW. Would be awesome!
Esmeralda Nava I would choose the Canon just because is a tank. The Sony is an excellent camera, probably the best pocket camera on the market right now, but it still has some flaws that are not present on the Canon. That being said, I will start posting videos soon of a bunch of tests ive done, reason why I haven’t been uploading lately is because of my work, im in the military :-/
ONSADE what's tank? Thank u for replying :)) and can't wait to see more of ur video reviews! Also Thank you for ur service in ur great work ethic! ❤️
Esmeralda Nava thank you. Tank means is solid, well built, a very strong camera.
What stabilization LX10 have? Is this the 5-axis (like G80)??? Thank You in advance.
Correct, it has the 5-axis IS, but it did not performed well.
Thank You
Would you still recommend the Sony for a good vlogging camera????
Yes, once you learn how to adjust it, it performs great. I set the lens ring to adjust exposure, so whenever I get a dark scene I can adjust accordingly.
Can you do a Part 2 vlog? This time tweak the cameras to optimize them. Panasonic color needed adjusting and that might make it a contender. The slow auto focus of the canon vant be fixed. But other things may help. Maybe standardize all the white balances. Color warmth, etc
I will, a lot of people have been asking for it. Im currently deployed and wont be coming back home for a couple of months but I will get to it when I get back.
if you had to buy one which one would you keep?
david valens it all depends on your needs. All 3 cameras are excellent but me personally I choose the Sony because I plan on doing slow motion with it. For vlogging purposes I would go with Canon because it adjusts brightness the best on your face.
The Sony's AF is a winner. Good job on the video, thanks!
Thanks!
