SeekerSony RX0 II
The Sony RX0 II is great for action video. Video quality is good in brighter lighting conditions, although it isn't as well-suited to shooting in low light. The camera also includes a high frame rate mode in 1080p, meaning you can capture audio-free super-slow-motion footage at up to 960 fps, as well as regular footage at up to 120 fps. However, its 4k frame rates are limited, maxing out at 30 fps. The camera's e-stabilization feature is also just decent, and you'll need to use a gimbal if you need super-smooth footage.

The RX0 II is unusual and impressive in some ways, but it doesn't offer a compelling all-round package for most people. If you want an action camera, then the GoPro Hero7 Black or DJI Osmo Action are better bets. And if you're looking for a tiny vlogging camera, then the DJI Osmo Pocket or a Sony RX100 V are ideal. The RX0 II's electronic image stabilisation isn't great, which means it only really excels on a tripod. If this is the main way you like to shoot, and you're prepared to put up with its foibles, then the RX0 II could be a handy addition to your filmmaking arsenal. But vloggers and travellers should look at its cheaper rivals.
