IronFilm Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Been waiting for this for a long long time, it would be the perfect vlogging camera to have with me. Except for the price.... which is well over a thousand bucks: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1496248-REG/sony_dscrx100m7_b_cyber_shot_dsc_rx100_vii_digital.html Ah well never mind, I'll patiently sit and wait here and in another two or three years I'll pick one up for a bargain on eBay ?

Trek of Joy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Looks nice, but $1200 for a compact. Ouch. chris IronFilm and newfoundmass 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted July 25, 2019 Super Members Share Posted July 25, 2019 Seems great. Personally Im in the process of finding a decent deal on a used RX100v-a. This announcement might make that easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it'd overheat though, given I think the last RX100 could only record in 4K for a couple minutes before overheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrothersthre3 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah Sony really needs to start doing 4k 60p, even if its only 8 bit. That with their new focus tracking will make them king of the hill again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they update the processor, that video specs will remain the same. They have been using the same ISPs in the SoC since 2014 (Bionz X comes in a number of variants depending on the type of camera it is being used in), and video specs will be determined by that. My guess is that a9/a7SIII is when we will see a new processor. If not, then expect the video specs of those cameras to remain the same as well.

Mars Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hmm, the lens of the VII is the same as in the VI. Would prefer a 24-70 (not more than -105) but starting at 1.8, not 2.8 and going to 4.5 already at 35mm equivalent is a no-go. Maybe they improved on many aspects like the AF and IS but there is probably no in-built ND filter like in the VI. So at the first glance you think, great compact cam for filming but as usual with Sony, it shows only little attention to the details. For instance also the flash: what is that, why not a hot shoe? You offer a mic jack so why not the option to use the shoe as well to keep the package compact? This camera tries to be everything and is nothing at the end.... The biggest complaint is still the lens - I don't need 200mm for filming and the low light capabilities are crippled by the optics. Check also the AF hunting when you zoom in and out.. Ok, I see why they designed it that way (trying to beat smartphones) but I think I'll skip this one (again...). IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trek of Joy Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 One other thought - RIP the Nikon DL 18-50 - the greatest compact zoom never made. I was really excited about that one and it would have been an immediate buy, as sometimes when walking around 24mm just isn't wide enough. My walk around lens is usually a UWA zoom like the 16-35 or 10-18 on crop. Focus tracking, HLG, 90fps and a mic jack isn't enough to make me want this camera at this price - if it were $750 it might be a different story. I'd get the a6400 with the kit lens before this - or a used XT3 with the 18-55. Hopefully others find this desirable and the used mkV drops in price, don't want the slower 200mm lens for a pocket camera. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris You buy these cameras because they can fit in your pocket, something that cameras like the XT3 and a6400 are completely incapable of doing. There is some irony about people complaining about lack of 60p in 4K while on the other hand also complaining when cameras don't include a 24p mode Keep in mind that a lot of the older 4K panels out there can't decode 4k60p anyway, they need an external device to decode and input an HDMI signal from that.

newfoundmass Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Most people don't want 4K60 to output to 4K60, they want it for slow motion. Rinad Amir and MrSMW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntblowz Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I guess this is the main reason why G5xII doesnt have mic input while cheaper g7xiii have? Some sort of secret agreement between Canon and Sony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
