4K Vs 1080P Camera For Travel And Vlogging

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

This camera is amazing! It shoots 4k 30fps and amazing 1080p 120fps! Pictures look great too...but videos are what will blow your mind for the price! If anyone is looking to start videography and wants a solid camera...your search ends here! B&H shipping is great!

While the first RX0 was revolutionary, there were still many limitations that made it a tough sell for many hobbyist photographers. In order to get the best results, it required a pro set up (external recorder for 4K, as well as an external monitor to actually see what you were recording, and a gimbal to stabilize the footage). I know this because I shot a short film using only the RX0. Sony gave me the new RX0II to test out and heres what I think. Not only does this update address those issues for hobbyist filmmakers, it adds a flip out screen, making it IMO the ultimate camera for an entirely new sector of creators: vloggers. It literally fits in your pocket, is protected against water, dropping (even crushing), etc. If you can a dual mount and a handle that puts the mic off to the side, its still wayyyy lighter than even Sonys a6400, also great for vlogging.  If you have a main camera, and want the ultimate camera B for travel content creation or vlogging (heck, even the photos Ive taken on the RX0 are legit), this is a must have in the tool kit. Squeeze it into a tight space, hang it out the window, take it underwater, it kind of does it all, now in 4K internally. Like I said the original had some setbacks, but this one is a no brainer.

I love it for photos enough that I'm still giving it 5 stars. For video, I'd give it 1 star. I bought this camera with the benefit of a doubt that I can use it for video on occasion. It was not worth the extra money. Being an owner of the GH5, I would never recommend this camera for someone looking to shoot a lot of 4K video or even 1080p video with it over something more dedicated. Canon Log, although 8-bit, is light years ahead of 10-bit V-Log L. You can really shoot with Canon Log all the time, and never have issues with pulling out good video footage. Try that with other log profiles and you're really asking for trouble. The biggest problem with 4K on the 5D4 is the rolling shutter. It's really bad. People's faces get wobbly for tight portrait shots. Couple that with the inability to handhold it because it lacks IBIS, you got a wobbly video camera with amazing Canon Log that only works in very select situations. The crop isn't too bad if you use zoom lenses, but if you use primes, it just doesn't make sense to bounce back from the crop factor. 1080p is very usable however put it side by side with the GH5's 1080p, it's a few generations behind in terms of quality. But if you don't do side-by-side comparisons, you'll be fine doing some occasional video work where there isn't so much movement and you need 2 stops of dynamic range.

I've used the 1080p version of this camera since it was introduced. It continues to be reliable, but I wanted to upgrade to 4K. The sound quality is still amazing, and the clarity of the video justifies my purchase. I am very pleased with this unit.

This camera is so sharp at 1080p compared to the a7iii and can do 4k 60fps which is amazing. It is every videographer's dream camera!

Beautiful picture if you have a 4k source. I saw this Samsung DU7200 4K 43" TV in the store, and I was blown away by the picture and sound. After I got home and hooked the TV to a 1080p source I was extremely disappointed in the picture quality. I knew I didn't have a 4K cable box, 1080p only, but I thought this TV had upscaling. Which it does to an extent, but it is nothing compared to the native 4K which stores use to make their TV's have such a beautiful display. But that isn't the TV's fault, that is mine for not doing enough research. I'm ordering a 4k Utra HD hdmi cable. And a 4k TV source so I can get the best picture possible. Just know this if you plan on buying this TV, otherwise no complaints it is a great TV.

Good quality cable for 1080p. Doesn't work for 4K.

Great vlogging or travel camera! Even shoots in RAW! I thought it was super awesome to have a camera this size in my bag or even around my wrist when traveling or even just day to day things that I may not want my phone out for

I currently using it with 1080p. I bought the unit for future use if I add 4k devices. Remote does well for a simple remote, and it switches fast between inputs. I have a device that did not have enough power to work with an unpowered switch, and this unit works well with it. Unless it unexpectedly has some issue, I am pleased with it.
