    Thank you! The RX0 ii is definitely a great primary camera for vlog style shooting, or as a second angle with an APS-C or larger sensor camera as your main angle in a short film. Same goes for food, it's convenient that's it's tiny and tough to capture different angles (overheads for example), but food photography really shines when you have a macro lens on an interchangeable lens camera. ☺️

    @@garypardyphotography Thanks for the quick reply mate. I'm into handy camera right now and I'm really excited to hopefully buy a rxo ii anytime soon. I just bought an osmo pocket and action camera and am eager to buy the rx to complete the trio. 🙂 Just waiting for the price to lower down a bit. 😁 Cheers mate.

  • @garypardyphotography

    Battery life for video is rated at 60 minutes. Recording limit is 29 minutes per file. Of course, you can extend battery life with a cheap external battery or AC power, and recording limit can be bypassed with an external recorder.

    I've actually been thinking about this camera lately. There are still few true competitors in its class. The Insta360 One R might be the only other one that comes close - it's modular, more versatile, better video specs, and better priced. If I were shopping today, I'd pick the Insta360 One R, but I'd be happy with either.

    Good question, Roger! I'm going to say no, just based partly on the launch of the ZV-1, another compact, vlogger-centric camera. With the mark 1, internal 4k was a glaring omission and the flip screen was a major upgrade. With the only Achilles heel for the RX0 ii being the lack of continuous AF in video, I can't see Sony rushing to refresh such a niche product.
