this is the new Sony rx100 Mark 6 can
you tell the difference
okay what about now I'm Ben from
Authentech and what you just saw is one
of the biggest updates and improvement
Sony made to their new mark 6 its
predecessor the mark 5 which I actually
made a full review video make sure you
check that one out later it had an
optical zoom lens of 24 to 70 mil the
new m6 blows that one out of the water
with the 24 same wide angle but zooms
into 200 millimeters that's some
incredible reach for such a small and
portable point shoot camera
now unfortunately that extra zoom does
come with a downfall the old m5 aperture
was at 1.8 to 2.8 the new m6 goes from
2.8 to 4.5 so that smaller aperture
might affect some of your low-light
shots and even a bit less of that
background blur it's a trade-off I did a
quick aperture test side by side m6
verse m5f 2.8 verse F 1.8 and here's the
difference in background blur and
possible bokeh also here's a
side-by-side of both cameras at about 70
millimeter at 4.5 verse F 2.8 honestly
both look razor sharp and nice on each
one thing I got to remind myself this
one inch mirrorless sensor 20.1
megapixels with a 24 Y to 200 millimeter
lens is packed inside a pocket
point-and-shoot an uber portable camera
body and there's a cost to this feature
we'll come back around to this at the
end is it worth it another new and big
feature that a lot of us were asking for
in the m5 it now offers touch focus so
now it's ultra fast and easy to tap the
screen wherever you want your focus
point to hit and with that wide coverage
315 phase detection autofocus it should
grab and lock that focus fast and
accurately which is nice and convenient
in this world of all of us shooting
video on our cellphones we're used to
just tapping our screens for focus so
it's nice to see this simple yet useful
feature in this camera
unfortunately the touch screen doesn't
work in the menu system this is a bummer
and I'm not sure why the next
improvement the m6 has over the m5 the
tilting screen which I use all the time
now we can finally tilt a full 180
degrees 90 up and 90 down when we tilt
the m5 screen down it stops at about 45
degrees and I've almost snapped it off a
couple of times I'm often shooting in
this up position with a camera pointing
straight down for tabletop unboxing
b-roll shots yet you can't really see
the screen
clearly with the m6 now we can fully
tilt it which is really nice and I'm
thankful for it another new feature the
m6 can now shoot 4k HDR video as the
name implies this will offer a much
higher improved dynamic range in all
your cinematography and it's a great
feature especially for those people who
have time and love to tinker with color
grading and correcting and
post-production it offers more accurate
colors lifelike textures and it's all
aimed to offer more real to life video a
few more smaller but nice improvements I
like there's this new menu design
there's this tab for custom favourites
for quick and convenient tweaking the
EVF used to be a two-step process but
now it pops up and out in one motion
same with popping it back in the m6 uses
the same batteries as previous models
this is nice if you already have a lot
of these little guys already laying
around onto one of my favorite features
of the sony RX cams it still offers the
insane high frame rate recording up to
1,000 frames per second I kind of want
to make a whole video on this feature
when you slow light down 40 times
it's so cool watching how things and
people and animals move all in the blink
of an eye
now sadly there's still one major
downfall of this camera and it's what
everyone's saying there's still no
microphone jack
my thoughts well Sony did this maybe to
push people who really need good quality
audio into their next tiers of cameras
like the alpha and a 7s lineup but then
sadly those cameras are losing the
compact nosov this little camera I'll
say it anyway though I hope we can see a
mic port and a hot or cold shoe added in
there next m7 model my other little
complaint 4k video is still capped at
that 5 minute mark just keep this in
mind so the big conclusion I see this
camera being a perfect fit for medium
and large-sized youtubers and vloggers
having that massive extra zoom would
open a world of new creative shots
I imagine travelers and bloggers the
camera snaps insanely beautiful
photographs and incredible HD or 4k
video touchscreen focus razor sharp lens
this camera alone could produce some
really great YouTube videos and the
reason I say medium to large size
channels the price isn't expensive for
these guys they go through these things
like candy now what about the rest of us
public where $1,200 is still a lot of
money well I see a lot of people making
the argument like what Casey said you
can get all three of these for the same
price as this point you however there's
a cost to having that same amount of
photo and video power that a DSLR offers
pack down into a camera that can
literally slide into your pocket no DSLR
is doing that and for a lot of people
shooting discreetly and subtly is
important a point-and-shoot is a lot
less intimidating for both the shooter
and people around it's a lot more
compact for traveling whether you're
just heading to the local coffee shop or
traveling abroad to Cambodia sadly the
m6 still doesn't offer that mic import
which is a bummer but for some vloggers
bloggers and many others out there the
built-in audio will do just fine that
huge optical zoom is gonna be a great
selling feature for many and honestly
well done to Sony for offering some nice
improvements to this new rx 100 mark
