Your reviews consistently deliver a standard of excellence rarely seen anywhere. Thank you.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

How pleasant to read your kind words, thank you very much!

@Danjnap 7 лет назад

It's always amazing to see how well you know every setting in the cameras you review. It ends up being such a good help when considering a new purchase

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Very kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.

@mageshjohny 7 лет назад

This is the most comprehensive review of the rx100 v feature set! Great review!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Your kind words are appreciated, thanks for commenting.

@mageshjohny 7 лет назад

***** Can you please suggest a suitable memory card for the mark V? I have just placed an order for the mark V :)

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

My brand preference is for Panasonic - but I can also recommend the SanDisk SDXC UHS I U3 (now also called V30) cards. Sony will not accept less than SDXC for 4K video recording.

@mageshjohny 7 лет назад

***** Thank you!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Always my pleasure.

@stupishinji 7 лет назад

I love your way to explain all the different features of the camera. Thank you for the excellent review!

What an extraordinarily kind thing to say - thank you very much!

@thenout 7 лет назад

This is exactly the kind of in-depth review I'm craving for before going out and buying a cam. Thank you for the effort!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

In that case, I'm glad I made this video - and I am grateful you took the time to post such kind words.

@howtohockeytraining 7 лет назад

Sony should hire you to make these for all their cameras. No need for a user manual, this video has me comfortable with my new camera. Thanks Maarten

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, always nice to hear my reviews are appreciated. Although working for Sony might be interesting, it would not allow the freedom to tell the whole story.

@usernamehandle Год назад

You have a new fan from this old review. I'm looking for an inexpensive, pocketable camera for casual portrait shooting. I just want a small body, VF, and fast lens... but it's been very difficult to find that in a package that actually feels good to hold and use! None of the other reviews of the RX100 series has covered the handling in this much detail. Much appreciated!

@MaartenHeilbron Год назад

Thanks very much for your kind words, always nice to read that my reviews are useful.

@rondowns4360 7 лет назад

Thank you! In trying to decide between the Sony RX100 V and the Canon G5X, I have watched literally dozens of reviews of this camera, and yours is by far the most detailed and comprehensive. You discussed, demonstrated, and explained several features that I have never seen mentioned in any other review of this camera. This is the way a review should be done. Subscribed! P.S. It was a really tough decision, but I went with the G5X, mostly for the touch-to-focus, easier access to manual controls, and the dedicated optical viewfinder/hot shoe.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thank you so very much for your kind words - they're gratefully received. Glad to hear I was able to help make a decision.

@kbruff2010 6 лет назад

Watched it - again - because of this video - I purchased the camera, you're style is great!

Oh dear - I've updated the intro sound since I recorded this video. Hopefully it also works for you.

@marcus-lord 5 лет назад

I've been looking to downsize my camera equipment for a while... fell out of love with my DSLR mainly due to its size and the extra cost of lenses. I was the one on family holidays lugging around a big bag of camera equipment everywhere we went. Even though it captured great images I found it simply became a hindrance - The beach became a tactical operation of trying to keep sand out of every orifice. Now I've offloaded all my Canon DSLR gear and bought this little magical marvel... granted the navigation of the menu & settings is something to behold and get to grips with but I remember building my first Video editing PC and how much of a learning curve that was, or using Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time... it's all a case of practise. All in all I'm very pleased with this fantastic little camera. Thanks for a great 'no nonsense' review. Much appreciated.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

It was a pleasure to read your kind words, and thanks for sharing your story - it's always nice to hear from a photographer who's found a camera that meets their needs and satisfies.

@photoshopeandotv 6 лет назад

Excellent review. It's amazing how much work and talent have been put into this video, how much super useful information is packed in every few seconds, and at the same time, how gracefully everything "flows" and how well narrated it is. A pleasure to watch. And, of course, I have learned a lot things I was not aware of. Congratulations and thank you!!

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Wow - what a pleasure to read your kind words, greatly appreciated!

@ThereGoesSpider 7 лет назад

Love your detailed reviews!!! Is it crazy of me to be deciding between this little beast and an a6500 for short travel movies(with a gimbal)? These Sony's are amazing. Thanks so much for what you do here:)

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate that you took the time to comment with such nice words, thank you. That's a tough call - I'll leave it to you. However, the smaller camera will work better on a gimbal - unless you're planning to get a larger one like the PilotFly.

@daadimooch 7 лет назад

Such a detailed review. I really appreciate your work. These past 18 minutes have been what I've been looking for since the day this camera was released. Thank you!

@Mohamedahmed331 7 лет назад

I just purchased the Sony RX100 V brand new for $770 from an online seller. It won't be here until Thursday I hope I like it. I usually don't think point and shoot cameras are worth the money but the autofocus of the Sony RX100 V got my attention

@Mohamedahmed331 7 лет назад

@anshuljoshi6149 6 лет назад

Great review! You should do an in-depth tutorial on how to use this little beast of a camera to its full potential. I'd pay for that.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, and your suggestion. I've thought about doing tutorials, and you'll find a few on various topics - but I'm going to leave that to other youtube creators.

7 лет назад

Got tired of hauling around my Sony dslr with a couple of lens and limited video features around when I can get this beast that fits in my pocket, and also transfers to my phone wirelessly for quick social media picture updates. Your review just convinced me to purchase this model ASAP, because waiting for a sub 1000 $ Sony dslr to be able to do what this camera does is an exercise in futility.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Hehe. Pragmatism wins again.

7 лет назад

Indeed!

@mossfashion 7 лет назад

Very nice and comprehensive review! It was also fun to watch and I love that you went so thoroughly in all the details, showing every feature and commenting about their functionality! The only thing I didn't get from your review is what is the camera overheating situation, when recording a movie in a lower resolution than 4K. How long would be the maximum time of filming and how low should be the quality/mode settings for that purpose...? I really hope you know the answer to these questions, because I don't seem to find it anywhere! I've gone through so many reviews until now... and I'm looking for a vlogging camera, that doesn't stop filming and cut my long sharing / Q&A / interviews.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. I'm sorry that's not an issue I examined, and I've returned the camera to Sony so can't do that today. Based on my experience with other Sony models, generally HD is better, but when the camera is this small, overheating becomes pretty much inevitable at any resolution. If you need longer recordings, think about a video camera which is better suited to that task (and has other advantages beside). The Sony AX100K (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SHSplI0x6vU.html) or its non 4K brother CX900, both of which also have one inch sensors might be better choices.

@mossfashion 7 лет назад

***** Thank you so much for your caring attention and prompt answer! I really appreciate you telling me about this other option... very kind of you! After watching your video and going through several other reviews, I think this is the camera I need! Have a blessed rest of the day and wonderful weekend!! 🌞

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

@scdobserver835 7 лет назад

Excellent review, as usual! I have the version IV and still very amazed by it!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

As always, I appreciate your kind words - thanks for watching and commenting. I should have mentioned that most of the previous models are still available, and still worth getting.

@scdobserver835 7 лет назад

***** Indeed! I had the original RX100 and I still didn't want to part with it because it served me so well before I bought the fourth version!

@KrunoslavStifter 7 лет назад

It offers more than most smartphones cameras do and for about the same size. As a second camera or casual snap shooter seems ideal.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Agreed, it's a ideal second camera. Small enough to carry everywhere without concern about space/weight and capable of all the control you want and a reasonable sensor.

@MrNYCman530 7 лет назад

I just bought the camera and love it. Sony makes an AG-R2 adhesive grip which I bought at B&H for $13.99. It helps a lot but should have been included with the camera.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Yes, that's a useful accessory for this model.

@g550driver13 7 лет назад

The best review yet!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Very kind words - thank you so much!

@jimmyle3068 7 лет назад

Your reviews are always great! You mean there's more to the camera than 24 fps burst and phase detect AF? Most other reviews on RU-vid would have you fooled...

@gregt8655 7 лет назад

Very comprehensive review as always Maarten. I think I might be too old school these days Maarten as I got tired watching you go through the "MENU" options. I've been making photo's for 44 years now and I tend to go for the simplest camera I can find these days - KISS. I still enjoy watching your videos though as they are some of the most detailed on You Tube - thanks!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thank you for your kind words - but I'm thinking "maybe TOO comprehensive ..." Truth is, most cameras are simpler than ever - as long as you leave it in either full auto or full manual and ignore the rest.

@gregt8655 7 лет назад

My thoughts too, If I'm doing some street or family I tend to leave the camera in Program mode and full manual for landscape or portrait, I very rarely use the other features.

@gregt8655 7 лет назад

I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't criticising you when I mentioned the menu options because I know a lot of people benefit from the detail of your menu operations, it was more about the length and organisation of the Sony menu system that I have trouble with- cheers.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

That's how I read it, but thanks for the clarification.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Right, me too. And since I've discovered autoISO, I can stay in manual pretty much all the time.

@emayen23 7 лет назад

The best review i have seen of a camera. thanks.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

That's very kind, thank you.

@Ghostmanriding 7 лет назад

An excellent review. Sony's crazy menu is enough to make you scream.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words - while it's dense and complicated, it does offer a series of features, capabilities and customizations that are beyond what the competition provides, which makes their menus (and their cameras) simpler.

@Pirx_one 6 лет назад

@HJF 7 лет назад

Very helpful thank you. However shooting 24fps and FCPX with 23.98p setting, my video renders out at like 10fps when I upload to youtube and have been getting a lot of negative feedback about the frame rate. I'm not sure what caused this other than 24fps so I switched mine back to 30fps.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words - I'm not sure what's causing that (some of my videos are 24fps and appear to play properly), but happy to hear you have a solution. In general, my recommendation is to use 30 frames for posting to youtube - 24 is a specialized frame rate for cinema.

@tugboat8475 7 лет назад

What a great video, well done. I want it. My wife brought me the a6000 and 2 extra lenses. 35mm 1.8f is amazing. But as we travel a bit i get annoyed changing lenses and carrying a sling bag. Would i be better off with the rx 100 n5? Cheers

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words, thanks. Yes, you might. Consider also the RX10 series, as the lenses on those cameras are very good and have a much longer reach.

Again a very nice review, but dont you think its too much money for this camera? After all, its still a compact camera with a small sensor....

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words, yes, it's kind of pricey - but so are its competitors.

@nemethmik 7 лет назад

It was a hilarious mistake from Sony not including touch screen to a camera like this in 2016. Even the A5100 screen would be perfectly enough to bring the RX cameras onto another usability level. Especially now that the RX100V has phase detect AF points, which work so brilliantly on A5100. Your videos are possibly the best on the internet. Alister Chapman is the other one I like listening to.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Agreed, and thanks very much for the kind words.

@Philbyyyy 5 лет назад

Centre focus is there because its simple to just focus on the subject in the centre of the screen and then to recompose. @6.30

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Yes, but doesn't the flexible spot single accomplish the same thing when positioned in the centre? And then you have the flexibility to move when needed. Why add unnecessary options?

@lielbouskila9853 6 лет назад

I have seen people saying that the RX100V has an extended 25600 ISO. Does it? BTW fantastic video, keep up the good work.

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

They're kind of right ... in the multi-frame NR mode, 25,600 is selectable. It's not available for standard images. And thank you for your kind words, always appreciated.

@anrn5303 5 лет назад

i found a solution for the missing grip! I bought this Quick Release L-Plate Bracket Hand Grip for Sony RX100 from eBay. You could attach a sony shooting grip and access the battery at the same time!

@Nilz4FR 7 лет назад

So far I found one thing that really bothers me. I bought the Underwater Case and tested it yesterday. The case has NO button to pop out the flash, so you have to insert the cam with popped out flash. But if you decide to turn of the flash once the cam is in the case you can only do that in AUTO mode. I hope they can fix that somehow with a software update. Really bothers me!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the note - always good to have some first-person experience with accessories. And it sounds like a valid complaint.

@dhedc 7 лет назад

Another great video. Thank you. I guess in the end this is a camera for those primarily wishing to make still images and some short video clips.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for watching, and as always, your kind words. Yes, that and want a tiny thing they don't have to worry about carrying around.

@rebdo 7 лет назад

Great video! I asked myself after your video if you now would recommend this camera to a consumer? I own a A7S Mark 1 camera and it´s great, but i am looking for a small camera to have in holiday in a backpack, so it´s has to be lighter and smaller. I just want the possibility to shoot in 4K and i want to have a flip screen to see myself, cause i missed it so much in the A7S.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

That's very kind of you to say ... definitely to a consumer with a minor insensitivity to price. It does what you expect and reasonably well - remember 4K has a 5 minute time limit.

@michaelholmes1912 5 лет назад

Great overview of the RX100V... always enjoy your videos. Looking at the MVA vs MVI vs Panasonic ZS100 or 200... not sure I can go wrong with any of these cameras!

Great review ! I've bought this for Christmas, do you think it takes better pictures than an iPhone 7 ? I'm disappointed in low light situations with the iPhone 7, hopefully it will be much better with the rx100 mark V.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. The real solution is better lighting - although I haven't compared, I suspect that this sensor is big enough to be better.

Can't go wrong with a Sony. I actually just did a review on the RX100 V recently, check it out!

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

I beg to differ - there are many ways one could go wrong - for as much as I liked the RX100V, the five minute recording limit for 4K makes it very hard to recommend. And then, there's the Sony menu system - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pPSIaIn1mys.html

@asdfasdfasdfasdfas35 7 лет назад

Both this review and your other one on the G7X mark II have been so helpful as I am looking at these 2 cameras! If you had to choose though, would you recommend the G7X mark II or the RX100V ?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Tough call - I'd be happy with either. But if both were on the table in front of me and I was going to take one out for a shoot I'd probably take Sony - I'm more familiar with the menu and I have a certain brand affinity I can't explain. Hope this highly idiosyncratic advice helps.

I have the RX100m4 and recently got use the RX100m5 - but also have the LX10 - still the big big overheating issue in 4k - No issue with overheating with my LX10 - no Touch LCD on the RX100m4/5 - why Sony ?? - I love the LX10 menu system and the 5 soft Fn buttons - the 4K burst mode and 4k Post focus and 4k Stacking - yes the RX100m5 does a bit better in tracking focus but not a huge difference as LX10 has DFD - but of course the buffer is a bit better on the RX100m5 - and no EVF on the LX10 for those in super sunny areas - Yes how nice to be able to pull focus with Touch LCD on the LX10 - I find my Sony's often pic focus on the object that I do not want and so cumbersome to change focus area vs just a Touch on the LCD yes both have nice eye focus which is great - So both the RX100m5 and the LX10 are great compacts - $300 higher price on the Sony might be an issue for many - great video review as alway Maarten - thanks

Thanks for the kind words, and reinforcing those decision points - always nice to hear from a viewer with hands on experience. I'm waiting patiently for the LX10 review loaner.

Nice video and details. Would have liked to see the aperture range information since I am looking at this camera to take with me during my trekking expeditions for landscape photography.

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words - sorry to have missed the detail you were looking for. However it's easily found in the specifications for the camera on Sony's web site - it ramps from F1.8 to F2.8.

@ujjwalmukherjee4384 5 лет назад

@@MaartenHeilbron Thanks for your kind response. Sorry, if I was not clear, what I was looking for is the information range on the entire aperture range, like f/1.8 or whatever the lowest no. to f/11 or whatever the higher no. I am not referring to the lens focal length of 1.8 to 2.8. Yes, sure, I'll look up at Sony site . Till this point in my life I have never used anything other than Canon and I have been a DSLR person so far 🙂

@MaartenHeilbron 5 лет назад

The numbers I provided are the aperture - it is a ramped lens, so depending on the focal length it opens from F1.8 (when wide) to F2.8 (zoomed in).

How does RX100 V compare with Leica M10? I know they are way such a different camera and the price, but it is interesting to see how close such a quality small camera compare to Leica M10!

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I agree that would be interesting. I've not had the opportunity to review the M10.

@FivosVas 6 лет назад

Both are really good. Decide based on your need for a small camera, or the ability to interchange lenses.

@vaidux81 7 лет назад

Great professional review indeed. Which camera would you recommend if I want to record videos indoors giving lectures on whiteboard in a small room? I do have a Canon 5D Mark III but it records max 30 min video at one time. Also controlling DOF and light is challenging due to whiteboard and its reflections.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for the kind words. I think I would recommend better lighting. I certainly would not recommend the RX100V. I think for video recordings longer than 30 minutes, your options are the Panasonic GH4 or a video camera like the AX100.

@vaidux81 7 лет назад

Thanks for reply, I will definitely check them out. Peace

Do you find the 5 mins record unusable if you only can have this camera and plan to shoot review like this, sport event and travel videos in 4K?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

It's usable, just might be a little frustrating as you're dealing both with potential overheating and the limited recording length.

@Nilz4FR 7 лет назад

Great Video! I set the C button to Eye AF but I don't get that green square on the eye. What did I miss? Shooting in P-Mode

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

AAaarrgghhh - i hate when that happens - that there's some exclusion or conflict and no indication of what's wrong. Although it's not needed - just make sure that face detection is working. EyeAF should work in other modes - but check with AFS and wide to make sure. After that, when all else fails, I just do a reset on the camera (and it's a pain, I know - particularly if you've customized the buttons and Fun menu - so I keep a reference card for my setup). Let me know if that doesn't work.

@Nilz4FR 7 лет назад

I got it set on wide and the face recognition works. I never saw that green square around the eye though. I do get many little tracking green squares if I focus on objects though.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

After you've customized the button, you need to press the button to get the eye detect to work. Try it on a large photograph of a face in a magazine to practice.

@lethal6475 7 лет назад

Another great review thanks. A question I have the sony a6000 after watching your review on it. So as it's time for an upgrade would you get the rx100v or the a6500? Thanks for your reviews.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words, thanks. What is it about the A6000 that you find lacking and requires you to upgrade?

Hey Maarten, how do you feel about the timelapse app? Do you think that it is a good value as opposed to getting an external tool that does it?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

It's a nice starter for time lapse. If you're serious, you'll want a real intervalometer. It's good value, but it's a little upsetting that there are other manufacturers who include better interval shooting settings in the firmware.

@needspractice 7 лет назад

I really can't decide either, I am between the RX 100 and the LX10. My wife is having a baby and I want to have the perfect compact camera to catch every moment. Price is not the problem, I just want the best. After watching this however, I am thinking now the Mark II. This is so tough. I did like the 4K of the LX10 and shooting without overheating but that stabilization is awful. I like the Mark II but the image quality in pictures I don't think are as good as the Sony. Maybe the Sony is the best if you want the image quality and 1080p recording without worrying about 4K. I think I am dropping the LX10 and now considering Canon vs Sony. What do you think the best would be for capturing family events no matter where you are? Video and Pictures?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Sadly, there is no perfect compact camera - you'll have to choose on which to compromise. They're about the same, either would be fine. I find the Sony (maybe it's just experience) a little easier to master (as long as you don't need the menus to change some setting). I think HD quality is fine and 4K (until cameras and TVs support REC 2020) isn't really ready for prime time yet.

@needspractice 7 лет назад

Thank you. So 4K out the window to which I do not really care about anyway. The only real good thing about the LX then is the touchscreen. Yes this is nice but its not a must have to me. Once I set my picture quality and 1080p quality. I'm done. I just want it in my pocket for when the right moment strikes. I pull it out and take a quick video or picture. I want the best for that and I believe the Sony is the best for that. Now if I want to get the best of the best, I can get a big DSLR and carry it around in a bag but that is for a whole other topic. I just want the best for that random moment to which you have a camera on you 24/7 for that amazing quality. I believe Sony delivers here. I did heavily think about the GX7 Mark II but again, the focus is to slow and the colors are not genuine enough. Its more of a vlogger camera to which it was made for. Faking up the face colors and dark backgrounds for all those quick room vlogs. I think I have decided on the Sony RX100 V, unless you can tell me something magical about the LX10 or the GX7 Mark II. Right?

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I think you've made a good decision and have backed it up with reason. Enjoy.

@edwin_ac 7 лет назад

As always thanks for the video Maarten. Just want to ask, can you control the power of the flash? Just like in other cameras, you can adjust its TTL power by -1 to 1. Do you also have this feature on the RX100V?

@giantmotopro3450 6 лет назад

great review martin! i saw both your reviews for m3 and m5. the price difference is a bit significant. do you think its worth it for me to get the m5 or m3 will do just do? what will be the major difference between the 2 models? fyi, i am not so adept with adjusting settings and mostly use the default settings. thanks!

@MaartenHeilbron 6 лет назад

The M3 is fine, the big difference is 4K video. In fact, unless you intend to use the viewfinder (which only became less awkward to use with he M6) I think the M1 remains a fine choice.

@jacobtran4010 7 лет назад

Would you recommend to buy the mark4 or mark5 since their price point is nearly identical on amazon right now for $898 iv and $899 v. Do you think the extra features are worth it? Im really impressed with the phase detection. I love your reviews, very detailed.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thank you for your kind words, always appreciated. The additional features on the V are certainly worth $1.

@mlensvideo 7 лет назад

Thank you for the concise and clear review. Like many, I am interested in quality still images together with 4K video in a small form. I would like to use it to supplement my larger 4K video camera in situations where it is more practical. The 5 minute limit is disappointing, but it is unlikely I will be taking very many clips that long. If one was to record multiple clips in 4K that, say as an example, averaged 30 seconds with a 30 second cooling off gap in between could this be done indefinitely until the card fills up or would overheating and shutdown still occur at some point? How long did the camera need to cool off before it can be used again? Thank you.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

I appreciate the kind words - thanks. I suppose that is a scenario that might work, but it's hard to be certain, as the ambient temperature plays a role. I'm not sure how to tell when the camera has returned to its base temperature.

Thanks for the review, I'll get mine tomorrow. Just one question: why, in your opinion, did they integrate the new menu system in a6500 and not in RX100V since they were announced the same day? Do you think it will come in a future update? Thanks

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

It's my pleasure. We can wish, but the difference is likely due to the shipping date, not the announcement date. Not sure if there's a hardware difference required to enable the new menu.

Hi Mr. Maarten, I'm your new subscriber. I would like to ask if this kind of camera can achieve a great bokeh shots or something like depth-of-field effects? Thanks.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

Thanks for subscribing, appreciated. Yes, this kind of camera (and most kinds of cameras) can get great bokeh shots - and if you have three minutes, here are my tips: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FgpHdMxv2rg.html That said, a camera with a larger sensor (APS-C or full frame size) and interchangeable lenses with large apertures (less than F2) can do it better than cameras that don't have those advantages.

@hihohello4688 7 лет назад

Thank you for answering my question and for giving me some tips from the link that you provided. I'm so eager to buy this unit but perhaps I should wait for Mark VI.

@MaartenHeilbron 7 лет назад

always my pleasure. maybe ... what feature are you anticipating that would make it worth waiting for?

@hihohello4688 7 лет назад

No specific actually because, I believed Mark V is capable of everything that I want for a point n shoot camera.. is just that I don't have money yet so maybe if they release Mark VI by last quarter of this year, the price of Mark V will be less.. Again, thank you for your time Sir,...
