I think it's an easy fix. The A7C II or A7Cr allow you to pick whatever lens you like using and have a far more compact carry and still get amazing AF and results.
Can't answer for guys who have money for many, many cameras, but my EDC camera is the only camera I own and use for whatever. I use Fujifilm X-E4 and it's my every day camera and my event photography camera and my studio camera. My camera comes with me 24/7.
You make a good point at the end, depending on what system and lenses you use, you can still treat your more modern camera as an EDC, instead of buying into a whole other camera. Youll get all the reliability and QOL stuff and honestly won't take up that much room. Like an A7CII or XT5 are both crazy small
Yeah. I ended up with a collection of film cameras. I can never decide which camera I’m taking with me. When I had one camera, that was never an issue.
I bought this camera because of your video, its become my everyday camera over my 6700 and Alpha 7 III. I take photos of mostly static subjects like abandoned buildings and scenery. Purchased it for $1700 and do not regret it one bit.
I had a Fuji X100F then an XE4, with the 28 f2.8 then 23 f2 lens, as an everyday camera because taking pictures with a phone doesn't suit my expectations. I could never get used to the Fuji autofocus system, my shots came a lot out of focus if I used continuous AF, even on static subjects. I ended up going with a Panasonic GX9 with the 12-32 kit lens, and this works for me!
The RX1 actually have crop, it's just the crop only work on JPEG sadly, use one of the custom button smart teleconverter, it'll switch to 50-70mm zoom after Each press.
A good point. I have my Mode Dial C1 option set to Jpeg and and the C1 button to clear image zoom - enables that 35-70 equivalent and the CI zoom images look good even when I pixel peep.
My everyday Cameras are Sony A7RIVA and A7RV, the last two years, I nearly always carry these two Cameras every where I go ! Fx today I went for a walk at the Harbour and through the small streets of my town, today i chose to bring a 21mm, a 35mm and a 110mm, I did not use the 21mm, I used most the 35mm, but some times I used the 110mm. I love to vare which Lenses I bring. Last year I visited a big city in an other country, I decided to go simple and light weight, so I took me 21mm and my 55mm, it was perfect ! The few times when the 55mm was not long enough, I just used APSC mode or cropped in post. I have only the very best prime Lenses, I prefer compact Lenses and I also like manual focus Lenses, I have 14, 21, 24, two 35, 55, 65, 85, 110, 135 and 500mm Lenses, so I can select for where, when and why.
Main camera is Sony A74 with 3 different lenses. Everyday and travel camera is a Fuji X-S20 with an 18-50 2.8 for day shooting and a 35mm 1.4 for night or low light shooting. That little Fuji became my favourite camera after Pentax, Nikon, Sony, Fuji cameras. Small, good grip, perfect battery life, after 3 firmware the focus is pretty good too and excellent video capability. I have a question too. Nepal or Vietnam?
My every day carry is the Sony A7CII with the Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar, but my main setup is the A7RIV with the Sigma 50mm f/1.2 Art. I find it hard to take just one body and lens with me. You are so correct about the decision fatigue. Most of the time I carry way too much gear.
Yes, I do have an EDC (Every Day Carry) camera - Leica X1. I bought this camera back in 2010 (less than a year from its launch). A Leica with APS-C sensor with 12 Megapixels and Leica Elmarit 24mm (equivalent to 36mm) f2.8 lens - delivering absolutely pin sharp images with ‘The Leica Look!’. Back then, this cost me £1400! Never ever regretted it, even today in 2024! There’s an old adage …. ‘Be happy with what you’ve got and work within its limitations - but, go and make images!’ Too many people today are ‘pixel chasing with ‘instant response’ cameras’! I’m now 72 year old photographer - but I still practice photography at the pace of a film camera from my back in the day, 40+ years ago! Yet, I still deliver exceptional images (good enough to be included in a presentation), more often than not but with envy from younger photographers! Indeed, fewer images but with some thoughtfulness (eg composition, subject matter, etc.) than 1000 taken on a 60 megapixel camera with continuous exposure shooting mode! Just saying ….! Very interesting video - lots of food for thought! Thanks!
I have 3 cameras, all are RX model, the RX100iii, RX10iv and then RX1R. I have the 100 3 years before the other cameras, it fell a couple times, the flash broke but still works. I bought the RX10 for the sheer flexibility of its lens And then the RX1R because I feel skittish about huyibg into Mirrorless, APS-C or full frame, because I fear buying lenses will be such a money sink for me no matter what. (I know myself). Been rocking the three for nearly 2 years now still didn't regret my choice as each cameras have their own use case which really doesnt overlap each other. The RX1R is my slow camera where I actually learn how to use camera the most. Back button focusing, manual focusing with oVF, using manual trigger, etc etc. It feels like a good old camera and I love it.
A7Cii with 24-50 2.8 is my EDC and it’s a dream HYBRID camera. If I know I’ll be shooting stills only, I’ll grab the Leica Q2. I have the GRiiiX but I never use it - not having an EVF is big deal for me apparently.
As an a7iii owner I absolutely needed an everyday camera and I bought the rx100v, the main factor was pocketability, not having to carry a bag for it and it does what it's supposed to do, I'm happy with it. The issue is I would still like a 3rd camera, somewhere in-between, with interchangeable lenses and a bigger sensor (APS-C or full frame) that I can easily toss in a bag/backpack when I carry one and not make it too heavy. For traveling I don't really like carrying the a7iii with all the gear every time and the rx100 sometimes isn't enough so I'm looking at something in between
I hear you on adding the RX100V to your A7iii. These are two different types of devices, with each providing it’s own experience. Joy of photography! For your 3rd in between camera you are looking to add, (APSC), are you looking to stay in Sony to share interchangeable lenses with your A7iii or go with something else? What are you going to do with your RX100V if you add the APSC camera?
Haha this is exactly the same kit I started my photography journey with! It’s a lightning quick lens and prior to the 3 G pancake lenses from the last 2 years it was practically the only small autofocus lens you could get for Sony full frame. I love the lens!
First off, I'm not a professional photographer. I have several older Canon cameras and am very familiar with the problem of having too much gear and struggling to make decisions, which is why I'm currently getting rid of some equipment. Back when my son was born, I got the RX100 Mark 3 as my "everyday camera," and even today, it's the one I often grab. It's small, compact, easy to toss in a bag without much thought, and it takes fantastic family photos for me. I would never want to part with my fast lenses, but depending on what you like to photograph, a compact "everyday camera" can definitely make sense.
Hi Pierre you can set back button focus by using AF/MF control hold on the AEL button, I believe. I could be wrong since it's been a while since I touched the RX1. You set the ring to MF and the C button to AF/MF toggle. You stay in MF by default and when you want to focus you press the AEL button.
Thank you! So I checked again and I can set Eye Focus on a custom button (still super helpful), but I can't find the way to have a button be AF ON and in the menu how to disable release with shutter. Any clue? :)
@@PierretlambertFrom what I can see the closest you can get is to assign "AF/MF control hold" to the AEL button. You can then half press and hold or toggle the AEL button depending on how you set it up. I would pick toggle. But where to assign EYE AF in this case, centre button? Do you use “STANDARD”?
I shoot the RX1R II and have for almost a decade. I recently picked up a Panasonic S9 for socials at work and it’s a great time saver. I don’t see myself moving away from the Sony anytime soon as my “take everywhere” camera though.
i'm with you here, i have a7iv and bought a fuji for a second cam.. for me it will not make your photography better, it would make it worse because you are not focusing on mastering your main camera hence It will only give you decision fatigue. i wish I would have bought a pancake lens instead. now I don't even touch the fuji and love my a7iv even more. planning to sell it.
damn very dissapointing ending to this video hahahah way to crush my dreams. I have 2 a7iv's and just picked up a zv-e1 but I still want an rx1r III (one day hahaha)
Something I’ll add is that creativity is not endless. With my EDC, I find myself taking pictures more because I have it in me always. However, I end up spending less time with my main camera working on more deliberate and meaningful photo projects because I’ve been shooting so much day to day. Since putting away my x100v, I’ve been picking up my big camera more and making better art. Just my experience…
I currently daily carry a pentax mx-1, I usually shoot aperture priority and exposure compensation and I absolutely love the camera. its pocket sized, really good lens for its size, and the colors right out of the camera are to die for. Only complaint is that the auto focus is pretty slow but its a 10 year old point and shoot so i wasn't expecting much
I just purchaced a everyday camera for $85. The Canon S100. So far I love that it's pocketable, can shoot in raw CR2. I'm trying to sell my A7r4 to get a smaller camera as I'm not shooting as much as I use to and is greatly over powered for being a hobbist. I love that the S100 is small and I can just pul it out and shoot something really quick without drawing attention to myself. Once I sell my A7r I'll be looking at the Fuji x100 series, leica d-lux8 or something simular in size for when I go on my honeymoon.
Consider the Panasonic S9 and the sigma 45mm.The real time LUTs plus lumix lab have saved me many many hours of editing. I have my RNI presets loaded in body so I have all the Fuji film sims plus more
I have the 2020 A7C and thought about getting the tiny 35mm, f2.8 Zeiss but that thing is expensive, (despite its age), and there is a competing 3rd party lens that tests every bit as sharp, is even smaller, and can be had for ~$160 like new on MPB (Samyang/Rokinon 35mm, f2.8). Does the Carl Zeiss badge on this lens and the other indescribables make this popular Zeiss 35mm worth the extra money?
@@Cthames123I bought it used many years ago so it wasn’t so expensive. Samyang 35 2.8 is great. Slower to focus but it depends on what you photograph. The results are not far away from Sony/Za
thanks so much for your honest opinion. i was debating to get one but no more. you make perfect sense. I will spend mu money on lenses instead of getting a compact/street camera.
I shoot with a canon r5 for work but live in a city that I wouldn’t want to take it around to shoot everyday but picked up a Ricoh griiix and it’s been in my pocket since I got it and it’s made photography fun again
You're spot on. I totally agree. I can pop my Zeiss 55mm on my A7Riii or A7iii and stroll all day. I don't have a problem using my Pixel 8pro for impromptu moments, and still get useable art. If my pockets were deeper, would I succumb to the marketing push for "everyday shooter"? Of course!! But it really isn't necessary for me.
When I want to do my best work, I have a complete Nikon setup and a complete Canon setup (with backup cameras for each). I will use one or the other or both depending upon exactly what I am doing. As far as an 'every day' camera, I don't really have one. I *do* have a vacation camera. It is a Canon 5D Mark II (and a Canon 5D Mark II infrared converted). So why a vacation camera? If it gets lost or stolen or dropped overboard into the Pacific Ocean or falls into a volcano.. No big deal, just go get another one (too bad about that card full of pictures, though). It takes great pictures and I don't need blazing focus speed because I don't do sports or street photography and I have some lenses that are fast focusing enough for wildlife. I watch this channel to learn more about street photography to see if I want to get involved and you have other really good photography tips too.
Hi Pierre, i always like the videos in Japan, always great variety. It's a shame about the Autofocus it's one function you want it to be quick not slow. My everyday camera is the Nikon D7500, i love it and i am happy with it's features. I photograph Planes and Birds and the Buffer is great on Continuous shooting mode. Autofocus is very good and works very well in low light. It has a tilt screen, and that's all i need as i take photos as a hobby and an enthusiast. Much appreciated for this video Pierre and your advice i really value. 😊
The Ricoh GRIIIx is my everday camera. I don't adore 40mm or 28mm, but it just fits in almost anything and when I want to relax and shoot I have it with me.
Thanks for sharing. The small size, image quality, jpeg engine, and minimal distortion from the 40mm ff equivalent lens makes the GRIIIx a great everyday camera. I’d love to experience it one day. There are a few knocks against it though. Tricky auto focus-Many recommend zone focusing. Whats this like? No EVF-LCD only way to frame a shot, eyeball exposure, or check focus. Is this manageable in bright sunlight? Fixed LCD- Can’t flip screen to frame low angles, or check if in focus if taking selfies. 40mm not great for selfies-hard to get self in shot and environment, forget about getting two people in the shot. How do you actually carry it? Do you have a case for it? Does it go into your pocket? Small bag on your shoulder?
My everyday camera is an iPhone 15 Pro. I shoot in raw, stopped down to -1. If I’m out with the 🐶 or I’m going on a trip I bring a Sony A7RIV with the 55mm Zeiss 🤩
My everyday camera is a Fujifim xpro3 with a SMC Takumar 24mmf3.5. I own other great lenses such as Fujifim 18mmf1.4 or Viltrox 27mmf1.2 but is with manual lenses I get the most fun such as TTArtisan 17mmf1.4 or Mitakon 35mmf0.95.
Very nice video and oh so true. I was also tempted to buy a EDC like the Fuji X100 series, but already have a Nikon Zf and Zfc so use these as every day camera. The Zf is FF, super AF, Image stabilization and allows me to use different 1.8 primes from 24-85, which gives more flexibility. So I cancelled my pre-order for the X100vi.
I would agree with you for the most part. But I have a Z8 which is massive compared to something like a zf. I still take my Z8 out whenever I can. But I wouldn't even think of taking it over the zf for everyday use, it's a no brainer. I think your issue lies more within having a fixed lens than your camera itself. I plan to slap my 50mm Voigtlander onto a zf and call it a day, but I'll never be restricted to just that on that camera. I think it's an easy choice to take something like a Z8 out for work, and the zf out for everyday use. I love the Z8 but it is the most cumbersome MILC I've ever used. And I've used of different ones across brands.
I have an RX1rM2 also. I really like the camera but also find the autofocusing a bit slow and quite noisy. It’s the noise that irritates me more than anything. Do you ring the same?
My pick up and go is Sony RX100 v, light, great fun and super range of capabilities. But not enough zoom for my favourite ‘lost in a woodland’ photography 😂
8:52 nah man, it just means some days when I wouldn't bother bringing the other bigger camera with lenses because of inconvenience, I will/can still bring my smaller everyday camera.
If money is not the issue you should pick the Leica Q3. All downturns of the Sony are solved with this camera. I love it. If I am travelling and I want to change lenses I use the Sony A7C II. The updated version is super great and super flexibel. I also love it. I have also an RX100 V and this is still really compact. I know that it is technically not possible but guess you would have such a compact format with a 35f2 and even if it would have just an APS-C sensor this would be a really everyday pocket camera. So for the 1.500 you paid and not the 4.000 you have to pay in Germany it is a nice camera.
great video. Personnally I take the sony A7CR as a everyday camera with a pancake lens like the 24mm f2.8 and if i want to shoot more instensively i change my lens for a 24-70mm and add a base plate on my camera for more grip. This is a good compromise in my opinion, what do you think ? 😄
My EDC is the 2020 A7C with the 24 mm, f2.8, G & 50 mm, f2.5, G Sony lenses. Wondering how you walk around everywhere with the relatively large 24-70mm zoom lens. Doesn't that lens ruin the compact aesthetic of the camera?
I use an A7C II with a 40mm 2.5 as my everyday camera. I'm considering buying a zoom lens that is compact and not super expensive. Anyone has any idea? 💡
But sometimes you don't want to have your very expensive camera kit (in my case also really heavy Z9) with you all the time. I often do roadtrips and the chance the camera will get stolen is - sometimes - very high. So my everyday camera is an old Sony A7 + 35mm 1.2 MF lens and it's awesome to give yourself the time it needs. I also got a Fuji X-T100 with the magical 23mm 1.4 and the film simulations are so much fun ... i don't need RAW and 45mp / 8k video in my free time. So I´m really happy with that set of cameras / systems and it was a good decision to have a real heavy workhorse like the Z9 just for work and much smaller and lighter bodies for hobby. Sadly Sony never had such a body in their portfolio ...
Hey Pierre! Your work Always inspired start my own photographic journey and in particular, i really love doing street photography but do you have like a permission to photograph Strangers and rhen post them online? Thank you so much! :D
….with my a7 c and a7 cII In the rucksack, happy on my motorbike in North Sumatra, Lake Toba, Borneo Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Vung Tau Vietnam, Siem Reap Cambodia, Laos everywhere….and place enough for Sony 20/1.8, Tamron 28200. Next camera, the a7c r, then I am happy in the lightening beautiful forests of Borneo to take pictures…..and place enough for a big bottle of water in the rucksack…..
Thanks for this m I’m still using the original rx1. Related to some complaints, to each their own, for me…No crop mode? Who cares. Cropping in camera is irrelevant. Colour science? if you edit, load some colour checker profiles if you want accurate. As much as I like the pop up, the tile of the add on is great, though it could fit tighter.
People, who watch this channel, are the full frame lobby, following their best "youtube creators" trying to buy the same equipment, to feel as they have a fun with that. Pierre can buy a few of them, you sometimes work really hard for ONE. Don't buy what it's TRENDING but what you need for YEARS. Seriously, people need to calm down with those popular trends, like we got a few months back with compact cameras, and Fuji X100VI and now, everybody is quiet (lol) Buy what you need, not what everybody does...
I don’t think “decision” fatigue is a thing having multiple cameras. If anything Sony is great to use professionally but it’s so boring to use. Using a Fuji sounds like it would be fun and not about the specs but just creates beautiful photos.
Did you miss the point of an everyday carry, or do you REALLY take your 70-200mm every time you go out the door? Shopping trip? Getting more gas? Driving to get your kid from school/club/friend's? You always grab your full gear? The point of an everyday carry is that it doesn't leave you. It lives in your pocket or handbag or purse or whatever you carry. It's always with you. The choice isn't "I wish I had my 70-200mm/2.8 instead of my everyday carry, why did I buy this?" It's between "I didn't take my 70-200mm/2.7 because it didn't fit into my pocket. I'm glad I brought my everyday carry, even if it isn't the best camera in existence." Unless you literally always carry your full photography gear with you, the argument of "too much choice" is a moot point.
I agree 100% with your sensibility of what an EDC should be! The giant zoom lens relation made isn't a good example and that would no way be apart of my everyday set up! But at the same time I can relate to how the EDC can be such a strong capable option with all things considered, (including portability) that it could contend with the notion of bringing it over a larger more capable in some way setup.
@@Cthames123 The point is that you can bring *both*. The everyday carry should stay in it's place regardless of if you bring your large gear or not. It's not "which one of these" it's either "EDC or nothing" or "EDC or both."
Leica Q2M - so it is admittedly somewhat of a special case everyday camera and there are times I consider whether a non-monochrome version is a better option. But then again I have that magic day and I am back to loving monochrome only. It is really nice to have a grab and go everyday camera.

Haha this is exactly the same kit I started my photography journey with! It’s a lightning quick lens and prior to the 3 G pancake lenses from the last 2 years it was practically the only small autofocus lens you could get for Sony full frame. I love the lens!
Same. That lens is massively underrated.
First off, I'm not a professional photographer. I have several older Canon cameras and am very familiar with the problem of having too much gear and struggling to make decisions, which is why I'm currently getting rid of some equipment.
Back when my son was born, I got the RX100 Mark 3 as my "everyday camera," and even today, it's the one I often grab. It's small, compact, easy to toss in a bag without much thought, and it takes fantastic family photos for me.
I would never want to part with my fast lenses, but depending on what you like to photograph, a compact "everyday camera" can definitely make sense.
Hi Pierre you can set back button focus by using AF/MF control hold on the AEL button, I believe. I could be wrong since it's been a while since I touched the RX1. You set the ring to MF and the C button to AF/MF toggle. You stay in MF by default and when you want to focus you press the AEL button.
Thank you! So I checked again and I can set Eye Focus on a custom button (still super helpful), but I can't find the way to have a button be AF ON and in the menu how to disable release with shutter. Any clue? :)
Great to hear it helped! Sadly I only have the mark 1 so not sure. Wish this one had eye focus 😔
@@PierretlambertFrom what I can see the closest you can get is to assign "AF/MF control hold" to the AEL button. You can then half press and hold or toggle the AEL button depending on how you set it up. I would pick toggle. But where to assign EYE AF in this case, centre button? Do you use “STANDARD”?
@@WatchmanNiel I assigned EYE AF in the bin button/c2 in my rx1r2
I have everyday camera but ended up using my main camera because last minute work happen a lot, best to carry my main camera all the time.
I shoot the RX1R II and have for almost a decade. I recently picked up a Panasonic S9 for socials at work and it’s a great time saver. I don’t see myself moving away from the Sony anytime soon as my “take everywhere” camera though.
How did you add that search icon in your text?
i'm with you here, i have a7iv and bought a fuji for a second cam.. for me it will not make your photography better, it would make it worse because you are not focusing on mastering your main camera hence It will only give you decision fatigue. i wish I would have bought a pancake lens instead. now I don't even touch the fuji and love my a7iv even more. planning to sell it.
NEW Rx1R CONTENT YESSSSSSSSSS
damn very dissapointing ending to this video hahahah way to crush my dreams. I have 2 a7iv's and just picked up a zv-e1 but I still want an rx1r III (one day hahaha)
Something I’ll add is that creativity is not endless. With my EDC, I find myself taking pictures more because I have it in me always. However, I end up spending less time with my main camera working on more deliberate and meaningful photo projects because I’ve been shooting so much day to day. Since putting away my x100v, I’ve been picking up my big camera more and making better art. Just my experience…
I currently daily carry a pentax mx-1, I usually shoot aperture priority and exposure compensation and I absolutely love the camera. its pocket sized, really good lens for its size, and the colors right out of the camera are to die for. Only complaint is that the auto focus is pretty slow but its a 10 year old point and shoot so i wasn't expecting much
I just purchaced a everyday camera for $85. The Canon S100. So far I love that it's pocketable, can shoot in raw CR2. I'm trying to sell my A7r4 to get a smaller camera as I'm not shooting as much as I use to and is greatly over powered for being a hobbist. I love that the S100 is small and I can just pul it out and shoot something really quick without drawing attention to myself. Once I sell my A7r I'll be looking at the Fuji x100 series, leica d-lux8 or something simular in size for when I go on my honeymoon.
Consider the Panasonic S9 and the sigma 45mm.The real time LUTs plus lumix lab have saved me many many hours of editing. I have my RNI presets loaded in body so I have all the Fuji film sims plus more
My everyday camera is Sony 7Cii (before it, 7C) with Sony Zeiss 35 2.8. Please post more images taken with your RX 1R ii
I have the 2020 A7C and thought about getting the tiny 35mm, f2.8 Zeiss but that thing is expensive, (despite its age), and there is a competing 3rd party lens that tests every bit as sharp, is even smaller, and can be had for ~$160 like new on MPB (Samyang/Rokinon 35mm, f2.8). Does the Carl Zeiss badge on this lens and the other indescribables make this popular Zeiss 35mm worth the extra money?
@@Cthames123I bought it used many years ago so it wasn’t so expensive. Samyang 35 2.8 is great. Slower to focus but it depends on what you photograph. The results are not far away from Sony/Za
thanks so much for your honest opinion. i was debating to get one but no more. you make perfect sense. I will spend mu money on lenses instead of getting a compact/street camera.
I shoot with a canon r5 for work but live in a city that I wouldn’t want to take it around to shoot everyday but picked up a Ricoh griiix and it’s been in my pocket since I got it and it’s made photography fun again
Great video and I agree with your everyday camera recommendation.
You're spot on. I totally agree. I can pop my Zeiss 55mm on my A7Riii or A7iii and stroll all day. I don't have a problem using my Pixel 8pro for impromptu moments, and still get useable art. If my pockets were deeper, would I succumb to the marketing push for "everyday shooter"? Of course!! But it really isn't necessary for me.
When I want to do my best work, I have a complete Nikon setup and a complete Canon setup (with backup cameras for each). I will use one or the other or both depending upon exactly what I am doing. As far as an 'every day' camera, I don't really have one. I *do* have a vacation camera. It is a Canon 5D Mark II (and a Canon 5D Mark II infrared converted). So why a vacation camera? If it gets lost or stolen or dropped overboard into the Pacific Ocean or falls into a volcano.. No big deal, just go get another one (too bad about that card full of pictures, though). It takes great pictures and I don't need blazing focus speed because I don't do sports or street photography and I have some lenses that are fast focusing enough for wildlife. I watch this channel to learn more about street photography to see if I want to get involved and you have other really good photography tips too.
Hi Pierre, i always like the videos in Japan, always great variety. It's a shame about the Autofocus it's one function you want it to be quick not slow. My everyday camera is the Nikon D7500, i love it and i am happy with it's features. I photograph Planes and Birds and the Buffer is great on Continuous shooting mode. Autofocus is very good and works very well in low light. It has a tilt screen, and that's all i need as i take photos as a hobby and an enthusiast. Much appreciated for this video Pierre and your advice i really value. 😊
I think you can reprogram the AEF button to back button focus ?
I don’t see the info for the New York workshop ?
Just picked up an Fuji X-E3 as an every day camera. My main rig is setup for mostly video and I don't want to take it every time i leave the house.
The Ricoh GRIIIx is my everday camera. I don't adore 40mm or 28mm, but it just fits in almost anything and when I want to relax and shoot I have it with me.
Thanks for sharing. The small size, image quality, jpeg engine, and minimal distortion from the 40mm ff equivalent lens makes the GRIIIx a great everyday camera. I’d love to experience it one day. There are a few knocks against it though.
Tricky auto focus-Many recommend zone focusing. Whats this like?
No EVF-LCD only way to frame a shot, eyeball exposure, or check focus. Is this manageable in bright sunlight?
Fixed LCD- Can’t flip screen to frame low angles, or check if in focus if taking selfies.
40mm not great for selfies-hard to get self in shot and environment, forget about getting two people in the shot.
How do you actually carry it? Do you have a case for it? Does it go into your pocket? Small bag on your shoulder?
My everyday camera is an iPhone 15 Pro. I shoot in raw, stopped down to -1. If I’m out with the 🐶 or I’m going on a trip I bring a Sony A7RIV with the 55mm Zeiss 🤩
My everyday camera is the first generation Fujifilm X100. It's slow and clunky, but I love it.
My everyday camera is a Fujifim xpro3 with a SMC Takumar 24mmf3.5. I own other great lenses such as Fujifim 18mmf1.4 or Viltrox 27mmf1.2 but is with manual lenses I get the most fun such as TTArtisan 17mmf1.4 or Mitakon 35mmf0.95.
Very nice video and oh so true. I was also tempted to buy a EDC like the Fuji X100 series, but already have a Nikon Zf and Zfc so use these as every day camera. The Zf is FF, super AF, Image stabilization and allows me to use different 1.8 primes from 24-85, which gives more flexibility. So I cancelled my pre-order for the X100vi.
I would agree with you for the most part. But I have a Z8 which is massive compared to something like a zf. I still take my Z8 out whenever I can. But I wouldn't even think of taking it over the zf for everyday use, it's a no brainer. I think your issue lies more within having a fixed lens than your camera itself. I plan to slap my 50mm Voigtlander onto a zf and call it a day, but I'll never be restricted to just that on that camera. I think it's an easy choice to take something like a Z8 out for work, and the zf out for everyday use. I love the Z8 but it is the most cumbersome MILC I've ever used. And I've used of different ones across brands.
I have an RX1rM2 also. I really like the camera but also find the autofocusing a bit slow and quite noisy. It’s the noise that irritates me more than anything. Do you ring the same?
My pick up and go is Sony RX100 v, light, great fun and super range of capabilities. But not enough zoom for my favourite ‘lost in a woodland’ photography 😂
I am looking to choose my everyday cam. I normally shoot sony a7rv, but i want an everyday one. Maybe nikon zf.
Great video I am sticking to my 1 camera I have 3 great lens I love so sticking to them I only take 2 out each time and still never change once out
Whats your one camera? What lenses do you use?
8:52 nah man, it just means some days when I wouldn't bother bringing the other bigger camera with lenses because of inconvenience, I will/can still bring my smaller everyday camera.
If money is not the issue you should pick the Leica Q3. All downturns of the Sony are solved with this camera. I love it. If I am travelling and I want to change lenses I use the Sony A7C II. The updated version is super great and super flexibel. I also love it. I have also an RX100 V and this is still really compact. I know that it is technically not possible but guess you would have such a compact format with a 35f2 and even if it would have just an APS-C sensor this would be a really everyday pocket camera. So for the 1.500 you paid and not the 4.000 you have to pay in Germany it is a nice camera.
Nice review , Please make videos on photography challenges again thanks
I change between my sony (main-cam) and some analog-cams, that keeps my photo-mojo flow.
My everyday camera is an A1 with my 24 1.4 or 50 1.2. I upgraded from my A73 and just love it so much I rarely use my a73😢
great video. Personnally I take the sony A7CR as a everyday camera with a pancake lens like the 24mm f2.8 and if i want to shoot more instensively i change my lens for a 24-70mm and add a base plate on my camera for more grip. This is a good compromise in my opinion, what do you think ? 😄
My EDC is the 2020 A7C with the 24 mm, f2.8, G & 50 mm, f2.5, G Sony lenses. Wondering how you walk around everywhere with the relatively large 24-70mm zoom lens. Doesn't that lens ruin the compact aesthetic of the camera?
@@Cthames123 i usually go out with a satchel so i can take my zoom lens otherwise i just keep the pancake lens
My EDC camera is Lumix G100 with 25mm f1.7 prime lens.
My everyday camera is nothing but I think my canon will arrive next week, I'm so excited for that!!!
And is 50mm f/1.8 good. Is it not to zoomed in?
I use an A7C II with a 40mm 2.5 as my everyday camera. I'm considering buying a zoom lens that is compact and not super expensive. Anyone has any idea? 💡
I have my Canon 6dmarkii. But just got a Fuji XT5 and enjoy its small lightweight footprint.
I like seeing RXR II on your channel
Hi Pierre, I recently acquired a Sony RX1R II after watching your previous video. Did you figure out how to setup Back Button Focus on it?
Maybe already mentioned, but autofocus on mine is a *lot* faster in C mode.
But sometimes you don't want to have your very expensive camera kit (in my case also really heavy Z9) with you all the time. I often do roadtrips and the chance the camera will get stolen is - sometimes - very high. So my everyday camera is an old Sony A7 + 35mm 1.2 MF lens and it's awesome to give yourself the time it needs. I also got a Fuji X-T100 with the magical 23mm 1.4 and the film simulations are so much fun ... i don't need RAW and 45mp / 8k video in my free time. So I´m really happy with that set of cameras / systems and it was a good decision to have a real heavy workhorse like the Z9 just for work and much smaller and lighter bodies for hobby. Sadly Sony never had such a body in their portfolio ...
Your course website doesn't load for me in both Firefox and Chrome. It fails with ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH :(
oh shoot really? Can you try again I think it was temporary :)
Hey Pierre! Your work Always inspired start my own photographic journey and in particular, i really love doing street photography but do you have like a permission to photograph Strangers and rhen post them online? Thank you so much! :D
….with my a7 c and a7 cII In the rucksack, happy on my motorbike in North Sumatra, Lake Toba, Borneo Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Vung Tau Vietnam, Siem Reap Cambodia, Laos everywhere….and place enough for Sony 20/1.8, Tamron 28200. Next camera, the a7c r, then I am happy in the lightening beautiful forests of Borneo to take pictures…..and place enough for a big bottle of water in the rucksack…..
Now its the Nikon ZF with the 40mm F2 - couldnt be happier...
Sony rx100 vii is always on my pocket
Thanks for this m I’m still using the original rx1. Related to some complaints, to each their own, for me…No crop mode? Who cares. Cropping in camera is irrelevant. Colour science? if you edit, load some colour checker profiles if you want accurate. As much as I like the pop up, the tile of the add on is great, though it could fit tighter.
A 7cii with 35mm f1.4 should beat the rxr hands down
yeah in terms of performance but compact-wise?
My every day camera is Ricoh GR3x. Very compact.
Today I have a Sony A7R3 and my everyday camera is also an Sony RX1R2
I carry a Sony A7R4 and a Leica M10M. 35, 40, 90, 100mm lenses..
Being so early here is really cool, nice production as always btw, just the start is really well made
People, who watch this channel, are the full frame lobby, following their best "youtube creators" trying to buy the same equipment, to feel as they have a fun with that.
Pierre can buy a few of them, you sometimes work really hard for ONE. Don't buy what it's TRENDING but what you need for YEARS.
Seriously, people need to calm down with those popular trends, like we got a few months back with compact cameras, and Fuji X100VI and now, everybody is quiet (lol)
Buy what you need, not what everybody does...
i hope this video would help to make rx1r ii price lower 😅
a6700 is my only and EDC
What kind of lenses do you pair with it for daily shooting?
Salut, chez moi c’est Fuji xE4 avec des optiques souvent vintage. The ultimate sleeper 👌😌👍,
Bonjour, Tu utilises quoi comme optiques sur le xe4 ?
@@philippedugout2278 XF27, XF35 1.4, XF 50 2,8, Canon FD50, FD100, Schneider-Kreuznar 27 et 135, Pentacon 135 2.8, Mitakon Speedmaster 2 35 f0.95…
My phone is my back-up every-day camera.
I sold my X100V to get a A7CII + 28mm F2, best decision ever. Main Camera A7IV
I don’t think “decision” fatigue is a thing having multiple cameras.
If anything Sony is great to use professionally but it’s so boring to use. Using a Fuji sounds like it would be fun and not about the specs but just creates beautiful photos.
i tried this camera twice ... and lead me buying EOS RP with 50mm 1.8 RF and 16mm 1.8 RF.
Lumix LX100 ii as an EDC. A bit slow but other than that, fun to shoot
Shouldn't the every day camera exist outside the realm of " Should I bring it with me?"
Did you miss the point of an everyday carry, or do you REALLY take your 70-200mm every time you go out the door? Shopping trip? Getting more gas? Driving to get your kid from school/club/friend's? You always grab your full gear?
The point of an everyday carry is that it doesn't leave you. It lives in your pocket or handbag or purse or whatever you carry. It's always with you.
The choice isn't "I wish I had my 70-200mm/2.8 instead of my everyday carry, why did I buy this?" It's between "I didn't take my 70-200mm/2.7 because it didn't fit into my pocket. I'm glad I brought my everyday carry, even if it isn't the best camera in existence."
Unless you literally always carry your full photography gear with you, the argument of "too much choice" is a moot point.
I agree 100% with your sensibility of what an EDC should be! The giant zoom lens relation made isn't a good example and that would no way be apart of my everyday set up! But at the same time I can relate to how the EDC can be such a strong capable option with all things considered, (including portability) that it could contend with the notion of bringing it over a larger more capable in some way setup.
@@Cthames123 The point is that you can bring *both*. The everyday carry should stay in it's place regardless of if you bring your large gear or not. It's not "which one of these" it's either "EDC or nothing" or "EDC or both."
Nothing wrong with technology dependency, but this is the result of it
The only sony camera that can compete with fuji x100vi hype.. but still no rumor about Rx100 iii yet. Don't waste your time sony, do it now
Leica Q2M - so it is admittedly somewhat of a special case everyday camera and there are times I consider whether a non-monochrome version is a better option. But then again I have that magic day and I am back to loving monochrome only. It is really nice to have a grab and go everyday camera.
I remember when you bought this
Fuji x100v
Men someone in ecuador sold it for 500 dollars
My everyday camera would be the Canon 80D, 90D.
Me who just got my a6700 as my first camera 😂😂😂
my everyday camera is a ricoh gxr
My EDC Camera is my iPhone and whatever Moment lens I have with me
Nice
My every day is a dslr.
"Can you please provide the link to change the menu language to English?"
I don't have a camera 😢
My everyday camera is a X100v, no issue with it.
Just use your phone for everyday camera lol
Just don’t buy Sony cameras
first i think
