How about the new incoming Sony ZV-1?Anyone got or had experience of the "RX100vii", if so I'd be really interested to know your thoughts ? I'm thinking of upgrading from my "RX100vi" for one mainly for the video and external microphone capabilities.
George.
Many thanks for that Riz, must admit I knew nothing about it, I’ll give it a look.How about the new incoming Sony ZV-1?

Can't help you with a case Keith, but I should be really interested to know your findings with the RX100VII. I currently have the RX100VI and love it but I'm really getting into video etc and seriously considering upgrading to the VII purely for the extra video capabilities ie better tracking, stabilisation & auto focus, and of course the added external microphone socket.Just ordered the RX100 VII and looking for a soft-neoprene possibly - pouch/bag with a belt loop and velcro or magnetic closing, don`t like zips for camera section, wonder if anyone using anything similar. Cheers
Getting mainly for photos rather than video but will dabble in video a little, main reason is for something to take when walking dogs rather than a shoulder bag or rucksack however after watching some reviews, especially Mark Galer - though he is a Sony ambassador- I wonder if the RX will be all I need.Can't help you with a case Keith, but I should be really interested to know your findings with the RX100VII.

Keith, I don’t know if you’ve used one of these little RX100 series cameras before but the RX100VII has the same lens as the RX100VI and you’ll be amazed at the quality of images that can be had from it, particularly around the F4.5 to F5.6 apertures.Getting mainly for photos rather than video but will dabble in video a little, main reason is for something to take when walking dogs rather than a shoulder bag or rucksack however after watching some reviews, especially Mark Galer - though he is a Sony ambassador- I wonder if the RX will be all I need.
Steve., this is music to my ears, I currently have the RX100M6 which I love and I’m also considering getting that very same Gimbal that is supposed to work perfectly with my camera.I took delivery of my RX100 mk7 in late March. As the coronavirus pandemic worsened along with the chances on income dropping I did wonder if I had made the right choice. Now I certainly don't regret it. I normally carry 2 D750's with 24-70 and 70-300 lenses attached. For a lot what shoot I can now get away with the RX100. I have attached a JJC filter holder and often carry in a small shoulder 'man bag' along with spare batteries, polarising and ND filters, sanitiser, gloves and a snack. I haven't yet had any flare issues, but have a WA rubber lens hood that doesn't cause any problems. If I then add a filter it does vignette. A filter on its own no issue. 99% of what I shoot doesn't require a filter. I contribute stock and reportage images to Alamy, some have already sold. I do check all at 100% before uploading, sometimes reducing the file size. I don't normally shoot longer than 120/130mm unless for personal use. It's also great for shooting our cat, the RX100's small size doesn't intimidate him.
I haven't used it for video yet. Have been considering the Zhiyun Crane M2 gimbal, but read some reviews citing some compatibility issues. If I buy from Amazon and have issues I can always return it. Any other recommendations for a gimbal to use with the mk7?
Did you end up getting a gimbal? I was looking at this one https://www.hohem.com/products/isteadymulti for my V.Just out of interest, does anyone have or have experience of using a Gimbal with the RX100 series and if so which one and your user findings and opinion ?
I have a "DJI Osmo 3" for my iPhone and like it very much, so much so I'd like to get a Gimbal that is suitable for my RX100VI and probably an RX100VII in the near future.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
George.
Yes I most certainly did, I bought the "ZHIYUN Crane-M2" and once you've worked out how to balance the camera and link it up to the Gimbal its absolutely "EXCELLENT". It will also work with my iPhone if I want it to but as of yet I've not tried it.Did you end up getting a gimbal? I was looking at this one https://www.hohem.com/products/isteadymulti for my V.
The M2 is also on the shortlist as would allow a few other cameras to be used and my phone. It does sound like the more robust option so will watch a few videos on it to compare.Yes I most certainly did, I bought the "ZHIYUN Crane-M2" and once you've worked out how to balance the camera and link it up to the Gimbal its absolutely "EXCELLENT".

That's a positive "RESULT" in my book Simon, they're fabulous little cameras. Congrat's and "ENJOY"I have just joined the mk6 club from the mk4 which will be sold.
The mk6 has come with a smallrig bracket, still not sure if i will use it as it increases the size and weight of the overall package.
Thanks George, i enjoyed the mk4 just felt i needed a longer zoom range.
In terms of IQ i suspect there is very little difference between all the models unless pixel peeping
Spotted the RX100iii at Currys PCworld for £299!!

That seems a good price Mike, why not treat yourself ?

At that price it does seem to be a snip! But the only Sony on the site at that price appears to be the HX90B ???
