Having bought a G9 for 70 euro, I am very happy with this video ;-) Sure I can go bigger and better with the camera's you discuss, but I don't want to carry the weight everyday.
@@GeorgeHolden For that money you don't think for long. Just did an hour walk with partly rain. Great to hide g9 under coat and still make some great shots
It absolutely FRUSTRATES me that Sony has not continued developing the RX line as there are many of us looking for a fixed lens camera with decent image quality, auto-focus and lens reach like the the RX1, 10, 100 to fill that massive hole between smartphone cameras and DSLR/ Mirrorless cameras. Lyca has been robbing banks and Wallets with the Q2/3 line and making sales despite the “made in Germany” price tag which Sony could counter with the RX 1
Thank you for your nice video and effort as always 😊 i Like to mention and add to the list, that the first A7 got also a very small body compared to the following ones. Paired with a small lens it is perfekt for street and travel.
I’d love a compact camera right now, something I can use as an EDC instead of always using my Sony A7iii or Fuji Xt3. I actually won a Canon G7 X when it was first released, loved it, apart from not having a viewfinder, it was that camera that got me into photography proper. Yes, I’d been taking snapshots on holidays, days out etc since I was about 8 but never got into it properly, mainly due to spending most of my time trying to stay alive, basically my kidneys failed completely when I was 14 back in February 1997 but I’m still going strong, albeit 4 Transplants later 😂
I own the RX1 and it is very special, kind of like a god amung the other gods of cameras. NX500 or NX1 or even nx300..(little lesser than nx500). Samsung nx line is just something like Sokrates that drank the poison and had to go. I still encourage you to try one. it is 28 mpx of fecken awesome sensor. Pancake lenses are one of the best out there, other 16-50 S or 50-150 S are treasures. I had this disregard toward samsung just on the same level as for sony. well, it wasn't fair, just sick. I only comment on your vids cuz youre unbiased and good watch. thanks
Have my G9 for a while now, really serving me well. Getting a Lumix LX5 now. UK prices are really soring for these compact cameras now. Insane. Choice was between X-E1 and LX5, but the ease of use and portability just made me choose LX5.
Hard to compare these two just on price alone. I've always liked the idea of the RX1, but not had the funds available for one. I owned a second hand fuji x10, but sold it due to just not using it and seeing the prices going up, I thought it's time to sell. So the camera cost me nothing for the years I owned it, in fact I sold it for £50 more than I paid for it to MPB. Since then the prices have continued to go up to a ridiculous level. Like most half decent compact cameras, the prices are crazy.
@@GeorgeHolden I found an olympus e-pl 5 for 35€ works perfectly,(only the shutter button is missing but i just rolled a small sticky note in it and works perfectly) and for the lens i bought a 25mm 7artisans.
RX1 absolutely stunning, especially since I love the 35mm focal length, but the price is absolutely fantastic for me, so unfortunately I'll have to settle for 35f2 on a full frame DSLR plus a Canon G12 =)

Very wise decision!

RX100 series, Panasonic LX10 or LX100, even the Panasonic TZ200 if you're okay with smaller aperture but longer reach.
Consider the Canon G5X mark II - larger sensor that the G9 but smaller than the RX1, faster lens, newer technology...

I've also been tempted by an LX5 recently, the LX line is one I'd love to see revamped at some point

Love your videos, you inspired me to get a M43 camera instead of using my phone camera 🫶
That's awesome, I hope you like your camera! Which did you choose?
@@GeorgeHolden I found an olympus e-pl 5 for 35€ works perfectly,(only the shutter button is missing but i just rolled a small sticky note in it and works perfectly) and for the lens i bought a 25mm 7artisans.
i just ordered the .75 lens for my G9, keen to see how it performs

I have a G10 and it's a nice camera but I still find it quite limiting in terms of image quality
A good alternative that I really like is a canon M200 with the canon EF-M 22mm f/2 lens macro! It was great on my trip to Mexico
great video!!
That is a great alternative, nice and small!
@@GeorgeHolden yess and the battery does last a good amount but if using flash a lot i recommend a extra battery!
I really like the G10 I have. I imagine it pretty similar to the G9. Thanks for the video!!
That's awesome, cheers Robert!
Nearly bought one recently but couldn't get past it being at least 9 years old for £1500 :(
No George please, I want to afford an RX1R before I die.
The RX1 is a good option for significantly cheaper on eBay, not sure the R or RII is worth the extra $$$
It's too late now
I've been loving how you end your videos lately. Just off with a link to another of your videos. Has it been paying off?
Some videos it can have a little bump in getting some extra views on another video, but mostly I just like doing it instead of saying bye awkwardly 😂
@@GeorgeHolden - love it. :)
Ridiculous comparison. A more realistic comparison would be the RX1 and Ricoh GRiii.
Panasonic Lumix LX7 review when? :P
This is a dangerous video
.. is this one here... Then you pointed into empty space..🤷♂️
Seems to appear for some people and not for others!
