Best Travel Camera Under $150? Sony RX100 Quick Review 

I bought this camera today and you are really giving me hype. Awesome vid.

Just bought the Sony RX100 MK3 and after this video I am now hyped about taking this on holiday to take some epic shorts of the Norwegian Fjords.

Great video and very nice photographs. I still have my RX100 MK1, which I bought roughly at the time when the MKII came out and as a result the prices for the MKI became a bit more reasonable. I considered upgrading to a newer version mainly because of the EVF, but the MK1 is still a great camera and it is also a bit smaller than the newer iterations. Plus the prices for the newest versions are IMHO ridiculously high with the MKVII costing twice as much as the MKI when it came out.

I have rx100 iii. 2024 and he is still great.

Awesome shots and I love your dry sense of humor in the voiceover lol good video!

Cool stuff, thanks for the inspiration! I just bought an unused RX100 Mk2 for 120 bucks and its a blast! I was still thinking of limiting myself to a phone camera as they've come a long way and I need a new phone, but the RX is just so much fun and comes along just as easily and keeps me in a more "photographer" mindset when I'm out and about. It comes out of the pocket way more often than a phone camera, and I can pretty much trust that if I put in the work it can give these kind of quality results in most situations.

I just bought a first generation one for hardly anything as it was sold without a charger, but it looks almost immaculate and the SD card left inside shows careful ownership and comfortable, responsible middle-class life and a truly careful lady owner. I love the size and the finish of it already. This is a truly portable, maybe even pocketable camera that you could actually take on a trip with you or have around at family gatherings, unlike a larger camera, which transforms any trip into a photographic mission, dominating the travel experience (at least in my opinion). I’m still waiting for my cheap extra battery and charger, but ai have no reason to doubt that the camera will be amazing. I’d get a screen protector, though. They look very easy to scratch or damage.

I really enjoyed the sample images to contextualize the quality and expectations of the camera! Travel is my primary passion (and the main driver behind my financial journey) so learning about the best ways to capture moments on the road is always great. Really nice video, can't wait to see more, just subscribed!

Bought a rx100m1 5yrs ago for $140. This week I walked into a pawn shop simply to look at their $2 Blu-ray movies. Noticed a fimilar rx100m5 in their case. Ended up getting it for $190 plus tax so $210 out the door. My Dad bought my perfect condition M1 for $100. Loving the 4K and AF. My RX10m3 has even less use now.

The best, by far, video review on the sony rx100. And I think I have seen them all. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome review, very useful to judge a camara so may years after it was released

I was a bit sceptical after placing an order for RX100 M3. Now after watching your honest review, I feel more confident with my decision 😍.

Enjoyed the video. I have a RX100 VII and a ZV1m1. Wonderful tools in tiny packages. Very handy for packing light for travel or for my paid side gig in church AV. These cameras do great for stills, video, and clean HDMI to live stream gear. They're much better than what they were marketed for.

Amazing review. Much more informative than the 'normal, stuff on RU-vid.

Great video! So impressed with the RX100m1.

My biggest problem with the RX100 is the dust ingress. My RX100 collect dust on the sensor and in the lens, is clearly noticeable in pictures. Then I have to open the camera and clean the sensor. Now I prefer the equally cheap Nex 5T with the kit lens and maybe a pair of tiny fast manual lenses. The size is not that different, have better picture quality, better grip and it's easier to clean

Now that was an honest insightful review. I liked it so much I bout an RX100V and so far I have loved it! The video capability is amazing!

Holy shit, what the fuck kinda review is this! You need to do more of this!

Excellent review with lots of images! Well done!!!

One of the best reviews ever

great presentation. I had to sub! hopefully you put out many more videos. :)

Beautiful shot !

i have the mark 3 i bought at the beginning of this year its amazing i researched them all wanted a deal with all the features o wanted and its my facorite digital camera i have rn, while i wait to find an xt2 fuji.

amazing review, Thanks

Good stuff. I find it's a great camera exept I worry about that lens one day it wont come out or retract! I find on landscapes the clouds easily blow out, colours are similar to my DSR1 typical Zeiss (good for me). The Pan LX100 is more of a camera in the metal feeling mode,and the original EOSM is a goodie with fixed 22mm for pics all available second hand CHEAP! Get all 3 and spend your life keeping batteries topped up.😂

Great review, camera packs a punch.

Hi I really liked you're video on the sony rx100 I got the mark 1 and I was wondering if you're on manual or just one of the other camera settings and what settings you were using. Maybe you could do a video on you're settings for the camera. Thank you!

How did you do the post production at 10:50 once again? I'd like to try your method with my photos. I love your video by the way. It's what I am looking for.

Can I take pictures if I turn the screen off?

Really nice video, you took some really nice pictures, those places were beautiful. I’ve had two RX100s and one ii, definitely one of the nicest camera I’ve ever used (I’m on a pretty extreme budget). I really wish I had these when I went vacationing.. I definitely would’ve taken more photos, looking back at pictures I’ve taken with other kind of crappy cameras I just miss being there so much.

EXCELENTE REVIEW! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'M Andres from Uruguay, I am looking to buy a camera, and i have a very small budget, i also going to buy from ebay so i can't spend more than 200 dólars because of the custom rules in my country, so i was between the canon sx540hs because of the great zoom and stabilization, but I am an video editor, and i always edit my photos, and that camera take photos only in jpeg, then i find out this one, into my money range, but I was looking reviews but dosen't show a lot of photos to realy see the perfomnce, so thank you so much!

Sehr schön.👌👌 Weiter so. 😊Viele Grüße Jörn

Amazing samples

what an amazing review. love it

Extremely informative just subbed!! i just have some doubts though. Does the camera have a flip out screen or is it fixed?? how is the microphone on the camera?? and finally what is the maximum video resolution on this camera?

I thought RX100 iv is 24-70mm lens

Incredible!

Great video. I have one of these cameras but I'm not too keen on the jpeg colours. What did you use to edit the raws? I've got Lightroom 6 but can't seem to improve on the jpegs with it.

I am looking at the RX100 VII. I need the reach and the AF as I need to take pics of my toddler playing around. My A6000 struggles to latch on and the keeper rates are quite low. Also I don't want to buy any big fast zooms. (Heavy and pricey) How is the in - camera HDR mode and the quality of jpegs? I want to cut down on post- processing. I mostly shoot aperture and shutter priority. My Iphone has great DR. How is the DR on this one inch sensor and the eye AF on the RX100 VII? Will appreciate your take on this.

Hi, would you think this or a Canon S120 would be better, I have an S120 but am curious about the Rx100 series. I would just use it for casual shooting. Thanks

Buena review

can i get any level of blurry background while shooting pics of people with this camera?

Is it any good for night photography?

What firmware, 1.1 or 2.0?

Jesus love you all✝️❤️
