Hey, look what I have here! It is Sony RX100 Mambo #5
It is a $1000 compact camera that points
shoots
and scores
I’ve been using compact Sony cameras on my channel since 2011.
In 2014 I started using RX100M2, then in 2015 RX100M4
I’ve released more than 150 videos using these cameras
And I love my Sony RX100M4. It is the best!
So if Sony RX100M5 is any better, especially when it comes to 4K video recording, I think will know
Sony RX100M5 has 1.0" CMOS sensor. Just like the previous one.
RX100M5 has a brilliant ZEISS lens. Just like the previous one.
RX100M5 has this electronic view finder Just like the previous one
RX100M5 has a flash that you can rotate. Yep you guessed it, just like the previous one
In high speed continuous shot mode this can shoot up to 24fps while tracking AF/AE
Just like! I mean... Unlike the previous one!
It has 315 AF points and it can focus in 0.05 seconds
Whereas it takes Sony RX100M4 two weeks to even realize it needs to focus
Sony's website says that Sony RX100M5 has outstanding 4K video capabilities.
What that means is this camera while it is shooting in 4K it actually shoots even larger.
It shoots in 5028x2828 and then it downscales that to 3840x2160. Sound impressive and like a lot of work.
But, can you see any difference?
It shoots up to 960fps in 1080p. I think that P stands for...
Potato! I haven’t seen anything like this since Nokia 6600.
When you switch to 480fps the quality gets better And when you switch to 240fps the quality looks like 1080p
Also RX100M5 shoots twice as long as RX100M4 which gives you a lot more chance to get what you like to shoot
The shutter can go up to 32000s and Sony claims it has anti distortion meaning less rolling shutter effect.
Well, not when it comes to Dobby.
There seems to be no difference between two cameras when it comes to ISO
Sony RX100M2 has a hotshoe mount. But Sony RX100M4 and 5, they don't have hotshoe mount
Also these guys don't have microphone input... Why?
probably, courage!
If you have Sony RX100M4 you know that its battery drains faster than iPhone 6's battery.
And if you own an iPhone 6 you may be going, "is that even possible?" yes with Sony RX100M4 that is quite possible
And focusing on the main object is not this camera's this. She just doesn't like it
And this guy heats faster than my toaster
So remember when I said "I love Sony RX100M4"?
Well Iied, I hate it!
Look what I have to go through to use this camera.
I have three different fans for different situations.
I’ve become an external battery hoarder because otherwise I have to unmount the camera from the tripod every time I have to change battery
and because I have a fan cooling down this camera I have to use an external mic which adds couple of extra steps to my editing
and on top of that I have to watch the clock because this camera stops recording 4k video after 5 minutes
What's that? Sony RX100 is not designed for continuous 4K video shooting you say?
Well, I couldn't agree more! So why don't I use any other cameras for video shooting?
Same reason why people date psychos...
They are terrible at a lot of things but they are good at one thing! You know what I'm talking about. You know that I'm talking about!
Also all that shenanigans seems to be over with Sony RX100M5. Look at Sony's website it says going beyond basic 4K requirements
Look right here. Beyond basic 4K requirements… So I guess it shoots longer than 5 min… OH NO!
Let me explain to you what kind of a fiasco "up to 5 minutes 4K recording" is
As you can see I have my Sony RX100M5 in the video mode.
And right now it is 85, 84 degrees
I'm just going to turn this on, I'm not going to hit record, just going to put down here while I explain to you
what that five minute limit is. It doesn't mean it stops every 5 minutes and then you can hit record again
No. It heats up so the second video after the first five minute video is less than that and then the next one even less than that
and then the next one, well good luck shooting that video
So because it starts heating up just by being on, that 5 minute limit maybe 4 or 3 by the time you get ready to start shooting.
And since this is the new one with all these new features maybe the heating issue is less
I’m going to use the same model, formatted memory card and batteries that are fully charged
Then I’m going to hit record and wait.
Both cameras worked fine in the first 5 minutes
In the second run after 28 seconds M5 dimmed its screen which is another new feature on this camera
And at 4:55 seconds RX100M5 turned off due to high internal temperature. RX100M4 was able to record another 58 seconds after that.
So the new RX100M5 was able to shoot 9:55 and the old RX100M4 10:58
Also RX100M5 drained more battery life almost in every test I made
I think both of these cameras are really good. But I need more testing. I think we should go to a museum and see some art
But when I said museum, I didn’t mean this…
Or this…
When I said museum, I meant this!
And when I said art, I didn’t mean this, I meant this!
Oh wow look a 4 year old 1200hp Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse… Boring!
Lets find something that matches RX100M5’s focusing speed
Sony RX100M5 didn’t keep me waiting for anything, it focused as fast as it promised and I really enjoyed it.
But how about RX100M4? Let’s see them working side by side
When RX100M5 was announced I thought the new features were like a new iPhone.
99% gimmicks %1 something you’re never going to use.
But the more I used this pocket monster, the more I liked it.
If you’re trying to decide between M4 and M5 just get M5, the one that does its job fast and properly
It is a great step towards my dream RX100 that has a hot shoe mount a microphone in, no heating issues, more battery life
ability to cook, clean, part time shaver, dryer, You know, something that will satisfy everyday consumer demands
RX100M5 also has couple of new options in its menu such as
Autofocus drive speed Autofocus track sensitivity Display of continuous AF area
Phase detection area Assign custom function key to use during playback Enlarge initial magnification
Enlarge initial position And Gamma display assist
