RX100 Video

Not bad. Not bad at all. You can really see that Steady Shot working overtime!

I have noticed on the RX100 videos I have seen so far that they are not tack sharp like some streaming videos you see. Not sure if that is a bad thing or not. Your vid does have a pleasant softness about it and is not too 'brittle', if you know what I mean.

Thanks for posting this. I'm still trying to make up my mind on the RX100. I do a lot of video.

Have you seen this video from RX100? The guy has a lot of talent of course, but very impressive.

I saw that one. It's superb and really shows off the power of 60p for slow motion. As for the lack of brittleness, I think that's mostly due to the RX chosing the right shutter speed (125) in the auto setting. Makes for very natural movement.

Wouldn't you want shutter speed to match the frame rate, i.e. 1/60?
 
I love my RX100...i call it my little buddy.
i use it exclusively for recording video!

the quality of the video is almost as good as a camcorder

and its the only camera that i know of, that you can adjust

the exposure while recording!

as long as there is any available light, i can shoot without using a video light

and keep the video natural looking!

i wish it had a microphone jack!

If only they had allowed clips greater than 30 minutes in length... If only...
For what? You may want long clip length for recording a legal deposition or something like that.

Anything interesting enough for most people to watch will be 5 minutes long or less. It will be made up of a series of 3 to 10 second clips. Think of it as a slide show with sound and motion.

Video is fun, but can be a lot of work.

The RX100 video picture quality is considered good. One "pro", in a review, said he would not hesitate to include clips from an RX100 in any video shot with his best equipment. Used to collect "B-roll" (interest shots) it has high utility for him.

There are not many video cameras with video image quality that fit in a pocket. The Sony HX9V, HX20V and HX30V are good examples. About the same time as the RX100 was introduced, Sony provided the GW77. It also fits in a pocket, is very "ruggedized", shoots good jpegs and great video. I almost bought one, but wanted to learn about RAW, so I bought the RX100.
