Sony DSC-RX10 II Announced: 4k internal recording, 1080P up to 960 FPS, and lots more

The color thing is subjective. I like the colors I get from my a7S, other people don't. Perfectly exemplified here.

Because of colors appreciation is subjective and because of different camerad manufaturers have different color science - to those who care about the camera's colors, it' vital to look at it, on top of the technical specifications.

What I've seen so far on the net, I prefer Canon's color science and detaste Sony's one.

To each one's own.
 
Apparently I was wrong, and Sony isn't communicating clearly.

When they say "3 Steps" that would indicate 3 ranges of ND.

What they should say is "3 Stops" which is a single "step" in terms of control that offers "3 stops" of ND.

So it's a single 3 Stop ND internal.

Bottom line, if you're shooting S-log, you're shooting 800 iso.
For outdoors, you're going to want a 2 - 4 stop 62mm ND on the front all the time for any outdoor work if you want to shoot f/2.8, so that you can use the internal to get 5 - 7 stops.
 
Has so much to offer in video features, love the fact that it offers a headphone jack for audio monitoring. The Slow motion at 240fps below looks usable, higher frame rates are no good. One review on BNH mentions that aperture is not full manual and the camera will still step up and down, is this correct?

"While it is declicked, the RX10ii still electronically stops up or down the aperture. You will not get smooth aperture pulls."

Hmm..reads more like it's not mechanical..or continuously variable...as opposed to automatic.
 
The camera appears to be maintaining focus on the horse when it is coming toward the camera. I read a review yesterday that seemed to say focus was fixed at the initial focus point when shooting at 240fps or faster.

“Slow-mo at 240/250 fps is awesome. I would say that it equals Sony FS700 with regards to picture quality. But you are limited to 2seg (not too bad actually). The problem is that you must set the zoom, iris, focus (basically everything) prior to actually start shooting. Once the camera is in continous recording mode you cannot change anything. What's the point Sony here?? Very difficult to operate and most of the times, getting the perfect shot is a trial and error procedure.”

 
Indeed. This camera disappoints when it comes to photography. For video it's a little monster. Perfect B camera to pair with the a7s or a7rII.
 

The Sony RX10 was Jordan's favorite all-in-one video/stills camera. The latest version looks identical, but houses some exciting new technologies. Is the new version worth the premium price? Jordan Drake and Chris Niccolls take a look.
(Apologies about the color in this episode, Jordan had the wrong manual white balance on, and was unable to fully remove the yellow cast.)
