- Today Sony has announced the RX100 VII, which is the latest in its range of point-and-shoot, compact cameras. I've had a pre-release copy of this camera for about a week now and I've been very impressed so far. The addition of a mic input jack is going to be big news for some people, but there are many other features as well.
With the new RX100 VII, we have a new stacked CMOS sensor with DRAM configuration. A new Bionz X processor and frontend LSI. Refinements to this technology give us some incredible new features for both stills and video.
There are now 357 phase detection AF points covering about 68% of the image area. Focus acquisition is now 0.02 sec and the camera makes up to 60 focus calculations per second.
We now have 20fps, true blackout free shooting with no lag. There is a new single burst drive mode which allows you to get up to 90 frames per second raw or jpeg images in 7 shot bursts.
Sony has also introduced real time object tracking which is the technology we have in the A9, A6400 and now A7r IV cameras. Real time object tracking works in conjunction with both human Eye AF and animal Eye AF for one of the most accurate focusing systems I've used to date. Its incredible.
Video features have some major upgrades in the RX100 VII as well. We now have Eye AF in video, Active IS is now available in 4k movie mode, the aforementioned mic jack and the camera now embeds vertical position data recording.
Time limits for 4k video recording have been removed. Thermals in the camera seem to have improved. I was able to test a clip that lasted an entire hour before the battery died.
Also introduced is interval shooting for those who want to shoot time-lapse images!

The Art of Photography great video...but any chance of Photo Assignments making a comeback? I loved those! 👍🏽
HarvyDanger Films How good is the stabil tech VS a Gopro 8?

I know this channel isn’t as gear focused as other photo channels but I love your gear reviews. You offer a unique perspective on features and new capabilities.
Great review.
If you carry a number of batteries and forget which one is charged, use a Sharpie and number each battery and then just use them in numerical order. When you pull out the battery marked " Number 2", slide in Number 3.
Sounds as if you were sharing your military experience. I did that many years ago to quickly pull out a full jacket instead of an empty one.
Updated RX100VA with mic input, touch screen, better 4K stabilization and the new AF capabilities would be very nice.
Totally agree. I've been using the VA for underwater shooting since December and I love it for doing videos. Mostly on 1080 60fps but better stabilization in 4K and 60fps would definitely get one of those. And regarding the underwater subject, the color science for pictures isn't as good as the video for some reason. If anyone has any suggestions I'll be more than happy to hear them.
Great review!! I am glad I found your video. I am thoroughly sold and will go and get one to play with. Thanks!!
Your analysis covers all new inputs as well limitation the gadget has. I am really impressed the way you represent the review.
I'd like to say thanks for the videos because I saw your RX100 V video and bought your Sparrow rig and now am going to get this one
I agree with you, Ted. I'd rather have a little wider lens and some built-in ND filtering for video. Regardless, this new release looks pretty awesome.
Great review! Great camera! This is just the camera I have been waiting for traveling!! :-)
It’s amazing you will love it! Autofocus so fast! I’m still playing with it :)
Just placed my order . Thank you for the review.
Such a great little review. Totally agree about the lens and ND. I guess Sony have form when it comes to offering stills and video-centric versions, so you never know 👍
But I'll scratch my head if the photo-centric version has a mic jack or the video-centric version has a mic jack but no ND or 4k60.
Two versions would be so perfect!! I have the Rx100v. I want all the new features but I dont want to give up my 24-70 / 1.8-2.8
patience... Sony just wants to sell this one first a less attractive version (at least for many)... $)
I love watching your reviews and I am waiting for your review on 7R 4. I hope it is coming soon!
Nice review. I know this was a while ago but just have to say Sony’s technology is really impressive considering the small form factor. I have an RX100 V and am still blown away with it’s capabilities. Of course it’s not really surprising as I am old and still remember how amazed I was with the Sony Walkman when it came out.
thank you for explanation of great obscurity of 7 frames in 90 fps!
great overall review!
adorable camera!
may you please share how do you color grade s-log 3 in lumafusion?
Oh wow! Well, it seems as so many people are doing video and the compact body makes very appealing. Again we are living in very exciting times with technology and the possibilities are great. Coming from SLR then DSLR these compact cameras are great to carry around and the image quality is great. Thanks for loving Photography so much and share as well through your channel Mr. Ted Forbes!
Thanks for the heads up on this new RX 100, quick comparison with the Sony a6400's auto focus capabilities? This is a lot better than the a6400?
This looks like an incredible camera, but my one misgiving is the lens. Personally, I wish they would go back to the 24-70mm equiv. f/1.8-2.8, or maybe even copy the Canon G7X 24-120mm eqiv. f/1.8-2.8, because I value the light gathering capabilities of wider apertures when paired with a smaller sensor over how far I can zoom.
Michael Heath they might release a new VA like they did last time.
Technology keeps marching forward. Pretty impressive what they've stuffed into that camera.
Missed the 24-70lens on mark five, the wider aperture really means something
I hope we get it in the future gen
This is the best review on this camera I have seen to date.
Ted, thanks for such an informative review. Did you get a chance to try out the low light performance?
Thanks for really informative video, does this has clean HDMI out?
Can this be connected to an external monitor/recorder like a ninja v?
Your reviews are so informative without being too lengthy - thank you! I just watched this and your older video of the Panasonic GX85. I am a beginner and want a camera for hiking and travel. I shoot landscape and wildflowers. Between Sony RX100 M7 vs Panasonic GX85 with 12-32 and 45-150, what would you recommend?
A 24-120 1.8-2.8 lens, like the Canon G5X, would be very welcome on the next gen of this camera.
I agree about the battery issue :) Great review! Any tips for if I want a burier background for video when vlogging/selfie talking? It's an amazing camera, I still like it more than the ZV1 but I like want the instant background blur button haha
Outstanding review!
*Compactness is crucial for easy carry.* Better to carry extra batteries than make it bigger. Bigger would kill its usefulness for many users.
agree, especially the RX series has very clear audience here, which is portable yet no compromise.
Does it have the dynamic range of at least kodak Colorplus 200?
Wow! Sounds like an amazing point and shoot camera! Having two version of the camera would be great! The ND filters would be very nice to have! Thank you for the information!
I have a technical Q. Do you know if the EVF of this camera would transmit infrared light spectrum?
Great review, thanks Ted!
Is there a [Sunny Weather Mode] for the LCD brightness?
I love my rx 100v, great lens use it for landscape all the time.
Mike
Great video! Amazing to see at 3:07 that it behaves exactly like the A9! I also agree that they should offer multiple versions of that camera, one for video bloggers, with an 18-50mm lens for example. Both cameras would be popular, I'd think.
But where do you mount your mic on to? This camera with the old faster lens and the nd filter and I would upgrade from my mk va
I have the RX 100 V and have been waiting for the 100 series to have the mic input. But then I was thinking the a6400. Which one should I get? Anyone have thoughts?
Does the feature of eye AF work with high FPS video recording?
Would like to know more about the 4k HDR video quality. Thanks
Good review! Thanks. I got the IV and will get the VII for sure.
Thank you so much for your nice video, I have two questions i always use Rx100 mark 5 I just love it , i have two questions can i get a good bouquet effect in photography and in video filming either mark 5 or 7 thank you again
what is the filter size can you put pol or nd filters on the lens?
Still on the RX100M2 and with each new version there's always been something missing/taken away to stop me from upgrading. This time it's definitely the price. 😁📸
I’m sticking to the Mark 5A because of the built in ND filter. Any thought why Sony took it off from M6 and M7, especially the lens isn’t threaded?
is it possible to mount an external nd filter?
I wonder if the MagFilter adapters would work for an external ND.
Hi, what microphone are you using for this video? You are awesomely clear! Do you have a special setup to get such great quality? Thanks.
Very informative.
I've been waiting for this to get a mic jack, its why I haven't got one till now -- and I agree about 2 versions, id prefer to have both
I started watching your channel Researching the Rx100iv ...seems like ages ago..😌
#1 reason i stayed with the V was the lens. would imediately get the VII if it had the lens of the V. I use my 10 IV for telephoto.
Ti Kauth same here!!!!!!
I want one with better lens it’s on 5 version? Going to look in now
Rather lens then mic jack I can record sound separately pretty easy
@@MarsKvaratskhelia The V has a 24-70 1.8-2.8 lens w/ built in ND filter. but only 5 minute 4k30p or fhd120p recording time and no video realtime eye tracking, just face.
Bro can u tel me what iso is best to take pictures
how many seconds can record in 120fps? is there any limit
what sd card to use to have no lags , probbaly those budget sd cards will lag
hi i have a question. is there a PAUSE button somewhere in the sony rx100 M7 camera during movie recording. I can't find it and tech support doesn't know either.
Close to two years later......
Rumor has it that you might get your two versions......
Greetings from Sweden.
For real? Where did you heard/read that rumor please?
So I'm commenting here three years later. Hope I'm not too late to the party. 😂 And - I've finally ordered an RX100vii, in "like new minus" condition from KEH. After years of wanting one, as a step up from my good old RX100iii. As I wait for it to be delivered I'm browsing through the knowledge base on the internet. THANK YOU for this excellent overview. It's stood the test of time and has been very informative.
Just got my RX100vii. Four years late! 😁
Stuid questoion if you read this even :) For "walk around, point and shoot" style of photography will you rather choose a smartphone or such small camera?
I'm thinking about selling my Pentax K50 and either buing small point and shoot or smartphone with good camera. For photos I really wanna make, I use analog camera and I have all needed lenses for it, so I'm using currently mostly smartphone for weekend or vacation shooting and big, bulky Pentax is gathering dust.
Thanks Ted! You are right, the thing holding me back from getting the RX100 VI is the 5-minute video recording limit. I'll get the VII if it can record 15 minutes or longer.
How do you get a blurry background on this camera while vlogging? Plz help. I want it to focus on me when I’m talking, while simultaneously my background is continuously blurry. Thanks in advance to whomever can give some tips.
What a fantastic review! You get ***** stars! I've seen a lot of reviews and some of them have been super pro and others more heartfelt. I like your tone, straightforward info, guidance etc. WOW! Anyway, upshot is I am getting my new camera tomorrow!!!! Doing a little camera dance on the spot here in England. Brilliant video, I wondered how you shot it? With VII or something else? All the best, I will keep watching.
Something I haven't read is the actual sensor readout speed. Is it as fast as the A9 so you can go electronic shutter for panning and in difficult lighting?
And totally second a 24-70 1.8/2.8 with ND version. I'd really love a 28-70 f1.8 constant without ND and a filter attachment. That would be the Vlogging king.
Nice camera, it is unfortunate I cannot afford it. Thank you for another good video.
Very informative ...subbed..thanx..I still own my Sony RX100Va and i'm very happy with..(it has the ND-filter)..but think i'm going for a bigger Sony camera..have to choose between the A6600 and a A7iii,..which one would you advice?I use it maintainely for photo's..not video..(sometimes.. :)
The two versions idea is gold!!
Thank you for that great review. I hope Sony are listening to your suggestion of two versions with two lenses. I’m still on the MkIII, but one day soon I’m moving up to something else. This would be great, but I really need that ND filter.
can i plug in the hdmi and stream it at the same time.
perfect review perfect camera...... god job....
Label your batteries 1,2 3, 4, etc.....use them in that order.
New CPU, might last longer than usual. a6300 and a6400 have same battery but better new CPU like in this case so battery lasts longer.
Thanks for the tip.
@@KrunoslavStifter That would be nice if true. Have yet to see the spec's of the new RX. However, that BX battery is a dog.
@@KrunoslavStifter Doesn't the a6300 and a6400 use the FW50 battery? This new RX uses the BX
@@SteveMillerhuntingforfood Yeah. I'm making an educated guess, I haven't tried it yet myself. But they seem to have introduced new CPU that produces less heat and uses up less battery. It also is more powerful so it can do real time tracking etc. They introduced that new CPU into a6400 and even if it had same FW50 battery as a6300 and a6500 the heat was not as much of a problem and the battery lasted longer. Same battery. They did the same with the new a7RIV, new new CPU and other tech. Now in RX100VII. You have seen the test for overheating so I'm guessing that is indicator it will also be more efficient with battery drainage. Maybe instead of 1h of 1080p video we get 2h. That seems to be the ratio from a6400 vs a6300 about double the battery life not by adding bigger battery but by being less power hungry.
Very nice camera review as usual Ted - and you're right it sur is a beast for it's price and size.
I keep hearing that many of the newer cameras have ND filters included. How do they compare with physical ND filters when you use them for still photography? - Maybe you can make a podcast comparing the ND filters from different manufacturers vs the physical ones...
Thanks for sharing your expertise Ted!
My bug question is does it over heat like the 4&5 did?
Adding this to my wish list
Just attach a filter adapter, voila problem solved. Less dust problems too, probably will save you from having the camera lens-curtain serviced down the line.
amazing review, i bought rx100va last month with f1.8 24-70, nd filter and no active steadyshot at 4k, no mic input port and i hope a new update firrmware for rx100va...
im so pumped ... 6pm pre order can't come soon enough
Are there any 3rd party ND filters that would work with this?
Is the mic jack stereo or mono? I do a lot of stereo music recording, and would love to record direct into the camera and leave my Zoom recorders behind.
Mark Rossmore mic is always mono
SONY PLEASE RELEASE A 24-70 1.8 VERSION WITH AN ND FILTER!! PLLLLLEEEEEAAASEEEEE
Hasn't it had ND filters since mark III?
Luke Wells the rx doesn’t have them any more
I want the f1.8 version too! Still using my RX100iv.
Agreed 👍👍👍
The last and best of the serie with ND-filter: SONY RX100VA = RX100M5A. VA: It's the better V
How does it preform in low light situations, have you used it to photo the moon?
Absolutely agree! I'd much prefer f/1.8 24-70mm with ND filter.
Any improvements on the high speed video? 480 , 1000. On the V 480,1000 video gets pretty poor. Some specs say 1920 but Quality and Time quote substancialy lower resolutions. does it mean that it interpolates the video up to Full HD? Is high speed video on vll better?
Does this have that same or similar 1/2” sensor that’s in that superzoom Sony camera?
1 inch
I guess this is why there has been radio silence on the release of the Canon G7X iii. I couldn't figure out why none of the top channels were saying anything.
RX100 Mark Vii, I want to buy for photography when I am traveling. I know it is expensive but how is the low light quality for photos?
When do you think the 7 will be coming out. Also is there a better compact in your opinion.
Two versions is the way to go. Waiting on the full review.
I like the lens on the older cameras better. I still use the rx100iii, the touchscreen on the rx100vi would have been nice in the rx100va. It’s a pity they didn’t call this range the rx200 series and keep the rx100 series how it was from mark iii to mark v.
WHY WHY WHY did they put the mic jack on the grip side of the camera???
that 5 min limit alone not being there is the biggest thing that will make me consider this camera!
what panasonic you mention in 7:26 ?
Nice video! If you don't mind a camera to be slightly bigger, would it be wiser to pick the a6400 ($1K) instead of VII ($1.2K) which beats VII in every department for $200 less?
Since RX100 mark 7 is no longer available in most markets, what is the camera you recommend that has Same capability or even surpass it ?
I think you’re spot on with your thoughts of the camera!
I still have the mark4 and it’s completely beat to S**t . I’ve used it for everything from traveling to even using it at weddings... the back screen no longer works and I can only see out of the view finder 🤦♂️. Needless to say I need a new one lol . I don’t know to try and get it fixed or upgrade? And which do I upgrade too? Because honestly I’m not a fan of the longer lens and no Nd filter👎.
What would you do?
Take it to a repair shop in Manhattan on 37th and 8th.
Ted, have you had a chance to play with the new Canon G5X ii? I know you liked the original and I'm very interested to get your take on the new version that looks much more like the Sony RX100 series. My only disappointment is the pop up evf.. thoughts?
Camera of my dreams! 📷 😍😍😍
Is this the same specs with DSLRs?
Hi🙋🏼♂️, questions regarding sd card. I'm buying this camera. How about the card, v30-v60-v90 which should i buy and put in RX 100 m7 for maximum exploitation of 4k etc? What can the camera max "handle", which is the best card to this cam.? thanks
Does the 4k crop?
Can you post your camera settings for this video?.
