Your videos are well done and always informative, but also keeps a lighthearted humerous tone without going overboard with it. You deserve far more followers! Great work as always.

please, can you recommend a camera up to €400 €600 used. I like to paint things that are far away, porteri concrete, the nature of animals, something that can navigate it

Hi! I have a question: could you eleborate in the SECAM system? I want to buy a Sony vx2000 from Japan, will I face any problems if I try to digitize the tapes via a tape converter?

Because of your channel I have ended up buying both an RX100 vii and a Nikon P1000 in the past 2 months! You are not good for my bank balance! As a side note I already had an RX100 ii and an RX1 from when I bought them when they were new around 10 years ago. Both cameras are still going strong. The RX100 ii with a full size flash on the hotshoe is a sight to behold! Back then at the time I wanted to take the best quality pictures of my new family so made the investment and I am so glad I did. Smartphones even to this day just do not compare. I have never felt the need to upgrade but with these new 2 additional cameras I thought I would get them while I can before they disappear forever. They may just be the last 2 cameras I ever buy. I’m from the UK but if I ever make it on holiday to New York I will be sure to visit the corner of 1st and 73rd to take a photo of the famous street signs! Anyway keep up the great videos, they are always an entertaining watch :) I really appreciate the effort you put into them. All the best.

You are terrific! Although Sony has a definition for focus speed in videos, I admire your reviews!

I love your content, but I must say: don't know about the 2500, but the 300 has an HDR effect (aside from built-in HDR), which limits you somewhat because of the fixed ISO400, but provides great results for blown out skies. :)

Great! There are some rumore about a new Sony RX 100 Mark VIII...I HOPE.

Sony super expensive until now.

Great comparison. I actually got a RX100 VII at the start of May because my sister's graduation is in July and we haven't had a family point and shoot cam since the mid to late 2000s and also I thought with some research it'd be the best entry into concert photography without hopefully having many issues with taking it to gigs and such. I do have a question though as you mentioned it causing 1080p and not 4k on other modes (on the canon), does the movie button work perfect on any mode for the Sony*? I always change the top dial to the movie one but probably lose time going from my default shutter priority to that. I've got some great shots in the last month with the RX100 VII too. A perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity to get some photos of Keanu Reeves playing with his band

In my country the Sony Rx100 vii is just short of $400usd more than the Canon G5x mkii at its original retail price, it only makes sense it has better autofocus and better imaging. Canon has better user experience, it has touch screen control, aperture ring at the front of the camera, an exposure dial and better feel/ grip. $400 more for better autofocus on a compact camera with only slightly better sharpness, is it really worth it in 2024😂 It does zoom to 200 mm but again is it worth it on a compact camera? Canon is never going to release another compact camera again, this is almost a known fact. The current ones they’re still selling will probably be discontinued in another couple of years. It’s looking like Canon is going towards the route of low end APSC like the R100 & R50 to replace their compact cameras.

Sony pics seem to pop a bit more, there is no comparison in video, Sony wins hands down. There is also more range and a much better auto-focus. The biggest issue with Sony is the price. It costs almost as much as a full frame A7C! I enjoyed the comparison, please keep them coming

I love your channel, when I was doing some research on what camera to buy for just documenting my life. I came to realize that camcorders are the BEST option for people who just want to hit record and not have to worry about anything. I ended up getting the Panasonic 981k and I absolutely love it. The image quality is great (if there Is enough light) and it easy to use.

Very goood video! Love this type of content.

Dude, again I must say that the content on your channel is exceptional. The quality of your videos, , the subject matter... They are very entertaining and useful. Thank you.BTW as usual some nice shoots there

I'm lost in choosing a camcorder, for you for a maximum budget of $700 what is the best 4K camcorder with minimum x32 zoom, for traveling, vlogging...? THANKS !

As a stock media videographer/photographer, removing the ND filter from the Sony camera was a major disappointment for me. Nevertheless a great comparison.

Hello, has anyone had or is having problems with the camera zoom?

I dont think we see a mark 8. I think the 1" sensor belongs to the ZV line now. I think we get a new RX something though with apsc or full frame just due to how popular Fuji X100 series is.

There will not be a mark 8

Mate, awesome video. I've just read that the P1000 will be discontinued. As a result I have gone out and purchased the Nikon and your video has provided great insight into the cameras capability.

I thoroughly enjoyed that, I may just buy one now 👍

Can you tell me how to change ISO in this?

Good comparison, thank you. I think the FZ300 is for me and it suits my budget for a bridge camera. I need to shop around now for the best deal, initial shopping comparisons show very little competition in pricing, are Panasonic and \ or retailers manipulating the prices here in the UK (would not be surprised if they were - we are regularly abused in this way). All of that said I have the option of looking at other cameras\suppliers.

The first handycam is more generous with features than most camcorders today

@9:30 Those are the seeds from a sweetgum tree, aka "barefoot killers". 😂

Thank you this was exactly the video i was looking for!

This was a great intro to some of the features of this camera.

I know photographers who live near me with this camera and it really has a hard time in low light filming birds. In wide open scenes it is on par with my current Lumix FZ1000ii. The Lumix is 200mm/8x shorter but at the price point 1/2 price too. With the extra money saved on the Lumix I purchased 3 nice high end ND Filters, a sweet Polarizer, Intervolometer, UV filter and additional batteries, a nice tripod and camera case plus cleaning kit. Even still had $400 left over compared to the RX10 Mk4. Have to admit the Phase detect is super compared to the contrast detect on the FZ1000ii. However, I will pass on this camera and go for a Used Canon 7D Mkii for $600 at an online retailer as well as a Sigma FF/EF mount 160/600mm Sport lens all around the same price much better quality🎉🎉

I also would like to know if you happen to have a video for the best accessories for this camera . I want to find the best options to make my 1st time experience better than I've ever Anticipated

I just bought the p950 and your video is very in depth of what to do and I greatly appreciate your video . I am a first time user of a camera like this and you have been helping me know what to do to get the best out of my new camera.

Your humour cracked me up 😂

Can you burn the video to dvd with these devices?

Have you used the mark 3 version of this camera at all, and if so how did it compare? I really want either the 3 or 4, but the 4 is just far too expensive for me, even used they are close to or exceeding £1000. The mark 3's are still very expensive too, but if I can find one for around £600 I'll probably go for it. I have a panasonic FZ2000 but I think I'm going to return it, viewing the images on a PC they just aren't as sharp as I expected which is a shame because it's so nice to use.

Here are my findings with the Nikon P1000 camera. I use this camera for search and rescue as well as recovery activities at 1 to 1.5 mile distances: 1) Use a heavy duty tripod. Set the tripod low with you sitting in a chair. Sitting in a chair will be better than standing, you need all the stability you can get. Wind speeds over 15mph are not going to help, and being low to the ground will help reduce the effects of wind speeds, or camera jitter. Such distances will take time to record, and sitting is going to make the experience more comfortable. This will allow lower shutter speeds resulting in lower ISO levels, reducing grain, allowing higher shutter speeds that will make the image sharp when heat waves are present. 2) Don't take photos, take videos. The knowledge of astronomical video is needed to understand why video works better than photographs. 3) At 1 mile (or greater) distances, you are going to have heat waves to deal with. This will occur at all times, and must be managed. Heat waves are what astronomical photographers must manage, it is a part of what they deal with always. 4) Moving through your video frame by frame, watching the undulations of the heat waves is going to help you find what parts are sharp, and what parts are out of focus. Image stacking will be needed if you wish to make an entire image in focus, but if you are just trying to identify objects at a mile, like fingers on a hand (human remains?) you will be fine. 5) Start the video and then adjust focus with the manual ring. The auto focus doesn't work at 1 mile or more. 6) If you need to zoom in to 5,000 times, switch the video (in your software) to green grayscale, and you will be amazed by how much detail you can see in the image. Green grayscale seems to cut through some type of diffusion happing in the blues & reds, it may be the wavelength of green that results in a sharper green grayscale. 7) The heatwaves need to be stopped, and in order to do this you will need to increase the shutter speed to 500+, the higher you go, the more the ISO will need to be increased. There comes a point when the ISO brings in so much grain that the clarity (not focus) is better at a lower ISO, but it depends on the object size you are trying to capture at 1 mile. Do you need to identify fingers? This is possible. 800 ISO with a shutter speed of 650 can achieve amazing results at a mile. 8) Set all vivid/custom adjustments as far as they will go: sharpness all the way up, contrast all the way up, intensity all the way up.

Such a pity ccd-v5000 range were not as well built with internal components. I have seen loads for sale as not working, have two myself both of which don’t work, I think it was the capacitors which leaked in these. Vx1e I have is fantastic

We are waiting for more zoom, like the Sony 400 has. The last has 50 times optical zoom. It's for birding.

I am almost 80 years old. I travel around the world often. I was carrying a Nikon D850 with long lenses for great wildlife shots. But, it just got crazy. In Norway, I tripped while carrying so much weight. Nothing broken or scratched, but never again. I bought a Lumix FZ 1000m2. I like a lot about it, but it is somewhat complicated to use-consistently. Anyway, Now, I am deciding which one to buy here. So far, for me its about the quality of the image and I am still favoring the Sony with its 600mm zoom. The negative is the Sony only shoots to F/4. The small Nikon sensor is a negative. Great comparison video. Thanks

Really good and helpful video! I'm looking for a camcorder with a nice wide angle lens and night vision (infrared) for investigative work. Considering the Panasonic WXF1 vs. Sony AX53. I like the Nightshot switch on the Sony's rather than digging into menus on the Panny. Wondering if anyone can give me a good comparison of these two regarding stabilization (hand-held most of the time), sharpness and quality of video, and infrared video performance. Thanks!!!

I have three AX53s the image stabilisation is the best out there! Just wished they brought out a 4k 60p with the same image stabilisation 😊

Do you know how to delete a photo or video on the basic memory? I can't get any SD card to work, so I'd need to keep the provided memory mainly empty. I only have the battery charger cable.

Thanks. I dug this out of the drawer, and you showed me the record button

Luv the comparisons you choose to investigate. Plus videos that don't put us to sleep. Many thanks!

Great comparison. Thank you

hey i just found an panasonic palmcorder iq pv-a396 but i cant find any content on internet about it expect for the manual plz if anyone here know anything about it and can help me reach out thanks yall

great video, I have the opportunity to get one of these, would be mainly for recording choir concerts where the lighting can often be low mid concert except for on the stage, do you think this would do the job? as it would free up my sony 6400 to take photos whilst camcorder does the video work

esta es la ultima handycam que lanzaron? o la ax53?

I love your video!

Thanks for the review. I have the AX700 and I haven't started to use it yet. You've inspired me to get it out of the box as I've been a bit scared of its features!
