Fuji lover and not so Sony lover Kai from Digitalrev compared the stylish Fuji X30 versus the Sony RX100M3. The news here is that even Kai had to admit the Sony is the better camera 😉
P.S.: I am joking Kai 😉

I wonder what Kai actually shoots. He never seems impressed by anything.
He is in love with that video camera that shoots him.
What a tool. I don’t understand how anyone can sit through his whiny reviews. Even if he had something interesting to say it’d be too painful to process it.
I would never buy a camera because of a review by him. But… watching his reviews is somehow fun and sometimes informative and going to the cinema would be much more expensive. So it’s fine. Funny little guy!
Yeah, that’s probably the whole idea with Kai’s work. Not necessarily to inform, but to entertain. At least he does it much better than Ken Crapwell.
I just think it’s odd, because Kai seems like a guy who actually hates cameras. It’s as if the only kick he gets from it is rediculing every aspect of photography. I can’t imagine the guy actually going out and seriously shooting. His videos have nothing to do with photography…I’m not even sure if they have anything to do with cameras….he just happens to have one in his hand I guess.
Someone said he’s like the Jeremy Clarkson of cameras. A rather good comparison, and I am pretty sure Jeremy hates the majority of the cars out there.
That “someone” is, if not an 8 year old girl, is then a complete moron. I’ve seen every episode of Top Gear U.K. and Clarkson not only loves cars, but he a word class journalist with a body of work to prove it. Kai appears to be a tweenage attention seeking girl trapped in a prepubescent male body.
Jeremy, is that you? 😉 Yes, I definitely agree that the quality of their body of work are miles apart. But still, I am pretty sure Jeremy hates the majority of cars being built, hence the comparison. JC loves proper sportscars and other flamboyant or plain odd vehicles, but could not care less for Prius’es and housewife compacts.
he shoots and loves Leica.
Any RX20 news yet?
It is pretty clear which one is the better camera, no review needed.
it is not! The RX100 is way better in IQ, compactness and video functions. The X30 has a better handling, better controls, better viewfinder, better menu sytem with very well made in-camera raw development. So, both cameras have benefits. IQ is most important for most people, which means most will prefer the RX100, but not for all. 😉
Yes.
Also I am interested in a camera with a smaller sensor for use on very high DoF shots.
Nonsense. All of the “advantages” you mention about the X30 are either entirely subjective or completely marginal. On the other hand, the RX100 not only has more of them, but they are also substantial.
I’ve no clue why he compared those two in the first place. The Fuji is way bigger, thicker, and a non collapsing lens. He always waits until halfway through a review with a Sony product in it to say anything positive, and in this case finally says the Sony is better in last 30 seconds after groaning and nitpicking with backhanded compliments through whole review.
no need to be sorry. Kai is infamous of his Sonyphobia LOL
Out of the last 10 rumor/news, all 10 are about E-Mounts, and 0 about Alpha.
I realize admin can’t do much about it, but still it’s getting rediculous.
Yeah, just ignore the post about A-mount future from 2 days ago
Posting off-topic is bad, m’kay?
Find a thread about A mount to post in.
Three months ago I had a lot of sympathy for A mount owners, but it’s slowly eroding.
Isn’t that usually the case when a technology gets upgraded?
When a technology gets upgraded, yes. What does it have to do with anything? It’s not like E-Mount is an upgrade of Alpha, it’s a different product.
What does that have to do with the X30 vs RX100 III?
Next time I go to my local photo shop, I will bring a chicken (with the neck, otherwise it would look creepy, right?) and a ziploc bag. I will then ask the guy: “…but it will fit?”
I watched this because I might get one of the RX100’s. The stills he showed seemed to me to suck, from a DR perspective. Terrible. If you’re going to take pics like that, buy an old POS off ebay and go for it–or better yet, just use your phone. For that kind of garbage snapshooting, any real camera is a waste.
But you won’t look as cool without that pop up EVF. You gotta have the cool factor to take mediocre pics in public.
