    Great video and thanks again for the shout out! We are waiting on our refund and will be going with the Sony RX100 VII. It's a great camera. However it is pricey. Focus was never an issue so at this point we are willing to invest in it.

    Many thanks for your very honest review. I was about to buy the Canon G7xIII for my teenage daughter, but heard about the AF issue. Most testers I'm used to watch are telling this has been fixed. I'm glad I've seen your video. But now, I'm stuck. It looks almost funny to see that, in 2019, there is no camera able to offer : body stabilisation + flip up screen + external mic port + 50fps in FHD, + under 1000 USD. Well, there is one...which is crap because of its AF.

    Bought it, then returned it. Bought it again when they released the firmware update - returned it again. Agree with everything you said - 100%. Plus the whole “we’ll give you back 24p” situation... I’m 5 days into the RX100vii. Never been a fan of Sony files, but it’s a great camera. Really looking forward to your next video! Thanks for all the great tips & tricks!

      Oh man! I wondered if anyone ended up buying/ returning it twice. Hopefully all of those returns are a BIG signal to Canon to get it together. At least the 24p thing is cut and dry, so that update should work out well. So glad you're loving the RX100 though! I am THIS close to giving that one a try 😄Do you think the color and overall look of the Sony is that much different from Canon?

    I have found that will a bit of practice I have made the mark III work. The original focus mode holds focus better when stationary and the new one works better when I am moving around. The low light performance and 120fps do add a somethings to the conversation as well not to mention the small size and vastly improved audio via the external adaptor. I do think for the price point it is a good vlogging camera but it does require some work to use and I am still waiting for the 24p.

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому +1

      That's great to hear! Thanks for your input. Yes there are definitely some major PROS to this camera, and the low light performance is simply amazing. I'm sure the 24p will work out well too. Perhaps more AF firmware updates will come eventually- I remain hopeful!

      @@leaveittolay if you want focus you need to get used to pausing and using the tap to focus feature. Also ensure the firmware has been upgraded on the Mark iii so you get both auto focus mode and go with the slow auto focus mode the fast is annoying if it is struggling. If you want great auto focus go with Sony . Any of the canon cameras with dual pixel auto focus are good as well.

    I'm an experienced videographer, but only a prospective vlogger. Vlogging from my home studio/office will be a snap with my DSLR. However, so much vlogging content is on the go that I've been in search of a camera like the G7x. At this point, I've decided on using a iPhone 11 Pro Max for my on the go content. It's a kickass device with great features, and offers the added benefit of being always in my pocket. A BIG PLUS for me is that wherever I go, I can record without getting stares or complaints. Everyone has a phone camera, and nobody complains. I'll add one of those nifty Rode microphones like you have and I'll be good to go. Thanks for your great content!

    My favorite vlogging camera right now is my Galaxy S10+. Shoots 4K on front and back cameras, has dual pixel AF, has stabilization, has ultrawide, tele and wide shots, waterproof, and also has a microphone in for external audio. I can even edit and upload and share on the phone itself. It of course isn't going to replace an actual DSLR or even point & shot and yes I do miss that Canon color science, but I have it with me at all times.
    I still haven't found the right actual camera to vlog with. I saw the G7x 3 and wanted to look around for reviews and as I expected it wouldn't be the right camera to buy. =) Thanks for the review and updates!

    I am getting a G7X III to review soon and have used the RX100 II and recently the RX100 VII. I have been so happy with the VII overall but the investment is hefty. I couldnt believe I went without the flip up screen for so long but that in itself was so nice. I wanted to get a grasp on the G7X III issues before receiving the camera and this video was very helpful since I have very little Canon background at all. I am hoping the performance of the G7X III isnt as bad as it sounds because I own the RX100 VII but it'll be a great opportunity to do a comparison as I am not on the hook for anything close to retail price.

    Spot on review! We got this camera as our first proper vlogging camera. We still use it now, just because we went away, I fell over, accidentally smashed it into a brick (honestly an accident 😱) and now we can't return it 😨. So that is the first disaster of vlogging haha. We actually still use it because we can't find a camera and can't risk buying another one that will be wrong. Any slight movement and it goes out of focus. Thinking about the new M50 mark ii. Just wondering what you think? Seen some reviews and people are upset with Canon as it seems like just a firmware upgrade from the M50. (I'm going around in circles). I need it for vlogging, outdoors, indoors, low light. And for colour purpose I want to stick with Canon. Any advice would be superb 💜x

    Canon has indeed released a firmware update for this camera in December 2019, which had mainly to do with capturing movies.

    In a nutshell, with oldschool contrast AF ("sans DPAF") you need something like the face ID (from the mark 2) or it'll never be entirely sure what to focus on. This was clearly a prototype they rushed out to beat the Sony RX100 VII and is just cashing in on brand and model loyalty. Truth be told, my Galaxy S10 does a pretty good job for general vlogging, surprisingly well in low light. So that + a cheap gimbal seems like a really great option for casual video these days.

    So, I got the Sony Mark V. I'm really impressed with the crispness, and the background depth of field that I can achieve with it. I really like what I've seen on UA-cam of the Canon G7x II despite some of the autofocusing issues (which me being OCD would be using tap to focus anyway). I dont like the 4k on the Sony, it's too shaky and don't want a stabilizer to lug around. Would the canon G7x be the best bet to achieve that shallow depth of field for vlogging, while taking great photos like I can on the Sony?
    Thinking of swapping the two out.

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому

      Yes the Sony V is the sweet spot because it still has the 1.8 aperture. I'm glad you like it! The thing about the AF on the Mark iii is that tap to focus doesn't even work- like you I'm constantly half pressing the shutter and tapping on the Mark ii- which is fine. I'd say that as long as you're not in great need of perfect audio then yes the Mark ii will get you the best shallow depth while vlogging. I"m doing a FULL video comparing the best vlogging camera for 2020 soon so stay tuned my friend :)

It has the same issues with auto-focus however and not near as sharp in all light settings as the Cannon G7X.. but is is 4K..lol Wondering if I should jump on the auction for the Mark III at $565?!

    I’m frustrated because I just upgraded to the mkiii and when I do just sitting videos I feel like half the time I’m out of focus and I’m well lit and not really moving around. I had the OG and this feels terrible in comparison 😞 idk if anyone has found a workaround for just sitting talking UA-cam videos on the mkiii

    Fist let me say your hair and you look absolutely amazing! I too looked at dozens of G7X 3 test and review videos and share your disappointment. That two-step slow and slower autofocus is bizarre. I think it will be another significant wait for Canon to satisfy us. I’m sticking with a zoom audio recorder for challenging sound solutions. I assume you used your m50 and perfect lighting for this video. I think that M50 is a better bang for the buck right now. My 80D is not chopped liver and now I want a 90D. I also want a crew to carry all my stuff.
    This video was bit long at 12:27 but I could watch you all day. You’ve got a great voice and broadcast personality. Frankly you should be anchoring network news with a multi-million dollar contract. I’d put you in feature films too. I hope you and your wonderful family has a great Thanksgiving! I really hope we meet someday!

      Thank you! Yes I did use my M50 and studio lights, and I even blow-dried my hair (rare for this mom) 😃And yes this was definitely a RANT video lol. I love your external audio solution to sticking with the G7x II. It's great that you have the tech skills to pull that off. And seriously, they should rename them Mode Slow and Mode Slower. 😄I want a crew to carry my stuff too!! Or just a cameraman, forget the cameras. You would NOT want me in feature films because I can't actually ACT worth anything. I would just laugh the whole time if I had to be serious. But thank you for your kind words as usual Paul! I hope we get to meet someday too. Perhaps I'll head back out to Vidcon next year 👍🏼

    Hey I've been subbed to your channel ever since you made your first G7X mark III video's before this whole firmware update and we spoke back then. I was just about to pull the trigger on it tomorrow on black Friday before seeing this but I think I may hold off again. Anyways I also have the Canon M50 that I sometimes use for my channel here in NYC but prefer using my new GoPro Hero 8 Black in 4K! The only problem is it's not good in low light. And my Canon M50 with my 22mm low light lens is good but the cropped FOV and no IS in that lens really bothers me so once again I'm stuck. Anyways what lens were you using on your M50 in this video?

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому

      It's so frustrating isn't it!! I really wish the perfect camera existed.. I'm working on a new video really working thru each camera and each issue and how to maybe tackle them. I was looking at that 22mm but it does seem a bit close for vlogging.. I really wish Canon would make some new M mount lenses to choose from! I'm using the M50 kit lens for this video. I have 2 big softbox lights going so low light isn't an issue. Thanks for continuing to enjoy the channel!

    I don't have a G7X series camera Alicia, but I have a quick question for you... Does the G7X II or III have better stabilisation than the M50.. I'm avoiding filming with the M50 for walking Vlogs as it's so shaky even when set to stabilise video. Have experimented with Post stabilisation in VideoPad but the footage becomes very jello like.. Cheers, Greg..

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому +1

      YES, it definitely does. The stabilization is one of the best things about the G7x for vlogging. I tend to use my M50 more for the sit-down stuff now for this reason. I know that jello look that comes from stabilizing in post too... it's awful. It's so frustrating that we can't just have it all in one camera!! I think you'll enjoy a video I have coming soon- it's about a small, compact gimbal that can hold the M50. It just might be the perfect vlogging setup and it will certainly eliminate the shake. Stay tuned Greg!

    • @TheHuski
      @TheHuski 5 років тому

      Yeah will look forward to the Gimbal video for the M50, that's for sure... I have been doing some research and the DJI Ronin SC Mirrorless Gimbal seems a pretty good gimbal @ $569 (Australian) .. I'm sure there are some cheaper options and probably lighter as the Ronin SC weighs 1.1kg then add Camera and Mic its getting close to 2 kgs (4pounds), way too much to carry whilst vlogging!!!!

    Thanks for the review. I have been waiting to see the firmware update. Would love to know your opinion on external mics. Is it really important or can you really get away with the onboard mic with the G7X Mark II?

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому +2

      Yes, the external mics really are helpful. Not so much to capture amazing sound, but more to avoid the sound that comes from the camera. There is this slight grinding noise that can come from the Mk III when it's focusing or zooming, and you can hear it in the audio. The trick is to not let anyone talk until the shot is set up and don't zoom if the audio is important. Anytime you get that sound in your video you can just mute the clip and add music or voiceovers to that part.. depending on what you're creating. That's what I did anyway. Perhaps I'll make a whole video on this very question. Hope that helps! 😃

    • @AGrantAdventure
      @AGrantAdventure 5 років тому

      Thank you so much and a video would be awesome! I would love the get the mark III because of the external mic but if focus is still an issue, maybe the mark II. I love how small the camera is but also the quality of the sound is import. So hard to decide what to do, lol Love your work!!

  • @sandihester
    @sandihester 5 років тому

    Such good info! I'm doing the research now to buy in a couple of days and this was SO HELPFUL! I'm an artist and am filming mainly inside my house - would you say the G7x Mark II or the Canon M50 would be better for that kind of situation with lightning? Would love to know your thoughts!

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому +1

      Glad it was helpful! For indoors- unless you have killer lighting then I'd say the G7x thanks to the 1.8 aperture lens. Although if you are doing something in a studio type setting at home I highly suggest buying some soft box lights- which would make using the M50 just fine..

    Bummer!! But I was pretty much expecting those results, there's only so much a firmware update can improve upon if the problem is mostly hardware related. I'm still using the Mk II :) BTW are you using a teleprompter? If so is it the Parrot? I'm doing the research for one and thought maybe you might have a suggestion. Cheers!

    • @AMAETV
      @AMAETV  5 років тому

      Yep exactly. Firmware isn't magic! And yes I have the Parrot and love it! It's so simple. I only use it for super detailed scripted videos and I find I rarely actually read from it, just follow notes, although it can be super helpful if I'm in a hurry. Shoot me an email if you have more questions about it 😃
