Sony Cyber-shot RX0 II 15.3MP 4K Waterproof Digital Camera

Very convenient for me to shoot on the move. I work in a children environment and need the portable camera to capture any moment at anytime.

Unbelievable image quality outstanding 4k pro level video

If this camera would have had bulb mode, I would buy more of them without blinking. Dear product team, please note that bulb mode doesn't have to be unlimited, I understand that the sensor might get damaged, but 1min or even 30s would be enough, even 10s if is not possible more. This feature Is VERY VERY useful to control exactly when the exposure stops. Please consider adding it in a future firmware update!

Unexpectedly excellent images from a tiny camera, even in low light. Tested its video capabilities underwater and got shockingly clear 4K videos. Also used it for timelapse photography of sunset with amazing results. Only downside is that the LCD screen is difficult to see in bright sunlight. Otherwise very happy with it and highly recommended.

Maybe not intended but this camera opens a new world for nature photography!!!. It is rugged, waterproof and can be remote controlled. Time lapse option is also useful leaving the camera to take pictures for hours. I love this thing!!!! (just please extend wireless remote control range

RX0 ii more or less nail it as a casual compact camera for still photo taking, with the tiny but tough built, and great image quality with its 1 inch sensor. if you're interested in using it as video/sport camera, you might look at other options in the market. I do own Sony full frame a7iii for more formal events/activities, and use RX100 MK V and RX0 for daily activities in the last few years. RX0 ii addressed some issues I have on my original RX0 1. minimum focus distance is shorten from 50cm to 20cm, where I could take indoor photos more comfortably 2. Eye-AF gives me more confidence in still photos taking as I don't have to rely on the tiny LCD screen to verify the focusing every time 3. the flip screen ease my photo composition at extreme low/high angles 4. the built in timelapse feature extends the usability without external equipment! 5. the electronic video stabilizer does help but not the best among the competitors 6. it does record 4K 30p internally now! However, RX0 ii still has same shortcomings as its original brother 1. the longest shutter speed still capped at 1/4 sec, I still no idea why it cannot be used longer... 2. there is no AF-C in still/video taking 3. constant F4 aperture, hope it could be F2.8 or larger 4. the tiny battery last for around 200+ photos at most, spare 2 to 3 more batteries if wanna use it for whole day shooting I'm satisfied the RX0 ii's portability and its image quality, it shines as a still camera but an acceptable video camera.

It's a great little camera to have for vlogging and documentation. The quality is on par with some larger cameras and the audio is pretty good for an internal microphone. There are just a few aspects where I feel Sony is out of date. Firstly, the menu system is a bit much for a camera of this size. I do understand why it's there, but I also believe that a lot of the available options go unused. A simpler touch menu system would be a better choice if possible. Secondly, with other cameras supporting USB-C I don't understand why this camera does not. The majority of my equipment now uses this standard so I find it inconvenient to have to carry around a micro USB cable only for this camera. Lastly is the app. I don't use it. It's buggy and does a terrible job of transferring data. I've run tests and a 10sec clip would take me upwards of a minute to transfer. Instead, I just transfer media the traditional way with my SD card. I really enjoy this camera for the most part. I find it to be really handy in tight situations. But I think there were a lot of missed opportunities here. A few minor tweaks could make this camera 10x better.

i have been using it since march 2019 with my amateur video editing skill and i have been crushing my video assignments with this camera! can't wait for a software update or model update like rx0m3

Basicaly no IS (digital is utter... let's sey it doesn't count) and no tracking AF is not a problem, as I shoot it rigged somehow. Slow lens... I will live with that. After all it is tiny. Hard to navigate? I will just set it up and will not change. But the sensor? Really? That is supposed to be the key selling point. It was supposed to be type 1". Instead it uses 15.3Mpx out of 20Mpx which is 75%. It achieves 24mm eqivalent at 7.7-7.9mm instead of 8.8-9mm. Its crop is not x2.7 like it should be in 1", but x3.1 istead. With f/4 lens it is simply dark. Low light performance is not satisfying. It was supposed to smash actioncams in that regard. In fact the difference is barely noticeable. It has a form of actioncam but lacks its key features like wide FoV and proper IS. You could easily make it a bit bigger, avoid comparison to Gopro, use the whole sensor, and faster lens with some regulation of f-stops, tracking AF and IS, to make it proper camera for videographer.

I bought this little camera before a trip to Sicily last September. I tested it out around Aspen before I went shooting timelapses and wide-angle photos of Maroon Bells. It was the perfect addition for Italy. I used it underwater while snorkeling around Favignana and as my behind the scenes camera when I was shooting sunrise and sunsets around the islands. This little camera also served me well on my 30 Days of Dawn photo challenge. I had it setup shooting timelapse images of me shooting sunrise from a variety of locations. On a recent trip to Japan it died halfway through week one. It's in the shop now and I hope it was an anomoly. I miss it in my reptoire.
