Review on Sony RX0 II Camera: Unleash Your Creativity with the Black Edition by Micha Gabriel Czajko ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

The device was purchased in March of this year in addition to the Sony x3000, because I wanted higher quality video and photos, and this purchase fully justified itself. The video quality is noticeably better, especially when shooting indoors, the X3000 was not suitable for this at all, with good light the picture is also excellent. The photos are very high quality, I made a comparison on a plein air with a full frame and an L lens on the same apertures, the difference in quality is much less than the difference in price and dimensions. The camera electronics work out the exposure perfectly, Raw turned off as unnecessary. Despite the dark lens, there is plenty of aperture during the day, it’s just as normal in the dark, it’s already bad in the dark, the picture degrades a lot, you need to use a flashlight, everything becomes fine with the Comer 1800. Regarding autofocus, a problem contrived by fans to shoot a vlog in one frame, which is not the right action, it’s easy to get by with the right shooting, you always need to press the stop button before changing the plan, after pressing the record button, the camera first sets up autofocus, then the recording starts, everything happens very quickly . There are no restrictions on the duration of the recording, but the camera can turn off due to overheating, depending on the ambient temperature, although there are two modes of the overheating sensor, in the . high mode . the camera allows you to write for a long time, while getting very hot, I lasted 1 hour 50 minutes, if anyone then you need many hours of shooting, the problem can be solved if you place a small fan at the back, powering the camera and fan from the power bank. The remote control is a really handy thing, but I want a selfie stick, because at arm's length in the frame there is only a talking head, there is a programmable button, I put a video on it. Batteries are compatible with Nikon pln-el19, I took a few from Digicare and charging. Stabilization is tolerable, at the level of BOSS X3000. Ideal for travel and covert photography.

Pros
  • Compact, lightweight, waterproof, perfect for a beach holiday.
Cons
  • handheld stabilization is not ideal, steadicams need overheating, the lens is dark for evening scenes. I liked the video, photos for full-length portraits after the full frame did not come to me, in any case, there is simply no alternative to put the camera in the pocket of shorts and go to the beach.
