Let's begin!
This is the SONY RX100 mark VI and I'm giving you 10 reasons to have it in your pocket!
Stick with the video for a short review and you'll find out what's my favorite feature
by far of this camera.
Hey guys, what's going on, I'm Criss, welcome to Eye Stocker, the place where I review gear and teach you
how to edit photos and videos.
This bad boy from Sony is the RX100 mark VI.
In this video I will compare it with the older versions, the mark IV and mark V and to make
this more interesting, I give you 10 reasons to do this upgrade.
Before starting, tell me in the comments if you have a compact camera in your bag when
travelling and which one is it?
Here we go, 10 reasons to make the upgrade to the Mark VI .
Number 1.
The buttons, the in and out ports didn't change.
But the first thing I need to mention is that the viewfinder pops out quicker than before
because the part from the back extends without having to drag it out like on the mark IV and mark V.
Number 2.
I'm sure you remember that on the mark IV and V, you had a 45 degress limitation when
you wanted to flip the screen like this, but now on the mark VI, you have an extended 90
degrees angle to work with, which is much better.
Reason number 3.
Mark VI comes with an improved autofocus system called Phase Detection autofocus, with 315
points.
If you still have the older mark IV, which is using a contrast detection focusing system,
you should consider selling the mark IV and upgrade to the mark VI, because the new focusing
system is a game changer.
Mark VI only needs 0.3 seconds to focus, comparing it to its older brother, the mark V that was
able to focus in 0.5 seconds.
And here comes number 4.
Shooting in super slow motion at 250, 500 and 1000 fps goes up to a total of 8 seconds
on the mark VI, while the mark IV was limited to 4 seconds only!
I definitely enjoy this feature even if the quality of the videos is not so high.
5.
The continuous shooting mode at high speed is also improved now and I have to say that
I'm impressed.
The mark VI can shoot 24 photos in a second and the shots are always in focus.
As a comparison, mark IV and V were limited to 16 fps, so if you shoot sports or you want
to select the best shot while your kid or dog is running around, the mark 6 should be the choice.
6.
Let's talk about the buffer size.
First of all you need a fast SD card for this camera to be able to shoot at high frame rates
or in 4k, so I'll link it down in the description for you.
If you own a mark IV you may know that if you shoot continuosly the camera stops after only
48 jpegs and 26 raw files.
The mark V however was a bit better with a buffer of 150 shots in jpeg and raw.
But the mark VI has a bigger buffer now which allows you to shoot 233 frames in both jpeg
and raw before it stops to write all the data on the SD card.
Big improvement again!
Number 7.
The touch screen.
Mark VI introduces touch focus which allows you to choose with your finger where do you
want to focus on the LCD and it also has the touch shutter function, which allows the user
to touch the screen, focus and take the shot immediately after that, automatically.
But this is it, you cannot navigate through the menu for example using your fingers.
Maybe in the future, right SONY?
And here comes number 8, we're getting close to my favorite feature.
Number 8 reffers to the bluetooth function.
The mark VI does not have gps, but it uses bluetooth to connect with your smarthone,
grab the location information and save it in the metadata of your photos.
Number 9! Ok… how should I start this?
You see..
Mark IV and mark V, had a 24-70mm lens with a minimum aperture between 1.8 and 2.8.
Mark VI comes with a 24-200mm zoom lens which is absolutely incredible.
The photos that I took at different focal leghts are very sharp.
Look at this image.
24mm, 200mm… and if I zoom in to 100% here, it's really great for a compact camera.
One thing to mention, the new 24 to 200mm lens has a minimum aperture between 2.8 and
4.5, but this, at least for me, is not a problem.
Number 10.
On the mark VI you can now add different shortcuts in the My Menu section.
So instead of spending precious time trying to find a cool option and scrolling through
the pages, why not making a shortcut for it?
It's so simple.
This camera can also shoot video in 4k at 24, 25, and 30fps, and you have plenty of
other frame rates to choose from at 1080p and 720p.
Let's see some photos and videos real quick and then I will come back with one more awesome
feature and I will have my final conclusions regarding the new Sony RX100 mark VI.
So if you are vlogging you need to know that you still don't have a microphone jack,
but there is an HDR feature even in 4k which is great for retaining much more details in
the shadows and highlights.
You'll enjoy this option as well.
Other things to mention, the camera uses the same Bionz X processor, the sensor has 1 inch,
it can shoot photos at 20.1 megapixels and the ISO values can go up to 12800.
Ok so here is my conclusion.
The Sony RX100 mark VI comes with great improvements for an upgrade, especially if you're comming
from a mark IV but even if you have the mark V, I would still make the upgrade for the
bigger zoom and for the fact that it can shoot photos in high speed at 24 fps.
But this is my oppinion only.
So, drop a comment and tell me your thoughts on this.
