    You need to teach voice class. Seriously. You annunciate, put a space between words and great cadence. These kids today need to learn from your voice.

  2. @kalliemj on August 25, 2025 at 10:28 pm

    How big are your pockets? Cuz there is no way you are fitting a canon rx50 in there. I can’t even fit my phone in my pocket.

    This is a GREAT review. I’ve always loved my Canon pocket cameras. How about the Fujifilm x-m1? It’s APS-C without a low pass filter for awesome quality images. Stick on the cheap xc-15-45mm zoom (22-70mm equivalent) and you are on fire. It has a tilt screen too.

  6. @AlistairHig on August 25, 2025 at 10:33 pm

    I just can’t see a reason to get these cameras that are, at least in Canada $1k+, over getting a Mirrorless camera with say a pancake lens. Then later on, buying any other type of lens for a small amount. The sizes from mirrorless isn’t that vast. Can someone please explain to me why you would in some cases pay more for a camera without interchangeable lenses, less options and a smaller sensor?!

    I think these all look pretty cool, but only if they were around $500-1k would they be worth while. Unless I’m missing the point.

    Which one should I get for taking pictures with husband to keep it as a memory on vacations?

  9. @imboredDB on August 25, 2025 at 10:37 pm

    What about Canon’s inferior focusing system? The Sony’s terrible stabilizer 😮? This is what I hate about reviews.

  10. @moonstar6694 on August 25, 2025 at 10:37 pm

    is the sony rx100 vii still worth the investment? i need something compact for both video and photos. or would canon R50 be a better investment?

  11. @agusjaimesss on August 25, 2025 at 10:38 pm

    I just want to take pictures of the sunset and the moon! Which one should I get?

  12. @RetroRRR on August 25, 2025 at 10:39 pm

    i need long zoom range for a compact camera only..because my hp can handle for short distance and low light..but to capture image for a long distance ,this is impossible to my hp can achieve it .so,This problem will be taken over by my lumix tz99…i dont need VF or EVF actually because i prepare to use both of my eyeball to check the screen.only i use Vf for my old kodak negatif film camera because it doesn’t have a live screen monitor.

  13. @aestheticdetailstudio3939 on August 25, 2025 at 10:39 pm

    Lmao bro I’m weak. He said it’s the perfect camera to have if you’re shooting in an apocalyptic situation. 😂😂😂didn’t see that coming

  14. @stuartcoutts3898 on August 25, 2025 at 10:40 pm

    Great video… very interesting and informative 🙏💜

  15. @cfm4 on August 25, 2025 at 10:43 pm

    good video bro keep going, hopefully ur channel grows man!!!! also just getting into photography its pretty cool, dont know what camera i should invest in, thats not too much.

  16. @kenjiang21 on August 25, 2025 at 10:43 pm

    Great video, but your audio is different between b rolls and the self shots, if you didn’t notice!

  17. @kristofdelint-wouters1980 on August 25, 2025 at 10:44 pm

    It’s sad that the best overall compact camera for 2025, is still a model from 2019. What happened to the compact camera industry? When will we get a Sony RX100 mark VIII? Or an apsc model with flip screen?

  18. @djfghwetrysdfg on August 25, 2025 at 10:48 pm

    remember guys, bigger sensor, bigger heavier lens, more zoom = also bigger heavier lens my 85mm weighs more than 1kg

  19. @wellseasonedhiker on August 25, 2025 at 10:48 pm

    Good video. I think however if you’re going to consider the R50 you may as well go to the Sony A7C. Same weight, smaller body, better quality video. Yes, twice the price which is maybe why you made a pass on it.

  20. @arnieelm on August 25, 2025 at 10:49 pm

    I don’t recommend the ZV1-ii. Stills are unusable.My old P&S takes better photos.

  21. @danielssaputra1664 on August 25, 2025 at 10:50 pm

    No 1 not compact bro

  22. @tectorama on August 25, 2025 at 10:50 pm

    Another issue is security. There will be areas you go where you don’t want an expensive
    mirrorless camera on display.

  23. @mollykerrigan7888 on August 25, 2025 at 10:50 pm

    I had to pause the video to stop laughing at the hat flip at 3:19… lol. Great video – this really helped me narrow down my choices!

  24. @BureaucracyWorld on August 25, 2025 at 10:51 pm

    They cost too much, i rather use my old phone S23 ultra.

  25. @viewfinder_vibes on August 25, 2025 at 10:52 pm

    I got the Ricoh gr III and you can get good deals on it around the used market, I paid around 650USD for a used one (6 months old and in mint condition). This Camera beats most of the compact cameras TBH, is the smallest APS-C with 24 mpx, and it has insane focus when you get used to the snap focus features and also the IBIS is next level in this one so it’s good for low light shooting. If you like photography this is the best option, but it’s useless for video, don’t even try.

  26. @robertfitzpatrick2198 on August 25, 2025 at 10:53 pm

    I have a Mark 1 Rx100 from 2012. Is it worth upgrading? I’m just a travel photo guy no video no content creation. They seem similarly specced.

  27. @FroZenHDPluever on August 25, 2025 at 10:53 pm

    Damn you sound like a Mafiaboss! Camera mafiaboss

  30. @ghaah on August 25, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    Get a lumix g100 cheaper smaller and a bigger sensor.

  31. @IljaVicher-b1s on August 25, 2025 at 10:59 pm

    what about Lumix DC-TZ90?

  32. @LiandraAlmeida on August 25, 2025 at 11:00 pm

    Ótimo vídeo, me ajudou bastante

  33. @cartiercoston2637 on August 25, 2025 at 11:02 pm

    I want a camera with good flash under 200 what would be the best

  34. @natureb1rds on August 25, 2025 at 11:05 pm

    I have the Panasonic lumix gx850/gx800/gf9. It is a great camera and it is about the size of a point and shoot like the ones you talked about in the video. It has interchangeable lenses and a sensor better than a one inch sensor (micro 4/3). And it is very affordable. Definitely will recommend this camera.

  35. @mtbboy1993 on August 25, 2025 at 11:07 pm

    I already have a full frame camera, a7iv, buy a pocket camera would be nice for those moments when I can’t get the big camera out of my backpack in time. Rx100 Vii isn’t cheap. But I don’t dare to have the full frame camera mounted to my backpack strap. Nor a chest harness. I saw the Rx100iii used but still not super cheap but less than half of the price. Cheapest camera I found were super small pocket cameras. Saw some Samsung some Nikon some I don’t even know what is.

  36. @SubalaPeriyasamy on August 25, 2025 at 11:08 pm

    @3:00 Canon PowerShot SX740 HS has 40x optical zoom.

  37. @anderslundgren2806 on August 25, 2025 at 11:09 pm

    Great video! Right to the point info without unnecessary BS

  38. @jensbomholt4529 on August 25, 2025 at 11:10 pm

    Yes, also for underwater

  39. @x340x on August 25, 2025 at 11:10 pm

    i have the GR3, which is the best camera on this list btw, and i still dont bring it with me as often as id like, im not sure how smaller and lighter they would have to make it for me to keep carrying it lmao

  40. @andrewstorm8240 on August 25, 2025 at 11:13 pm

    Great video

  41. @marcc482 on August 25, 2025 at 11:14 pm

    LOL… regardless of size and / or price ALL cameras have compromises, none are perfect … and their usefulness depends on each individual and needs 🤷🏻🤠

  42. @mugwamp1057 on August 25, 2025 at 11:15 pm

    All good stuff; but the Canon R50 is not a compact camera now, is it?!

  43. @besytube on August 25, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    Good video pal 🙏

  44. @RobbW-ay on August 25, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    You are one of the best reviewers I’ve come across.

  45. @ramonalvarado9503 on August 25, 2025 at 11:19 pm

    all your pick are toooo expensive.

  46. @TiberiuMărgineanu on August 25, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    Video interesant și, cel mai important, foarte informativ.

  47. @sivabalanj on August 25, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    dual mic… and this… 3:20
    too much work put in the video
    XD

  48. @metsfan3177 on August 25, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    All way too expensive

  49. @Gardeninghobby-1 on August 25, 2025 at 11:21 pm

    Good analysis.

  50. @wvsky on August 25, 2025 at 11:23 pm

    Not sure why you reviewed the Canon Mark 2 when the Mark 3 came out before your video. It does have a mic input. But be warned: IT IS THE WORST CAMERA CANON HAS EVER MADE! I’ve had mine for well over a year and the auto focusing has to be the worst in the business. I paid a thousand bucks for my camera because everything I own is Canon, the best in the business, but something went wring with the Mark 3, and I’m out of a thousand bucks for this crappy camera. I’m hoping that Canon has learned their lesson from all the bad reviews in the Net about this horrible camera.
