Whether you are a Youtuber or just a videographer who likes to vlog and use compact cameras it’s always good to know a few techniques to get the best out of your beloved pocket filmmaker (or even your high-end smartphone. Jason Vong is sharing a couple of invaluable tips for squeezing the best quality out of the new Sony Video Creator Kit, which comes with the Sony RX100 Mark III. This camera by no means is outdated as it can still shoot really compelling footage that you would actually expect from much bigger cameras. I how an RX100 Mark V and when it comes to the image quality per se, I actually see no difference whatsoever. Especially on Youtube.
Sony Video Creator Kit – Many Extras, Hefty Price Tag
The kit comes with some nice extras such as the handle that doubles as a controller to start/stop your recording. Add an extra battery and an SD card, and you got yourself a ready to vlog Youtuber rig if you can sacrifice 4K recording which the RX100III can’t do. But let’s be honest, which vlogger is shooting (and editing) 4K, right?
Also buying a 3rd generation RX100 while we are already looking at the 6th generation of Sony’s high-end compacts might not be the best idea in 2019, while new compacts with audio inputs and a better price tag (see below) are highly anticipated.

However, with the G7X Mark III around the corner, which comes with a microphone input jack and roughly the same price tag (expected to ship in august), I’m not sure if an extra handle can justify the price of this kit. If you are planning to invest in a good compact camera you might want to wait for the new Canon and see what you are getting for the same budget. Getting a microphone input on your high-end compact is a pretty big deal for daily vloggers actually. Syncing your audio (if you used an external mic like shown in the video below) will be a thing of the past.
