this is shut on Sony rx100
five my secret weapon I reviewed this
camera back in November 6 2016 and I've
been using it excessively ever since and
today I'm going to show you why rx100
mark 5 is still one of the best compact
size cameras out there for almost all of
your video news including vlogging
[Music]
right now for my videos I use four
cameras a 6500 for the main angle Sony
rx100 mark four for the overhead shoots
Sony FD RS 3000 for b-roll and Sony
rx100 mark five for all of the cover
photos and all of the detailed close-up
beauty shots of the product so actually
I realized that I use this camera for
the most visually demanding stuff if my
6500 stops working it's fine I can use
my X 100 mark 5 instead of it if mark 4
stops working I can use this one again
if FDR ace 3000 stops working fine
unless I'm going underwater I can use
this one again but if this camera dies I
cannot do most of the stuff I do in my
videos I cannot do those precisely
focused detail shots with any other
camera
none of the cameras can go through that
tiny gap in between the leg and I Mac
Pro also a lot of youtubers use this
camera a lot of vloggers use this camera
a lot of makeup tutorial errs use this
camera and here's why
first of all this thing is a pocket
master it's very convenient and you can
put this camera in your pocket and
you're all set you actually don't need
other stuff it is so easy to mount it in
a car and it doesn't draw a lot of
attention now drawing a lot of attention
can be problematic can affect your vibe
and you may get kicked out of places and
some people may get you know disturbed
and then there's the video quality this
tiny camera has a one inch sensor and a
Zeiss lens and it shoots in 4k also with
this kind of sensor and this kind of
lens you have the depth of field and
depth of field is very important when
you're trying to tell this story it's
really important to separate you from
the other objects it makes the video
more personal also there are color
profiles you have your own look you can
apply it easily with the color profiles
and boom you have your own style in your
videos let's say you have a couple of
cameras and you want to match the colors
you can use the color profiles as well
then there's slow-motion you can shoot
120 frames per second in 1080p and then
there is super slow-motion where you can
shoot up to 960 frames per second for a
little bit of time
then of course one of the most important
thing we have in this camera is the ND
filter when you're outside turn the ND
filter on there's too much Sun it will
take care of it and then of course we
have the flipping screen the flipping
screen and you know when you want to
shoot in this style you want to see what
is going on you want to see if you're
fully in frame and how things are going
that's a pretty good microphone on top
of it and now what you're hearing is
Sony rx100 mark 5 and actually now I'm
on a skateboard and I'm going fast I
kind of made a little modification to my
microphones I added earbuds form on top
of it all so if you want the best audio
quality you can use a lavalier mic like
this connected to your phone and then
you can shoot things like this you don't
have to be in front of your camera for
it to pick up your sound
it also takes pretty pretty good photos
so let's say you want to shoot your
cover photo with this or let's say you
want to take a photo for your Instagram
let's say you're an Instagram
personality I'm sorry for you but let's
say you are one you can take a really
nice photo with this you can shoot in
HDR and then you can edit that photo on
your phone you can transfer it to your
phone and boom upload it to Instagram
just like that you're dumb since this
camera has been out for more than a year
now you can find really nice discounts
on it for example right now there is a
hundred dollar gift card and an extra
memory card bundle I think it's also
with a case on bnh comm I'm gonna link
that in the description box below with
these great features comes great
responsibility so here are some things
funny enough as I said that the battery
died and that's what I actually wanted
to talk to you about you probably need a
couple of extra batteries with you if
you want to use this
camera for vlogging because especially
in 4k it really drains the battery but
the good thing about this camera is you
can use the micro USB and charge it
while you're filming this camera
overheats but you can live with it you
may have seen on my Twitter that I
actually used CPU coolers to use this
camera and it works pretty well just
make sure that you're not just cooling
down the heat sensor but you're cooling
down the entire camera itself keep your
eye on the orange heat sign and you can
make things work especially if you're
vlogging you probably don't need to feel
for that long in one take during the
shooting of this video I didn't even see
the orange heat sign once the next thing
you have to watch out for is the
stabilization a lot of people like to
use the little tripod let me show it to
you a lot of people like to use
something like this because it's easier
to hold but actually what you're doing
is as soon as your wrist moves as you
can see you're moving the lens a lot
more so even if you want to use
something like this what you want to do
is you want to hold the camera as close
to the lens
as possible so your wrist movements
affect the footage as little as possible
its compared to this to this but you can
just use the camera by itself as well it
has a little bit of stabilization in
itself it's a little less in 4k but it
is still something and you can just stop
walking if you want to talk to the
camera you don't need to be walking also
you can get its stabilizer I love using
machines crane and with rx100 mark 5
it makes the footage a lot more
impressive and as much as a shaky
footage seems genuine sometimes that
buttery smooth footage adds so much more
to your storytelling
it's basically start telling right
[Music]
so whether if you're a beginner or an S
log addict whether you plan to shoot
vlogs or a cooking show or review
technology or eat Tide Pods for
attention there's a very capable compact
camera that can fit into your pocket
which will be by your side when you want
to do more or just set it to auto and
