Sony RX100 VII Premium Compact Camera 1.0-Type CMOS Sensor Black

Great little camera. I don't get great results on auto so I always shoot in manual and the images are great. I haven't worked with any other settings. They come out decent straight out of camera and then edited a little they're fantastic. It's very light weight and easy to carry around. It's very small and easily portable but it's actually almost too small. I have very small hands and even I am worried I will drop it. I will definitely be purchasing an after market grip for if. It is decently easy to operate but I hate that the power button and shutter button are so close. I always accidentally turn it off. I love the pop up viewfinder and the little pop up flash. It's not weather sealed at all so I was too afraid to even use it around any waterfalls. The screen being tiltable is very nice. Overall it's a great camera and I do love it, although I'm not fully convinced it's a good value for the money at around $1,500-1,700. That is a hefty price tag for this old of a camera.

Ok, so to keep it simple. As I stated, its worth the price of $1200. Why? Because it is a 20MP pocket camera, that has 4k recording with audio input. As well as an awesome focal range. Starting at a wide 24mm to a 200mm telephoto range. Whats not to like? Its awesome. Don't expect bird photography though. Now the lengthy part... I'm coming from owning a fair share of cameras as a professional photographer. As of this review, I have a Sony A7m2 with the kit lens, but also the 70200g f4 lens, plus other various lenses. The Sony a6000 + nex 5n, RX100m3, Fuji X100F. Further down in the review III will be the RX100m3 and VII is the one the review is for.Why does this become part of the review? Its because I can put this camera against some stiff competition before writing this review. As far as usefulness, I think this camera is 10/10. I used to carry the RX100m3 along everywhere with me because of its size. I kept it, for the fact that it has f1.8 at its widest vs 2.8 of the RX100m7. Now I carry the III and the VII everywhere. However, the one I have used primarily these past few weeks have been the VII because of its reach. I know 90% of my photos never exceed the range of 70mm. Found this out a 3rd time because of a 2 month trip to Viet Nam and Japan where I took only the III and X100F. During that trip I only encountered maybe 5 times max where I wish I had 200mm reach. Well, now I have that, and more. I'll upload photos later after this review. Build quality: 10/10 Is basically the same as you can expect from Sony and its previous RX models. Same high quality. Image quality: 8/10 I love it. Obviously it won't compete with the bigger cameras I have, but in good lighting (always a key) the image quality is amazing. The range this camera provides helps in making better bokeh portraits compared to the 24-70mm range of previous models (not including the VI). *my opinion you may not agree Video: N/A Honestly, not much a video person. Having an option to add a mic really pushed me to buying this camera. That was the selling point to me. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought this since I didn't buy the VI either. Where does this camera fit in? As expected, I can see this camera fit perfectly in my travel kit. Where 90% of the time I would use it while traveling, only pulling out the III when I go walking around at night or poorly lit conditions. If you know the limitations of this camera it will not let you down. Just, as explained earlier, it isn't going to be good for wildlife, but as a portraits and everyday camera. I think it nails it. What I wish: Weather Sealing! C'mon Sony, you pulled through with the mic input. I want to use these cameras in raining conditions. I'm a firm believer of what these tiny guys can do.

Picture quality is amazing, perfect size for on the go or travel vlogging too. Fits right in my bag. The Pictures I took were in low light and they came out amazing, pretty easy to use, but you'll have to play with the settings to get the Picture quality you want.

I won't mention anything that you can possibly find from reading the description and I'm certainly not a professional photographer, more of an amateur but in order to preserve all my memories, I need my photos to look great. I currently own the Sony A7R III, with a preorder in place for the A7R IV, but since I travel pretty often, I wanted something that was a bit smaller. Small enough to fit in my pocket and not attract too much attention. The Sony A7R just looks expensive, and combined with the 24-70mm 2.8f it can get heavy after walking around a city for a couple of hours. This is my very first Sony compact camera so I can't compare it to any other, but what I can say is that it takes really great photos (at least outdoors in natural light). I'm attaching two that I took earlier of my cat and backyard. I've been playing around with the settings and from what I've gathered, even in manual mode, there was no way for me to make my fstop constant, although I could change my shutter speed, ISO etc. If there's a way I'm sure I'll find it, or I'd like to know how to do so. While the photos look amazing in the natural afternoon light, I also love the option of having a built-in dedicated flash although I personally don't ever use a flash. The photos look sharp in the camera and also once downloaded. So why did I give it 4 stars. Because of what it didn't have. Cons. 1. Camera because of it's size can get real slippery after using for a while so I had to end up buying the attachment grip. While not overly expensive, it would have been great to have it, especially when you're paying over $1k for the camera itself. 2. Sony didn't include a real battery charger, but instead one that connects to a USB so you technically have to plug it into your computer to charge. Since I have a new MacBook Pro that wasn't possible for me, so once again I had to spend money on a real charger. BTW, there is also no written manual. Besides those two major things above which were my biggest pet peeve, this is an amazing camera. I also purchased the shooting grip so I can take it with me and take my own pics without having to ask someone to do so, and also purchased the camera case. If you're looking for something REALLY compact, and you're tired of walking around with your mirrorless or DSLR, then I say get this. I'll update this if I run into any other issue along the way, but so far I'm loving it. Update: Took it on a trip to Portugal for a week and it performed as I expected, amazingly well. Battery life was good for a couple of hours after taking a few hundred photos, but I purchased another just to be on the safe side. I prefer shooting in Aperture Priority mode, so set the aperture and had everything else on auto and my photos all turned out great. I attached the camera grip and was able to take selfies without having to ask anyone to take my photo. Camera because of its size is the perfect travel camera and now I may just end up canceling my preorder for the M4. I was able to zoom in and out and camera all the details that I wanted to. I've attached a few more pics that I took, one of a statue at 24mm and another up close to get more details. I still, however, won't adjust my rating to a 5. Someone mentioned that they received a wall plug in their camera kit, but mine was missing thus the reason I had to purchase the battery charger. And once again after walking around for a while in the heat and holding this "tiny" camera, it does get slippery, so I recommend the attachment grip. I bought the cheap sony camera case for under $15 and it fit in there perfectly with the attached grip, extra battery with no issues.

This is a little powerhouse of a mini camera. Only been using it for a couple weeks, but heres an initial review, basically likes and dislikes. The camera is small and packed with features useful for the prosumer. It’s a bit on the hefty side having a very solid case, that might be partially metal. The Zeiss lens is amazing being a 25-200mm equivellant at F2.8 to F4.5 and quite sharp. The menu system is extensive but takes a while to learn to navigate. The exterior finish, as others have noted, is a bit on the slippery side. A rubber grip pad is available from Sony that fits perfectly. Considering the price, I think this should be factory included. It solves the problem completely. The controls are a bit small for my fat fingers, but I dont see how they could be much bigger. The mode wheel on top is a little stiff to turn. I consider this to be a major advantage, preventing accidental mode change. The viewfinder is essential in my experience. The wireless transfer took a while to learn, but finally got it. Looking foreword to taking pix in Alaska next week. Also will report on very low temperature performance. Now, back from Alaska. Camera performance just fine in cold temperatures. One day it was 45 below. The camera did not get that cold, but I did use it outside for a few minutes. Image quality is impressive. Played on our 60” TV and looks just fine. I tend to use Aperture Priority (A) on the mode dial and Auto on the ISO menu. I used f5.6 for good focus depth and optical quality. It fits very nicely in a GI grena** belt pouch for quick access. Im thoroughly happy with this mini camera. Some have complained about the menu and button controls. Actually, I find the menu relatively easy to navigate after you have played with it for a while. The butttons are quite easy to use and understand.

I bought my Sony RX100 V7 camera in March 2022, with an extended purchase protection warranty for two years from Asurion, both purchased on the Amazon website. The camera takes excellent photos and I was happy with it. Until two days ago. Two days ago, I turned the camera on and discovered blotches all across the back screen. See my photos taken this morning. I had no idea what caused them as the camera was just sitting on a shelf. I had been really careful with the camera and even had bought a glass screen cover, which was on the back of the LCD lens from day 1 so the problems weren't on the outside of the screen. The camera lens also was clean so it wasn't the lens either. After doing some online research I learned that THIS CAMERA HAS A DESIGN FLAW. Search yourself under "Sony RX100 v7 - LCD screen - blotches - adhesive". The adhesive that holds the digital screen fails after a couple of years and those blotches appear on the LCD screen. You cannot get rid of them. The articulated screen needs to be replaced. I checked my warranties and (1) the original Sony warranty was only for ONE YEAR and (2) my purchased ASURION two-year warranty has also expired in March 2024. Then I remembered that I have a credit card that adds another year to the warranty so I figured that maybe I was still within the three year warranty period. Nope. What the credit card warranty covers is a year after the original manufacturer's warranty so my credit card covered the same time period as the Asurion warranty I had purchased with the camera (2 years from March 2022 so March 2024). But no longer. In other words, I wasted my money both buying the camera and buying the extended warranty! I am posting this review here because this camera is still available for purchase. Do not buy it unless you get at least a three year warranty from SONY that covers manufacturer's defects including the glue adhesive bubbling behind the articulated screen. Even better, buy a different product. And, if you have a credit card like mine that does offer another year of extended warranty protection, the protection is only on the original manufacturer's warranty, not on any secondary warranty so don't buy the second warranty. It doesn't help.

I bought this as a replacement compact camera (I also have full DSLR gear) for the Canon G7X Mk II. The Canon is an excellent camera but the Sony has additional capabilities that I wanted: • Longer reach on the Sony – 200mm vs 100mm • Sony has 4K video vs HD on the Canon • Sony has a pop-up electronic viewfinder vs. none on the Canon • The Sony supports the use of a wireless remote shutter controller; Canon does not The Sony is also slightly smaller and lighter than the Canon. One advantage area for the Canon is better low-light (high ISO) performance but the Sony is still quite good. Battery performance may also be better with the Canon but I always have spare batteries on hand. Images on both of these cameras are good enough that I can feel comfortable taking these on a trip in lieu of the heavy DSLR gear.

Great photos from a fully adjustable, pocket fitting camera.

This little camera from Sony is an awesome imaging device. Though it is sold as a point-and-shoot camera, it has full manual controls over settings. Some interesting facts about this camera are - 1. It can shoot even in RAW-only mode. 2. Impressive colour reproduction and dynamic range, particularly if one considers its small sensor size. 3. Auto-focus system is very quick and accurate . 4. Very high burst mode suitable for BIF or sports photography. 5. Very handy zoom range for shooting any kind of photography, except wildlife. There are some cons as well. They are 1. High ISO performance is not so good. 2. Menu navigation for changing settings sometimes can become cumbersome. 3. Buttons are too small to find out quickly, though its not a deal breaker. 4. Price is a little high. Anything around 60K would have been appropriate. Overall, this pocket camera is good for someone who is starting photography and who travels a lot.

I love this camera. I had the VI for 7 years. I'd bought it second hand, but then accidentally dropped it while travelling, and the repair cost was 2 thirds of the new price, so i decided to just buy the VII. I'm gonna be a lot more careful from now on! It does everything i need from a compact and more, and the detail it captures is incomparable to other compacts.

First off, it's not a low light champion though passable. Had a RX 100 M3 and this is much better in overall color science , picture sharpness and response. Even at high ISOs around 3200, you can get an usable picture , the grain and noise is well controlled. The lens is sharp throughout the zoom, but especially at 4.0 to 5.0. Battery life is ok , can last a day if you do not shoot 4k videos. And do get a high speed card , the writing speed improves. Impressive dynamic range and color tonality, not very good in dark conditions where an iphone or Google pixel can take better pictures with computational photography. Itching to take it while traveling. Cannot lug around my 7D after buying this. Returned the order for the Canon G5 X Mk 2 , I feel this is an overall better camera. Do not use it as as iphone for shooting, it's far more talented !

This camera has had so many online reviews so I thought I would add to them. I have to say, this camera delivers on all of the positive reviews I have read so far. Is it perfect, no, but for someone looking for a great travel option or looking to improve their image quality beyond their phone, this camera does it in spades! I won't go into all the things I love about the camera, image quality, focal length, size, weight are outstanding, however I will share 2 items I hate :-). The batteries suck, but there are a number of off brand batteries out there that work fine and are reasonably priced. They won't last the whole day so make sure you have a couple on standby. The second, is the location of the movie button. Honestly I would like to meet the fellow who thought this was a good idea. The beauty with this camera is the ability to use it with one hand but if you reposition your thumb to hold it firmer, you will press the video button by mistake and start recording, it drives me nuts! Beyond that, the rest of the camera is fantastic and highly recommend it, whether you are new to photography or a seasoned vet, it's a terrific option.
