Re: Suggestions on gear

I wonder what is wrong with the RX100 video quality. OK, it is not 4K and sometimes (seldom) misfocusses. I use one for family videos all the time. Got a magnetic ND filter on it. Currently it is my only camera, now my canon 10D (yes, a dinosaur) is breaking down. I love the pocket ability.

Do you need 4K video? Do you have the computing power to handle the files? Do you have a 4k television? If not, then 4k is spoiled on you and you can make really nice stuff with the RX100 I to III

I am looking into an M43 addition myself, but not because of video quality. It is the handling (especially switching settings) that is the problem, together with lack of proper IS, EVF  and a bit of tele-range. Properly setup custom settings will help a lot to avoid menu diving and partially compensate the poor handling.

I would get rid of most of your stuff and focus on using what you have. You could sell everything except the M1 and the 12-40 and may be a prime or two, and use the funds to upgrade the RX100 to a later version. That gives you a great dual cam setup that you can learn to use.

Less is more, sometimes.
