      @KiinaSu 5 років тому +17

      Canon just has too many models where they always try to not cannibalize sales. Sony knows this Camera won't affect the A-Series sales, because nobody is trying to decide between an RX100 and A7 R IV. If all your cameras have something really unique you can put in features freely without worrying.

    • @jimstirling7223

      They give typically upgrades that make zero difference to 99% of the owners of the previous models. While maintaining the same old gotchas , poor battery life , dreadful ergonomics , poor touchscreen options. I speak as an owner of an RX100V & A7RIII .Can't disagree about your take on Canon :-) This is basically mobile phone marketing

      G7X Mark III autofocus is worst than my Mark I, I think Canon should fix it via firmware update

  • @Strideo1

    I wish they'd go back to the f/1.8 at wide angle to f/2.8 at telephoto aperture range. I'd rather have the bigger aperture than the extra zoom. 24mm-70mm was plenty of range for a compact walk around camera.

    Amazing camera for a pocket size. The only down side aside from the one you've pointed out: I find that there should be a bit more grip on the RX100 range, because although it's nice, small & compact, the slick smooth surface & finish makes it easy to drop/slip from your hand. I also know that a grip exists but that's at an additional expense. It could do with a simple little rubber hold or slight protruding grip to make it easier.... small complain though overall. Cool review Kai!

    I'm sort of smarting for buying the V a year and a bit ago; I'd assumed Sony had just taken a break. I'll keep my built-in ND filter and faster lens though. I'd be well pissed if I'd bought a VI though, as that's this but worse and Sony have changed they're release cadence.

    Would you recommend this over the Ricoh GR III? I'm having hard time to decide between this 2 for it's size.

      Sony if you need the video and can’t do without the versatility of a zoom, otherwise the Ricoh will take nicer stills.

    How would you compare the VII with the RX0II in terms of autofocus, image quality etc?
