The screen shut off time is a setting, you can change that to stay on.

Great review video! Thank you!

that internal Sony mic is damn fine actually... some EQ/compression should punch it nicely

I used two last week for a worship band recording. One behind the drummer and one behind the piano. Due to the slog it was so easy to match them with the three fx6 cams. I will use them for my next production too.

Nice review mate might get it - doing a project - mostly vloging

Incredible Work 👍

Seems like this camera could be rad for a compact POV 3D rig - great review Caleb!

Good review. I've been looking to replace my GoPro5 and since you have to add stuff to this camera too, I'm going to drop it to the bottom of the list for now.

Thank you for review

Thank you, about the screen going black! I have a Sony FDR X3000 and it does that, and I was wondering what the hell as going on! Now I understand- thank you!

I do a lot of multicam shoots. This looks like a camera I could stick on the stage to shoot the drummer or the audience. Has it got a recording limit? Can you power it through USB? Can you record externally to an Atomos recorder?

The lack of in-body stabilization and the poor post stabilization option really killed this one for me. Still searching for the portable vlog rig with good stabilization and low light performance

It seems clear to me that this is meant to be similar to a tiny DSLR and not really for video. It seems designed for photos. Which it would be amazing for if you can do things like long exposure shots.

The C100 mkII was such a great call for your channel (love that camera). Combined with your simple gradient backgrounds, soft lighting and clean audio it’s so easy to stay engaged, especially on your recorded podcasts. Amazing progression on this channel!

I recommend the Movo Wireless Mini Camera Microphone for $39. I use one with my Insta360 X3 while riding my e-bike there is virtually no wind noise. The tiny transmitter should fit nicely on this camera

What about using it as a camera for live streaming, so locked off in a seated table top situation focusing on one subject & only recording through capture software and not turning over on the camera?

Hey may i ask hows the battery life of Sony RX0 II 1? Because i have seen many reviews about it that state that the camera has a very short battery life and the camera heats up after 4 mins of recording

Can you test if they heat up pretty fast?

Could you tell me with what camera did you record the video??

Thank you pointing out the fact that the screen goes black after a minute. That alone makes my decision. Thanks!

It's amazing how there are endless product review videos out there, especially for something like action cams (or travel cameras as someone pedantically pointed out here, will remember to put it down once I start action and not just traveling), yet so few of them really give the viewers the information they need, the real comparisons. This video does however. Great points about the stabilization and lack of continuous auto-focus. Awesome video, helped me out at least on my decision real quick.

also amazing that 'reviewers' manage to get vital facts wrong regarding this camera as well.

Thanks for sharing, very useful!

The RX0 has become my favourite pocket camera, ahead of cams from Ricoh, Panasonic, and Fuji. The still image quality is superb in raw, and the 1080p video quality is usable for paid work. The durability and tiny size mean you can take it anywhere and have far less worries about it than any other pocket camera. F4 isn't such the low light limitation it might appear to be, either. The downsides are tiny screen, no stabilization, and lowish battery life. But these aren't an issue as long as you know what you're getting into.

Funny story... If a person is planing on buying a camera they should look up what kind of camera it is and if it do fit their needs. Sony have never called the RX0ii a action camera... Its just a couple of reviewers that think it is one... This camera is made to be a small durable travel camera that function as a vlog camera due to the flip up screen.

First thing first... it should not be compared to a gopro or simular due to the rx0ii being a durable point and shoot camera but NOT an action camera such as the gopro.

Just halfpress the shooting button and it will re focus.

Hi 👋 might be a dumb question, I have an iPhone (8 plus) and use it for my KZread channel. I would like to upgrade from my phone camera to something that particularly, performs better in low light. Is this a good investment? I don’t do action stuff, would be a stationary camera when in use.

Thanks...good video. You'd think for the money there would be alot more features than GoPro & DGI. It'll be on the bottom of my list. Almost the same features as the DGI but for 350.00 less.

The only problem is that the Rx0ii is NOT an action camera and so should never be compared to a GoPro or DGI... It may look like a GoPro (causing many ppl to mistake it for an action camera... But other than that... Its diffrent)... To describe the Rx0ii i would use the term a "durable compact camera". Its small, light, takes good stills, can shoot 4k internally with diffrent picture profiles, drop proof, water proof, crush proof... And with a selfie/vlog screen... Its close to be the perfect travel camera imo. And the new firmware (v2.0) solves the AF problem he talked about in this video... No it still does not have AF-C but gets a push to focus function... So anytime a person half push the record button it will re focus making it possible to change angles, aim it at all kinds of things etc.

Hi! I have one technical question about this camera. Sony claims it has effective 15,3Mpx out of around 21Mpx. It would be the biggest waste I have ever heard of! Is it 1" sensor at all? What is the benefit of having such a big sensor, when you throw 30% of pixels away? And what is about the true angle of view and crop? Do I miss something?

@MegaUltraSuperDuable

It do have a 1" sensor. And the angle is equal to a 24mm lens (f4) on a full frame camera. You may remember back in the day when all smartphones competed to have the highest Mpx cameras on the market... There were smartphone cameras with more than 21Mpx but due to the small sensor the pictures ended up looking like shit if outside of daylight.. in short.. Mpx aint all there is to a camera.. the RX0ii is not an action camera, its a durable compact camera with a flip screen and the function to shoot 4k internally and with diffrent picture profiles... And it is drop resistent, water proof, and crush proof... while being small and light weight... Its close to the perfect travel camera imo. And with the newest firmware the AF distance focus problem he talked about is gone (it gets push focus... Every time the record button is half pressed it re focus)

How can GoPro, a company on the verge of death, make a stabilization system eons past what a giant company like Sony can come up with. Even DJI who has never made an action camera in their lives, make stabilisation eons past what Sony has come up with. Anyway a few things would make this the perfect camera. Competitive stabilization, continuous autofocus, don't turn off the screen after a minute and finally f2.8... I would pay $800 for that!!!

The Rx0ii is NOT an action camera and should not be compared at all with an action camera such as the GoPro. When sony launched the rx0ii they used the hashtag vlogwithsony if i remember correctly. The Rx0ii is a very durable compact camera but NOT an action camera (even if it do look simular to a gopro)...as a helmet cam... I would not get the rx0ii... But as a durable travel camera you can fit in your pocket, shot 4k with, selfies... Even go swim with! The answer is yes! (Just make sure to update the firmware so it gets push to focus AF during video, it will re focus every time the shutter button is half pressed when it record video)

Another good thing in a review is to KNOW what the product is and isn't.... I.e. the GoPro is an action camera, the Rx0ii is NOT. Even if it do look like a GoPro, it is really a durable (crush, drop and water proof) compact camera, for vlogging, selfies and travel.

First 😍

This camera is NOT a good buy over GoPro. While the 1 inch sensor gains 2 f-stops over the go pro. It has a slower len attached to it by 1 fstop(4.0 vs 2.8 aperture). Much worse autofocus and stabilization while costing double. It's a stupid product.
